I'm not bringing any particular solution but I just want to let you know that I've
checked the site in Opera (8.0 beta) on Windows. As you hadn't mentionned it I
thought it might help.
The site looks exactly the sane as in FF1.0. The only difference is the calendar which
does not display in Opera. You might be using some FF oriented js there.
Nice site though.
