If anyone has a moment, please give this site a once over in your

Valid XHTML 1.1 and CSS : 3 Column float design.
I've tested IE (win32) 4.0 and up, latest version of IE for the Mac,
Mozilla 1.2, latest Safari beta, Opera 7, and Netscape 4.79
Ns4 and IE 4 both degrade from intended presentation but that's
expected. I'm just worried about keeping things usable.
I haven't compensated for the NS 4 resize bug yet so encountering that
is expected.
Opera 6 has some odd issues but the page is still usable. Any
suggestions on cleaning it up for Opera 6 (or should I even bother?)
IE 5.5 win32 users will notice an odd effect on the top-background
image. It seems the middle area will be overlayed with two white boxes.
Reloading the page or scrolling the image out of the view and then back
fixes this. Once the image is cached it appears the artifacts go away.
Anyone got any ideas on this? I've seen this happen on ever (6) IE 5.5
boxe I've tested it on.
IE 4.0 will freeze up if you scroll to the bottom of the page. I haven't
looked into this yet. Anyone know about this and can offer a fix or a
direction to go in?
Safari doesn't seem to recognize the :hover when the view is scrolled to
the top of the page. Scroll down the page even just 1px and the :hover
CSS works fine. Safari is still beta, but is there anything there I need
to worry about?
PNG opacity for IE thanks to the ALA article:

Is there anything I'm overlooking? I feel I may have focused too much on
the CSS that I may have missed some obvious things. The goal of this
layout was to emulate the existing design (http://www.bridgew.edu) while
decreasing overall size/time/cost of viewing the page. At the same time
I wanted to push torwards encouraging users to seek out more
standards-compliant browsers.
If you've read this far, you're a saint. Thanks!
