Default Critique invitation!

Ello...

I've just finished the R&D phase of getting my new site styled and authored,
and am inviting anyone and everyone to poke around at the sample pages and
give a critique of the structure/css etc etc, before I go further and
develop the rest of the site. This time round I want to get it right!

Urls:

http://www.plankmeister.org.uk/new/admin_main.html

I've tested them in IE6, Op7, Firebird 0.6.1, Mozilla 1.4, Ns7 and they seem
to be pretty uniform... Haven't tested any any other browsers so if you find
any strange behaviours in your browser of choice, I'd love it if you could
take a screenshot and mail it to me (though I realise that's asking possibly
too much!)

IE6 -- 800x600 -- 17" screen -- Text-->'Medium'
---------------------------------------------------------

(1) Horizontal scroll needed

(2) Styling on H1 means that this heading is invisible to screen
readers-and voice-browsers; it won't be spoken, neither will it be seen
when using headings for navigation.

regards.

Oh poo... Of course. Need to allow for the vertical scroll... Thanks.

Just tried it in JAWS and it reads the H1 fine... Which readers/voice
browsers don't say/render display:none CSS selectors? Anyone know of a list
of 'em? I was thinking about setting the font-size to 0 instead of
display:none. Would this be a potential way around it?

I'm testing with IBM's Home Page Reader 3.021

What version of JAWS are you testing with? Does it see the H1 when
you're navigating in 'header mode' or whatever the JAWS equivalent is
called?

regards.
