- Major update to the site's HTML code, 18.03.2012:
- All pages except the travelogues pages are now HTML 4.01 strict.
- In all pages except the travelogues pages CSS is now used
for layout instead of tables, except for the thumbnail tables, the
comment entry forms and a few other tabular data displays. The
thumbnail tables could be done with CSS instead of tables, but would
not properly display in IE7 because IE7 does not support some CSS tags.
- The Javascript dropdown menus have now been replaced with
CSS versions, which will also run with Javascript disabled. The main
benefit is the perfect alignment of the dropdown menus with the pages
of the site (previously the position of the dropdown menus would vary
slightly depending on the browser used). The small drawback is that
probably IE6 doesn't display properly the dropdown menus (haven't
tested it), but IE6 is on the way out with the market share below 1%
right now.
- New CSS dropdown menus for the categories and the
travelogues on the homepage of the site.
