(different browsers have different problems here, Internet Explorer's background colour overlays the right menu, in Opera 8.01 the background colour doesn't, either way, either all or part of the content is unreadable. It is served as text/html, yet fails to meet the requirements of Appendix C XHTML 1, which is what allows XHTML to be served with that mime-type, please make the content consistent with Appendix C. How is <p id="w3cnav"><a href="http://www.w3.org/">W3C Home</a></p> A paragraph? It's not even a sentence, please use appropriate semantic mark-up. (this error is repeated in other places) Whilst looking good in some user agents, it doesn't look very good in what is I believe the most commonly used user agent on the web today - the main content is very detached from its title and dashed lines overlap other content, it's not quite inaccessible on this user agent, but it gives a very bad impression that accessible pages look bad - it may be your decision to use XHTML and CSS 2 despite them not being supported on the user agent that's caused this. Please ensure that the content works with narrow viewports, and in popular user agents, using well supported technologies may help with this. Cheers, Jim.
