(well done) i prefer to use/see the hover state used for the current link (or some indication of the current link) on the buttons so at a glance i can see where i am. i know you have the breadcrumbs and text title but... also don't forget your page title! (the one that appears at top of browser window) i know this is only a test page i like the "buy - protect - keep" particularly you have a couple of stray font tags in there, and don't forget your doctype, oh and alt tags. well i guess you'll be sorting those out as you go but i'll just mention them anyway. your columns jpg looks a bit over compress - there are visible artefacts in the sky and the whole pic could look a bit classier by being a bit higher quality also your bm.gif looks a little bit muddy, but it's ok good job on the whole, simple yet reassuring. _____________________________ David Prescott Gekko web design (in reply to walrus)

gorilla Posts: 2974 From: Denmark Status: offline	RE: tried a new thing from a gorilla - 4/2/2004 2:24:30 I log in to double check that nothing urgent needed replying to on my last day before I head off and see "gorilla" so of course I had to check :-) How gratifying :-) This is exactly what I wanted form posting that for people to try a new thing and see how easy it is. My compliments you have done it very nicely. I love seeing a site where people add a some sparkle to a good strcuture. I rmember sites of yours they are always very professionaly done. Please do continue with the css. YOu will quickly wonder how on earth you ever manged without it. On your form page http://manlove-test.co.uk/contactus.htm you have a slight misalignment in oprea 7.23 and in Mozilla 1.6 Try putting in a FULL doctype as without it you are forcing all the browsers to render in quirks mode. I am sorry i cannot say more I really am rushed today and should not even have "wasted" this time replying. For your tables you could linearise them and make them more accessible not only to any diabled people but also to google bot. Posting below is a table I use an example. _____________________________ Mh�ircaish Signature self-censored to protect the sensibilities of the thin-skinned .

One tiny little suggestion, vertically centre the text on the homepage underneath Mortgages and more.... _____________________________ If it ain't broke..... fix it until it is.
