Good Job Stephen!
Re your image replacement for the title - exactly which flavour are you
using? I don't think I've seen one which uses an empty span. My personal
preference is styling the h1 with the background image and relevant sizes
and then nesting a span inside that h1. That nested span
I agree with you, Ross. CSS is so much cleaner and easier. I made the
jump from tables to CSS (with the help of TopStyle Pro) and I haven't
looked back.
Kudos to Stephen for doing it right.

Using display: none defeats the purpose if accessibility is your concern.
That's the Fahrner technique see: http://www.alistapart.com/articles/fir/
They see the same thing you report when css is on and images off. You need
to position it off page with a negative (or really high) margin. Might

I'm not a big fan of image replacement anyway but since we can do so much
with web design/development these days (Microsoft browsers permitting of
course) but also have so many different aspects to consider 9 times in 10 I
move more towards keeping things accessible and don't bother with

FWIW, I don't use the image replacement techniques either since plain text

Thanks John, but it flapped it's little wings off to the client around
an hour ago :) They're fine with serving IE5.2 no style sheet (along
with NS 4.x) and when they checked on their mac in Safari 1.1, they

All's well that ends well...
