The Buffalo Flows site launch

To coincide with the airing of The Buffalo Flows on AETN TV, we launched the film’s new site. I had some decisions to make in terms of browser support (Internet Explorer 6 Windows, of course, and iPhone Safari) and ultimately decided to push iPhone users to the old site and just alert IE6 users that the site is accessible (wrong word) to them but that it isn’t going to look nice. The problem in question for the IE6 users is mainly the use of the transparent PNG graphics that enabled me to lay the main site content over a Google maps iframe. Other technologies used are xhtml/css and ThickBox and jQuery.
