Yup - I've got to sort out 2 things:
1 - Get the "close" button to work
2 - Get the "slide menu left" button to hover on the top left of the page, even when the user scrolls down

Like this?

.selector
{
  position: absolute;
  float: left;
  top: 0;
  left: 0;
}

[Greenguy]

Actually, position: absolute; didn't work, so I went back to position: fixed;

.selector
{
  position: fixed;
  float: left;
  top: 0;
  left: 0;
}

[Greenguy]

Before I forget: THANK YOU to pc & Cleo & anyone else that chipped in helping me out with this. I really do appreciate it

Yes you are correct.
For some unknown reason I wrote absolute.

You know I did all this on my samsung phone during my offline work breaks.

Sorry to give you more work when you think you are finished but:

You really need some code that identifies the surfer's browser, and if they have IE8 or lower, gives them a message advising them that the site does not work "properly" in their browser and advising them to upgrade. Because the code that creates your slider just dumps everything at the top of the page in IE, making the page look shit, and most people will not know why, and just assume the site was designed by a lousy webmaster and badmouth you.

Also, Google expects "compatibility" and I'm told that they downgrade listings of sites that are not 100% compatible.

No disrespect, but maybe there's truth to them being advised to upgrade

Yeah, more $$$$ for Mr Gates!!!

Seriously though, LOR will look shit in IE8 if you don't "detour" IE8 users. You get two buttons at the top, neither of which works, then it dumps the entire menu on the screen, one column, font size about 4. Annoyingly, the one bit of your code that does work is the bit that makes the button hover, so you get a non working button following you down the page. It really does look like a page designed by a 5 year old after their first lesson at HTML. 99.9% of surfers won't know that the reason for this is because their browser is old, and will simply assume you are incompetent. Sadly there is that Twitter thing nowadays, and a couple of pissed of surfers with bugs up their asses combined with a few re-tweets of "LOR is shit" posts could kill your reputation and kill LOR.

Also, I'm told (but have been given no proof) that if your site is not IE8 compatible and does not redirect IE8 surfers to a warning page, Google assume it is badly designed overall and really drop your ranking.

All this shit, just to make Bill Gates richer, is it worth it?

I did change the settings on my IE Tab Extension for Chrome to see what you were talking about. 40 people yesterday either left or did one hell of a lot of scrolling

Seriously, HTML5 doesn't even work in IE8, right? Just upgrade! I once LOVED Netscape Navigator 2.0 until 3.01 Gold came out & you could see animated gifs moving

You are missing my point. I have upgraded, I have Vista (for my sins) and would have W7 if I hadn't been screwed over by a computer company. I have no love of XP (prefer it to Vista, but 98 was better) because I have no love of Microsoft. If I were expecting you to design LOR to my taste I would be expecting you to design it for the Workbench/Kickstart Os/GUI on an Amiga (1200 or "Big Box").

The point I am making is this: A lot of people still use XP IE8, not only are you pissing them off and risking a Twitterstorm against LOR, you are also NOT GETTING THEIR MONEY. Your own figures (which are incredibly low compared with mine and Google's figures) state that about 1 in 40 of your surfers use IE8, so that will be 1 dollar out of 40 you won't be making. If you can afford to throw away that money, then you are doing better than the rest of us (and if you are that rich, send some to me to finance my next film).

Keep ignoring the "inconvenient" surfers, and your sales will drop, the mortgage won't get paid, and you will end up living in "New Hooverville".

Ain't I just a ray of sunshine on a Saturday!

The menu dump beneath the copyright is not a problem because: Who the hell scrolls that far down?
