Keith please note that I have snip the larger part of this thread. you
the [snip] and reply to the relevant parts. You site is now off-line so
I would not know what David has already helped you with.
Browser reports on what I did see.
Firefox 2 and IE7 and Safari 3: The marquee covers the search button. A
marquee is proprietary code. I don't know what other proprietary code
was there.
Opera. Hovering the dropdowns menus causes the whole content to drop out
of view.
IE8: A disaster. Broken pieces here and there. I would say this is since
you have this.
<!--[if IE]>
<style type="text/css" media="screen">
#topMenu ul li {float: left; width: 100%;}
#topMenu {height:5em;}
</style>
<![endif]-->
This [if IE] statements will apply the style rules within to every
version of Internet Explorer. Very dangerous.
IE6: The multi marquee is covering the content on the right.
IE5.5: The multi marquee is covering the menu on the left.
The page breaks in every browser when you bump up the text size. I
wouldn't know which browser the page was tested in but adding a Doctype
would have stopped the page being in quirks mode. Even IE8 in quirks
mode appears the same as IE5.5.
As a whole the layout is reasonable and things can be fixed but first
all the mis-targeted [if IE] must go (David has helped you here),
marquee removed, and javascript removed that is not require for the
search button.
The top menu has 213 links (I think). Some of these links you have to
use the mouse scroll wheel while hovering the menu to access the links.
Being at the top I would expect this menu to be the main menu of the
site but you have many external links which should be listed in
un-styled list on there own individual pages. The site navigation seems
to be on the left. Moving on to another page I am presented with this
massive confusing navigation again.
Apart from the browser issues this site is in essence un-accessible. You
would only have a minority of users who would ever browse the site. Most
users would leave straight away.
Some question that could help us help you (***snip above***).
1. Do you have access to the server?
2. Is the server Apache or Windows?
3. How many pages does this domain actuality have?
4. Would you like users who are not into scouting wanting to browse the
site out of interest?
When replying to my question, remove very thing above the words (***snip
above***). Also please keep the site life so others can help. I can't
help at this point on the code since it's off-line.
