With regards to the demo; it would be nice to provide a few more hooks (id's) in the HTML so that it makes things easier to style with CSS alone. eg. ul id=photolinks lia href=http://demo.cat-scan.net/photo/demo/03/; title=03 access=7#8592;/a/li lia

Those coders that are knowingly writing invalid code (be it a trade off or sheer laziness) should be honest with themselves and stop trying to kid their viewers. Not only are you (like Nic said) weakening the value of the button for everyone but you will likely be found out (and to me - that

If that were your reasoning do you put a space at the end (or start) of every paragraph? I wouldn't think so - I think the space is unnecessary. I personally always put a carriage-return in my code after a br / eg. 5. The cat isbr / in the kitchen Not only does it make the code more readably,

I'd remove all the ยป in each list item and replace this with an image on the item bullet points. Also adding a label and/or legend on the search field (and hiding it with CSS if desired) would increase usability. Personally I'd also 'no-repeat' the bg image as it doesn't look as good on pages

I have some tabular content (in the HTML as a table) but what it to display as a list. This works fine in Firefox by making each TD display as a 'block', but does nothing in IE. Any ideas? I do not want to do any static positioning as the table content contains dynamic data. Would it be
