New Layout

[Skatecrazy1]

Hi, please give opinions, this is the new layout for my website, just finished it, looks alot cleaner than the old version.  Took me awhile, was having problems with HTML, and XHTML validation.

[url=http://www.snapskate.com/v2]http://www.snapskate.com/v2[/url]

if you're wondering why I have only one box in each column, I just use images as backgrounds for my td's, in other words I'll add more later, this is just a sample.

Why have a validation link when it's not valid.
2. The xhtml is valid that's good.

Good things about it-
I like the logo/banner(color combination), the whole thing looks nice.
Nice overall color combination to the website itself

I think it might be a little bland, if there was something you could do to "spruce" it up, I don't think it would hurt at all, but overall pretty good.

dunno about other browsers, but there's a break in one of your bars. I'm on Safari (Mac) here. i've attached screenshot.

And there is a flaw in IE6 with the left Menu header.

Well as far as the invalid CSS, it's not my CSS, it's due to the validator not being up to standard:

read this article and you'll understand: [url=http://www.elementary-group-standards.com/css/css-validatorinduced-errors.html]http://www.elementary-group-standards.com/css/css-validatorinduced-errors.html[/url]

I hear you on the safari problems, I go on the macs at my school and see that and I can't seem to fix it... I'll have to deal with that later

the IE6 thing isnt that big of a deal to me, i've tried to fix it but keep getting weird results,

thanks for the input, any more is appreciated.

p.s. hopefully people will start getting IE7 when the final release comes out (the new version has CSS fixes that make the output very similar to FF)

There is problems with the bar in Opera 9.02, Firefox 1.5.0.7 and Internet Explorer 6 on Windows as well. And another thing: [quote=your site]OPTIMIZED FOR Firefox[/quote]
Do [i]not[/i] optimize it for a specific browser! You need to make it work properly in [i]all[/i] browsers.

I agree with Daniel. Although I fully support the spread firefox movement - websites need to be designed for all clients IMO. I know someone who designed for Firefox - never tested in IE - and guess what - it was completely messed up. Websites need to be tested in ALL browsers - including safari.

um, I know what you mean, and let me explain

if you make your html and css valid, most cross-browser compatibility is covered
there are a couple things that take extra fixing.

as for safari, I don't own a mac, so I really have no way to test it.
