get that one
covered, especially as it wasn't too much trouble to do so!
You're right about the menu of course. I'll give some thought to
implementing a 'skip to nav' solution.

Well done, the site is playing very nicely with Safari and IE5.2!
Layout
Well I wish I could offer a solution, but right now all I can give you
is as problem. Mac Safari looks great, but IE 5.2 looks pretty rough.
The main header content stretches to the left overlapping the
navigation, obstructing not only view but also clickability of the nav
items (they're
You'll need to align the text of the body to be centered, and align the
text back to left within your wrapper div:
body {
margin: 10px 0 10px 0;
padding:0;
background-color:#FFF;
color:#000;

#content div is concerned. The white of your #content thus is sized
to what's left, but since there is only the select box, its white
background ends just below
I think there's a need to strike some balance between following a
convention far enough so that even a first-time visitor finds the
navigation to be familiar, and considering what the audience is and
using words and phrases that are most appropriate. Or perhaps this
makes better sense: follow

From what I understand, you cannot control how a browser prints a
document (background printing, center a document, etc) without using an
