First stripping out margins padding from nearly everything is quite common
practice. Look up reset style sheets from YUI or Eric Meyers example (also
included with blue print framework). It would be good for anybody new to
using CSS to immediately get to grips with an initial CSS reset

I would recommend that you use target=_new and then use XHTML transitional

I believe the solution Mike came up with to be a sound one. However maybe
you should step back and think why this should be a web page at all. You
are facing the great problem of trying to make the screen look like print.
Something which drives most of us up the wall at some point.

I contacted the Firefox development team prior to release 2 and suggested
exactly what you have suggested, i.e. give the users an obvious prompt to
re-size text i.e. in the default browser menu. It saves on both the users

I understand your comments, however I think it would be very difficult for
governments other high volume publishers to remove the need for PDFs. Where
an audience must be reached by a variety of channels by both web and printed
media, it would be sensless to have to produce multiple sets
I would argue the case that it may be sensible to open a new window for
PDF's. There was sufficient evidence for a UK government department I have
worked extensively with, to include this as a standard. The rationale
behind this is simply that once presented with a PDF the user has the

Your problem is going to be to get what are deemed good academic sources.
As you will already know academic publications and conference papers will
carry greater weight than books, especially those not peer reviewed and
published as an academic work.

Just set your doctype to transitional then all will be fine with validation
using target. For your own peace of mind, you know your pages are
otherwise strict, why crucifty yourself over a tiny problem?
Life is too short. Your pages are no less clean or valid because of a

If this is Internet and not in intranet, I suggest that you design for the
real customers; that is people who visit the site and not those who own it.
If this user group are still for some strange reason, bound by running
windows 3.1 etc.. do it the old way, take the money and don't put it

If it's a fluid design, surely height and width are inextricably linked.
As the width narrows, the height increases. From your description, maybe
your client seems to be lacking in web content, which cannot be cured by
means of design alone. If they're obsessed with having so few words,
Lyn
Unless this is an Intranet application, the screen resolution that your
client uses is totally immaterial. It is the screen res, used by the users
of the site you need to worry about. I recognise that fluid designs aren't
always the answer, IE not obeying max-width etc... means that line

Having seen it, doesn't look too (hmm..) bad at 1280 x 1024 full screen.
What else could expected with so little front page content
I would be tempted to maybe centre the content by menas of giving the whole
lot 15% margin left and right, upping the size of the text, and adding more
words.
I am a great believer in the correct application of semantics myself. I
would recommend either address tag set or maybe a micro format. Although
the number of text analytical tools which recognise micro formats may be
small, I am uncertain whether or not address is recognised by anything,
Stay away from Strong. Strong is presentational, same as B, and I.

should be in HTML and content in HTML.
use span class=important for text that needs to be emphasised.
I would argue to the contrary. Strong has much more meaning than a span
class. The word /tag itself implies
More precisely, the use of id and class can only add semantic value to
developers or to those who have to maintain the site. They have no bearing
on real world semantics in terms of benefit derived by end users and page
retrieval via search engines. To that end they are semantically neutral

I don't see this as being a definition list. 39 does not define Chapter 1,
it is an indicator of where to find chapter 1. It is arguably a table, as in

Using tabular form should be the first choice; where you have what is
