  working on a quick 'n simple static html website for an antiquarian. only the first column of the top navigation is working. i made the pictures too, but what you see now are just drafts.

  i can't check the performance in IE6/7. how does it look like on pc - is everything still on the grid or totally messed up? i'm curious.

  all other comments on layout, color scheme and performance are welcome too.

  should help for checking that your css framework sticks. The java is another story...

  Looks good btw. Don't like your sub-heading colours on the right-side (also the outline colour for your java popup).

  If it's a mess in IE7 then just image IE6, stewart. Saying 'I'm not a programmer' is like saying 'I'm not a structural engineer' — not something you want to hear after the fact.

  looks clean in safari, sjoerd. nicely done.
  there's a little too much compression perhaps on the pic of the store?

  • that pic is a fake one. going to take the real one next wednesday at night!– stewart

  looks good, like the handwritten. The white-on-black color scheme works well for the feeling I think your trying to bring across.

  Why are you using an image for the dotted line? Further more, you have multiple elements with the same id. (Should be classes if used on multiple elements).

  if you did a header div, with a border-top:1px dotted #FFF;
  and border-bottom. And then float the navigation inside it. and clear that navigation with the break you have (float:none; clear:both;) It should work in Internet Explorer.
  (ps: remove the padding/margins from your ul/li's and use line-height for a better cross browser constistancy)

  • thanks a million, going to check it all. about the dots: i thought i'd have more control over the appearance this way?– stewart

  I'm not sure if some of your colour choices suit an "antiquarian" site. Unless she wants a modern feel, but you could still get that using earth tones.

  Nice simple site, though.

  Looks fine in IE6 except for the ">" in your navigation. In IE6, those show up as dots and in Safari the right section is half cut-off.

  BTW - buy an old Dell Inspiron off eBay for IE sitechecks. Very cheap and easy solution.

    You can get an old Dell or Acer for less than a hundred bucks, even off Craigslist, etc.– pylon

  Seriously, when can we agree that we should stop hacking css and whatnot to make it look good in IE6 — or even IE7.
  I think there are enough good alternatives out there if a person is just a little interested in having a good internet-experience.

  i Like it, but reconsider the #000 bg, i just firebugged it down a notch to #04080A, and it took a bit of the edge off.
