We’ve got some friends in the south of France, Dannielle and Julian. In the summer, they operate a barge that takes well-heeled Americans and Brits up and down some canals. They recently purchased an old barn in the village of Argeliers and converted it into a villa, which they’ll rent out in the summer and live in in the winter.
In exchange for a week at their fine villa, I agreed to build them a website. I recently (almost) finished www.lalavandiere.com. It’s a humble affair, but I’m pretty happy with it. Thanks to vanderWoning.ca, from whom (with his permission) I borrowed the layout and some stylesheet bits that I’ve always admired.
One question for the design fiends out there. As you’ll see, in IE, there’s a single pixel gap between the top banner and the navigation bar. For the life of me, I can’t figure out why it’s there. Any suggestions?
UPDATE: Mark, who is a star, suggested the solution. Basically, in my code, there was a carriage return between the image and the table. While this shouldn’t make any difference, clearly IE wasn’t happy with it.

Get rid of the spaces between image and the navigation table:
Put them all on one line. I know it doesn’t make technical sense, but it works.

Always glad to be of assistance. I’m glad Mark spotted that carriage return, I’d have been all over your code tonight and not seen that.
Nice site Darren. I’m curious why the prices are in GBP and not Euros though…
Most of their clientelle will come from England and, to a lesser degree, the States. So, they should probably have the prices in US dollars as well.
I want your gig…no, really, I will code for a week in a villa.
Nice site…weird about the carriage return. Can we blame Bill Gates…I think so.
I’m sure Bill Gates is in there somewhere. I mean, look at NASA’s poor Spirit Rover, rebooting itself 60 times per day and getting nowhere. Rather like a PC with a bad case of Windows lock-up. Poor Rover.
It’s not such a big leap, is it?
