I would like it if you could go to this site and send us some feedback on it from the point of view of a user. This site is part of my website design course work, a small part but I need feedback from at least three people. Please use the feedback form on the site. Thanks in advance to all of you who send feedback. Also can you add what your screen size is.

Bad news. That is death to any site. Why should I adjust my browser to suit you?
Almost as bad as using some of the non-standard IE extensions, thus locking out users of other browsers.

The idea of HTML is to design the page so that it will display the way you want, regardless of the device used to view it, such as speech browsers, as used by the blind.

I agree that making the site look good in any browser, and at any resolution can be difficult if there is complex tabulated information to display, but that is half the fun.

Apart from that one thing on the home page, I saw nothing that would not actually display at 800*600.

This site is best viewed with a screen resolution of 1024 x 768 it's actually mean't as a recommendation not as requirement for you to view the site.

I know your right about it being the death of a site but it's what they ask for in the specification and if I want to pass the course I have to do what the specification ask me to do. The specification for the course was written in 2000/01 for the september 2002 course onwards and it is already classed as out of date but they are not going to alter the specification because the law says they can't before 2006/07 and the course is to be changed, new name, new specification, new qualification in 2007.

Also anyone who wants to give feedback has to use the feedback form on the site. Sorry but it says that in the specification. I still need 2 more responses.

Feedback form (http://www.anzwers.org/free/galciv/Feedback.html)

If you don't want to fill in your name or e-mail on the feedback form you can leave them blank or enter something like none or anonymous.

Also they don't even ask for the source/html code as evidence for a website design unit, which I think is very stupid but does give me a lot of more time to spend on other stuff because I don't have to tidy it up.
