Hi... I know I'm going to end up sounding like a complete idiot and the answers are probably right in front of my face but...

I need some help.
First off,
http://www.bleurose.net
Here is my site. If you are using Netscape or any other related browser (Mozilla, Firefox, etc.) you will notice that when you enter the site, there are a few bugs. When designing my site, I wrote for IE, which I guess was a mistake.

Stupid Netscape Problem 1:

- I used a script that got rid of that obnoxious scrollbar in my IFRAME, and used rollover scroll buttons instead. Works fine in IE, but when you hover over them in Netscape, they don't work. Why? Is it possible to fix this?

Stupid Netscape Problem 2:

-On the right hand side you'll notice a nifty looking skull image that is segmented for links. When you hover over them, they highlight. You see, in IE, they go back to being gray when you take your cursor away. In Netscape, they stay highlighted. Same question as above... why and can I fix this?

And lastly, I have a few generic problems and questions...

After the splash page, the main site is loaded into a popup window... are there any browsers that are widley used that won't permit this?

Second, I'm having resolution issues. I was thinking of having a page up at the beggining that A) tests for browser compatibility, and then B) tests for screen resolution, then redirects to different pages accordingly... but that would mean I would have to build ALOT of different pages with varying browser/resolution combinations. Is there any way to do this, and if so, is there a way to do it without so much work involved?

Yeah, I'm sure the answers are really simple, I just don't feel like looking, and I'm tired of guessing.

Thanks in advance for ANY answers and/or suggestions.

Regards,

Ostara

Firefox and other browsers can block popup windows. I use Firefox and block them. So do various addon toolbars such as Google and others. It's not a good idea to rely on popups for anything important.

Also, it seems that you have disabled by use of javascripts anyone's ability to rightclick or use a menu to look at the code. If people can't look, they can't help.
