Spare a thought for those using dial-up in a hotel bedroom or a slow EPRS-only phone signal while on the road. If you must incorporate piccies make them clickable thumbnails. I might lose patience and look elsewhere if large graphics were forced on me.

Check it for yourself in lynx. Will do. I've noted as well that the menus don't work in Opera on the iPhone. :-/ > 'after all' (pets page) should be two words Noted > On bilingual page(s) suggest a <div lang="XX"> ... </div> or whatever the > correct xhtml equivalent is (I only speak html 4).

Aaaaaarrrggghhh! Crikey, that sort of cod-management speak has been winding me up for 10 years or more. People seem to think that dropping 'going forward' into a sentence somehow adds some dynamism to their point. In almost every circumstance you can omit the 'going forward' and retain the same meaning. -- Champ We declare that the splendor of the world has been enriched by a new beauty: the beauty of speed.

Oh, in general yes, me too. "Going forward" seems to the current mgmt-speak du-jour though. > People seem to think that dropping 'going forward' > into a sentence somehow adds some dynamism to their point.

Have an overall language selection (two flags, d'uh) on the top right of the screen, and then a seperate menu for each language sub-site. I don't actually like javascript/DIV style menus any more generally though - a bit 2003. Plus, you'd get a "fail" for accessibility. -- d. |
