It's more to do with usability than accessibility, as it affects all
users IMHO. But as a start, a logical directory structure is important,
so long as it's logical to the user not the owner.

Well, I agree and disagree.
I think "logical to the user not the owner" is spot in for the website
do people still use bookmarks?
For myself, only rarely. I recently read a post on a search engine list
(I-Search, very good if you're looking for something on the topic) where it
was suggested that people do not bookmark/remember URLs as often these days
because it's so straightforward to just go

Anyway what I am talking about includes all the little things that give a
site real "polish", things like:
- guessable/memorable URLs,
- site structure (logical connection of content),
- use of hyperlinks in the text,
- googlability or search engine friendliness
- tabbing between elements

I wouldn't classify this as off topic, it's all part of the web environment

I have heard it is possible to configure a webserver in a way that when
someone accesses a PDF/DOC (whatever file types have b
Why doesn't anyone push the barrow saying "Font sizes should be LARGE by
default, and designers should MAKE THE FONT SMALLER if/when they don't like
it." Why do we aim to please designers and expect users to make the
adjustments? I don't get it. But then, I skipped all the subjects on

Yep. This allows the "submitbuttons" class to be specified on any parent
element, not just a . On some pages you could use , on others
you could use , or you could use , etc.

The extra linebreak vanishes if you specify padding-bottom or border-bottom.
I've opted for border-bottom. It's not ideal but it works.

Anyone see any other problems?
Russ, I tried stripping out all the whitespace with no success.
Worth a shot tho!

Anyone have any thoughts on why IE6 keeps shoving in a linebreak in this
example?

It appears to put the line break in at each point where there is a nested
list (UL) being repositioned.

Great comments guys, certainly a few things to weigh up in my mind. I
especially like Peter's comments re coding to support future maintenance.
Thinking of the 80-20 rule, this makes perfect business sense and shows an
admirable example of considerate industry practice. Kudos! I will certainly

I would have thought the best way to target a browser (be it IE5 or other)
was content negotiation. Detect the browser and serve content in the
appropriate format. Does anyone else get the feeling this technique is
rarely used whilst cruder methods proliferate?
IMHO, web servers can do a lot more
Interesting comments on use of definition lists for forms.
I personally find using a "definition description" to contain a form control
a little odd. On the one hand it makes sense, the definition term provides a
label and the user supplies the description. On the other hand, shouldn't

I've not had time to review the script in question. But since the topic has
come up, I have a drop-down menu in development that might be useful, for
comparitive purposes if nothing else. I know there are still bugs with the
stylesheet to track down in various browsers.

I have seen a weird difference between 'em's and % in IE/Win. If you get the
browser "Text size" at medium they seem to work the same (e.g. 80% is 0.8em,
1.5em is 150% etc), but if you change the text size
