I can't resist. 1. The link works fine from KMail, as does: www.codehelp.co.uk It does have problems with links to sites that don't use the http:// or start with www, but then so does Mozilla. 2. The CSS Validator appears to be down (it was OK earlier this morning) but the XHTML itself is valid - always a good sign. So those two aren't criticisms, I only have one minor point. For accessibility reasons, I wonder if you'd consider darkening the font color for pages like http://www.marjon.ac.uk/cornish-history/reviews/tudorcornwall.html content { ... color: #666; } -> color: #777 or maybe color: #999 as most browsers don't render a difference as fine as 666->777. I found it quite hard to read. It'd be a shame if people had to switch to a user-defined stylesheet just to darken the text. Alternatively, offer a second stylesheet using the media attribute that uses actual black text. Not ideal because using the media tag to give two stylesheets both for screen can cause trouble. However, it does work in a limited way with only a few media options selected. Try: http://www.codehelp.co.uk/query/glossaryA.shtml#top Only this page has it defined so far, but you should get an option in the browser to use the second stylesheet. There's a default screen view and a colour print view. The advantage with the media tag is that it is sticky. If you offer both stylesheets on a page, the previously selected one is used instead of the default. This makes for easier browsing because you don't have to keep changing the stylesheet when you move pages. It also means that you should use the second sheet on all pages, even if using it doesn't make any differences otherwise visitors will drop back to the default. In Lynx, the Skip Navigation link doesn't work on the Review page. http://www.marjon.ac.uk/cornish-history/reviews.html#content nor here: http://www.marjon.ac.uk/cornish-history/conferences.html#content Otherwise, it does and it's a nice touch. Is there a way of making it a consistent link number? Sometimes it's the second or third, sometimes fourth or fifth.
