On the Boaty site - I think I prefer the blue and green followed by the blue. Not keen on the straight green site - looks a bit washed out if you'll forgive the pun!! Far as stylesheet switchers go - I've gone right off them recently! I think they can still be a good thing but not just for swapping themes. If you're going to use them then I'd use them for something "useful" like a contrast version or a PDA version (single column fluid) or for font-size increasing (better yet, just tell them how to do it in the browser!). Far as the Project 7 menu goes - I remember reading something about it recently which registered but not enough to stick so I can remember it (doh) - you might want to make sure that it's cross browser - just in case that was the problem, sorry I can't remember. _____________________________ Little Blue Plane Web Design \| Land Rover project (in reply to d a v e)

The Boat sites also look good, I'm leaning towards the blue/green one also. It's a bit difficult to comment further as these are just images, I'm assuming that they resize to 800x600 and look less spacious when resized to lower resolutions in general. Good to see the skip links in there and that project seven stuff has been bookmarked, it says that it's accessible which is great, but it'll be interesting to see if Tail can remember what it is she's heard about it. Nice work! Nicole _____________________________ (in reply to Tailslide)

It might be nothing serious, I just remember a mental flag popping up... Edit: Dave I've had a good look round and can't see anything that would be a current problem with the top end menu. They did have a problem with the menu not working in Safari which would definitely have been a reason for me not using them - but they've got a fix on there now (you have to search for it though!). It was probably about a year ago that I looked at them and decided against using it - they've updated the menu since and added more functionality including being one of the few that you can tab through properly - so I'd certainly consider using them now too. 2nd edit: I just saw it says that you need Dreamweaver - boo hiss! < Message edited by Tailslide -- 9/18/2005 4:22:31 > _____________________________ Little Blue Plane Web Design \| Land Rover project (in reply to Nicole)

I like the red on the composites and the blue / green on the boaty. quote: p.s. the composites site will be fibreglass stuff, carbon fibre stuff and other, er stuff bunged together! It's fantastic the way 'Composites' reflects fibreglass and other bunged together stuff - you certainly have a great deal of talent _____________________________ Sally (in reply to d a v e)
