OK, one final comment then time to move on. I think the root of the problem is one of user expectation : with a tabbed interface, the user knows in advance that he/she will be able to see the contents of exactly one tab at a time, and that revealing the contents of one tab will necessarily entail the concealing of the contents of the other(s) (the radio button effect); with an expand/contract interface, I believe that the user expectation would be that each expand/contract control is independent, and therefore he/she wold not expect that expanding one would contract two others, /particularly/ if, like me, he/she starts by expanding the first, then the second, then the third -- since expanding the second did not contract the first, I have already been led to believe that expansion does not also entail contraction.

Re: [css-d] Use of empty DIVs?
Tim Offenstein wrote: I'm seeing a number of students mark up their XHTML with descriptively named DIVs that have no counterpart in the CSS. This is a general design issue and about markup, not CSS. From the CSS perspective, there are some risks, whether you mean classes or ids (or both) by names. The names may pollute the name space, especially if people do not realize that id attributes must be unique. For example, I have seen a stituation with two id attributes (in code that I cannot change in any direct way) that differ in case of letters only, and it seems that when you have id=foo and id=Foo (violating HTML rules), browsers won't treat either of them as matching the selector #foo (or #Foo)! Similarly, if lots of class attributes are used extensively and carelessly, you might notice that setting properties for .bar sets them for elements you weren't thinking about (since in the past you forgot, I you had used class=bar somewhere, or a previous author of the page did). These can however be avoided by good general design and documentation, which is needed anyway, to keep track of the classes and ids you really need. On the positive side, understandability of HTML source code is useful when you later modify or debug the CSS code. Extra names can be handy later in styling, as already mentioned in this discussion. And they can be indispensable to users who wish (or need) to set up a user style sheet for viewing the page: they cannot change the markup, they have to work with the hooks offered by classes, ids, and maybe other attributes present in the source, If this is an attempt to section/categorize the code, simple HTML comments will serve the purpose much better. HTML comments are risky and clumsy. It's too easy to make a mistake in typing the !-- and -- as well as use -- inside the comment. In CSS, comments are safer; their main problems are that they consume bandwidth (since comments are sent along with CSS code every time a browser requests for it) and that they they to degrade by time (people change code but don't update the comments).

Re: [css-d] browser reports please
I did not look at the demo. With regard to your page, setting type in pixels is not a good idea. In general, the culprits as far as type is concerned, is setting fonts with line-height set in pixels, and hard-coding a height on blocks containing text-type. Just for kicks, try resetting your horizontal-navigation bar: pretend you do not have, nor have ever heard of, Photoshop. 1. 'hard coding heights on blocks containing text-type' - that must be done by Joomla or the template. 2. 'line-height set in pixels' - what should I use? It's a menu rather than a paragraph. 3. 'try resetting your horizontal-navigation bar' The main reason I chose this template, framework was because of the menu and now you're telling me it's rubbish. 4. 'nor have ever heard of, Photoshop' - So I wasted three years at university then :D Solutions to markup validation problems are often easily resolved by running the page through Tidy Online [1] [backup your original page before doing so]. That's great except it doesn't teach me what the problem is, and when it's coded by Joomla, then I can't change it anyway. I am so happy the days of IE6 are finally going away but I seem to be faced with a new problem - display sizes. I appreciate you may have bad eyes and/or a whopping great monitor but I feel that because of this designs are having to be uber-basic once again. 16 pixels minimum - are you kidding me!? I've also been a little disappointed hearing user of this list telling people to stay away from animation because at the end of the day it is subjective, and/or you may be designing for a client that has requested it. Since I have started using Joomla and customising templates like this I seem to be getting a lot more work. I'll get onto the template developers about this minimum font size thing.
