Anthony, Do not get discouraged. Designing semantically correct, accessible, and valid sites is not easy. Transitioning to standards compliant design is a long frustrating road, but it is well worth the pain.
There are many that can forget the journey that we all traveled to get where we are today. A good working knowledge of CSS and XHTML takes time and a lot of hair loss (so invest in a wig or a stress ball now). We all can take a moment in this holiday to remember 'our own journey' and be civil in our responses. Keep chugging along; shunt the negative words and absorb to constuctive criticism. It can seem like no effort was put into a site before submitting to the list if the css and XHTML does not validate. Some take great offense to that. Knowing what constitutes valid css and XHTML and CSS and how to test for it can be tricky There are many great resources on the WSG Resources section: http://webstandardsgroup.org/resources/ Good luck! Keep up the work and journey. Jim -- ______________________________________ "Bugs are, by definition, necessary.
