Hi all,
Long time member, very few posts, but have enjoyed reading all of yours, and am grateful for all the insights. Thanks also to Russ for his presentations which have got me out of numerous sticky situations!
I would appreciate feedback on the following (personal) site:
http://www.bureke.com.au/ (temporary address)
The main CSS page is at:
http://www.bureke.com.au/styles/global.css
The site is valid XHTML 1.0 and CSS.
There are a few quirks with WIN IE 5.0 and 6. (I have checked on Safari 1.2.2, Netscape 7.1, IE 5.2, Opera 7.5, Firefox 0.8 - all MAC versions).
My queries are:
1. Is there a work around to prevent the left hand navigation from indenting in WIN IE 5.0 (I want to retain the border-bottom, but I think this is why the browser shows the links indented) ? I notice Eric Meyer's example
( http://css.maxdesign.com.au/listamatic/vertical06.htm also has the same quirk in IE 5.0).
2. The first H3 tag on some pages in IE 5.0 does not show any top padding (ref #content .boxcont) - eg http://www.bureke.com.au/astrology - heading "Astro Verses". Can't work out why. Have tried to apply top margin/padding, but no luck.
3. On most pages (same page reference as 2. above) I have an image at the bottom which is either 422 or 348 px wide. It appears to be causing IE to create a break just above it. When I reduce the width of the image, the problem appears to go away. I don't understand why the images are too wide. Is there some explanation for this?
4. In IE 5.0 the bottom of #content does not continue to the footer. Any ideas?
5. In both IE 5.0 and 6 the position of the background image (right hand column) appears to be too narrow (ie left hand margin shows the white background through) - any ideas?
If someone can also check on WIN IE 5.5 and/or any other WIN browsers ???
Any other suggestions for improvements in layout, style sheet formatting, usability etc, would be gratefully received. I would like the site to also be more accessible - not a great strength of mine, any help here also appreciated.
Thanks, Sarah
