75 years ago Lida Rogers, founder of Tulip Time, pursued a dream to beautify the community. In the fall of 1928, a quarter of a million tulips were planted, and in May 1929, Tulip Time officially began. Now in 2004 we will mark the 75th anniversary of the Tulip Time Festival.
I’m also happy to announce the re-launch of tuliptime.com which went live the other day. After two months of strategic planning, various design stages, programming and pulling my hair out I was finally given the go ahead to push the site live earlier this week.
The site is done completely in XHTML 1.0 and CSS without the use of tables and other nasty code that had plagued their site in earlier days. The ecommerce areas are sadly another story and produce undesired code and reprogramming the backend system isn’t an option (as much as I would love to get in there and fresh’ in things up).
The design of the site is a mix of 2 designers, myself and the Tulip Time Festival, Inc. board of directors. As I have pointed out above, this is version 1.0 and many new things are to come. Next year we have plans to do much cleaner design that will immensely improve usability and accessibility of the site.
So take a look around and let me know what you think. It’s still a work in progress and new areas will be added throughout the next couple weeks but overall, this is what Tulip Time Festival Inc. was looking for and I’m happy to have worked along side them to develop such a wonderful product.

Add to the discussion.
Nice Site
Otherwise;
Validator says no keyword “value” in Select Statement. Keeps it from beind “valid HTML 4.01”
By the way, the doctype shows
Am I looking at the wrong page, or a cached version?
yea - there must have been a server cache. I took care of the problem and it should be an XHTML header now.
The Validator note you mentioned I’m familiar with but don’t know how to get around that just yet. If you know - please fill me in. Otherwise, I’m sure I’ll find it somewhere on the web.
I’m also having a small problem with the CSS validator due to the IE5.0/Windows Band Pass Filter Hack. I’ve tried using [CDATA[ to hide it from the validator but that doesn’t seem to be working for me.
Yes - I know there’s no value attribute in the select. The reason I did that is because of some Javascript.
When someone selects an item, I want it to go to the page without them having to push a go button.
Any other ideas? I’m thinking about just changing it to have php do it but don’t know how without using a submit button.
Please Select

Sorry, that post was not clear.
remove the value=go part. itdoes nothing.
(change onClick to onclick)
Add the button with the value=go in a noscript tag.
tested valid.
That worked perfectly. Thanks a ton Bill :-)
Now for that little CSS validation problem. I have a couple ideas - so we’ll see what happens there.
I don’t believe that this is supposed to be there:
@m;
(followed by)
@import ‘/css/ie.css’; /*”;)
)/* */
