[Gimp-web] rendering problems

[Branko Collin]

The new site lay-out has severe rendering problems on IE for 
Macintosh. I ran the code through a validator and got several errors, 
so I'll try and fix these first before I file a bug report.

Since most Mac users still use the once great Internet Explorer for 
Mac, I would suggest this to be a blocker. 

Also, KHTML and older Operas have this weird bug in which they try 
and adapt gamma for what appears to be anything but GIF images. This 
means that under Safari and probably Konqueror, the Wilber JPEG image 
we now use at the top right corner of every page, will probably look 
brighter or darker in these browsers.

This is a browser problem, as far as I can tell, so I suggest 
DONTFIX. However, I don't know that much about colour correction (or 
the JPEG specification), perhaps somebody else could say something 
useful about this. (Yes, I know that JPEG does not store a Gamma 
value, but see also <http://www.hut.fi/u/hsivonen/png-gamma.html>, 
under "Opting out".)

Actually, I now see that the entire page renders badly in Opera 
Win/5, though not as bad as the Mac IE 5s (5.1 for OS 9, 5.2 for OS 
X). Where on the Macs, the content area gets shifted to the right, 
outside the viewport, in Opera it gets shoved under the menu.
