Hi,
it may be nice to get some critique on www.hpregnskab.dk also on the
code!

Why is the font size set to 70% of my default and desired font size?

Why does it not adjust to my canvas width?

It does in IE7 (ctrl +/-) and I keep the layout, I know many like the
comment about the canvas width. The font size is em; and can be
adjusted.

So why should I *have* to adjust it back to my preferred 1em?

Some prefer 1em; other 1.5em; ?

JLP,

Exactly, if by 'some' you mean 'some users'. Thus the idea that you should
let the user make the choice, once, and have all sites respect it. See
http://pages.prodigy.net/chris_beall...nt%20size.html for more on this
recurring topic. Don't miss Tip #4.

I like the nice clean look and subdued color scheme. Text is easy to read,
though a bit smaller than I prefer without adjustment. Good use of white
space around blocks of text. Navigation seemed to be very intuitive (which
is a real compliment, since I don't begin to understand the language).

On my 1024 X 768 display, with the window full-screen (Firefox), I see lots
of white space at the sides of the window. Further investigation shows that
this is a fixed-width design intended for about an 800 px wide window. This
means it will be ideal for some people, but not most. See the Consequences
at http://pages.prodigy.net/chris_beall/TC/You%20don't%20know.html

Sometimes (but not always), on some pages, I saw a large whitespace to the
right of the navigation menu, i.e. the right-side content started below the
last item in the left column. Reloading the page made this disappear,
i.e.the right column content moved up to just below the horizontal line. I
did not change the window size between the 'bad' and 'good' views. The
"Privacy policy' page seemed to do this more than most. I was able to
reproduce this problem at different window sizes. I suspect this results
from the tight constraints on widths: 'content' is 701 px; it contains
'content_left' at 215 px and 'content_right' at 486 px, which exactly totals
701 px. Should work, but experience tells me that relying on this level of
precision is risky. A quick fix might be to reduce the width of the left
and right columns by 1 px each. A more flexible fix would be to specify
widths in percent.

[My personal starting preferences are, in most cases, as follows:
- If a block contains text, specify the width in ems (so the width scales
when the user changes the font size).
- Otherwise specify the width in percent (of the containing block, the
outermost of which is the user's window).]

The markup looks pretty clean. For reasons I don't understand, you use a
Definition List in instead of a just an Unordered list in several places,
including the left-column navigation. A Definition List usually associates
a Term with a Definition. Your lists have only the Definition, so an
Unordered List seems more appropriate.

If I increase the font size, the items on the left side footer overlay those
on the right. That's because they are separated with non-blank-spaces and
therefore can't spill within their own column. Also, these items are marked
up as H1, but they don't really seem to be headers. Perhaps an inline
unordered list would be more correct semantically.

Hi,

First, thanks for the comment, and then, my English isn't so good.

This is really a problem for me

last item in the left column. Reloading the page made this

It's only in Firefox, not IE7, IE6, IE5.5 or Opera only in Firefox
quick fix might be to reduce the width of the left
and right columns by 1 px each
no, I have tried to reduce the width of the left and right by 50px and
it doesn't matter. :-(
