Is this website ok

Hi Friends,

So finally I worked on this website that I think is technically ok...
But may be there are other things I missed out???

I was surprised when the text actually resized in IE.

Looks real good! The only significant issue I saw was that the
"home/contact us/..." nav wrapped and overlapped the main container with a
single font-size increase.

I did not view all of your pages. All of thoese that I did view have
horizontal scrollbars; right-left scrolling is required to view these
pages. I think this is the result of the size and positioning of the
graphics at the top of the pages since none of the body text requires
scrolling.

I tested one page. Eureka!! A commercial page that validates with no
errors in either markup or CSS!!

Overall, the site is very well done.

- No background color specified for <body>.
- Font size is 80% of my preferred.
- The nav links at the upper right (top-links) wraps to the next line. (I
have a minimum font size set so I can read such text.) The result is black
text on dark green. Set the width in ems rather than px so it adjusts to
font size changes.
- Contact page: For a couple of the form labels, the colon (:) wrapped to
the next line. Just the colon. Either set the <td> to white-space:nowrap
or replace the space+colon with &nbsp;+colon.

Hi Jim,

I fixed the background color issue... and the top navigation...

Can you check that and let me know now?

Thanks!

Yes, those look fine now.

Other bits:
- The <h2> element has a text size the same as the main text. It should
really be larger, say around 1.1em or 1.2em.
- Also for <h2> add "clear:both" to the CSS ruleset. On the Fleet page the
"Reliability" heading sits next to the image rather than starting below it
(unless that is what you want?).
- On the home page provide a link to the Fleet page on the "Fleet" heading.

- Font size is 80% of my preferred.
- Contact page: For a couple of the form labels, the colon (:) wrapped to
the next line. Just the colon. Either set the <td> to white-space:nowrap
or replace the space+colon with &nbsp;+colon.
