<!-- ##### Main Copy ##### -->
<div id="main-copy">
<h1 id="introduction" style="border-top: none; padding-top: 0;">Introduction</h1>
<p>This is version two of Gila, a revision of the
<a href="http://www.oswd.org/userinfo.phtml?user=haran">original design</a> I submitted
to <a href="http://www.oswd.org"><acronym title="Open Source Web Design">OSWD</acronym></a>
in February 2003. Following is a summary of the major differences between this version and the
original.</p>
<p>Gila was inspired by the homepage of <a href="http://www.activestate.com">ActiveState</a>, an
open-source application development company. The name
<span class="titleTip" title="Gila monster: a species of lizard">Gila</span> is a play on the
word <span class="titleTip" title="Komodo dragon: another species of lizard">Komodo</span>,
the name of one of ActiveState&rsquo;s products which is based on
<a href="http://www.mozilla.org">the Mozilla project</a>.</p>
<p>This template is marked up in
<acronym title="eXtensible HyperText Markup Language">XHTML</acronym> 1.0 Strict and styled
with <acronym title="Cascading Style Sheets">CSS</acronym>, allowing for greater compatibility
and transformability. The design does not use any tables (unlike
<a href="http://www.activestate.com" title="ActiveState's homepage">the design&rsquo;s
inspiration</a>) resulting in greater design flexibility and cleaner code.</p>
<p>I hope you find this revision to your liking. You are free to use this design for
any purpose you wish &mdash; personal, commercial or otherwise &mdash; without any
obligation. If you publish a web site that&rsquo;s based on this template, please
<a href="http://www.oswd.org/email.phtml?user=haran" title="Email form">email me</a> your
site&rsquo;s <acronym title="Uniform Resource Identifier">URI</acronym>.</p>
<h1 id="cross-browser">Improved Cross-browser Compatibility</h1>
<p>I did not test version one of Gila in Opera before submitting it to OSWD. As a result, the
original does not render properly in that browser. In contrast, this version of Gila has been
fully tested in <a href="http://www.opera.com">Opera</a> (7.01), Gecko
(<a href="http://www.mozilla.org">Mozilla</a> 1.3) and Internet Explorer (6.0) for consistent
rendering.</p>
<p>This means that people using <span class="titleTip" title="eg: Mozilla 1+, Opera 7+, Netscape 6+, Internet Explorer 6+">standards-compliant browsers</span>
will see the same format and layout of your page.</p>
<h1 id="stylesheets">Modified Stylesheets</h1>
<dl>
<dt>More comprehensive screen stylesheet</dt>
<dd>The improved cross-browser consistency is a result of Gila&rsquo;s more comprehensive screen
stylesheet. Major style parameters are explicitly defined in the stylesheet, resulting in
less dependence on browser-determined defaults and thus fewer rendering idiosyncrasies.</dd>
<dt>Removal of colour scheme stylesheet</dt>
<dd>I&rsquo;ve removed the separate colour scheme stylesheet found in the original version,
instead incorporating the colour definitions in the single screen stylesheet.</dd>
<dt>Addition of a print media stylesheet</dt>
<dd>Gila now has a print media stylesheet that styles the page in a format appropriate for
black and white printing. To see the effect of this stylesheet, select
<span class="smallCaps">print preview</span> from the <span class="smallCaps">file</span>
menu, or direct this page to a printer (NB: print only this frame if you are viewing this
template in a multi-frame document).</dd>
</dl>
<h1 id="accessibility">Improved Accessibility</h1>
<p>This version of Gila has improved accessibility features for people with impaired vision.
The template tentatively conforms to the <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG10">
<acronym title="Web Content Accessibility Guidelines">WCAG</acronym> double A rating</a> and
<a href="http://www.access-board.gov/508.htm">&sect;&nbsp;508</a> guidelines for web content
accessibility. The relative simplicity of the template&rsquo;s underlying markup ensures that
your page can be easily transformed for rendering in aural, tactile (braille) and other
non-visual user agents.</p>
<p>Additionally, the majority of document metrics (widths, lengths and spacings) are font-size
relative. This means that a user can increase the default font size of your page (using their
browser) without compromising it&rsquo;s layout.</p>
