When one does a lot of validation, having to scroll to find out whether the page is valid is very inconvenient. With Lynx, it's even more inconvenient, because not much fits on a typical 25 line terminal. With the current :8001 configuration, the navitation stuff (that CSS would put on the right-hand side) takes up almost the full screen in a 25 line terminal. Thanks for the 'skip navigation' link, BTW! Of course, if the `This Page Is Valid' text were moved to the top, right under the <h1>, the arrangement of the whole rest of the page would be less imporatant in this respect. -- Thanasis Kinias Web Developer, Information Technology Graduate Student, Department of History Arizona State University Tempe, Arizona, U.S.A.
