    I was able to successfully make Cimy work for me.

    I think the Cimy User Extra Field Plugin may allow me to do this. I’ll update if it works.

    Scratch IE. It’s not working there either. That makes me think it may be the code. Can anyone with more skills than me at JS help me out?

    Thanks so much to JTWilcox for this. This was even more security than I needed, but better too much than too little. It took a little extra time to get implemented, but it was well worth it. Also, thanks to lamarant for his addition. My link in my header links to the client page, which, because of lamarant’s script, either redirects to the appropriate page or to the login page. For users directed to the login page, I then use Peter’s Redirect plugin to redirect all client level users back to the /client page after logging in. The /client page then redirects them to their page.

    I may have spent a few hours making it very automated and pretty now, but from now on I have virtually no work to do to add my client pages.

    I can see how sites like YouTube and other sites like that that make their money off of ad revenue can abandon IE 6. More active YouTube users that net the site more ad revenue are very likely to be using a newer browser. Plus their average revenue/visit is much lower than mine. My 10% on IE is probably artificially low. I get lots of visitors from Twitter, various forums where my site is linked in my sig, etc. They’re not going to be potential customers of mine. So while it’s nice that they might link to me or something, they have virtually no value to me other than the aforementioned SEO help. Since that group is far more likely to be using Ffox or Safari, it probably drops my IE number lower than it should be. If I was a Google Analytics wizard, I could tell you by how much. Nevertheless, it’s probably ~10%.

    Thank you whooami for the link to the tutorial. Although it’s a much more complicated system than I need, I am working on implementing it now.

    I looked at my stats for the past 6 months, and there was still around 10% on IE6. That made my decision for me. It took an extra hour or two, but now I have an IE6 specific stylesheet that can override the default. I wish I could just abandon IE6, but 10% is too much for me, especially since many of my customers aren’t updating their computers.

    Thanks MAC for the help. I’ll go fix that right now. And I figured out the z-index. Since the original suggestion was that z-index could only be applied to a positioned element, I threw “position: relative” onto the #menu CSS. While it does nothing to the appearance, it makes the z-index work, at least in IE 7.

    I am going to add a little message to IE 6 users telling them to switch to FFox or at least get IE7. While IE7 still has its quirks, it fixes the PNG transparency issue and lots of other incompatibilities.

    Another thing. IE (7) is reporting the following error:

    Line: 2
    Char: 167
    Error: Expected ‘;’
    Code: 0
    URL: http://testing.bdrucker.com

    The issue is, there’s no character 167 on line 2, so I have no idea what I should be looking for. Plus, the W3C validator return the site as valid XHTML Strict, so I doubt there are any syntax errors in the code.

    Well, I tried what I think you suggested, and it hasn’t worked. Let me know if I didn’t do what you meant.

    Thanks for all the suggestions. I am correct in saying that you say I should remove z-index from any non-positioned elements and only including it on the ul#menu?

    Also, I switched the position of the beta button to absolute rather than fixed. I lose the scrolling, but oh well.

    As soon as I have access to IE, I will take a look to see whether my changes have worked.

    I messed around with the code a little, and making a class called no center designed to get rid of the block element and remove the centering. The code looks as following:

    .nocenter{
    	margin-left: 0;
    	margin-right: 0;
    	display: inline;
    }

    I then contain the set of images w/in a div and center that.

    OK, this is really getting on my nerves. I can’t just abandon having multiple images on one line. I’m finding more and more areas within the site that I need it. I’ll keep poking around in the CSS, but I’m not really making any progress. Can anyone help me out? It seems that no matter what, there is always one margin that extends the entire width of the content area, whether on the right or left.

    (@bendrucker)

    Well, I disabled CSS in my browser and the images promptly snapped together onto one line. So it’s not the HTML. Maybe I’ll just start deleting chunks of CSS until I find the offending piece of code.

    I’d prefer to stay away from table if at all possible. Unfortunately, none of the CSS solutions given, all very similar to what I’ve tried, have worked. I guess I’ll leave them centered on separate lines. If anybody figures out what’s going on, I’d be forever in their debt.
