Good morning from Wisconsin,

FWIW, I am so tired of creating standards-compliant sites in FF2 to have
them break in IE6, then fixing them to work in IE6 only to have them break
in FF2. Very frustrating.

The site in question looks almost as it should in FF2 but has a ways to go
yet in IE6. There is a wider-than-necessary gap between #mainbody and
#affiliations in FF2, and has whitespace gaps below #specials, #options,
#mainbody and #affiliations in IE6. As this will probably be an ongoing
issue in future sites not just for us but others, is there a visual CSS
validator for IE6 like Aardvark in FF2?

Also, I love .pngs for my mouseovers because of their smooth transparency
and have used pngswap.js from
http://homepage.ntlworld.com/bobosola/png_mouseover.htm for a few years but
don't like that I have to include pngswap.js in the html head. What do all
of you use for transparent mouseovers? (FYI, I was testing .gif
mouseovers in the test link above and quickly remembered why I like .pngs.)

Thank you in advance,
