Hello Kim,
You're welcome.
 
Continuing with out conversation and therefore keeping the posts together so people don't get confused.
 
Let's go back to #1.
(1) Your first question deals with the fact that you have the following codes in use.
<li><a href="produkter.htm" title="Gruppe: produkt oversigt">Produkter</a></li>
<a href="produkter/produkter.htm" title="Til produkter">Produkter</a>
Those two pieces of code point to two different locations, but have the same text "Produkter".  Actually, both links are broken.
I checked your codes and you still have the same problem.
 
Number 2 was fixed by changing to grey letters against the red background.
 
(3)  Based upon what you are saying in your reply they are web pages on other domains.  Why use _javascript_?  I would use the standard <a href="" target="_blank">anchor text</a> to open a new window.  If you're opening a small window to provide help or additional information in your domain then a _javascript_ isn't too bad and probably the best way using your codes.
 
(4)  Correct, you do not need to worry about that issue.
 
(5)  This one I left out last time.  Please explain why you use an acronym tag for Jette A Kaarsbøl.  I would use the description about Jette being an author of a book in the viewable text (regular text on the page).
 
(6)  The links you are listing appear to be clients.  Am I correct?  Did you design the book cover or the web site?
 
Thank you for letting me help.
 
Sincerely,
Lee Roberts

 Hi Lee,
 
Thank you for your detailed comments.
 
OK... number 1 and 2 make sense. But no 3 doesn't. In my FF 0.9 I can tab through the page with and without _javascript_ enabled. But maybe I misunderstand what you're saying.
 
This is where I'm not sure what the best approach is. The 3 links that use pop scripts are for external pages. I would think that it would be better to open an external page in a new window but I guess it not. Is it correct not to use new windows... even I describe it in the title tags?
 
No 4... well there are no ani gifs and no distracting motion so I guess I don't have to worry about it?
 
I've uploaded the same page with the corrections in place. Well not the pop windows thing... I'll wait to hear what you (or others have to say about it) I would be happy if I could get a "45 things you need" review :o)
 
 
 
Kim,
(1) Your first question deals with the fact that you have the following codes in use.
<li><a href="produkter.htm" title="Gruppe: produkt oversigt">Produkter</a></li>
<a href="produkter/produkter.htm" title="Til produkter">Produkter</a>
Those two pieces of code point to two different locations, but have the same text "Produkter".  The first link is a broken link.
 
You have this problem with your links at the bottom.  They do not show up well against the red background.
 
(3) If scripts create pop-up windows or change the active window, make sure that the user is aware this is happening.
Your _javascript_ links to open new windows breaks accessibility.  Using Firefox 0.8 and tabbing through the page I encounted a link that would not let me go on.
<a href="http://www.mouseriders.dk/jette/" onclick="popUpWin(this.href,'standard',800,600);return false;" onkeypress=
"popUpWin(this.href,'standard',800,600);return false;" title= "Linket &aring;bner Jette A Kaarsb&oslash;l kommende
hjemmeside i et nyt vindue">f&oslash;rste udkast</a>
 
That will occur on all three links you use that _javascript_ on.
 
All of your images are .gif files.  Since the program can't tell what you are doing with your images it asks you to check to make sure you have no problems.
 
Fixing these things will help.  If you would like a further review let me know.
 
Sincerely,
Lee Roberts
