I don't want to get into defending my site, but i'm gonna!!

It's written in ASP.NET and the whole gallery is generated off the
file system. The 266.666.... is not a coded value - the table on the
page is sized based on the browser size and the number of cells in
the table. Hence it might decide 266.666... is a reasonable width if
the table is 3 cells across i.e. table width is 800 pixels.

I happen to think the gallery part is quite cool and i enjoyed the
challenge of building code that would simply trawl my file system
for pictures and display them in a structured way. OK, so it's
written in ASP.NET which to some is the devil's work, but once you
get into it it's really powerful and does a lot more to enhance
building, presentation and functionality of sites than other
languages out there.

As far as Firefox goes, I guess i'll have to admit that i didn't
code for a browser that is currently used by a minority - not saying
its bad, just a very few people use it, and nobody I know personally
does. Guess I wanted to spend my time on building my bathroom rather
than making my site compatible with every single browser. Shoot me!!

If most people can't see the pages then let me know and i'll sort
it - otherwise, sorry for wasting your time!!
