cucamonga valley medical group

i built a web site for a friend of mine and his new medical practice. i will be adding to it over the coming weeks, but the initial site is working fine (on most browsers). the think i don't get is how internet exploder on the PC butchers the site. EVERY OTHER BROWSER WORKS PERFECTLY! damn microsoft and damn the IE team. they suck butt chunks.

i took it upon myself to build a site completely in XHTML and CSS standards (including the occasional MSIE hacks to make it work on that good-for-nothing piece of crap). it was a huge undertaking for me to rethink how i build web sites. i am used to using tables and frames which are pretty old-school. but after using them for so many years, it's hard to wrap your head around a new way of coding. especially since the HTML editors out there have become so visually oriented for design, which is great for a designer like me. i spent a lot of time in code view for this project and i tried to learn a whole lot. i think it really paid off. the site loads incredibly fast and it passed the W3.org test the first try!

not that anyone really cares, but i guess standards can be a good thing. if only M$ would pay attention to them. now i have to figure out how to make it work on the PC version of IE. i wish i could bill M$ hourly for beta testing web site design to work with their browser.

Here is the link to the site: http://www.cvmgdocs.com
