Re: [WSG] elasticity and floats
Hi Bob, I think it must be something odd about IE7. I've just tried your link in FF3 and Galeon on Linux, and FF3, IE8, Safari 4 and Opera 10 on Windows. In every case the border appears around the entire masthead, not just the third div. Lesley designer wrote: - Original Message - From: Chris F.A.

RE: [WSG] My Site
Hi there! I have experience building sites for blind people, but have absolutely no idea how a blind person builds a website. As for your website, the first thing I'd do is reduce the image of the mango because that's 3264 x 2448 pixels worth of mango and it's way too much. Secondly I'd try to get rid of all tables for the code. I don't know if you're using a program or you're coding by hand, but screen reader don't deal perfectly (and even less equally) with tables, so it'd be a great idea to try using XHTML and CSS for presentational purposes. And finally, colorwise, you should think of changing the links colors, because you have green over green and it doesn't validate the AAA WCAG2 specification. Other than that, it should be fine. Congrats, 'cause I can't believe I could do any of this without my vision.

I believe the problem with this is that the list-style-type is inherited (it's fine to place it on the UL/OL), so with that last rule you find both the text and the bullet are black. IIRC there's no easy way around this apart from using an image or a span, as you are already aware.
