Quick rebuild in 2.5 days. Not too chuffed as had to compromise with a hybrid layout, but am chuffed that it's the first SQL/ASP site I've built (ASP Sux BTW). Given it the quick once over, all seems ok in FF0.9.3 and IE6.

Just took a look, and rightly so too - thought I wouldn't say that the colour scheme was bad myself.
Do you recon they'd rip my simple little vice city one appart once it's done :)

Actually, I've seldom seen Tyla get really scathing about anything. I've always thought him one of the milder-mannered on this forum. And lets face it, not much of what goes on here is worthy of praise. This place is hardly flush with experts, and I include myself in that.

Have a look at these:
Zen Garden

CSS Vault

Some inspiring stuff. Keep meaning to enter the Zen challengs myself when I get the time.
Currently standards are restricted to current browser capabilities. Mozilla for instance can support a lot of CSS3 features (used as -moz) including radius, opacity and multi layered text.
Working with standards is still quite in its infancy. Focus at the momemnt it to adopt them and understand why there's the need, eventually, with this comes the creative side as people experiment with how far they can be pushed.
Again, CSS is still quite young. It's only been the last year or so where it's finally been accepted as a useable medium, so again it's a case of understanding and learning before pushing boundaries.

I've just bought the Zeldman book, should make an interesting light read.
The thing with standards and adhering to them is that most "good" sites have near the same layout - compare and contrast with Zeldman's own site with other CSS friendly ones; stylish font, 3 boxed layout, smallish text with obligatory picture in top left with words over it: it's good to have standards, but as the web is also a creative medium, it's also advised there should be differently designed sites, as long as navigation isn't ascrificed too much for the sake of it.

Tyla (and many others) criticise websites because: -
A) He knows what he's talking about
B) He is more then willing to help people improve through the medium of criticism.

Opps, that'll be ny n00b ASP skillz!!, rest of the errors were invalid closing tags (or lack of) Should be fine now. (homepage anyway)
Got a good response from DO, so quite chuffed with it now.

Just to let you know you've got 26 markup errors - and you seemed to have lost it with the links under the

heading - you've got wild numbers hanging outside of each href. Aside from that though, no problems from where I'm standing, looks good and appears easy to use.
OK...
Fixed ALL Alt's
Fixed ALL titles
Fixed formatting on region.asp & vacancies.asp
Fixed tab display bug in main Navigation
Fixed link hover states
Fixed invalid closing tags on img, input and br (possibly missed one or two)
Removed inline styles
Navigation images re-optimized to 450 bytes each
Borough Council photos have dissappeared in to the ether. There's no record of them in the CMS, getting client to reload them.
That should be it.

I have no issue with Hmmm...'s approach at all. At least he's providing feedback all be it, sometimes from a sarcastic point of view. I do however prefer "constructive" critisism, which is something I try to do myself, general flaming isn;t constructive, though can be funny some times.
Todays job... fix alt's, formatting and remove inline styles.
FWIW, this isn't the only forum I use for comments as cjh knows.
