    "cybershot" said:well it looks good and plain. I think it would work well for those who know what all the info means. I do think it would be better if you listed the parks and then when the user clicked it then it would show the data. As …

    Convert your GIFs to PNGs and use a PNG Crusher to get those sizes down. My YSlow! shows 530+kb of data. That's heavy duty...the Yahoo! Exceptional Performance guys have done studies that a high percentage of page views are from unprimed cach…

  • 3 child columns with height:100% inside a parent div. How?
