BiCon 2002 web pages

[ciphergoth]

I've been spending a little while obsessively tweaking the BiCon 2002 web pages, and I'd be interested to know what people think of them. Questions to ask yourself include

• Is it easy to see where you are and navigate your way around the site?
• Is the most important stuff the most prominent, the easiest to find?
• Does it all load fast enough?
• Was there anything confusing or misleading about it? Did you find yourself taking any wrong turns?
• Does it work OK with the browser you prefer?
• Are there any little irritations (or big ones) that I could fix?

but any comments you have on how the site might be improved would be most welcome. Thanks!

YAFIYGI - eh?

Shaded columns: I tried, and couldn't make it work. Eventually, I found that what I'd done worked under IE, and I've stopped trying - if anyone knows how to make it go under Mozilla, let me know.

Typo - fixed.

On-line booking form - planned. Trickier though!

"You Asked For It; You Got It" - WYSIWIG as implemented by, f'rinstnce, raw TeX.

Don't know what will and won't work for Mozilla, but putting bgcolor="#dddddd" (say) as an attribute in a {td} tag works on most things (although it's very hard to persuade Netscape-derivitives to reduce the spacing between cells to zero).

Ah, I used the more sophisticated COL tag stuff. I can't be arsed doing each individual column.

And Mozilla's rendering is pretty much unrelated to Netscape 4.x...
