yeah, we have been picking this one apart for a few weeks over here at news.com.au! Looks good all up. I like the initial design and it seems to break down really well with styles off so some good thought has gone into the layout and coding which is good to see. Noticed you are using relative font sizing which is something we are trying to push here so good to see it working well on such an information heavy site. One thing I notice is the lack of consistency of the 'cover' page from any page you get to through a link. It seems to me this may be beyond your control as they seem to be a bunch of different mini-sites, but would have been great to carry that look and feel throughout the whole site to maintain consistency. This also carries with the 800_html version. It is a useful feature, but again only really sticks with the first page and then does not carry over to the other pages. nice work! scott gledhill ****************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ******************************************************
