I agree here with David. The contrast of background against text is a bit low. Try running some Accessibility test that checks the contrast of text against background and you will see low scores. To alot of people, not beiing able to find the "text" alias content fast, can be hampering and will lead them away. I dont even mean the choice of your colors, but more the hues you use. With your design, maybe having to click is not optimal. Since you already use Javascript you can keep the click optional and just trigger it, when no JS is there. Otherwise simply slide content into place when you mouse over, for example. Also i noticed that when you turn of JS completly all one will see is all your content in one long run. Why not make the use of JS unobtrusive and seperate it so nicely like you already do with CSS/HTML? Makes your site alot more accessible to more people. I like the JS effects alot between. regards, Jens ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
