Hi,

Never mind the following, I missed the link in the first message.
------------------------

When I click on the link to get to the article for this thread, I just get the start of the thread. Does your bookmark still work, and if so, where does it point?

Thanks.

why I posted it.
good sound design practices that a lot of "professionals" have forgotten.
also good practices for people just starting to keep in mind.

it may be old, but it's still valid.
( designing for 640 by 480 isn't a big requirement now )

designing to scale effectively is the best way.
set your display to 800 by 600 for viewing a site you are designing, if it looks good then take resolution up higher.
it should still look good.

design it on 1280 by 1024 then view at 800 by 600 it doesn't scale as well.

use variable width fonts instead of fixed, so the font will scale effectively if the site visitor is using screen magnification, or lower resolution for ease of reading.

w3c.org has numerous links to sites about design, as well as the standards that should be followed for web design.
( xhtml with css, not html. )
even ways to get a site validated with scripting languages like php and asp.

while javascript is part of the standard, it is also an attack vector by the twits fishing, so i wouldn't recommend using it. ( or any other clientside scripting )
I have in the my links in my profile, including a site that will do dynamic menus with css, and no javascript.
