Re: A page with no tables, please take a look

Hi Dale,

the page looks fine in Opera 7.54 as well.
Congratulation :-)

Let me just point out some minor aspects concerning styling and markup  
which you could improve.

-  While your effort in separating content and style by avoiding  
table-based layout is one of the most important issues, you could even do  
better by first getting rid of all those HTML attributes you still use  
(although you might deliberately have included these to cater for very old  
browsers). And in a second step try to even get rid of inline styles and  
put everything concerned with the appearance of your page in the external  
stylesheet. The benefit is enormous as your page will only contain clean  
and easily maintainable markup while you will always be able to change the  
appearance just by editing the style sheet.

- The following line is too much ado about a simple heading:
       <div class="heading"><B>SELF HEALING AWARENESS WITH EFT</B></div>
As it actually _is_ a heading, why don't you mark it up as a heading:
       <h1>SELF HEALING AWARENESS WITH EFT</h1>

- It is good practice to always specify a character encoding with your  
document, like:
       <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;  
charset=iso-8859-1">
Actually, it is not valid otherwise.

- Andrew already mentioned it, and I would like to stress the issue of  
font sizes. The pt unit is an absolute length which is highly dependable  
upon the output medium. For more information about lengths see:

       http://www.htmlhelp.com/reference/css/units.html#length
       http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/syndata.html#length-units

That's enough criticism for the time being. I think you did a great job  
and wish you the best success.

Cheers,

jens
