I'm not sure what you mean with the wide-screen weird things ???

When the screen goes to wide, it removes the black background around the 800px template and expands to fill the screen (as expected).

I do see that there are some HTML validation errors (like the use of <center></center> [not in XHTML) and <br> instead of <br/> and <img...> instead of <img ... /> .. 

Did you adjust the weather-screen-black-wide.css ?

Best regards,
Ken

I did not edit the weather-screen-black-wide.css.

When I use wide screen the background seems to split to different colors (black or grey) depending on where I have the page scrolled to.

Did the pages look ok to you besides the errors?

Yes, they all looked the same in FF3 with either wide or narrow mode.

I wonder why they look different on my wide screen.
Here is a few screen shots to look at.


http://myidahoweather.com/VIDEOS/normal%20screen.jpg  Normal screen, this page is ok.
http://myidahoweather.com/VIDEOS/widescreenunscrolled.jpg Wide screen, not scrolled down, notice grey background
http://myidahoweather.com/VIDEOS/widesreenscrolleddown.jpg Wide screen, scrolled down, notice grey is gone.
http://myidahoweather.com/VIDEOS/widescreenstormreport.jpg Wide screen, scrolled down, notice black line across the bottom. It goes away when you scroll up, comes back when you scroll down.

I guess if they are looking ok to you, and nobody has complained, it may just be my screen doing it.

You're using IE and it's possibly more sensitive to HTML issues .. try working on your validation errata (starting at the first one, then rechecking).  When the HTML validates, then see if the the IE viewing issue is still there :)

Ken,
I narrowed down the problem to the length of the menubar versus the top of the footer. If the top of the footer is = to or above the bottom of the menubar, then the background changes depending on where I put my mouse or scroll the page. This seems to only happen on the wide screen setting. As long as the top of the footer is below the last thing in the menubar, everything works fine. I noticed this because only the pages that were short had the problems. I added some <br/> in the main body of the short pages to make them longer to fix the problem for now. I will do some more snooping around in a while.
