A registered Rat Rescue charity. Now why didn't I think of that. I could have been

rich by now.

Site look fine.

Ask yourself what the table markup brings to your pages.

Check the archive in this group and elsewhere for lengthy discussion on the
subject of access keys.

What necessitates the use of XHTML on these pages?

Hi, John. The text is too small -- even for me.

"I'm ready for my close-up, Lesley!" isn't really a heading is it? So
don't use <h2>...</h2> to mark it up.

Try <p><q>...</q></p> or <blockquote><p>...</p></blockquote> and then
style as desired.

I would recommend moving the registered charity number from the page title
into the footer.

Nice looking site.

(1)
<div class="hide"><a href="#content" title="Skip navigation."
accesskey="2">Skip navigation.</a></div>

Contrary to popular belief, 'Skip navigation' will be completely hidden
to the majority of screen-readers and voice browsers (rumour has it that
the very latest update will allow JFW to see it, but not older versions,
and no others).
Use a 1-pixel link to achieve the same goal -- or leave it visible.

(From a practical point of view, it's not really necessary to provide a
bypass in this case as there's only 5 items in the menu -- each only 1
or 2 words long).

(2)
Doesn't work in NS4.75 -- consider hiding the CSS:
http://www.gododdin.demon.co.uk/ng/rats.jpg (30k)

(3) spelling:
[temparature] --> [temperature]
[ie] --> [i.e.]

(4)
<acronym>EGPRR</acronym>

might be better as <acronym title="Essex Guinea Pig and Rat Rescue
">EGPRR</acronym>


regards.

It's tricky because brucie has been posting with 'X-No-Archive: yes' of
late. But this is probably the thread I was thinking of - although I STR it
was longer.

Even if the class "hide" is only defined in stylesheets with
media="screen, projection"?

I thaught that a voice browser would look after stylesheets with
media="aural". And then "hide" would be not defined and there would be
no reason for omitting the "skip navigation".
