I haven't even looked at it in Netscape and it would probably be a good idea
to do so. But thanks for letting me know of all the errors that you got.
They'll be fixed.

I dunno about Ldraw licensing issues. It's possible to have a default image
for each part that would change as you scroll through the list of parts
defined. But since this will be a commercial site, offering lDraw images as
part of the services might go against ldraw licensing issues.

Believe it or not, looking through the list of users that registered, there is
a buyer with login name "bgok" :-)

The name of the shop will show up as a link on the main page. Where would you
like it to be?

You should be able to pick from a list of colors or specify a RGB value and
pick a background image for the left frame. If there is not background image,
it will just show the colors.

Thanks again.
