another site check

Anyone got any advice or comments on this one.

Would appreciate feedback on how it looks in other browsers as i have not had the chance to test yet, with the rush in getting it up for the season.

Tnx

looks good - nice consistent layout
the news link in the bottom right opens up in a pop-up (aaagggghhh). Also there is no scrollbar in Mozilla (needed as last 3 lines are hidden)
The latest news link (link @ top of pages) opens up a 'frame' with a link to the pop-up. Why not just display the article in the 'frame' where the link is?
The booking form looks for nationality - relevance?
Is the guestbook needed? I know where you are going with it (testemonials) but I associate them with either personal or tacky sites (just my €0.02).
Your DOCTYPE tag should go before all others within your HTML & the meta tags go in the HEAD section. Use the valudator on http://validator.w3.org/

The links at the bottom - tell a friend, favs, etc look to compressed, I'd change them to gifs rather than jpgs .

I'd also look at sorting out the bottom part. The drop shadow effect stops short of the bottom section. It also is inconsistent, where it doesn't need to be, with the front page.

Apart from that, lookin good

Why is it just a small box in the top middle of my 1280 x 1024 screen?

The animation on the front is very jumpy

There is a bug. If someone clicks on the tell a friend link they must enter data in the form to get out of the page, even if they clicked on the link by mistake.!

@mada99 - works ok for me (MSIE 6)

the guestbook - how does one sign it?

Couple of accessibility / standards related things:

Your menu links bar accross the top of the page could be recoded as a UL / LI list and styled to produce the same appearance (after all, it is a list of links)

You should probably only have the icons on the bottom bar as images, with the text as text - will help sc reen readers, and improve loading times slightly.

Why are you using tables for this - with a little bit of work you could convert this to a table-less layout.

Just one more point - the way you've restricted the height of the whole site, especially the main text area, makes the site look quite squashed on 1024X768, and I can only imagine that it looks worse in higher resolutions. It also forces people with bigger screens to scroll the text unnecessarily.

And finally, on http://www.19thgreen-bb.com/about.php
"the president of Ireland " Mary McAleese" where" should read "the President of Ireland, Mary McAleese, where".

If you put a 1 where you say, you'll be connected to a Dublin number, 643 2637.. which is wrong. You need to drop the 0 of the STD code, and not add any digit.

The original notation is also correct, as a lot of countries don't use 00 as their international access code (including the U.S.). One way a lot of people seem to be doing (particularly in mobile numbers) is +353 64 32868
