I found this in the template auto generated by Dreamweaver:

At least you found it and it's fixed!  Good for you!

Pity the background's changed to lime green with puce and orange text though... ;)

I must admit it beggars belief that Adobe would insert that comment into their templates - and it isn't helped by the fact that DreamWeaver colour coding makes comments drop into the background to such an extent that you have to actively choose to look for them to read them!

I can understand that they want to make users aware of the issue but surely the best approach would be to have a standard IE hacks CSS file that templates link to - at least you would then see it in the CSS styles list and be able to edit it as required.

Madness - how many people have spent hours like me trying to work out why IE refused to move items no matter what you did?

Makes sense when you realize: obvious really  :-[

Is there a reason to put some IE hacks in the page? I know that I have one on mine that's put there definitely in preference to the external CSS file. Now you've made me wonder why...

Maybe I am naive - but if there is an external IE hacks CSS file it is at least obvious that it is there. If you put the hack in your HTML you know about it - having to read someone else's HTML in a design package like Dreamweaver in search of annoying and pointless CSS styles hidden in comments ....

If anyone would like to see a video of the children singing checkout the home page (if you don't see instructions above the main image refresh your browser window).

I am going to add a number of videos over the coming weeks.

Straight in at #1  :)

I like the little girl in the front who keeps her back to the camera.
Many pop idols should emulate that approach.

Yes I must admit she is my favourite - she is rather smily in the photo that you click though ;)
