The G part of GM is insatiable. She admitted it.

There are fancy image tricks on the web-page that anyone with a recent IE browser can see. Watery transparencies. Have fun.

Grump. Defying standards committees to insert your own browser-specific behaviors in CSS is cool like smoking is cool. IE-Windows only behavior is no fun for the GMs and therefore not encouraged on HoC related websites.

OTOH, Insatiable is recommended. And it's available at www.blowfish.com

Strangely enough -- my strange Netscape worked great on Arref's site. I have total web-envy. Beautiful job, Arref. :)

Many thanks for the kind comments on the webpage. Michael is of course right that non-compliant CSS tricks are nasty and to be avoided.

In this case, water overcame good sense.

Non-compliant tricks that don't break compliant browsers are much preferred to non-compliant tricks that do break compliant browsers. So on the five position scale (prohibited, discouraged, neutral, encouraged, required), it's neutral. If it broke things, it would be discouraged.

So, it's not broken, just not fun, for us.

css3 has an opacity property coming. The reason MS browsers are slow is that they have to support everything twice. Once the way they wrote it and again following the standard.
