hi bill

i suggest you replace all font tags like this:

<font style="background:#FFFF99">mod_perl</font>

<span class="sp-bg">mod_perl</span>

and in your style sheet do something like:

span.sp-bg {
  background:#FFFF99;
}

the <span> tag is the proper tag for this kind of thing i
think. as to why it needs the style specs in the style
sheet, god knows.


also, please dont supply properties for the dd,dt tags, try
this kind instead:

<dd>
    <div class="searchsummary">
     ... Document summary ...
    </div>
</dd>
<dd>
    <div class="searchprops">
    searcswish.cgi etc ..
    </div>
</dd>


also i think you should increase all 0.6ems font-sizes to at
least 0.80 - on macintosh font are generally smaller i think
- see below for a quick suggestion.

/* Search Results */

div.searchform {
    font-size: 0.9em;
}

td.searchheader {
    background-color: #525a73;

    color: #ffffff;
    font-size: 0.9em;
}

td.searchtimes {
    background-color: #525a73;
    font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
    color: #ffffff;
    font-size: 0.8em;
}

td.searchnav {
    background-color: #eeeeee;
    font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
    color: #000000;
    font-size: 0.8em;
}

span.back  {
    background:#FFFF99;
}

div.searchsummary {
    font-size: 0.85em;
}

div.searchprops {
    font-size: 0.80em;
    color: green;
}
