Actually, I used a SPAN tag with an inline style. It displayed as expected until I refreshed the page.

Hah! So is embedded HTML a "feature"? :)

[quote]A quick question about the colors of fonts, did japantoday run a usability/accessiblity test to see if those with sight problems can see them?[/quote]
I imagine this site would work just fine with a text-to-speech reader, and seriously, if your vision is so bad that you can't make out these fonts, you should be using one or switching to a lower resolution.
I'd also like to follow up my previous post with a bit of sympathy for the developer(s). We shed a lot of blood, sweat, and tears to roll out a brand-new Intranet site at my previous workplace, and the above comments reminded me of the first weeks after we went live. Overhauling a site like Japan Today is no small task, and minor tweaks notwithstanding, I think they've done a great job. I'll also mention that the layout is much better than anything I've put together (although I'm generally more focused on the back-end stuff).
To youngfook and anyone else involved in the development process, keep up the good work :)
PS: Just wondering if this will work...

Doh--first sentence should read "(i.e. &)"
I like the AJAX submit form, too :) Just noticed that.

Just a bit of technical nitpicking, but the main paige fails W3C validation with 7 errors, mainly due to unescaped ampersands (i.e. &). E-mail me and I'll be happy to provide a quick ASP script to handle that.

From a technical standpoint, I like it; totally DIV-based layout, clean code, and (mostly) standards-compliant.
Feature-wise, it's a bit lacking/in need of fine-tuning, but that's to be expected with any major redesign. I imagine everything will be nice and smooth within a month or so.
