Longevity matters
Welcome to all those coming from Zeldman. I have heard from a few visitors about some bugs in Mozilla with “text zoom” and Opera 7 display problems. When we tested the site, we tested it in IE 5.5 and Mozilla 1.x, we understand that there will be a few glitches here and there with other browsers and we will be considering them as we continue. The american longevity demographic only had two concerns. 1) What if someone didn’t have the flash plugin. You will notice that the user won’t notice if they don’t have the plugin, as we used Drew McLellan Flash Satay method. 2)When a user prints a page they don’t want to have to print the nav and have it print on two pages when it could fit on one. A CSS print style sheet was obviously the answer. From there we just took it and ran with the architecture and design.
