Semantically, I would say: "No, its not"
This would be due to the point about indexicality I mentioned.
Let me put it another way:

agree that a company logo is page content (that warrants a presence in the
HTML) in the true sense:
a logo is essentially 'indexical': it depends for its meaning upon some
other entity (the company) and the context within whic

1 html list (no excessively long, non-accessible navigation lists at top of
page) + dhtml submenus.
Without Javascript, you just get the top list. Appearance controlled by CSS.

Hi - I'm looking for a good (i.e. standards-compliant) piece of software for
generating/administering "reader polls". I was wondering whether anyone out
there has had any particularly good or bad experiences that they would be
prepared to share, so I know where to look and where to avoid!

On a quick inspection of the code, it looks great!
Congratulations. Far and away the best jobs site I've seen, from
a standards point of view.
One point: I noticed that a number of the form element

appropriate input.

Hi Adam,
Because floated elements are effectively removed from the flow of the
document, Firefox and Opera are (quite correctly) collapsing the height of
the containing div: it will only expand to the height of any non-flated
elements it contains.
Ironically enough, the solution to this is to use
unfortunately (from the developer's perspective), it's all
about spin and word-usage - which many techies tend not to be very good
at.
Between developers, web standards and accessibility can be
called exactly that. However, with clients (or non-technical personnel),
their eyes glaze over a
In both Mozilla and Opera, I found that what was crucial
was that the server (Apache, in this instance) was configured to deliver the
file as application/xhtml+xml (+ being well formed, of course). Merely setting
this in the document head was not sufficient. Thus, tidying up the code and

This is a very interesting topic. As someone who has to write CSS for others
(both colleagues in the development team and others who know very little
about CSS), I have started to adopt a pseudo-"object-oriented" approach to
writing stylesheets.
First, I split the pages I have to code into smaller
