OK, I think this looks fine.
I've significantly updated the pages since this afternoon. They now
correctly parse using http://validator.w3.org with the exception of the
FAQ page which appears to be auto-generated from elsewhere.
The only error that I know of is that the Lorenz Attractor on the main
page needs to move to the far right corner. Let me know if you see
anything else amiss. My goal with this version was to come very close to
the former page design using css instead of tables and explicit markup.
| There is still work to do in minimizing the number of tables, etc.,
Yes, it would be good to remove more of the explicit spacing calls.
Also, to make it a bit more idiot proof (especially for those idiots
like me who don't know much about CSS) we could use some comments in
the .css file that explain the intended use of each of the entries.
I've documented the .css file a bit, and I've added a few more classes to
it.
A separate question: I didn't even know that there was a text only
version of the page available before. Do you want to keep that version,
and does anyone use it? I would think that just by using good practices
(alt text on images, etc.) the regular version would work for both
graphical and text.
