Open House?
I'm still not ready to raise the curtain on the whole suite of Civic Forum Candidate Pages, but since I've noticed so many little differences by reviewing them in just two browsers, I wanted to get some initial feedback on one page. I can then tweak the CSS and/or markup based on your comments.
Oh, and by the way, I am planning to offer alternate stylesheets. How better to keep with the voting theme, than to have end users choose their preferred style? However, for today's preview, I'm only offering one.
The basic setup for all the candidate pages will be like so: at the top is a table of contents that houses references to all of the positions for the legislative body in question (so, in the case of the TN House, 99 seats). Click on the district number to visit that spot on the page. Under each position heading are three lists: Declared Candidates, Potential Candidates, Inactive Candidates. Each listed candidate has a spot for information about him or her, if any is known. I'm putting a "back to top" navigation after each position, so that you won't have to scroll to view, say, District 18's candidates and then District 97's.
Click here to view the prototyped next release of the Tennessee House of Representatives page, and then come back to add your comments. Criticism and suggestions are most welcome. The State Senate, US House, US Senate, Governor, and Hamilton County pages are pending this reader review process. Oh, and City of Chattanooga too, since we elect a judge or two next year.
Thanks in advance.
