[WSG] AEC site web standards compliant

Re: [WSG] AEC site web standards compliant
must admit its good to see the move! The Standard compliance I mean. Code semantics is not the best H1 class=mainheadingspan id=labelElectionTitle2004 Federal Election /span Facts amp; Figures/H1 still I would say its a positive move.

Re: [WSG] AEC site web standards compliant
It is a good start, especially using unordered lists for the menus at the side But some of the things like summary=layout aren't too clever... and it isn't valid HTML 4.01 transiltional, fails on one point... TD width=99% background=Images/logospacer.gifnbsp;/TD Still got spacer gif... Agreed about the semantics, I don't see what the span is trying to achieve but at least it's a start.
