Michael, Generally you're doing alright. She's relatively consistent cross-browser. IE 6/7 on a cursory glance go along with your program. Same for IE/8. Opera, Safari, SeaMonkey, and FF. On a more specific level, just some random thoughts that you may, /or may not/, wish to consider... 1/ I think you'll want to use an xhtml 1.0 strict, or an html 4.01 strict doctype. Someone else can tell why xhtml 1.1 is not such a good idea. 2/ Check your site in a 640 x 480, 800 x 600, 1024 x 768 window. Note the clipping of the stuff at the bottom of the left column in a "short window." 3/ Should the navigation links in the left column be larger, the same size, or smaller than the primary content in the right column? 4/ If, for whatever reason, a user might scale the fonts, do you want the navigation links to horizontally cross-over and overlap the primary content? 5/ Is it possible to code the site with fewer ids, classes, and span thingies? 6/ Gray on gray is sometimes difficult for some users to read. Have you checked your site with a color contrast analyzer?
