Change of colour or something, I think that would perfect it. __________________________________ All posts are my own opinion.

Looks like the "latest version". I quote from Webmaster World: [QUOTE] Webmaster World said: xhtml 1.0 is a reformulation of HTML 4.01 with an XML syntax. It has the same elements etc. as HTML 4.01, and exists in three flavors, Strict, Transitional and Frameset. xhtml 1.1 is an xhtml module comprising a more limited set of elements/attributes (and which excludes everything that was deprecated on HTML 4.01/xhtml 1.0). It is designed to be used in a purely XML setting, often in combination with other XML variants, such as MathML or SVG. Check out the source code for http://w3.org/ - they are (quite correctly) using xhtml 1.0 Strict, not xhtml 1.1. xhtml 1.0 Second Edition is the latest standard published by the W3C for general web use. If you want to author xhtml at the moment, it is your best choice. The biggest problem with xhtml 1.1 is the name, which gives an inaccurate impression of its heritage. - `<title>` should be the first in `<head>` section. Despite what Dreamweaver templates say. - Use some access keys for your nav links. Maybe make an "Accessibility" page linked to in your footer explaining it. - I like your use of `<h1>`, but is "adam2z.com" really your target keyword? - You need `meta` data but I guess you know that. - I think your headings should be #333 or something instead of #000. Makes it a bit softer to the eye. - You haven't defined you language. Replace appropriate with: `<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">` __________________________________ My Personal Portfolio Site

Alec Super Moderator Joined April 2007 Posts: 124	I agree. May as well get it correct tho. It's as simple as replacing `<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd">` with `<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">` __________________________________ My Personal Portfolio Site

Alex Member Joined July 2007 Posts: 31	To extend on 'adding more style' i mean perhaps: - Change the font - Make first letter unique - Underline (dotted?) - Change the colour __________________________________ Aim2Break Records

But it won't work in IE6 - not sure about ie7. `img[align=left] { margin-right: 5px; } img[align=right] { margin-left: 5px; }` The brackets allow you to assign styles to elements with specific attributes - very useful but unfortunately not supported on most old or crap browsers! __________________________________

But it won't work in IE6 - not sure about ie7. `img[align=left] { margin-right: 5px; } img[align=right] { margin-left: 5px; }` I'm not sure if using the align property on images (or anything?) is considered valid XHTML, though... Correct me if I'm wrong... And if you were to sell it, I'm going to assume it helps when your product is supported by most browsers... If that can't be done, then it should still degrade gracefully. Unless, of course, your client is a dumbass. __________________________________ I do it for the lulz.

Will Administrator Joined October 2005 Posts: 133	[QUOTE] adam2z said (19th October @ 11:16am): as it is now, it is giving the images a 5 px margin, and then removing it on the appropriate side depending on the alignment. So yes, it is degrading gracefully. I dont know if this is a css valid technique... but im not much bothered. it makes no difference anywhere. Yup, that's CSS3. Even though it's unsupported in IE7 and below, it's still pretty nice. __________________________________ Will Morgan Freelance Web Developer Next feature: How to fit 25 hours into a day!

adam2z Member Joined October 2005 Posts: 113	nothing 'validates for IE' it either looks presentable or not. this is a small tweak that improves presentation in operafox and does nothing for primitive browsers. hence it's fine. its a portfolio and personal site - i wont be selling this layout any time soon. although i might tweak it and keep the same basic csshtml __________________________________
