Uh, the scrollbar shouldn't be an issue anymore I restructured the
whole thing, total site size is down to 804KB (the earlier version was
3.66MB).
The problem I'm running into now is how different browsers handle
stacked PNG alpha transparencies over like images to create an overlay
fade/fog effect...I think.
Maybe someone would like to try and explain this:

An optical illusion is the best I can come up with for some of the
problems. I ~think~ I've gotten around it by altering the gamma on
the PNG files. For example the ones that are used in IE I've got set
at 51500 and that seems to work with ~most~ of them...except this one:

On that one I used like 59000 for IE and 51500 for Netscape and
Firefox. Also for the later two browsers I used 45455 for the gamma
on those and they seemed to turn out alright (except for the one
mentioned above)
....I have no idea why, I used the same image encoding methodology,
recheck it 6 times, emptied out the browser caches, checked it
again...maybe if it's really dark and purple...*shrugs*...that's what
I mean, there's no discernable pattern that I can make out. It just
doesn't make sense outside of maybe browser makers just REALLY fucked
up on how their shit handles PNG alpha transparencies and gamma
settings...and/or it's the product of an optical illusion...I suppose
it'd have to be both since otherwise I wouldn't get inconsistent
results between browsers. I also found some other strange
differences, like in Netscape if I used a REALLY light fade over a
dark image it seemed to blend perfectly, but then in Firefox it seemed
to transfer the gamma onto the bottom image and made that section look
uber bright..and then in IE it seemed to be about in the middle,
lightened it, but not a whole lot.
I'm curious though as to how other browsers and other operating
systems handle it, so if anyone has the time and wants to help
research this, please test the site:

Scroll through and check for any abnormalities. Abnormalities will
look like this:

This is what it should look like:

If you find one a screen cap would really help, along with the
specific browser you were using and the operating system...and the
brand and model of your monitor and graphics card would also help,
although at this point I'm really praying to God that, that's not a
relevant factor cause if it is it's just gonna screw the whole thing
up. So far the results have been consistent on a Radeon AIW 9600
using a an NEC MultiSync P750 and a NEC MultiSync M500.
