Page 1 of 2 Known for its highlands, scenery, and forests, the Black Forest in Germany is a popular center of tourism. When someone mentions Black Forest to me, however, I always think of the wonderful cake or waltzing by the beautiful Blue Danube. Now I am going to give us all something else to think about, too, and that's the latest CMX JumpStart Black Forest.
CMX JumpStart Black Forest is a centered, two-column, fixed layout in the new wider 960 pixel range width that many designers are now using. The tabbed navigation uses the popular Sliding Door technique. The header features a logo with the text placed on a circular path to make it easy to design an attractive logo for your site. The main content resides in the left column, and a Digg content sharing menu occupies the right column.
The JumpStart includes a main style sheet, an Internet Explorer style sheet, and a Design Time Style Sheet (in case your version of Dreamweaver makes the layout difficult to edit in Design View).
Of course Black Forest meets the W3C standards for CSS and XHTML, as well as the WAI accessibility requirements, too.
