Site changes, CSS Style Switcher

Hah. Just as a response to those out there who feel the world revolves around Disability Access Programs. It can be as easy as this. Not because I have to or because I agree but because I can.
Ultimately I will use the technique to provide various design schemes within the same framework. Since CSS can also hold image links there is really no limit to what you can do. For now, I have only two style sheets and the differences are mostly in font sizes.

Original code: Alternative Style: Working With Alternate Style Sheets

Changed: Fixed the logo tables so that they don’t synch out in Firefox. Tried setting whitespace: nowrap in CSS but had to fall back on the nowrap table tag in the end.

Changed: Edited the Photobox. Looks much cleaner now.

Changed: Fixed linked images with img border = 1. They now have a CSS tag that forces border to be 1px solid black and no extra padding.

Changed: Almost all obsolete font and stray style tags have been purged.

Changed: Messed around with the Sympoll code so that it now conforms to the central style sheet.

Changed: The schedule information should now hopefully point to an english version.

Changed: Edited and added a newer version of ESCalendar to all portal pages.

Changed: Found a couple of empty table cells and unused style tags.

Changed: Added the parsing of title data in td and span tags to the Nice Title script. Now I can for example display the Shoutbox post info as a Nice Title popup.

Changed: Upgraded and changed the layout for the links. The is probably what I will go for in the future. Not the exact layout of course, but simpler, slimmer and more high-tech.

Changed: Added GeoURL coordinates as well as RSS information to headers.

As far as I can tell, the site is now acceptable within both IE and Firefox.

The downside of all the additions of late (Alternate Style Sheets, Nicer Titles, Overlib Enhanced ESCalendar) is of course extended load times. Not so much because of bandwidth usage but because a rendering lag sets in. Especially true for the Nice Titles that produce a peak 85% CPU usage as you roll over one of the larger ones.
