RE: [WSG] Site Check - amplify.com.au
Nice site, You never asked I know but . There's a few '&' in the code instead of '&' There some hacks causing your CSS to be invalid that I think anyway are not necessary. That 'Strategy' Volume graphic is just asking to be pressed, couldn't you be different and style Your Navigation around that graphic.

Hi Lachlan, Over at Apache Forrest, our next version of the Web Publishing
Framework is to be based around XHTML 2.0.
For this reason alone, I would like to quote to the members your message
Above. Can I do that ? If yes would you rather it be to a public or
Private list.
Thanks.

I'm pretty sure the Deflate you have needs capitalising also. SetOutputFilter DEFLATE Also, AddOutputFilterByType is deprecated in Apache 2.1. Try just AddOutputFilter instead if it will serve your needs. Apache Docs are your friend : http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#addoutputfilterbytype Best not ask any more Apache questions here I would have thought.

Thats the trouble with dotdots, move some files around and you need to change the depth of relatvity to the file(s). Personally in your case I would use the relative from root method. To link to an index.html page that is in root, all files however deeply nested need only use To link to index.html that has been moved to /marvinswebfiles/ then use Can not totally understand your folder convension as you have described it so maybe a touch of ascii art would help describe it. Anyway, try the above method.
