Thanks, this may force me to stop using the liquid layout. I will test the fixed width, in Win and with IE. THANKS. There is supposed to be a thin bar of background always present on the sides, but the red middle expands to fill the window. So if this is failing, I need to work it out, you are dead right on that.
Cooks4.us is supposed to have a French Bistro feel. That's because the target market is a step or two above take-out. Takeout for two people is typically around $25 if you don't order an insane amount of food. Cooks4.us is aiming at more of a personal chef type market, with meals for two in the $50 to $100 range. Not Shi-Shi like going to an actual upscale bistro. But not grubhub or Chinese takeout or pizza. Not that there is anything wrong with takeout. It is what it is, but my site is different. It's aimed at a different need: NICE food at home, that you didn't cook for yourself.
I don't know how many times I've said, damn, I wish I could order takeout that isn't pizza/Chinese/Indian and absolutely LOADED with salt and fat. I wish I could order something healthy... I'd even pay more for it. I'd even pay TWICE as much for it... if I could get it... That's the thought that gave birth to this idea.
As far as how it is intended to make money, the website will take payments from the customer and I take a cut, then send the rest on to the chef. The prices will be set as a collaboration between me and the chef. Chefs that are established with me will need less attention on their pricing and will have freedom to do whatever. But chefs starting out will need to speak with me at length and work with me to get their stuff set up. (I'll scale this into a process for later on and hire help for it.) Restaurants are welcome to sign up too... as long as they hit that target market of mid- to upscale food delivery.
What you're specifically not seeing yet are the meal selectors that I've designed in CSS/HTML and Jscript. They are NICE, and they are coming as soon as I can figure out how to integrate them with Drupal. I've already made them, and they are sitting ready to be worked in. That's why I really appreciated that suggestion to read Ca$hvertising, because from the beginning I had an inkling that what I'm after has this sexy food appeal, and I aim to maximize that appeal.
Anyways, I could go on and on... Thanks for the feedback guys. I will work it in and post up a note in a few days.
