I am curious to know what company is willing to pay for a site designed using only CSS, especially since the fact very few tableless sites work in all browsers. What happens when IE 7 rolls around? Will clients pay to have hacks written to correct problems? In my opinion, tableless sites are a great experiment, but not ready for primetime.

Any idea why some of the Sitepoint problems first noticed with beta 2 have crept back in? Most noticably the back image is no longer tiling?

The fixes we put in place for IE7 prevented our "catfish" ads from working properly on IE6. We decided to roll back the changes until IE7 gets closer to final release, at which point we'll look at solving the issues without breaking IE6 compatibility.

@Everyone else

Anyone else having similar problems viewing sites in beta 2? Occassionaly I see the odd problem that is fixed with a page refresh.

[...] In my announcement of the second preview release of IE7 Beta 2 yesterday, I mentioned that there was little available information about what was new in this release. Well, as one might expect, those details are beginning to surface as as people try out the new build. [...]
