My site is about high resolution 3D graphics and multimedia applications
mainly. It makes no sense to target hand-held devices, or blind people for
that matter in this case. Rather, on their high resolution monitors, which I
*know* my intended audience have, I want the site to look good.
Turns out lots of other people want their sites to look good too. Sure, many
avoid tables and style markup directly in the content, but they still use
loads of nested divs which have no purpose other than helping control the
look. What I'm saying is that I don't see how using tables is worse that
using all those leyout-specific nested divs.

Who does that? I find that most people love CSS, including me... I just take
certain liberties, that's all, but I still would hate to design a site again
without the aid of CSS.

And even if you do have a site that could be used by mobile devices, you
usually make a site dedicated for that device. I use mobile.msn.com (or
whatever it is) all the time on my phone to check my hotmail - it would be
totally absurd if it had all the same content as the main hotmail site, no
matter what layout was used.

And you use a fixed-width layout?
Your website is around half the width of my screen resolution, leaving a
lot of wasted space on the sides. Enlarging the fonts breaks the layout
quite a bit, since your rounded boxes specify sizes in pixels instead of
ems.

No, you have to invert it; move the link *inside* the heading.

Enlarging *just* the fonts breaks pretty much anything. Try using a browser
that scales the whole page properly, it looks nice at 200% here and fills my
monitor perfectly!

That would break the hover-effekt.

Are you using the :hover pseudo-class? AFAIK it can be used on any
element (like the whole rounded box), not only a link.

Be aware of some of the flaws in AlphaImageLoader that may still be
lurking around. Memory hits, links not working when positioned over some
images, can't be treated like a background image, obviously won't
validate. Doesn't look like you've got any of these problems from my first
glance (bar css validation), but if something goes screwy in IE around one
of these it'd be the first thing I'd look at.
Oh BTW like the lined background, which scrolls smoothly TYVM.

Three guesses which version of which browser only allows :hover on <a>
elements.

May have that - haven't checked.

There are workarounds for that, which I have used.
> can't be treated like a background image
Yep, can only be in the upper left corner and *can't repeat*. Which is why I
use border images in IE 6 that are 25 pixels by 30000 pixels to match some
of the very long boxes. :O Take no disk space at all, but may not be good on
memory... I wish I could find a better solution for that. Luckily, in all
other browsers, those images are never used.
> obviously won't validate.
Well, the IE 6 specific style sheet is inside a comment tag, so won't be
visible to validators or other browsers.

I seem to get rather slow loading of the pages, which may be caused by the
huge border images. I haven't observed any other problems.
