RE: Site check you requested on www.theheetproject.org.uk Hi Tim,
This is a very nice looking site. Really excellent. I took a _very brief_ look in IE7 RC1, Firefox 1.5, Opera 9, LynxViewer and a number of other tools. A couple of suggestions for you to consider. 1) Source order: I prefer not to have the navigation at the start of the XHTML, and to let the real meat of the document come first. (Which you have done for some of the secondary content already.) Nicer for accessibility and possibly better for search engines. Shouldn't be tooo hard in this particular case to arrange this with positioning. 2) Conditional comments: Your IE-conditional comment if gte ie 5.5 is open ended. I'm not sure that this is necessary for IE7 (IE8?), it might or might not be, you probably have already looked into this. If not, I would suggest that you take a look into this anyway and try knocking it out for IE7. Certainly, it would be safer to limit it to IE5-6/Win unless there's some need for it now, and it probably is not good to continue to allow hacks to run on into future ever more compliant IE releases. Anyway, there's certainly no obvious problem _now_ at al - it looks very fine in IE7 RC1. 3) Links to same page. Just a personal thing, but I prefer to avoid nav links that point to the page you're already on, and which just cause a reload. Consider making the current entry just some text within the li. See what you think. I'm sure that when you get the real text in you won't have link text like "click here". 3) I doubt it's worth bothering with meta-keywords any more. See http://searchenginewatch.com/showPage.html?page=2165061 and http://www.searchengineguide.com/ball/006037.html but see http://www.seologic.com/faq/meta-keywords.php for a contrary opinion. Very attractive.
