    Looks perfectly fine to me 1024x768. Aligned in the middle well enough.

    Nice site.

    Looks fine at 1680x1050, but then I run my browser windows in a 'restored' state.
    By the way, the background on zhivago.ie makes me dizzy enough to vomit! (no offense) ;)

    Fine at 1280*1024, WinXP, Firefox.

    Though, your XHTML validation link shows it isn't :)

    it appears fine with IE6 @ 1024x768...

    not what you asked, but I'll say it anyway: trim the (xmambo) .css ...

    I'm usually a critical bastard but I really like that site. Nice and simple, not in your face, and pretty. Good job.

    I must confess I was expecting an flash abomination, but it's quite nice. Fine at 1600x1200 (Firefox on Linux). In a window, obviously; what sort of strange person runs browsers fullscreen.

    On a basically unrelated note, I HATE the buttons along the top. They are confusing. Buttons should not vanish simply because you're viewing the page they refer to.

    looks fine, but something that really bugs me about those 'box' or centered sites, is make sure they are at the same position for each page, i mean, i click on the links and the design shifts to the left or the right depending on each page.

    Gecko browser? I had this problem recently and the very talented and helpful Jonathan Morton suggested I add this to the css to force a scrollbar in gecko browsers:

    [html]html {height: 100%;}
    body {min-height: 101%;}[/html]adam

    no, firefox. i notice this in IE 2, you'd have to be looking for it really tho, as in loading the 2 or more pages quickly

    Gecko's the layout engine for Firefox, Mozilla, Netscape, etc.

    It looks a small bit lost in the middle of my screen, but at least it is centred.

    You might want to check the spelling as you have a couple of typos.

    You're using an XHTML valid thingy, but it isn't validating.
