Today was our last day before the holiday break. We've spent today debugging Internet Explorer errors, and have made progress. The registration page forms no longer moves when the user hits tab. Internet Explorer still has a lot of problems though, especially with anything requiring cookies such as logging in. These pages work in Firefox and Google Chrome, a good alternative to Internet Explorer until we get that working. We hope to have the website supporting multiple zones for a user.
