So I have been working on this site now for about a week - and I hammered out most everything and have it working fairly well - perfectly in safari...
I still have a few problems - mostly in the navigation bar. Here is a quick breakdown of how the nav bar actually works: it is an unordered list, coupled with a few nested unordered lists. The css changes the top level list items into the top level of the navbar. When you hover over one of the top level list items, it reveals the unordered list nested within the list item.
I got the navbar to work perfectly in mozilla and safari 1.0 (a panther check would be great), but there is just one problem with IE 6 XP. It chokes on the css display: table; and display: table-cell;, which happens to be essential to the menu. When I set display to inline for the list items instead of table-cell, the menu works fine in IE 6 XP, but it wrecks the whole sub menu thing. Any help in this aspect would be great.
The other problem that's staring me in the face is that the skip link anchor at the very top under the header works just fine until I apply the css to it. All I do to my knowledge is float it to the left, give it text-decoration: none, and give it a :visited and :hover states. But in both safari and mozilla the link becomes just plain text, and I can't click it. It works in IE 6 XP.
Also if you could check out just the general layout and give me some general design tips, that would be great. I'm trying to get a little better at the whole visual design aspect of things, because all I can really visualize is fairly bland (or minimalist, if you prefer, but not in a good way.)
