Review a website

Yes. I have made a few changes including fading in and out images. I will be centering the content also. In the meantime, I visited many sites, big and small. I don't remember whether you are the one who said that you use tables when in a time-crunch and that using div tags can be time consuming; I found many sites that use tables to layout instead of div tags -- the most prominent I can remember now being Cisco. I don't feel guilty about using tables now. :). One of the arguments made here was that search engine traversal may be difficult -- but, google asks not to use frames, not tables. Thomas

Yeah, there are a lot of sites that use tables for layout as most sites did in the older days. Once CSS got a foothold, the table layout method really got the short end of the stick. One huge problem with tables is that in some browsers, the browser will not even display what is contained in the table until the entire contents of the table is read in and parsed. This would the page appear to load very slowly compared to div based layout. I have also heard, but cannot say for sure, that a number of devices for the visually impared do not handle page layout with tables very well. Anyway, if you use tables for layout, it is handy to specify "border-collapse: collapse;" to allow some browsers to render before the full content is loaded. P.S. I also agree with others that you should use some padding on the text, it seems to be very close to the borders. White space can be a friend :)

Thanks for all the information.

Yes. I am working on that. Even with the small changes I did till now, the site looks much better. When horizontal padding is increased, either the page width had to be adjusted or some images had to be made a little smaller. I hope to get it right today. Thomas
