Lo all, just wanted a quick browser test on this before I get too far into development:

I've checked it in FF 1.0.2/Mozilla/Camino & IE 6.2, specifically loomking for a screener from Safari.

Cheers Tim, Safari was a major concern as it's not perfect but is used by a majority of Mac users today.

What font did you use for the welcome text?
And is the flowers picture just a photo which you've taken and cut around, or did you touch it up in an image editor?
What was your inspiration for this design?

Taken last summer in my father-in-laws garden. Pink Anenomes(sp?) Wrenched through photoshop to remove the background, cut out and a couple of colour filters added to turn them green.

Lots of coffee, 5 hours in photoshop, a touch of weed, 3 colours, the urge to produce something in xhtml 1.0 strict and the photo of the flowers. Plus the sudden realisation that if I'm going freelance 100% I really need to kick my @rse in to gear and get it done.

Looking more like Mon/Tues next week now due to a nightmare I'm having with trying to use the image replacement technique for form labels. Not even sure if it can be done, but bashing my head awayon my desk trying to figure it out.

If you look at http://dev.digital-prozac.co.uk/, the welcome text is done using CSS image replacement. The HTML still uses the

Welcome

, but the css replaces this with the Welcome image by using the image in the background of the H1 and moving the text out of the parent div...

Still with me?

If you disable styles, the h1 becomes working code again as well as being picked up in text browsers and SEO by default.

It's actually a very clever trick, but...

I was trying to adapt the same technique to replace form labels using

Oh I see - that's a very cool idea. I had noticed the

thing on your site when I visited actually.

If you do get the form labels working the same way, please let us know how - over the next few months I'm going to be helping build several totally accessible pages that still look good.

Hopefully, when done, they will be XHTML Strict, valid CSS and then Bobby, 508, and WCAG 1, 2 & 3 approved. Lol.
