hello…
i don’t think that’s tiger doing that – might want to check your system for any 3rd party apps that could be responsible for that sort of thing…
(did you install any sort of file sharing software? they are typical culprits for that)

hello…
ya know what? i wouldn’t be surprised if they re-wrote the mail search to piggyback on the spotlight thing…i doubt you’re doing anything wrong after all…
that sucks if you don’t want spotlight enabled…they are having a few growing pains with tiger, aren’t they?

hello…
mail itself has a search tool – you can put it in the menu bar next to get mail, reply, etc…
i can’t even remember if it’s in the toolbar by default, but if not, you can add it via the traditional menu customization system…

hello…
in a web page, text links are either:
a) text rendered by the browser in a basic font (times, arial, etc.) with a link tag surrounding it
b) gif files with link tags surrounding them
if you are making a nav menu and you want it to be plain text, then you do that in html and not photoshop (you can mock up in photoshop, but ultimately you’ll leave a blank space in the design and make html text for the links). on the other hand, if you’re making a nav menu with either an a-typical font that needs to be a gif file in the end or you are adding some sort of graphical treatment to it, then they will need to become gif files that you add links to to make them work…
so the end result in your case (based on what i can tell) is that golive has automatically turned your fancy nav menu into gif files so that they can be displayed on web pages…so if you need to change the text, you’ll need to repeat the process up to where you are now…

hello…
i think it wouldn’t matter, ya? if you want them to be text (text) links on the actual page then they won’t be graphics anyway in the end, and if they are your custom font then they’ll end up gifs anyway…
you can make a link out of a gif as well – just put your href around the img src tag and set the border of the image to 0 and you’ll be good to go as it will end up being that in the end anyway, ya?

hello…
can’t find the specific element that’s causing this, but it seems like you’ve got some css that is conflicting with other bits – the sidebar being absolutely positioned, for example…
ie tends to respond to placement and margin specifications more than other browsers do – so i’d guess that somewhere in there you have a width/height or margin tag that other browsers are ignoring but that is causing issues in ie. i’d suggest trying to remove a lot of the unneeded css and perhaps do more of this in traditional tables.
sorry to not have a smoking gun, but i’d have to experiment with the source for a bit to figure out what it is… :-/

hello…
to save – just view the source and copy/paste from notepad…that’s the quickest way. and ya – they do the edges that aren’t corners as backgrunds in a table cell – this way they just go on forever as the page gets bigger. so you really only need images for those cells that are as large as they need be to tile in the direction they need to grow…

hello…
nope – no css needed. all you need is a 9 cell table like this:
——————— | UL | TOP | UR | ——————— | ML | MID | MR | ——————— | LL | BOT | LR | ———————
then put your images around the edge – it might also be more clear if you take that page and make a local copy with the table border on – i did that here:
https://sitruc.com/cow/round_table/index.html
you can just download the code from that page for your local build – with that table border on you can see a bit more clearly how they did it…
make sense?
