Thanks Steve! Yeah. I've made note to the client regarding purchasing an SSL certificate. I told them I'd be more than happy to embed a self-signed certificate -- but I know the minute the finance page starts getting pop-ups, they're going to complain.
They're going to pay for a certificate when they've officially launched the site on their end (they haven't done any advertising for it yet... I just put it up on the domain live for testing ...) Oh, and I also did tell them the music on the landing page is obtrusive and very annoying for any user who doesn't have the option to turn it off. I guess it's what they want, and they're paying me to do it, so as long as it's not illegal, I do it. :-) Thanks so much for the positive feedback! - sf On 10/9/07, Steve Blades <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Steve, > > Very nice work, looks fantastic.
