I also realize that ZenGardens is sorta "frozen in space and time" and
Eric would have done some things differently if he was doing it today - I
found that real interesting reading in the csszengardens book.
I think you mean Dave [Shae] (not Eric)

Subject: Re: [WSG] Site Check: Broadleaf
Not exactly a clean user experience then. Particularly troublesome when
designers rely on the background image and define colour for their text
to be readable against it, but fail to provide fallback background
colour.
Zengarden is an experimental site, showcasing in many cases how one can
push the boundaries using CSS. I would not hold it as a model for what
should or shouldn't be implemented on a production site.
Hi Patrick: In this case there is "fallback colour". Its perfectly
readable w/out the background image, at least it is when I "hide
background image" w/ the webdev toolbar in Firefox. and from what i've
observed when it is loading.
okay okay *smile* maybe zengardens is not a good example, I mainly
mentioned it because I was familiar with it, of course, and knew that
others would be on here, also. I also realize that ZenGardens is sorta
"frozen in space and time" and Eric would have done some things
differently if he was doing it today - I found that real interesting
reading in the csszengardens book.
I think there are issues w/ this design but I can't see how the background
image is particularly an issue - if it was embedded in the html,
altogether different, obviously.
so .... okay, I'm a newby and can't believe I'm "arguing" with you experts
(maybe because its too hot here in Maine even though its much better than
a lot of the U.S.) but nobody has convinced me that the background image
here is a problem.
cheers
Donna
