Hi got everything working for the most part and the site is comming along very nicely and im learning so much, and thats great, but i am curious how do i find out what my site is waiting for..

what i mean is that no matter what page im on it says 1 item remaining, and it allways shows that page link that im on, i have tried looking at it thru the bug util of ff but i dont know how to pull up exactly what its waiting for, maybe there is something i need to close, i dont know,  and it never goes away allways waiting, im not getting any errors...

any clues to point me in the right direction, its a php site...

Would you like to provide the URL so we can all look at it? FF is far more forgiving of errors than MSIE.

Just a comment on the page header... please remove the "This Site is Best View on Firefox". Besides being ungrammatical, the Firefox (and other Open Source software) community has worked long and hard to get rid of "Best viewed on..." nonsense on web pages. That's left over from "Best viewed on Internet Explorer 6" days, where MS page editors like FrontPage and Publisher would put in lots of proprietary crap to make sure a page wouldn't render well on non-IE browsers, and to deliberately exclude visitors not using IE. The days are over when you had to tune your page to look best on one specific browser. Just assume that anyone using IE6 is not going to have a good experience -- but that's their fault for using such an ancient and (even at the time) bad browser.

It's fine to use the Firefox logo (unsquashed) with a link to the FF site, to encourage people to use it. However, it's considered in bad taste to say "Best View[ed] on Firefox".

Got the PM and see what you mean. This seems to be a common issue and not easy to find. Do a search of "msie 1 item remaining" in Google and you will get lots of results. I see flash mentioned quite a bit as the culprit and AddThis. I did notice that if I use compatibility mode it fully loads with no waiting message. I use MSIE 8.06 btw. Sorry I can't help more.
