Here's a precept to design websites by, from someone with expertise
and experience both:

Any site should be designed so that it's usable as a
dead file tree with no server-side smarts. Any sort of
active pages or search engines should be an add-on, not
essential.

Take a look at: http://home.earthlink.net/~mike.terrell/ if you
have a few minutes.

It is all written with Wordpad and uses a CSS to keep the design
uniform, along with a split Javascript to hide the E-mail address. I
use this simple format on all the pages I create. It is tested to
work with several older and current browsers, even though faults are
found when its run though one of the HTML verification sites. When I
correct the "Errors" it doesn't work with some browsers, so it will
stay the way it is, as long as most browsers will work with it.

You can still access the sites without CSS or Javascript enabled,
but you do lose some formatting and it takes longer to navigate the
site.

Michael, in FireFox (with Java), when I click on a link, then hit the 'back'
button on my browser, the text on the home page is visible for only the link
that I previously clicked. All the others are replaced by a straight line
within their respective windows. Reloading the page has no effect. I have
to click a link, then hit the 'home' link to reload the page in it's
original form.

Is this a known issue?
