I think the font is a bit too hard to read (especially with that
background) - recommend either a sans-serif or an even more subdued
background.
A little padding/margin <p> would help the look and readability to me.
Overall I think the site does what it is intended to do - portray/sell the
band.

In the menu button "About The Attack I see a vertical black line.
See http://www.evandervaart.nl/news/firefox.png
This is how it looks with Mozilla and Galeon under Linux-Mandrake 9.2
http://www.evandervaart.nl/news/mozilla.png and
http://www.evandervaart.nl/news/galeon.png
Text are scale- and readable.
However I can't figure out why you need block element around the
'header', 'n', 'content' and
'footer'. If you specify in the '#footer' clear: both; to prevent
floating of the footer to
left/right side of the page. Then you can remove the 'all' block
element. Place the
padding-bottom in the '#footer'
You can remove the html from the style sheet 'html, body {}'.
Also you can combine the background elements with each other, like:
background: url(horns.gif) #000 fixed;
I noticed that in the class '.attack, .action' the following
..attack, .action {
float: left;
width: 207px;
}
..attack {
float: left;
}
What I would like to suggest is to remove the float: left in the
'.attack, .action' and
make a new class .action {float: left;}.
You didn't have specified any background in the link/hover part. If you
wouldn't set any
background color then use transparent for the background color.

All true. This design evolved, so to speak. I know there's a bit of
clutter. Once the bugs are shaken loose, I'll pare it down; so long as
these bits aren't causing problems I'll fry them later.

Acthally what I have is:
..attack, .action {
float: left;
width: 207px;
}
..action {
float: right;
}
I'm setting the width for both, and the float correctly for one, then
resetting it for the other.

Good idea. How's the index page in Mozilla etc. now?

Apart from making scrolling sluggish, fixing the background doesn't
achieve anything positive here.
The colour scheme strikes me as chaotic.
One of the "Brass Attack" graphic logos is redundant imo, one should
suffice.
The menu suffers from a few cosmetic issues in Mozilla.
IE: the photo of the band exhibits a margin issue, and the "Log cabin"
graphic isn't centered.

What are you running? Not sluggish here on W98 Opera. Think most users
would have an issue?

So is the band ;)

On the header? No, actually that's a legal requirement, believe it or not.
Though the Action logo will be redesigned, and the Attack one redone as
well. They won't look similar.

I've just fixed the Log Cabin, and what issue do you see with the pic in
Moz?

Don't know, it's slow here, and fixing the background seems pointless in
this case.

Spartanicus, or soeone else running Firefox, what happens when the
viewport width is changed? Does a different nav element get skewered at
the line break??
Each of those stupid yellow bozes is simply:
<span><a href="about.html" title="Our beginnings, and venues of ages
past">About The Attack</a></span>
and a single space separating. It seems that the line break is being made
by Firefox within the span! In other words, the span's left border is
orphaned on the top line, while the remainder of the element starting with
the first character is on the second. Unbelievable!
I'll try to find a workaround ^%#%@^$&@

Neal,If you haven't already found a fix, I think I found a solution to your
problem.
Add this to your '#n span' block:
#n span {
border: 1px red outset;
background: yellow;
padding: .4em;
line-height: 2.5em;
white-space: nowrap;
}
This will suppress that line break that keeps showing up at various window
sizes in mozilla.
Regards,
Jim

I haven't, and I appreciate the tip. If only I understood what the frick
it does...
D/led Mozila again (the last time, it failed to work) but I d/l'ed the
beta, which I didn't want, so 45 minutes from having the latest
general-distribution Mozilla again. We'll see if it works.
I have updated this to the CSS, so if someone wants to tip me off that it
fixed it, that's cool...

I can't claim to fully understand it. I've read about the white-space
property but have never used it. When you mentioned that firefox seemed to
be adding a line break inside the span, I thought I'd give it a try and see
if that would fix the problem. I tested it in my html editor which has a
gecko preview and it worked. It seems to work in firefox as well.
Here's the w3c reference:

Reading that spec, white-space: nowrap; would prevent any line break.
What's the Mozilla rendering now?
25 minotes to go on this download...

It's seems to be rendering just fine. If you put the nowrap in your #n Div,
then it wouldn't allow any line breaks at all between your nav links. Since
it's in the
#nav span block, it's controlling the white space in each individual span so
there is no problem. I guess we'll have to see how other browsers render it.
I'm pretty optimistic though.
Once you get Mozilla up and running, you might be interested in the Web
Development extension:
http://www.chrispederick.com/work/firefox/webdeveloper/
It's only 54Kb and includes several tools such as validation, forms tools,
information viewing (CSS, HTML, speed reports), Image functions, and many
more, can be accessed from a tool bar or context menu.
I was able to edit your style sheet on the fly and see the results
instantly.

Well, I have a 1280x1024 screen.
I have set the browsers full screen, because I don't have any idea how
to set a 800x600 browser window. :-D

It doesn't cause any problems, but it looks cleaner when viewing the
style sheet codes.

Why not putting like this:
.attack, .action {width: 207px;}
.attack {float: left;}
.action {float: right;}
This way both images have the same width and the images are floating
correctly. Also you haven't need to reset the float for the .action image.

In Firefox on windows 2000 looks okay.

Click and drag a corner of your browser window inwards...
If it's maximized, you may have to un-maximize it first.

I have pencil marks on the frame of my monitor (which is set at 1024x768)
at 512 wide, 600 wide, and 800 wide, and the same aspect in height. I just
put the browser in the upper left corner and drag the size. Works like a
charm :)

Well, there's a filesize savings my way. Is there a danger of lost
functionality or improp=er rendering?

If the need is that bad, try out the favelets Kris has on
this Dutch page:
http://www.cinnamon.nl/keuken/favelets/
Scroll till you see the resolutions you want, right click
them and same them as favorites/bookmarks. Then, when you're
in your browser and want to scale to a certain resolution,
call the corresponding favorite/bookmark, and presto.

Much easier to just add these links to your bookmarks:
<ul>
<li><a href="java script:resizeTo(240,320)">240x320 (PocketPC)</a></li>
<li><a href="java script:resizeTo(320,240)">320x240</a></li>

No, that's not the reason. I too have pop-ups disabled. Both

This isn't the problem, because it still doesn't work with javascript

I don't know which browsers are behind the favelets.
I tested with:
Firefox 0.8 (win2000) -> only simulate PDA and show tables.
IE 6.0 (win2000) -> works perfectly.
Mozilla (linux/mandrake 9.2) -> only simulate PDA and show tables.
Galeon (linux/mandrake 9.2) -> only simulate PDA and show tables.
It seems that they need to go to the drawing board to fix those problems.
