Time Wasted
Things have been quiet here for several days, because my time has been tight. I’ve had alot going on offline; online I’ve been working on a website design concept. Having a good photograph at my disposal, I decided to go for Eric Meyer’s complexspiral effect.
If you are using Internet Explorer, don’t bother clicking that link until you’ve downloaded a real browser (like, say, Firefox). Because IE doesn’t correctly support CSS1 (specifically, background-attachment:fixed), this fantastic effect doesn’t work. Unfortunately, the site I’m doing this design for needs to work with IE. Somehow, I had forgotten that IE doesn’t support this effect, and so I’ve spent around 6 hours over the last couple of days putting together a layout based on this effect.
Back to the drawing board.

Browswer Display
The demo page looks ok in IE6. It has the image displayed twice, but does detract from the viewing of the page. I would agree that you cannot ignore designing for IE since it is probably the most widely used browser right now.
