These settings usually mean sites display pretty much the same across the two browsers, but for some reason in this site, the text shows slightly larger in Epiphany, causing the baby 0-12 months text in the left-hand column to wrap onto two lines. It's not a problem - just an observation. Other than that, the site looks good. If the text size is increased to 24 or more, then the header-navigation links wrap, but the header doesn't increase in size to accommodate this. Setting #header min-height:100px, rather than height:100px should help; setting the height in ems would be even better. I don't have a problem reading the header-links text, but I use a tool from Vision Australia to check colour contrast for visibility, and these two combinations do fail that test. I find this tool really useful - http://www.visionaustralia.org.au/info.aspx?page=628 - it's designed for Windows, but also runs on Linux using Wine. The black text Girls over the photo is very hard to read, but maybe not too much of a problem in context. Overall, I like the layout. It's clear and uncluttered and I found it easy to use. Hope this helps.

[css-d] site design/layout feedback desired
Looking for feedback on a design I'm almost done with. Don't bother testing functionality, nothing is active yet except for some simple validation on the login and register pages. Just click links and let me know what you think of the look and feel. FYI - the only product right now is under Baby - Boys - Pullovers. Mostly looking for feedback on the product page and the cart page, general layout, and navigation. Site is built using ASP.NET 4.0, ASP.NET MVC 2.0, SQL Server 2008, using an MVVM pattern. http://blackcoil.com/classychild -- Francesco Sanfilippo, Blackcoil Productions HTML, CSS, JQuery, ASP.NET, MVC, SQL 702.272.8912 | france...@blackcoil.com http://blackcoil.com | http://facebook.com/blackcoil __ css-discuss [cs...@lists.css-discuss.org] 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/

O.K. in Mac OS X 10.4. Mac FF at 16px minimum font-size. Same for Camino, Mac Opera, Mac Safari [all at default]. IETester IE 6/7/8 looked O.K., too. A few the usual markup validation issues here and there...

The bottom 75% of the words gifts and help are fully obscured by home01.jpg. 4 items...register are all but invisible due to lack of contrast. Join our email list is marginally better. The facebook twitter icons measure about 5mm X 5mm. The only way to know what they are is to look at the statusbar on hover. The cart icon is worse, maybe 2mm X 3mm. Width of cart page is about half the width of my viewport, looks like needs to be at least 50% wider. Longer titles in left column require two rows to fit the text. All content below help in left column is functionally invisible microscopic text. Boy's pullover sweater is about 4cm X 4cm until clicked, marginally bigger after clicked, not big enough to see any detail to speak of. I don't think I'd use the word bag on the add to shopping button. Home page uses word cart, so I'd stick with that. Overall it's a whole lot better than the average shopping site, largely because most text is legible, and the look is relatively uncluttered. -- The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive.
