Henrik is referring to this part of your style sheet:
a:link { text-decoration: none; color:blue; }
a:visited { text-decoration: none; color:green; }
a:hover { text-decoration: none; color:red; }
You made it a Global instead of a Local Variable and since the screenshot is
wrapped inside an anchor tag the entire border changes color which I believe
is how come he is calling it "rather evil CSS."
I'm surprised he didn't complain about your use of frames and a form list just
to target links within a single page thus effectively requiring a person to
request state data for a document they already have stored in cache the first
time they hit your site.
By the way the "name" tag has been deprecated in favor of "id" for anchor tags
within a page so it won't validate against XHTML.
<a id="spellChecker"></a>
target= has also been restructured with the advent of XHTML.
The most annoying use of javascript on this page has to be the following code:
<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
if (window == top) top.location.href = "lyx_on_aqua.html";
-->
</script>
Forcing one to have to see the split view of frames.
I'd put this on your page since you ask for suggestions:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd";>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"; xml:lang="en">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<meta http-equiv="Content-Style-Type" content="text/css" />
Switch the Table code to DIVs and use CSS to duplicate the table layout
without the recursive overhead of table drawing.
