Talking of this property I notice you use "scope" in <td>s as
well. This latter I have barely heard of. I roughly understand
"display" but have never once used it. Perhaps you have a
reason. I hope it is not because you feel you *must* use all
this fancy stuff for no specific reason? You need to have a
better perspective of what you understand. A lot can be done
with some smaller subset of things easy to comprehend and
clearly necessary.
Btw, about your side menu, I asked you before once why the
underlining? You have styled a simple list to go into coloured
boxes. Why this even? IMO, you need a better perspective of the
function and a better styling will result. For a start, it is
not such a menu that people will be visiting time and again to
navigate. It is just to set the language - to be used once and
that is that. So why so prominent a styling in boxes? At the
most, a simple text list will do (perhaps a heading to it to
draw attention), taking up less space. Consider even the most
basic JavaScript dropdown boxes seen all over for choosing a
country or postcode or whatever on so many sites for "use rarely
or just once" list of links).
The big heading with so many words in it looks a bit ugly, such
a mouthful, such an eyeful. Things are better designed to be
self explanatory without having to say in so many words what
they are, you already have a list of language links...
Considering that you are so busy with your business apart from
the website, have you considered using one of many templates
that can be had for nothing or even bought cheaply? Or finding a
basic one that you like and putting your own content in, offer a
fine Italian wine or full course dinner coupon to the owner for
the privilege?
What about Frontpage or Dreamweaver and you just concentrate on
design and ask for help on this (at perhaps a more appropriate
newsgroup or even this one?), you then just trust to the output
of the wysiwig (just see that it works in most browsers and be
done)
