RE: [WSG] New Project - Feedback Appreciated
In what way do you think that SPANs are better than DIVs? My understanding was that they were both entirely neutral, and at exactly the same level as each other, simply that one is a block by default, while the other is inline. Regards, Mike -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mike at Green-Beast.com My only comment is that I'd put your rounded corners in spans instead of divs. Seems like it'd be more semantic. Being they're just holding images and not really divisions.

If you look at the home page with images turned off you'll see that there's no site title -- the graphic logo disappears and you've positioned the text head (Geofeat - all things green, eco-friendly and organic) off-screen. This past year I've switched from using that technique to using this one: mark up the logo as a foreground image with its text equivalent in the alt: h1img src=/images/presentation/logo.gif alt=Geofeat - all things green, eco-friendly and organic //h1 The head will show up with or without images enabled as well as with or without CSS enabled. I routinely style all my chrome as background images so I really had to wrestle with this idea. It finally won me over for its accessibility and progressive enhancement. And it's easy to justify a site logo or corporate identity as a foreground image -- it's not merely decoration, it's a concrete graphic entity that represents the website owner.

[WSG] New Project - Feedback Appreciated
Hi all, We have recently unveiled a new project on all things green, eco-friendly and organic: http://geofeat.com/ I would really appreciate feedback on issues related to standards, usability and accessibility. This is an ongoing project, and there are a number of things I have yet to implement (such as page specific css validation links - in footer). If you see any glaring mistakes, even small ones, or have general suggestions for improvement please let me know. For those who have the time, I would also really appreciate your comments on how you enjoyed using the site etc (perhaps you could email me offlist). Many thanks Sarah :) -- XERT Communications email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] mobile: 0438 017 416 http://www.xert.com.au/ web development : digital imaging : dvd production *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ***
Re: [WSG] New Project - Feedback Appreciated
I think it looks great! Just a couple of things I noticed: 1. Your ordered lists could do with the text being indented rather than wrapping under the number. 2. Your directory top 10 links don't change bg-color when they receive :focus 3. Your main nav links don't change on :focus like they do on :hover although I know this can be tricky to accomplish sometimes.

Re: [WSG] New Project - Feedback Appreciated

Sarah :) Quick look in XP, Sarah. Doing well in Opera/9.1, Firefox/2.0.0.2, and IE7.0. And for a welcome and quaint touch, I did not have to ignore your font-sizes to scale them in IE :-) . IE6.0 and 5.5 looked fine. A little broken and dropping the floats, but fixable in 5.01 (if you care). Feeding IE6 and down your favorite min/max work around might be advantageous. My first impression was that the home page, and the site proper, was not finished. The blue (or whatever color it is) link color is a bit raw and looks unstyled compared with the rest of the page. The batch of many links under Find a Product might be better set flush left-- same for the similar type links in the inside pages. Going to the inside pages themselves was no problem. Finding the tiny home link in order to go back was a little hard (for me) the first time. I have a little difficulty with pages whose main content (in Lynx) is preceded by many links. But maybe all those links are your main content? Either way, I think the site is quite nice.
