I guess I’m learning something about design after all!    I looked at that e-booking site and decided it looks frankly .. ‘old fashioned’ in web terms.  Meaning it’s looking SOOOO 2001 now.  I have a friend in the games business, and I looked at his site yesterday and it looked very 1990s to me.   Old fashioned and ‘been there, done that’.  (I didn’t tell him though – he’s a very good friend and very proud of it).

 

So perhaps I’m picking up some design stuff after all.  A few years ago someone could have said a site was old fashioned and unless it was pure text I’d have been completely perplexed.

 

But of course that is an important aspect of what we’re doing here.   When we figure an accessible/css site is old fashioned, it’s a simple matter of crafting another set of style sheets and load them up.  No need to touch any of the logic, database access, login/authentication stuff,  just redo the presentation stuff.     (Yes, I know a site redesign is frequently no trivial task but I’m sure you get my point).

 

 

As far as this particular site goes,  if ebooking.com.au had simply validated his code on each page, it would have probably run fine in all browsers.

I know this is OT.
But I have had it up to here (**motions towards my ceiling**) with websites that dont even load in other browsers...

I just send www.ebooking.com.au a very vivid email about how their website is TERRIBLY INACCESSIBLE...

Try and load it in any other browser than IE...
AFAIK - It wont load in:
    FireFox... (I assume Mozilla too then!)
    Safari...

Just a little OT rant...
No need to reply to the list.
Send whatever hate URLS you have to my inbox...
