[jQuery] Re: High Point Village Website
Thanks for your feedback. With this project we wanted to create something that was interesting to but still functional without reliance on either JS or Flash. The end result, I hope, is a website that is functional and fully styled without JS turned on. With JS turned on, the site becomes more interactive and hopefully more engaging. For users with Flash 9 or above, more functionality is exposed, for example music, animated tooltips and the red people. What we didn't want was for any of the functionality to be dependant on Flash, that's where we draw the line. In hindsight the home page scroll would have been a lot smoother and consistent across browsers, if done in Flash. That said, I'm still very happy with the result. I'm not sure what you mean by the "background fades" bug, but I have discovered the random woman between animations. Thanks again.

nice work, i like it! without going into details of programming, the site differs from that classic style often seen nowadays on many websites... you know what i mean... buttons, tabs... i like the big graphics in the backgrounds... best regards m cologne On Jan 30, 2:38 pm, kim3er wrote: > Thanks for your feedback. > > With this project we wanted to create something that was interesting > to but still functional without reliance on either JS or Flash.

[jQuery] Re: High Point Village Website
Thanks for the feedback. Things get a bit shaky in FF2 & FF3, I understand this is because FF redraws every frame of an animation. The sole occasion I've encountered when ie6 provides a better end result, though I'm sure Mozilla have there reasons. In order to improve things on the home page, a couple of the flash elements have been disabled including the flash tooltips, which have been replaced with JS versions in FF and non flash browsers.

Thank you for the feedback, it really is very much appreciated. I'm aware of the considerable amount of requests, especially with respect to the amount of JS files we have referenced.

Hi ksun, Thanks for the feedback. There are two intros, one constructed in JS and one for users with flash installed, browsers with JS disabled will not see an intro. I have tested the intros in ie6, ie7, ie8rc1, ff2, ff3, s3, c1 and 09, across XP, Vista, OS X and Ubuntu. Is your experiance contradictory to what I've stated above? If so, I'd be very interested any follow up information you could provide. The other browsers you tested the site on along with any user defined settings you belive are relevant.

[jQuery] Re: High Point Village Website
I also had that problem. Sometimes I hover a + and it doesn't slide down. Also experiencied two other bugs: - when you click the + button, the background fades from black again - inside a section like 'bar' or 'boutique hotel', when I click another section (gym/pool/etc), an unrelated image flashes in the background (a woman laying back in a chair) Very nice design. Do you develop in Flash too? Was it worth the extra work to do it all in JS? cheers, - ricardo On Jan 29, 6:54 pm, David Meiser wrote: > It has a nice user experience.

It has a nice user experience. However, you might want to think about the hoverintent plugin - things seemed "shaky" when I tried to click on them (eg - the animation kept moving when I wanted to hover over an item) in FF3.
