Hi Pete,
Also I think it is a bit crowded on the page. Almost every px is text,
no space to breathe! The paradox is, that there is a lot of unused space
around the fixed width/height wrapper. Should be used! :-)
According to this, I made a try to liquidize the page. In the meantime
some (easy repeating) styles for the content items added.
* This was my starting point
<http://home.tiscali.nl/developerscorner/css-discuss/test-fresh-o-gazetteer-color2.htm>.
* And this is the liquidized testpage
<http://home.tiscali.nl/developerscorner/css-discuss/test-o-gazetteer-liquid.htm>.
* Some comments are in the stylesheet
<http://home.tiscali.nl/developerscorner/css-discuss/sheets/marylebone-liquid.css>.
Attention: this is only as example. The testpage is a half product, not
yet finished (search block still to be made liquid, fine tuning here and
there, IE errors/bug to be repaired, and so on).
So: view in FF or Opera, not in IE (peekaboo'ing)!
Greetings,
francky
