I need to know how it shapes up on some other browsers, especially
those on Mac. I've checked (800x600) in IE6, Mozilla 1.7, and FF.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, along with
accessibility, coding comments and download time.
Download time on modem: readable after 6s - complete after 24s.
Comments:
- The page is weak when font-resizing is applied. IE6 suffers the most.
----------
- 'WAI-AAA' ? I don't think so, but we don't deal with that on css-d.
OTOH: I couldn't really find the navigation-links, 'HOME' etc, in a
text-browser, which say something about accessibility.
----------
- source-code: missing start-tag on 'head' element, and HTMLTidy isn't
convinced that the start-tag on the 'html' element is there either.
Recheck 'xhtml 1.0' validation.
----------
- css: since the page is suffering from the 'extreme font-resizing
steps bug' on IE/win, and parts of the page drops when I change
font-size, it may be a good idea to define:
body {font-size: 100%;}
... which will cure the font-sizing problem, and go some way towards
keeping the pieces together in IE/win.
div.loan {margin-right: -100px;}
...should do the rest - in IE/win. It's those 'toll Free:' and other
numbers in the left column that's pushing first.
#wrapper {margin: 0 auto;}
...will make the page center in all browsers (since you already have
centered it for IE/win quirks mode).
#navtop {display: table;}
...will also improve the look in standard compliant browsers, when the
page is subjected to font-resizing.
You have used a few '* html' hacks that are a bit overdone. No need to
repeat every line from the ordinary definition - just hack in those few
styles that IE/win needs.
You have plenty of inline-styles. Try moving them to where they belong -
in the stylesheet.
--------
On the Mac: Safari and iCab are doing fine. Pixel-perfect - no, but
close enough IMO.
IE5.2 is a bit more broken, but looks usable. (note that those '* html'
hacks will affect IE/Mac too - not just IE/win, and that is usually not
doing any good there.)
Opera and Firefox on Mac present the page like their windows counterparts.
