    Detect Windows Close Button

    AsyncPostBackTrigger doesn't work in production

    Detect Windows Close Button

    Do you actually need this information at this point? Many people are unhappy about providing unnecessary information to a website, and will move on if they feel excessive information is required. I would never give an address except to plan a route or to get a delivery for an item I had already...

    I can float Nav in chrome and firefox but not ie. I am stumped (help)

    Most likely problem is no doctype specified, therefore browser will drop into quirks mode. See http://www.htmlhelp.com/tools/validator/doctype.html In general if you have any problems with layout start by using a validator which will help you resolve almost all of the problems straight off.

'">'; If you want the best...

    ie has a border on the edges of the screen

    Have a look at the document as it is seen by the browser (view content). It looks as if you may be sending something to the browser before the Doctype, which should be absolutely the first thing the browser sees. Check this article If you want the best response to a question, please check out...

    If you are having layout problems, start by making sure that your page is valid HTML/XHTML. Have a look at http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.meadowlarkco.com%2Flogistics.php With 34 errors showing there is a good chance that one of them will mask what the real problem...
