I try not to bug the geniuses around here too much, but I'm stumped and need some help. The site in question is here, and it's my upcoming design for my website. I've tried to make it incredibly minimalist, very clean, very accessible, all while being pretty cool technology wise, but I'm having problems. Here are my sad stories.
First problem: I'm using Invasion of the Body Switchers - Look Who's Switching Too (IOTBS2.0) for all of my preference settings (color, sidebar side, and text size). It's working well in most browsers, with the wonderful (
) exception of IE 6. IE 6 has problems with the color switcher, and usually crashes while switching the colors (but not sidebar sides or text size). Here is the key JS file used in setting the preferences, and the only other change I've made to the IOTBS2 code is changing the cookie name used in the key JS file. What's odd about this bug is that it's only effecting my color switching, and nothing else. I suppose that it's a JS problem since JS seems to be the only thing that could actually crash and freeze and application, but anyone with any ideas, please post!
Second problem: IE 5 Mac and Opera aren't handling the scripts I'm using for the preferences drop-down very well, and I'd like to just hide the div that they're in. I've found plenty of things for IE 5 Mac, but is there a CSS @import hack or any other CSS hack that I can use for just each of them, or both of them? It doesn't matter if it's hiding CSS or showing CSS just to the two, because I can work with both methods.
There's a few more bugs that I have to work out that are on my browser bug list, but these two concern me the most. Also, I'm plenty aware the the colors leave something to be desired (I'm sure my color schemes are a joke to the designers out here), but if you like a specific color (or have suggestions) please post too! Thank you to anyone who takes a stab at my problems and posts here.
