Just to annoy people like you. The group is called alt.html.critique,
not alt.design.critique. Chaddy2222's response is why I posted, to
clear up any technical issues. You need to work harder if you want to
be a good troll.

Thanks, I've learned a lot from you. :-)


Yes, it is obvious now that you couldn't use www.w3 to check your
code for errors... and needed someone to post the link for you LOL

Well, I see two sides to that story.
A comment like "Aesthetic critiques are fine, but I like how it looks so
I don't really care if others don't," will be taken as the local
equivalent of mooning a car full of fundamentalists on their way home
from Sunday school.

Aside from validation woes or lack thereof, there is an issue of the
probable age of the source of your information about HTML. You haven't
been visiting used bookstores have you?

I ask this because the markup looks as if it came from about 1995.
Things change more quickly on the web than they do elsewhere. It may be
valid or not, but it is surely outdated, and will be harder to maintain
than modern markup.

The page looks OK visually to me, too, although I wish you'd bring that
near black background up to, say, '#444;'. It's kind of severe. More
Goth than Businesslike.

Yeah... I think you're looking at the old one:

"If you want a good laugh, you can look at the old version, but I don't
need any critiques on it (that's why it's the OLD version):
http://alhaabcpa.home.comcast.net/index0.html"

...since the new one has a white background.

Yes, that's much better!

<div class="col">
Personal Tax Returns<br>
Business Tax Returns<br>
Out of State Returns<br>
Taxation of Estates<br>

Taxation of Trusts
</div>

would be more naturally represented by:

<ul>
<li>Personal Tax Returns</li>
<li>Business Tax Returns</li>
<li>Out of State Returns</li>
<li>Taxation of Estates</li>
<li>Taxation of Trusts
</ul>

....Styling away the bullets, if you want, with CSS.

Yes, you're right - that's a great suggestion. Thanks.
