I've finally finished http://www.FrenchBanknotes.com/ - a personal site of a paper money collection. The whole thing is driven off an XML dataset of the various banknotes, and sorted several different ways for presentation. Much of it was a learning experiment to get me into an XML project.

One thing I'm not completely thrilled with is the solution I'm using for the hover-over pop-ups, say on the biographies on the Artists pages. It looks good, but doesn't validate because I have a <div> inside an <a href>. If anyone has a good answer for this, I'd gladly listen. I'd prefer a CSS solution over JS though.

Another glitch is that sometimes those biographies come up already displayed, the first time you bring up a page. Hitting refresh fixes things. Not sure why this is, but perhaps it's something to do with the <div> issue above.

Anyway, any solutions or comments are gladly taken :)
