- 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.
