Thanks for the compliment.

I had strict on for a while and could not make it pass. It's definitely
something I want to work toward though.

That's me all the way! This is my first major web project and I just
couldn't get a handle or control of <div> and float. It is something I
want to learn more about and convert that way. Tables were much easier
for me to understand. But I'm learning!

Others have commented the same. I'll fix both. Don't know if I can get
to 16px. You know I based some of this by looking at the ever popular
websites (yahoo, amazon, etc) and they run super small fonts. But I
agree that ABAP (as big as possible) should be the rule.

This is something I could never get to reconcile between IE and Firefox.
Firefox shows it right but IE has this problem. I could tweak it and
get the reverse behavior, but because I develop in FF so I left it this
way so that I would not have to look at the problem (I know, most of the
world uses IE -- for now!)

Others have mentioned this. I'm going to try to get rid of the JS and
hopefully can fix the menu item border issue at the same time.

Yep. Someone else mentioned that too. I never tried but I'll see if I
can fix it.

Nice checklist. Glad to see I'm most of the way there.
Thanks for the feedback.
