Title: Dragon Way (Site Check)
Firstly,
congratulations on putting together a site that is well structured with the
headings etc. My comments relate more to the usability and accessibility
aspects.

Graham, some excellent points and ones which I hope to
I viewed it on a variety of browsers on PC. Technically, I guess, the
client is correct: the text isn't centerd. The entire image is centered in
the window. Since the logo on the left is a drawing, the actual text -
Dragon Way - is visually off to the right. And because of the color
difference

Hi Everyone,
Thank you all so much for the great information, that helped a lot.
I agree with those of you who said that one could stay with html, of course
as long as one uses clean and valid code :)
Thanks again

My apologies you did indeed say that.
The fact remains, that while it may be malformed and bad pratice becuase
it invites errors - comments can be terminated early or not at all, a

I have been lurking in the group for some time and have been humbled by the
collective wisdom present here. I am hobbyist (security network/academic type by trade)

hello,
nice
work,
but
instead of scaling the entire masthead image why not just have the images float
over to the right? and then the brown background under the the text image would
getwider?

Hi Mark,
First of all it looks like you are resizing your images using the width
and height attributes on the img tag. If those dimensions do not match
the ones on the image then your images wind up being pixelated (like
they are on the logo).
A quick scan of your code, replace your b tags
Yep. the masthead has been bugging me out. I decided to create one
single image comprised of four separate gifs (i.e. the text with the
brown background is a single gif). If I float right like originally
planned would it not be off centered. The site owner wants the image to
span the entire
Samuel,
I am much obliged. Everything you hit on has been nagging at me
(i.e. on the logo I am using width and height with percentages, hoping
for the logo to span the page as requested by the site owner. But this
results in a pixelized img. Any further suggestion here?). I will

Have an unscaled foreground image of your logo, placed over a background
image that tiles out to the edges of your screen, so it looks like

Mark,
Well, if they insist on a spanning image then I'd find four or five of
the images they like then turn joing them together and turn it into a
tiling background image, that way no matter how wide the page gets their
will always be images in the header, then you can fix the logo in the

Thx much. I will revert back to that strategy. 'Preciate the support.

Good deal Damian. I'm open to that suggestion. The font size is certainly not user friendly.
I am glad you're out there viewing this on a MAC. I don't have one that I can currently access.
Peace,

Nice styles, although it's a bit too pastel for my taste. I think the
stylesheet switch is being done to late. I always see a switch over
from autumn to spring.

The problem is, it's always going to be a different season for everyone,
it doesn't really matter if its set to the server time or not. The only
way to get around it would be to do an IP detect to check what
hemisphere the user is in. Maybe in the future..
Thanks for the link about the
Looking at your javascript, I don't understand your reasons for using
javascript. You are determining the season from the Month and Day. This is
constant across the globe (give or take) at any specific time. Therefore
can't you use PHP or some other server script tool or even just a manual

If you read the month of december as being summer its true for the

Sorry didn't read the thread properly.
If you did do the season check in a PHP script, the hostip.info project may
be able to help. A query such as:

will give you a country code which could then be used to guess the season.

For what it's worth, I've written a script linked to the hostip.info
database and a local dataset of country latitudes to guess the current
season. It's very rough and ready and you can check it out here:

for a slightly-risky, dark background instead of sticking with a
classic white background. I'm interested to hear if you think it

It looks great on FF/Win.
If anything, I would suggest that the overall page background be made even
darker to bring out the Blue/Orange a bit.

One point: white text on white background doesn't work well with images
off. Think you should give it a dark blue background-color too.

just a minor observation, the strong orange color
is used alot, on main links, heads so on.
Maybe throw another color into the mix to differentiate

Hi all,
I have been trying to fix a simple 2 col layout for a client. Maybe I'm
tired but couldn't get it to resize in both ie and firefox without float
drop, menu is left side. Nothing worked including right margins.
Ended up, because content comes first, making the margin for the right side
