It looks good, but I'd agree with Tee, it needs some "spacing". Interesting use of DLs, but I would not use display:none to hide the DT (shoot them off-screen).
Also, I'd get rid of the DIV wrappers you have around these DLs. I think you could remove a few other DIVs from the markup. If the large image in the Hot Topics section has an empty alt attribute, why not using it as a background image? Right now you have it wrapped in a div that is floated right and that image inside is floated *left* (?) with extra margin values. I'm not sure what you're doing with the P before the H1, I think you could achieve the same thing using a real image in that H1 [1] I'd style the skip nav on focus, because that link is very small and the outline barely shows [1] http://www.tjkdesign.com/articles/tip.asp -- Regards, Thierry | http://www.TJKDesign.com From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Andrew Maben Sent: Monday, February 25, 2008 7:32 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [WSG] Site review I'm almost done with a site redesign, and the time is right to ask for your opinions: http://beta.www.aclib.us for comparison, the current site is: http://www.aclib.us I'm aiming for HTML 4.01 Strict compliance, and am periodically running the W3C Validator, so no need to notify me of validation errors. Of course accessibility is important, and this is where your insights and criticisms can be especially helpful. There's some use of Javascript, mostly to show/hide content - I'm finishing up some changes to remove the JS dependency for these enhancements, (but I'm still using "onClick" which I'll be replacing as soon as I get a chance - deadline compromise...) I'm not thrilled with the IA, and though changes may be hard to sell or implement, I'd welcome any reasoned criticism on this front. I have yet to write the CSS for print and for mobile devices, and would welcome suggestions here too, as well as from iPhone/iPod Touch users. Thanks in advance.
