Good morning from Sydney, zacariaz. Perhaps you are using Google
to post messages? Please quote what it is you are replying to
first. This is a newsgroup and many of us have newsreaders, some
of us have online readers which do not store the contexts. It
helps to quote the relevant bits, things like who and what you
are replying to, the example url you are referring to, whatever
is particularly relevant.

There were some important issues, if I recall, about your coding
that, being a perfectionist, you would appreciate to look into. I
recall making some remarks. Which ones did you not quite
understand? I remember the font-size remark I think? You were
happy to specify font-size in pxs. This is not a good idea
because users of Internet Explorer cannot then easily change the
font size to suit their eyes. It also not a good idea because it
then lulls you into the bad practice of thinking you can control
a design this way, you think maybe the font is fixed and you can
fit it into yet another px dimensioned box (I recall your footer
being so dimensioned). But this is not so for many very good
browsers: the font size can be easily changed, the box will stay
fixed and the text will break out of the box. Not much good for
something like a footer in many designs!
