Please look at my website Hotelbooklet.com - compare hotel rates of more than 30 popular reservation sites and tell me what needs to be improved! Thank you for your time!

enars,
I took a quick look at your site in FireFox, IE 7 and Opera. The overall visual impression is decent and also consistent between the browsers. You might want to run the site thru the WC3 HTML validation ([Invalid] Markup Validation of http://www.hotelbooklet.com/ - W3C Markup Validator) and see if you can fix any issues found there (20 when I checked). Internet Explorer doesn't like your javascript for some reason so you may want to check into that. Also instead of having the "find cheap hotels" section hidden I would leave that open so that users will not have to click on it to see it. Many may not realize that clicking it doesn't go to an ad or another site.

Hi Enars,

It all worked well for me I checked the info for Aqaba, Jordan where I am based and it was better than other similar sites.

On the coding side why a frameset doctype on the home page?? Also there seema to be a weird mix of css and tables in the layout - why not just use all css for layout this helps the download speed of the site. As people will tend to look at this when travelling - how does it diplay on a smalkl screen mobile device??

Not in my office so cant check that at the mo but something to check with a travel site!

I fixed some errors but still have some left although I tried to change the doctype to frameset and back. As long it works fine in browsers I don't think that is too important. I also made "find cheap hostels" visible to visitors. Thank you for this suggestion. Regarding that javascript error - it is a script provided by hostelsclub and I have no idea what could be wrong. I'll try to get in touch with them.

That's strange that you couldn't use "compare hotel rates" form. It is an iframe form hotelscombined and it should work.

Regarding the mix of tables and css - I wanted to make everything in css but it seemed that it takes much more work to position all div elements as I wanted. I guess some things still work easier with tables for most browsers. Frameset is used to hide my hotel and hostel affiliate URLs and keep my website in the address bar.
By the way, interesting idea about mobile devices. I will check that.

Dont worry, it took me three attempts to get my layout out of tables before I managed it to get it to look how I wanted across all browers! It sort of clicked on the third attempt so I was controlling the code and not the other way around - ie making compromises because thats all I could get it to do!

Great idea on your site and it does seem to work better than other similar sites.

I managed to recreate my website design without tables (except the booking form). It wasn't that hard actually Thanks for support!
