Hello,
I would appreciate browser compatability confirmations. After a couple of coding repairs made possible by the useful insight of "kk5st" (Gary) It seems to be working properly using IE6/OP7.3/NS7.1/NS6.2/Moz1.7.

Free time permitting I hope to work on an alternate stripped down version in the near future for accessibility needs.

Solid Ground

Any additional critique is also welcomed. Keep in mind I just learned HTML/CSS for the sake of building this site for my friends band. Also, all verbiage is from the band members themselves...none were english majors. ;-)

the line above, should read as below (proper tag nesting is necessary for xhtml)



other than that your code is looking pretty good.



as it stands your site is pretty good when it comes to accessibiliy, unless you really want to go for the full accessable shah bang, i don't see the point in another site.

if you are going to correct the coding, do it properly
the a-element which is an inline element cannot contain a blocklevel element like the paragrah.

so sorry, that'll teach me to post in a rush

em.. shouldn't it be for the copyright?, hehe

yes, it should.
it got changed when i quoted your msg,
i blame it on vb

Sheesh! Can't believe I did that. It was a last minute change to the footer after I posted the thread and neglected to check validation. Thanks for pointing it out guys.

The only page that will not validate now is the "links" page and that's because I'm not quite sure what to do with the form mark-ups which have a number of invalids.

Appreciate the input!

guess you just copy-n-paste those links on the link-page,
not very good markup,

just make sure everything is in lower-case tags and attributes,
and make sure every tag is properly closed.
remove deprecated attributes as border, align, bgcolor, etc
and deprecated tags like font and center

also remember paragraphs cannot contain blocklevel elements.

Here! here! I confess.

When I looked at the links my friend sent me to place in strict I nearly died. Since I skipped basic HTML, went straight to XHTML/CSS, and know nothing about building tables (other than how Dreamweaver totally screws you up every time you make one little change in WYSIWYG) working in a text editor to tame those creatures seemed a bit daunting.

I ended up changing one to just a site link instead of a submit form and will probably just adjust it to point to the vote page later on. The other had tons of markup that I could not find a reason for. After paring it down to just the necessities it validates and works (submits the vote) as intended.

Thanks for pushing me. ;-)
