more about html and web design than do I. (Which means just about

portfolio. I'm hoping to show it to some headhunters next week, but
I'm not sure if it works on PC browsers, etc. I already know that
the opening frame sound effect (a typewriter of sorts) doesn't work
on my version of Safari, although it does work on Explorer. The mpg
commercials and jpg print ads seem to open on both browsers. I'd
appreciate any feedback in regard to the way it works and anything
that doesn't seem to work. Design comments are okay as well,
although my daughter did it for free, so the price was right :-). I
will eventually assign a new url, buti t's here for now:

Opened fine for me (Firefox 1.5 on Mac OSX) and I got the typing
sound. (Also, it's a 1.5M/896K DSL line) I agree with someone else's
comment that it would be best if it didn't load a new instance of the
browser each time I click a link. Would be better if it just changed
the page and there was a forward/back button somewhere on the page.
All of the links (for example, on the Portfolio Print Gallery) have
the following tag on the end: target="_blank"
That statement is the one that says "don't load the new page in this
window - make another one". If you had those all changed to either
REMOVE the "target" statement part of the link entirely, it should
then load in the same page (but people would have to use their own
"back" buttons on their browsers to return unless each and every page
has some sort of navigation buttons added to it).
As for why the typing sound works for some and not others...? Heck,
I thought I'd be able to see it in the code, but I can't see where/
what is loading the sound. I can see that there is a pause/play
button in the lower left-hand corner after the page loads that lets
me replay the sound, so that's something. I can see that it is a WAV
file (typing.wav). 4 seconds long, 96k in size. Must be a
Javascript thing that is not working for some people - but that is a
wild guess.
