navigation to the right.
I like the idea, the font goes well with the simplisit design. Try
making the navigation stand out a bit more and give the page some
natural flow and order.
There is probably more issues but i only had a quick glance.

Hi,
http://rahulgonsalves.com/research/site/
I'm throwing together a quick site to try and fund my travel to an
accessibility conference. I haven't had too much time to check it, or
think it through, but I would appreciate a page check, and general
suggestions/comments. Also, I don't have access to Internet Explorer;
does it behave /reasonably well/ in that browser?
This is the first semi-fluid width site that I'm working on, so a
criticism of the methods that I have used will be very useful. I
would also appreciate a link to a good max-width emulator for the
various IE-editions that don't support it.
Many thanks,
- Rahul.
Apologies to members of css-discuss, who will receive this email twice.

The following statement was from above I only partially agree with.
Why use XHTML? If you are not using anything XML related you should
be using HTML. HTML is not dead and just because you use XHTML it does
not mean your site is making good use of Web Standards. If this was do
they would not be working towards HTML5.
While there is no real reason to use XHTML if you are not using any XML
related code . If you do a little research on HTML you would see that
the W3C has only within the past year or so announced they were even
going to consider extending HTML beyond 4.01. Even so HTML 5 will not be
a standard for several years based on the speed of the W3C in the past.
XHTML is here now to stay and offers a far greater amount of
expandability in the future towards web applications then HTML can ever
consider comparing to especially with all the WEB 2.0 hype out here.
That announcement was only after Microsoft blatantly stated the Internet
Explorer Browser would never support the mime type of application-xml
and therefore would only interpret XHTML pages as a text/html. It was at
that time also that the W3C appointed the head engineer to the committee
to expand on HTML in the first place.
I may not post as often as some or even have the knowledge of many of
the members on this list however, I believe if Microsoft would have
stood behind XHTML with their browsers like Firefox and Safari did HTML
would certainly have been a dying markup language.
It would be nice if the standards were all equally supported among the
browsers but they are not. It would also be nice if there was a way to
force web standards compliance on every website on the web old or new
but that will never happen.
The best society can hope for is if businesses get educated and require
it of their web designers and programmers it may one day become an
actual standard. I do not think that will happen in my lifetime
personally but we can all dream I guess. As it stands now there seems to
be too many people out there that think the standards are not nearly as
important as if a website looks pretty to the eye.
