Doesn't work with old browsers. And may want to make sure potential clients browser versions are compatiable with the site

Which browser did you try it with? Thanks for the heads up.

When it broke I was using IE version 9.0.8112.16421.

Interesting, when I switch to IE 9 it loads fine over here. What exactly broke?

Just some layout things. Everything is there but the layout gets totally screwed.

Works fine and looks good in Firefox though.

shit, ok will look into it. Thanks!

here's one part where the layout goes out of wack.

wow that is really nutty. appreciate the screenshot!

Personally I wouldn't bother fixing it just have a warning that says "This version of Internet Explorer is no longer supported. Please upgrade to a ......" (I took from gmail) So they know if they continue this isn't how the webpage is suppose to look and may behave badly because of it. Or something along the lines of that

I think IE 9 is about as far back as I'm willing to go. So I would like to get that working, but you are right, anything older and I should have a warning.
