Re: [css-d] Site check please IE9/10

2013-09-11 Thread Albert van der Veen
Thanks for the feedback, had it fixed. Turned out to be a problem with 
closing a button tag. I closed it like this:


button type=submit title=Search class=searchbutton /

which completely(!) messed up the page.

Now it's closed this way button type=submit title=Search 
class=searchbutton /button and everything's fine :)


I'm aware of the validation errors, there's a div that's not closed. But 
that's an error in the Magento code rendering the banner block on the 
right - have to track that down.


Best,
Albert

Why are you asking for and IE9 and IE10 site check when the default mode 
is IE9 standards mode?


Since the page Doctype is XHTML 1.0 Strict (being serve as text/html), 
you can only use the ' /' closing on empty element [1]. button is not 
one of them.

2013-09-04 Thread Eric
David,

I really don't see how the three HTML errors would case his problem. And, you
might want to check the CSS before running a validation. He's using CSS3 that
validation does not appear to have been run under CSS3 but rather CSS2.1 making
the error irrelevant. And, even if they were the only time I've run into
problems like he describes they had to do with overlapping elements and the use
of z-index, which validation won't find.

 Can you please view this website and give me your comments?
 Especially from technical point of view.
 Any quirks or strange behaviour or whatever?
 
 I hope i will get an overview of how this site works/acts on different 
 browsers and platforms.
 
 http://beta.sterrenhofje.nl

If you wish to allow users with bigger font sizes to read the information on 
your site, and if you wish to target your site for other platforms other then a 
specific standard view, I will start thinking about digging into the world of 
fluid css design.
I'm a beginner myself on those matters, but I believe that, according the your 
goals, that's the way your site, technically speaking, should go.

 
 Thank you, Erik Visser

Cheers,

The pages in the site seem to perform as expected in a Windows notebook in
the current versions of Safari, Chrome, Opera, FF, IE/9, and IE/8. If of
any concern there are some hasLayout issues with the navigation block in
IE 6/7.

Re: [css-d] Site check please

2009-11-08 Thread Theresa Mesa
That's why Safari is giving you the missing image icon. The image your  
code is calling is missing, because it's not on the server. ;-)

Which version of IE are you having the header issue with? To be  
honest, my attempts at making stuff work on IE are all hail Mary  
passes, but I'm learning. I'm thankful IE7 and 8 pretty much behave.

OTOH, first of all, your site is XHTML Transitional. You should get  
out of the habit of doing your tags (in your CSS) in caps.

I'm thinking your problem would be with how IE handles the box model,  
especially earlier versions of IE. Someone more studied than me is  
going to need to figure it out. All I know is the things look really  
tight in there looking at it through the FF Web Developer toolbar CSS  
menu (View Styles), and your h2 and p edges are so wide, they're going  
under your red box. IE may not be handling it the way you want it to.

I'm reposting the link to your site here so others can maybe help.

I assume the issue are talking about is in XP IE/6.0 and IE/7.0, and 
that the specific issue in those two IE browsers is the slightly larger 
horizontal gutter under h2 and the list beneath it. And that IE/8.0 is 
rendering it as you intend.

If so, #navlist is your target selector and this change brings IE/6.0 
and IE/7.0 on-board:

#navlist
{
margin-left: 0; :: delete ::
margin:0;-- :: add ::
padding-left: 0;
list-style: none;
}

In Safari 3 (Mac) and Firefox 3 (Mac), if the browser window is
narrower than 797px, the left sidebar vanishes.

In IE 6, you run into some scary overlapping issues as the window

Think of the text-block as a piece of fine tapestry. Squint your eyes at 
it. You'll see the rivers cascading down the tapestry. Scale the fonts 
and it will be even more obvious.  The correction is to set the text and 
headings flush-left (text-align: left;).

For a lot of reasons, reply to the list, and bottom post.

OK. You ditched the rivers. This is good.

Your page proper still has issues. Opera/10b and Safari/4 drop the 
right-column float on a drag to a narrower window. IE/7 still rendering 
the left-column crossing over the center column on drag. IE/6 does not 
support min or max width: consequently, the  columns are rail rail; and, 
additionally, the left column is clipped on the left.

Wait. Do not change anything. Hitting a moving target is difficult. I'll 
be back.

This star html hack will set the fixed width for IE/6. Leave it in the 
CSS file. Or, if you prefer, put it in an IE/6 conditional comment. It 
will work either way.
* html div#side {width:990px;} /* for IE/6 */

The division ( .manchet ) in the right column that has the float right 
images needs to be cleared for IE/6. Add this to the style sheet to do 
that (this will not adversely effect other browsers, so no need to put 
it in a CC):

.manchet:after
{
content: '.';
display: block;
height: 0;
clear: both;
visibility: hidden;
}
.manchet {
display: inline-block;
}


 About the icons, They don't matter, but if they _could_ be shown 
   


IE/6 does not support this css selector:
a[href^=mailto:;]  {background-image:url(email000.png);}
IE/8, and IE/7, do support it and show your icons.
If it is necessary to have those two icons in IE/6 you'll need to feed 
them to it with a simple selector. Seems more trouble than it is worth 
(to me) for a browsers that is on death row. But it is your call...

Re: [css-d] site check please?

Hi Chris

Actually, as Bill points out, stop the presses is correct in this  
sense. It refers to when a late breaking important news story would  
come in to a newspaper after the edition was already on the printing  
press. They'd stop the printing presses to update.

The image at the bottom is just a plain old transparent gif with a  
black mask. I'm not wild about how the mask shows over a light  
background, but no mask leaves jaggedy edges on the hands. It's a  
tradeoff.

As for the menu titles, I know the common wisdom is to make them  
straightforward, but since this is a site for a comic musician and  
supposed to be fun I thought it would be all right to play. The pages  
are light and few, so it's hard to get too lost. If many people  
disagree, I might reconsider.

Thanks!

Thanks everyone for your feedback. There is one page on the site that  
is broken in FF: http://evamoon.net/sl/index.html

When I validate the HTML, it tells me there's a /div missing:

#  Error  Line 87, Column 7: end tag for div omitted, but OMITTAG NO  
was specified

/body

You may have neglected to close an element, or perhaps you meant to  
self-close an element, that is, ending it with / instead of .
# Info Line 42: start tag was here

 div id=wrapper

But the page uses the exact same template as the other pages, though  
it's the only one that's in a subdirectory. All the code looks the  
same and the divs match up - I went through the template line by line  
and matched them up.

There are some validation errors due to the iframe, but the iframe is  
not causing the problem. The page is broken without it and I've used  
the same iframe on another site page with no problem.

I'm missing something! Help please!

Thank you,

Jody

The way around this is to save the file as an alpha transparent png.  
This would allow antialiasing of the arms so that they look right over  
any coloured background. You probably know that alpha pngs aren't  
supported in IE6 but there are a number of techniques for forcing it

As I normally do, I looked at it first in my routine browsing browser, with
practical font size default, minimum size enforced, user stylesheets, and no
Flash. I rather like it there. It's one of those rare sites that is not
over-styled via classes and ids, with the result that a generic user
stylesheet can undo most designer's CSS damage.

The most noticeable thing my defenses failed to do was widen enough that the
last link in the nav row doesn't spill onto a new line. Also they failed to
zoom the H2 text to a legible size. All the rest of the text not embedded in
an image, as a consequence of my defenses, is nicely sized to my needs.

I generally don't like light on dark color schemes, but this one is an
exception. :-)

 - In Safari, the logo on the right doesn't show (it does in Firefox   
 IE)
   
This one ?

background-image:url(file:///Terminator/Users/badoyn/Desktop/Projects/Simmons%20Design/Meeks%20Site%20v2/website/images/mdg_logo_topright.gif);

The path should be something like that

background-image:url(images/mdg_logo_topright.gif);

I guess you have included this image with a soft like Dreamweaver and 
you forgot to give a relative path

 - I've put the large type (our firm) at then end and using positioning  
 tried to make it place over the photo. Good to an extent. In Firefox  
 it seems to be positioned correctly, but in Safari/IE, it's closer to  
 the bottom of the image. Also, there seems to be a large space under  
 the photo I can't seem to understand why. It happened when I started  
 to position the large type.
   
In Opera your text wraps in 2 lines. Try  something like this

#container #imageArea .largeText {
color:#FF;
display:block;
font-family:Helvetica,Verdana,Arial,sans-serif;
font-size:128px;
font-weight:bold;
float: right;
position:relative;
top:-120px;
}

 Subject: [css-d] Site check please...
 
 I'm fleshing out a new site. I thought I'm doing this is as simple a
 manner as possible to not induce any anomalies, but I'm having some
 issues.

 - I'm sure there is more that you all will point out, and I appreciate
 it.
 
 Go to: http://ba-doyn.com/junk/meeks_test/

Looks the same in Safari as in Firefox (Vista) to me.

I don't see any logo at all. Large print is at bottom of image in both
browsers.
You might also fix your html (mainly mistyping of Javascript stuff)

On all four pages in XP IE/7 and IE/6 there is a sliver of white showing 
in the top border.

Aside:
A text block on top of an image (that becomes unrecognizable because of 
it) and that is less deep than the text-block is sometimes pulled-off 
in high end, and avant-garde, print media circles.  I don't think it's 
quite appropriate for your clients site (it just creates the illusion 
the page is broken, even though it is not).

The height issue is definitely fixed in IE6.

The entity issue is only an issue in the address line, but is not an
issue in the times that the restaurant is open, yet uses some of the
same bullets.  Can you use the same coding for the bullets in the
address line that you use in the times that the restaurant is open
line?

Hi Peter,
I clicked through the links on your site and found a malformed tag at  
the bottom of the page in the menu section.
http://www.fatpawdesign.com/CedarLakeInn/CLIfoodmenu.html
It says clearboth at the bottom of the page. Thought you might want

The height attribute in IE6 are not displaying correctly,  The image
on the homepage is 1/2 high and the first line of address is cut so
only the bottom half shows.
It could be because IE6 doesn't recognize min-height.

 /snip a bunch of other implemented code/

Thanks to everyone for the site check. I knew I was in trouble this morning 
when I checked the site at work on Win2K/IE6. Uggh. Hence, I have made the 
recommended changes and revalidated the lot. Avant was showing the 
decapitated text last night, the line-height fix resolves that. Also, I'm 
not killing anything at +/-2 page and +/-2 text zoom in FF3.0.3 (sounds like 
I am using a Lee-Enfield). A few further issues/questions/comments:

1. In Avant, I am getting a large gap between the #bottomnav and the 
#footer, like the large top-margin of the nav is being applied to the footer 
as well.
2. For my edification, does the border: solid 1px fuchsia; in the * html 
bottomnav declaration actually force something into position, or is it just 
a marker? It is not visible in any of my browsers.
3. My WinXP/IE8 nor Win2K/IE6 do not render the *there4;* (or *#8756;*) 
character entity. I ran across an article by Jukka Korpela that seems to 
confirm this issue with math entities (among others). Any suggestions 
besides picking one that works or using an image in its place?
4. Regarding the non-working links on the banquet page; yes, I knew those 
were dead. I have to convert an extensive written food menu and booking 
contract into something web post-able.

Thanks again, and bottom posting as always,

1/ Dunno. Clear the cache? No got Avant here.  I do not see the large gap
you mention in any of my XP or Mac OS X 10.4.11 browsers.

2/ * html (star html) preceding a selector is a hack to feed a specific rule
to IE/6 and down; consequently, the border will only be seen if you are
viewing the page in IE/6, IE/5.5, or IE5.01. The purpose of the border (a
background color could have been used instead) is to see if the correct
selector has been targeted and that its position has in fact been corrected
in IE/6, IE/5.5, or IE5.01. The border can then be deleted.

3/ Might be easier for patrons of the restaurant to read if you spell that
stuff out line for line-- no (flaky, personal opinion) character entities
needed? Something like...

IE6 doesn't support transparent borders, so there are borders on 
.rightcolcontainer li a. Better remove those and compensate with the

 All: Thanks for the look-see and feed-back.

 Georg: I think I have the transparent borders issue fixed. Would you 
 please make another quick check?

Borders ok. IE6 need a little bit more help though.

1: There's the extra white-space spacing between list-items in the
right-hand navigation. To fix without negative side-effects, add a very
precise 'hasLayout' trigger to anchor...

* html .rightcolcontainer li a  {width: 92%;}


2: #viewcart doesn't shrinkwrap so the button ends up on left side in a
full-width #viewcart container, and the margin-doubling on floats bug
is also bugging IE6. To fix, add...

* html #viewcart {width: 150px; display: inline;}


That's it. Don't think I have missed any IE6 or IE7 bugs in there :-)

Re: [css-d] Site Check please (IE6 ideally)

2008-06-30 Thread Susan Grossman


 Just done some footer work on this page and want to know if the page
 is rendering without flaws in most peoples browsers.
 http://cedd.raez.net/cedd.html



It does not render correctly in IE6 - the Gray areas (designed by and
other) one floats all the way to the left and the other all the way to the
right - so they aren't contained in your footer div.  The remainder of the
footer then shows in a division underneath these splitting divs.   This
also pushes the page to wide at resolutions under1200.

I haven't figured out the fix for it though I'm still fiddling.

 Heya all,

 without flaws in most peoples browsers. http://cedd.raez.net/cedd.html

 I've ran it through all the modern browsers on my work Mac and if anyone 
 ideally could
 put it through its paces on IE6 that would be very very appreciated. I need 
 to know if
 the page scales correctly with decreasing window widths and font size changes.

 It's also using a new IEpngfix which was causing a minor rendering issue in 
 IE6 earlier
 which I'm thinking may have gone. The right border should be even from the 
 top of the
 page to the bottom.


The footer, all pages, has problems with alignment and a large gap
above it, especially at other than medium text size.

On a wide window, the right-hand column expands and the content
displays flush right. Not a show-stopper though.

A non-CSS issue: I went to the Contact page then used the link
to Researchers that's in the first paragraph. While the link worked,
I then got a dozen alerts, all saying IEPNGFix: Children of positioned
element are unclickable: DIV.

I am using an IE standalone version of IE6 (not a good test of
PNG transparency) and have the DebugBar installed -- the alert
*may* be coming from that.

Cordially,
David

For a lot of reasons, it is a good idea to reply to the list.

/M/y /personal opinion/ is to set font-size 100 percent (default) on the

style sheet thereafter; and,  not declaring a font-size on the primary 
content p (in other words, the primary content inherits font-size 100

Is the blue block offset 24px on the left intentional? Some folks may 
have trouble with the tiny frozen fonts in IE. And not everyone will

IE/6 will probably be a market contender for sometime to come. It may be

 Also in Mozilla on Linux. I originally thought it was UTF-8 chars in a

It is not very user friendly to feed frozen fonts to the world's most

Everything works for me in Windows IE6 and Firefox. Only thing - when I resize

I was unable to connect to David's page, but found a lot of very useful
information on Georg's write-up at the above link.

Sadly, Georg's solution for sizing in EMs does not work on my
computer. The calculations are based on the usual screen resolution
of 96 DPI, where IE computes 12 points at 16 pixels. My laptop comes
set to 120 DPI, and IE computes 12 points at 20 pixels here.

I was able to come up with a hybrid JavaScript solution based on Georg's
work, but the IE 'expressions' slow down IE too much for my liking.
In the end, I went with a fixed width for IE 5 and 6.  :-(

Yes, you're absolutely right.  I hadn't realised I'd done that.  Must

One way of doing some of that stuff is to set min/max width and shove the menu 
to the left. A work around for min/max for IE/6 is needed (6 does not support 
min/max). This will avoid the h-scroll bar. The menu will not wrap, except with 
heavy-hand font-scaling, and in a window less than 800. And the line-measure 
will be more appropriate, even at upper resolutions.

Re: [css-d] Site Check please

Ysgrifennodd David Laakso: 
 re: http://www.sarahbutler.org.uk/index.html


 One way of doing some of that stuff is to set min/max width and shove 
 the menu to the left. A work around for min/max for IE/6 is needed (6 
 does not support min/max). This will avoid the h-scroll bar. The menu 
 will not wrap, except with heavy-hand font-scaling, and in a window 
 less than 800. And the line-measure will be more appropriate, even at 
 upper resolutions.

 Please see:

Thanks David.  I persuaded my client to at least look at the menu over 
to the left.  So I think I'll wait and see how that turns out before 
trying anything else.

I don't want to spend too much time on IE6 workarounds, so if she goes 
with the left justified menu and that deals with some of the IE6 
problems I might leave it at that.  It's not as if it's unusable.

Cheers


Peter

 No major issues that I could see in compliant browsers, or IE/6  IE/7. The
 footer apron (white on black w/ magenta stuff) brakes a little early with
 font scaling, but not a dig deal. I  prefer the home and contact pages-- the
 black body background-color is a little much on the other pages. There are a
 few CSS  markup errors to correct. As for myself, I am too old and too
 tired to linger long on any site whose author messes with my preference for
 font-size.

 Seems to be working alright cross-browser except for a minor issue in IE/6 
 where the vertical rules are filling all the way up.

 Tweak both to -3 or -2px and test:

 * html #leftsidebar {
margin-right: -10px;
 }

 * html #side2  {
margin-left:-10px;
 }


05/23/2008

David:

Thanks. I set the margins to -2px; and I still lose part of the vertical 
rules in WIN2K/IE6 at work, although the floats stay in place. I have 
changed them to -1px. Would you please take a quick look and let me know if 
'that' has resolved the issue. Otherwise I will cut the width on the center 
column by a few px to see if that works.

I know the font size is a problem. Will tweak around a bit to see what I can 
improve. The fixed width 3-column layout cures some ills, causes others .. 
like this! What do you think about 3 equal width columns?

Best,

Peter

In XP IE/6 (standalone) you are dropping both the left and right 
column.  We' ll both need to hear from someone with native IE/6 boxes on 
win/2k and win/xp for a proper cross operating system fix in IE/6.0.

thank you for this.  In my headlong fall toward slumber I also

pages as well.  I'll be rectifying this later today, along with the  
three css errors.

Also, thank you for the heads up on the font sizing (esp. with  
'mothership').  I am guilty of forgetting from time to time to run  
the +2/-2 font size test (at a minimum) and this was one of those.

center it vertically:
#topBreak {

Trivial pursuits:

1/ Never write site check for a subject line without validating the

2/ To this selector:
.container {background-color:#fff; /*add*/}
3/ Remember, not to forget, that the vast majority of your users will be

that browser.
4/ All things considered-- nice work!

Thanks. I'm using a PNG file in the background and had
a .htc file call in the HTML which I removed, so now
the transparency doesn't show in IE6 - the .htc file
was causing it not to layout right. I will resort to
using a different image file format for the reasons
mentioned as well as the fact, the part of the
challenge with the Zen Garden project is not two touch
the HTML. Thanks for checking though!

You can either change the width of your div#divButtons to approximately

 Don't mind the CSS or layout. I know it needs a lot of work, and

 projects to add onto the site. Frankly, it's been patched together by
 numerous rush jobs.

 Anyway, I'm getting a single complaint about there being some weird line
 at
 the bottom. Now, I know in Firefox on widescreen monitors (it seems) the
 background somehow stops and shows the color below the image. I think it
 might just be my computer and add-ons.

 What I'm just hoping for is that the background looks like it's fading

You have a selector li:hover in your CSS. IE before version 7 only applies
:hover to 'A' elements. You'll need a scripting solution[1] to get your
flyout menu to work.

The menu layout looks the same in IE 6 as in IE 7 to me. The menu
background is shifted right in IE 5.5, and the content is not centered.

BTW - the menu does not look too good in IE 7 this end. I have large
fonts installed-- a common setting for 1400 x 1050 laptops. Set your
text size to larger in your IE browser to see the effect.

Bill,

The menu items don't change background color in IE6. The text color does
change. Also, the pop-out for 'Tour Itineraries' is not popping out in IE6.
Not sure of the cause, however.

Re: [css-d] Site check please

2008-02-07 Thread Bill Stemp
Since building the site, I've upgraded my IE from 6 to 7. I now have to 
use 'multipleIEs' 
(http://www.positioniseverything.net/articles/multiIE.html) to check in 
previous versions. When the site was first uploaded, it worked fine in 
IE6 (with the exception of the orange menu background being a few pixels 
below where it should be), but now I'm getting these reports that there 
is no 'flyout' of the menu in IE6. I also found the same using my 
standalone IE6 but thought this was just one of those things that 
doesn't work 100% using these 'standalone' versions.
If anyone has not upgraded to IE7 and is using IE6 as their primary IE 
browser, I'd be very interested to know if the menu does in fact 
'flyout' or not.

You may want check you pages in IE/6, IE/7, and the Gecko's at 800 with 
and without a little font-scaling.

On a nothing to do with CSS, does it make a difference, or who cares, 
aside: If you are seeking /an opinion/, mine is that this information:

Skip to content
  Search:  Search

main menu

* About Us
* Contact
* Presentations
* Publications
* Resources
* Services

should appear on the screen as you have it, but be called from beneath 
the primary content and above the footer. And that Go to top (in the 
footer) is not necessary or needed.

 www.bildasfriesslakepub.com

 Would appreciate a look-see in Opera (I'm in O9.24), as the nav bar 
 anchors aren't working right and occasionally disappear all together 
 on scrolling. Which bug and how to fix?

An old instability in Opera when trying to interpret the W3C collapsing
margins bug[1] on a parent that doesn't contain its children. The
margin ends up reversed now and then, and pushes the ul below the
#nav-container.
Opera 9.5beta does seem to have a more stable interpretation of that
particular combination.

To cure, add...

#nav ul{margin-bottom: 0;}

...which removes all confusion in all browsers, and doesn't disturb any
of them.

 Also a check in IE6 to make sure my green box in the left col isn't 
 triggering the Peek-a-boo bug.

Looks stable enough.

 Finally in IE, I'm getting extra vertical space above the main col 
 (vertical border should touch nav bat above it) and in the footer 
 above and below the content. Not a killer but would appreciate 
 suggestions on how to eliminate it. Add 'has-layout' doesn't do it 
 and causes other problems, since fixed.

Another browser's interpretation of the  standardized W3C collapsing
margins bug, on another element-combination.

Easiest way to cure it is to replace margin-bottom with padding-bottom
on the last element where collapsing margins is an issue for IE/win...

#header h4 {margin-bottom: 0; padding-bottom: 10px;}

 http://www.bildasfriesslakepub.com/menu.html

 Would appreciate a look-see in IE, especially IE6 to make sure the 
 right column content is appearing.

It appears, but stays below the left column. IE6 doesn't respect
declared dimensions, and is auto-expanding the column - making it too
wide for the reserved space.

To fix,add...

* html #rightcol {overflow-x: hidden;}


The last minor imperfection I can see in IE6 is a gap or overlap at the
bottom  of maincol - either not reaching down to footer or overlapping
it. IE6 behaves as if it's another collapsing margins interpretation
issue, and a fix for that standardized bug seems to cure it...

* html #maincol {padding-bottom: 1px;}

-

To put all additions and correction together in one place:

#nav ul{margin-bottom: 0;}
#header h4 {margin-bottom: 0; padding-bottom: 10px;}
* html #rightcol {overflow-x: hidden;}
* html #maincol {padding-bottom: 1px;}



regards
Georg


PS: of course collapsing margins isn't a bug, but W3C has kept on
adding details to the descriptions for a long time on how browsers shall
interpret and apply it for different combinations. Thus, different
browsers and browser-versions may have slightly different
interpretations of it, for the simple reason that descriptions were
missing at the time their CSS-engines were updated on those points.

Yes, that _should_ automatically take it back to default - static, and

 A common structural layout test is to see how a well a page can hold 
 with a little stress. At +2 font-scaling -- when testing all pages -- 
 for example, the structure is too brittle-- things overlap, and shoot 
 out the bottom of containers. So it is not so much you have difficulty 
 with floats, but rather with an over abundant use of absolute 
 positioning and setting of height restraints. Setting overflow: 
 scroll; on #main may be a partial way around some of this this.

 /But in my personal opinion/, I really think it may be worth 
 considering getting rid of the absolute positioning, and height 
 settings, using margin: 0 auto to center the page; and, just let the 
 content determine the height of each page.

 Either way, the first thing most people do on this list is to see if 
 the CSS and markup are valid...

 ~dL

 http://www.nwaworldvacations.com

 We tried to do a better job of CSS and moved into a more Web 2.0 
 vibe, at least that is what we were trying for.  I am sure many will 
 lament our use of tables still, but some habits die hard.  I am 
 curious to learn how we might have done a better job with our CSS, 
 i.e. better use of IDs or Classes, less nested, more nested...

Those pages don't work well with resized fonts in any browser, and
absolute font-sizes don't make it better since one has to 'ignore font
size in page' in IE/win in order to resize.

The table layout don't work too well if one wants a printout either, so
different styles for different media - and a lot of testing, seems
necessary.

Pages have quite a large file-size when one looks at the amount of
content it carries, and attempts to slim down the source code should be
made.

The use of paragraphs with non-breaking spaces as layout-spacers
equals the use of old spacer-gifs, and should be avoided. Use margins
and/or paddings instead.

The verisign at the bottom doesn't seem to work as intended outside
IE/win.

The use of inline styles should be discontinued once you've added a
stylesheet, as inline styles tend to make debugging and general
maintenance harder and more time-consuming. If page-specific styles are
needed, it is usually better to group those in a style-element in the
page-head.


The usability of such a site may be evaluated to a high degree by
running it through a text-only browser like Lynx...

http://www.delorie.com/web/lynxview.html
http://lynx.isc.org/

That's the basic level a well-built site should be able to work at no
matter what, so testing your site in Lynx will give you a good sense of
what works and what doesn't.
