First of all, thank you for your site. Is very helpful for all of us in the
web development world
Reading the section of Bad site design, I remembered a website of a local
"newspaper" (if you can call it so).
[URL]
Tip: First, open it in Internet Explorer. It looks nice, at least for me.
Then, open it with any other browser, and I mean any other. See the
difference
Maybe you don't want to make a review for all of the problems it might have,
it has to be a lot. But there is it, if you'd like to show it in your
website.
Again, thank you very much for giving us this page. I've learn a lot since I
found it, and I will recomend it to my friends.
Saludos

Surprisingly, it really doesn't have many bad mistakes at all (quite a
few validation errors, but they are not the cause of the problems). The
worst problem they have is that they clearly do not test in anything
except IE 7. (Earlier versions of IE have minor layout problems due to bugs.)
In anything else, including IE 8, one single mistake is responsible for
the entire layout mess:
<link rel="stylesheet" title="forever" href="..." type="text/css"/>
<link rel="stylesheet" title="normal" href="..." type="text/css"/>
Because those two have different titles, the second one is supposed to
act like an alternate stylesheet instead of a preferred stylesheet. IE 7
and earlier incorrectly treat them both as preferred stylesheets. If
they remove the title from the first one (which is what they actually
should have done), it works perfectly everywhere.
What's funny is that the stylesheet switcher doesn't actually do
anything useful anyway. In anything.
The only other failing I see is that they have a script that changes
opacity only in IE and Firefox, not anything else. But as far as I can
see, that script is never used.

Wow! it's like the butterfly effect :P. I never saw the source code, and I
thougt it could be something easy to resolve, but not that easy. Thanks
for the answer.
I have a question, it's for a site I'm doing now. How do you make the div
menu's height 100% in your page? I haven't found an answer. Maybe you can
help me.
Thanks

It's not exactly what I was looking for, it's much better. Thank you very
much.
