Hello Lea,
I note that you used incorrect syntax for your CSS declarations - ending
declarations with ':' rather than ';'. I assume this is just a typo in this
message, rather than the potential source of the problems you had, since in
a CSS file it would generally cause the declaration to fail.
Well, for the URL design bit, I wrote a page about it a while ago, and
this is the condensed version.
Aside from URLs I think there's a convention that clicking on the logo
of a site goes to the homepage. And it's popular to use an accesskey of
? to go to the search engine. Nothing else comes to
Hi Debra
Overall, a nice design, just one point. In IE6 win xp, the background
image/floorplan in the content area moves when switching between high
contrast/low contrast. I haven't looked into why, no time right now, but
when this has happened to me it's been a background positioning issue.
Title: RE: [WSG] Table content displayed as a list
I'd say that if it's a list, then format it as a list as using CSS to bastardise your document seems to defeat the object. If it's dynamic, can you not just output the data into a list instead?

First off, let me say that yes, I'm using a single table for the layout
of this project (my client insists upon it, since he doesn't trust CSS
layout yet...go figure).
I'm having a bit of a mind lapse, I think, because I can't get the
background image to span the table rows.
Here's the XHTML:
Thanks for all the feedback. I will get to work removing the pop-up

Thanks for the reply, Bert. Yes, the image is tall enough to do what I

I just noticed that on Zeldman's website his CSS is imported like this:
style type=text/css media=all@import /c/c04.css;/style
which I don't think I've ever seen before. I normally see

is there some hack being invoked here, or is it just a matter of style?
There are a wide range of variations. Each variation will allow you to
target different browsers. Here are some:
@import url(styles.css) not all;
@import url(styles.css) all;
@import url(styles.css) All;
@import null?\\{;
@import styles.css;
