I really like the nice clean design and commmend you for your work. Like Steven I think that the calendar page could also benefit from being a table. Simple rule of thumb; if the page could easily fit with an Excel spreadsheet, it is a possible table candidate. When constructing the tables, re

I have never come across a designer who says "I'll throw the page together any way I can as a quick and dirty job". Mind you looking at some of the results from designers I'm sure that is what they have done. If you simply state that you "design using web standards as one of your fundamental build

Can anyone assist with a hack that is for Firefox only. I have found that bot IE6 and Opera 7.54 place the list-image outside the border area of the ul. Firefox however places the image inside the ul border. The hacks I have used  all affect both Firefox and Opera. Any suggestions please.
