We were told that the reason they went to graphical links was that NS4.x couldn't properly read the menu the way it was set up before.

My statement regarding CSS is that it's infinitely possible to go back to the previous text links and make sure that they can be readable in NS4.x.

Possibly the site is set up in some odd way that I haven't investigated (it does run on a database, so that may be a concern), but "we had to use very slow-loading graphics because NS4.x couldn't read the text links" is a pretty weird reason, and unless there's a lot more to it, it doesn't hold water.

Again, programmers and codemonkeys aren't exactly known for their great communication skills, so who knows what the problem might actually be, but that's what we were told and it seems a pretty simple thing to do away with the graphics and revert to text and make sure everyone (including people using 1998 technology) are happy. ;-)

By the way, I'm not arguing with you. I just wanted to let you know why so many people were dissatisfied with the responses so far. We weren't told "We're looking into it, it's a little more complex than that," or anything of the sort. We were told, "Netscape 4.x couldn't read the text links," and that was pretty much the end of it, other than a lot of rather weird suggestions about changing our browser settings. No other information was forthcoming, no other discussion of the actual problem, nothing other than comments that came across as fairly condescending. ;-)
