With so many validation errors it does not merit anymore time to look
at it. Twice as bad as their last site!
An advance up to 691 HTML errors
http://validator.w3.org/check?
uri=http%3A%2F%2Fbeta.ninemsn.com.au%2F&charset=%28detect+automatically%
29&doctype=Inline
The old site only 300 validation errors

[Now that I have your attention]
Ninemsn have a new website, currently in beta, demo it here:
http://beta.ninemsn.com.au/
I like it, big improvement. You have come a long way nineMSN -
congrats to design/development team.
The positives:
- easy on the eye, with a focus on information rather than advertising
- good information architecture
- navigation menu as lists
- good cross browser capability
- nice use of AJAX throughout (though nothing appears to have been
done in terms of focussing on the dynamic content after it is rendered
leaving screen readers unaware of what has happened - tested with
browse mode off in window-eyes)
- use of access keys (albeit only 2 instances)
Not so positive:
- i'd like a link to their rss feeds from the homepage
- top level navigation options (lifestyle, entertainment) do not link
anywhere with Javascript off - this is a pity since I am often on my
mobile browsing news sites and having js turned on isn't always my
preferred mode. Funny that they have not at least placed a default
href in the navigation for these menu options - they have elsewhere,
for example in 'Your Guide' section on the RHS all link out to
relevant sites with Javascript off
- inline styling
- empty alt tags
- popups (target=X)
Other:
- minimum browser width of 1024 (SMH, News and now nineMSN.
Crikey.com.au are running min width 800 :-)
Anyone else want to share their views with regards to the new nineMSN
website (currently in beta)
Kind regards,
Brad
