Hi Michael,

A few quick tests I always do on a page are:
1. check for scalability (increase font size a few times to see if it
breaks)
2. look at it without CSS
3. look in lynx
4. look in a range of browsers
5. look in print preview

The left nav fails badly in Mac/IE5, can send you screenshots offlist if
needed.

The print preview does not look like it has been worked on - the browser
message is visible at the top of the page when printed. If anything this is
exactly the time you would NOT want the message to appear  :)

The usefulness of browser message has also been discussed a lot of times on
list recently.

Hope that didn't sound too brutal  :)
Russ
