Re: dam-l http://www.sandelman.ottawa.on.ca/dams readability



Thank you for the feedback Dr. Nilsson. :)

I've made the background paler but am not sure if the links and visted links
colours are as good as they could be.  I think the problme seems to be getting
something that works with all sorts of different brightness and contrast
settings.

thanks again,

-Dianne
