The layout can't cope with any degree of font-resizing in any browser,
which I think is a weak point.
In my testing, I can resize a substantial amount before seeing any
problems occur, and even then it's just slightly misaligned background
images which don't affect the readability of the content too much. The
text will eventually over lap the columns (especially on the 3-col home
page), but it has to get quite big and I'd rather the user disabled
stylesheets in such cases or we provided an alternative larger
font/single-column stylesheet.
Noticed delay (on a slow connection) for those '#secondary-nav'
background-images to change on :hover first time. Maybe a single
repositioned background would work better..?
That was considered and even attempted, but I couldn't find a way to do
it in a way that didn't cause other problems without spending too long
on the issue. Now that I have more time, I may be able to find a way to
do it.
PS. I know the markup is currently XHTML and I'm aware how much of a
hypocrite that makes me :-)... plans to convert it to HTML4 later on.
Not much of an issue :-)
However, are there any reasons for not using '(X)HTML Strict' on that
page/site?
Yes. The JavaScript and CSS were not fully written to deal with real
XHTML issues. With the exception of the DOM script from my library
which was written to handle both conditions, the rest wasn't designed
and tested under XML conditions because my original templates used HTML
4 Strict.
It wasn't until the back end developer came along later and was only
relatively new to programming JSP/JSF, we ended up having to accept the
default output of XHTML in favour of fixing the other more major issues
including invalid/ill-formed and inaccessible generated markup.
