 We'll take a look at those headers and see what we can do.

 Should page content titles be coded as H1 level and the side bar
 heading.at what level?  H2s?  In some ways it is almost like
 having TWO level 1 headings on the page -- the heading for page
 content and the heading for the sidebar.  Our current stylesheet
 relies on the sidebar menus being at the top of the HTML markup.  We
 know this is a problem for accessibility (needs a skip repeated
 navigation'), but we're not sure how best to resolve.  Does anyone
 have a suggestion?

Nothing wrong with having more than a single h1 on a page since that
is what the specs show in their example. You could achieve your goal
of h2 for the sidebar by using a double float right setup. That is,
float the main content right then float the side bar right. That also
neatly takes care of the skip-to-contents question since the content
will appear first in the code.

It's also a wonderful reminder of the power of css just watching
things reverse with a few quick editing changes.

Couple of small things relating to css. There are a couple of errors
in the .ul1 selectors. I think you are trying to comment out the
#margin-left using the #. In css the comments as in the /* stuff */
format. The other 'errors' are background color issues and not
something that matters.

Because you are using transitional doctype, fully valid, you get to
cheat a little. You've got some align attributes in the element
tags: align=center in a p tag for example. This works in transitional
but in fact is wrong. That's presentation and needs to go into the
styling. Similarly you have images which are align=right which
properly should be floated. It's usually better to play with floats a
bit until they make sense. If you try to change at this point it might
mess everything up. But it gives you something to do in your free
time.

Lastly, a point I'm almost loath to mention -- header order. There is
a note in the specs about having to use headers in their numerical
order h1 to h6 without skipping. While the note refers to some
people, it was once mentioned on this list best I can recall, that
those people are the IETF. So if appeals to authority are important to
you, that would matter.

What might matter more is that headers are generally taken to be an
outline structure for a page. If you accept this (it isn't specified)
then you have to rethink your column headings. Starting with h2 is
wrong. And it is certainly erroneous if you are doing it only for the
size effect of the text. Use bigger text instead. Again your practice
may be acceptable in transitional states. (Just as an aside there is
an old and what I find to be sterile debate about having more than a
single h1 per page -- the specs talk about sections and have two  h1's
in the example.)

Overall, it's a good effort and these are mostly minor issues which
familiarity resolves.

Looks good for me (FF 2.0.0.6 on Linux) - but the 3 column layout isn't 
3 column, what I assume would be the right column appears on the left 
side underneath the real left column.

Thanks David!  We appreciate your comments. I see what you mean about 
the three-column design.  We've decided to convert all of the 
existing 3-column layout pages to 2-column pages with the old 
right/left columns stacked on the left.  A classic case of what made 
perfect sense to us not being obvious to anyone but us.  Sorry for 
the confusion.

I'd appreciate comments on www.healthandsafetyformicrofirms.com 
if anyone has time.


There is no checkout at the moment and we're still uploading 
data and tidying up some of the data but some initial reactions 
please. You need to register to get inside the site but at the 
moment you can do that at no cost - ignore the cost that it 
shows if you register, it goes nowhere! I'll delete all names 
from the database before we go live in a few weeks.


Tens of thousands of small firms in UK have no HS system even 
though it is a legal requirement. (Must be in writing if there 
are five or more employees). Most think it is too costly to 
bring in professional help to set one up - this is an attempt 
to tap that market.


Thanks for any comments - good bad or indifferent!

Peter MacGregor
PS - the ads are purely for testing purposes at this stage!



Peter,

If you are part educating to the fact of responsibility should 
the first line of text to meet the eye be:


'Are you meeting your legal Health and Safety responsibilities? 
Your answers are here.'


What the hell is a 'microfirm'?  One that makes computer chips? 
;-)  i.e. are you speaking to fellow consultants or small 
business owners and club secretaries?


In the pink slab too, drop micro.

The more I'm reading the more I think you need to spend a penny 
or two and get an ad/sales/marketing writer to sharpen this up. 
It is a description, but not a sales tool.   I'm no expert that 
way, but I am picking up changes needed every half sentence.


Those you are addressing are not going to be the same people who 
attend conferences, or who spend half their life on courses. 
They won't have the 'bizspeak'.


Layout and colour seems to me good and easy to follow.   I am not 
sure that the right hand column has the right list;  or maybe it 
needs an intro of a dozen or so words.   'Everything your 
organisation does is subject to Health and Safety law.   Here is 
a list of many aspects to be checked.'


Sorry, can't spend time inside the site, but this is the page 
that should get people to stay.

that is probably the effect you want on the home page. But maybe a
little less busy on other pages might be good?

Once someone starts looking through the categories, might it not be
helpful to drop the left column? You've got Login and Membership at
the top and I imagine it would be triggered when they go to check out
as well. Or perhaps add some elements of the left column to the
lighter red menu preceding the content? This way you are down to two
content content columns -- documents and categories. Much easier on
the eye and as a user I think I'd likely be ignoring the left column
while looking for my documents.

Oh and is the Unauthorized Copy splashed across the documents on
even the downloads? Here that might create the impression that there
is something wrong with the document.

Good luck with it.

Hi Peter,

Well, my first look says wa to busy 
looking.  I think maybe there's to much of the 
same look all over.  Perhaps if you break it up 
a little bit by saying putting a bg color in the 
right or left cells?  I don't think I'd go w/red 
but maybe - I'd have to play w/it. Just seems to 
need some breaking up for the visual.  The grey 
on this page might do it: 
http://healthandsafetyformicrofirms.com/index.php?main_page=indexcPath=4 
or a lighter grey.


I think I'd also change the light pink to very 
light grey - the pink is a little hard on my 
eyes anyway and since this is not strictly a 
female site - I'd try to get a more uni-sex color combo going.


I'll pass these comments on to the programmer 
working with me. Perhaps we'll introduce them in v2 - there's loads more to do!




I like the logo :)

My feeling when I view it is governmental so 
if that's what you're shooting for then in my opinion you hit the mark.


In act I am looking for reflected glory from 
the UK Government site - trying to indicate we 
know what we're about! Governments of course will 
never endorse anything officially, but I've 
worked with the HSE and a County Fire Service and 
have run the site past my contacts there 
unofficially and the feedback was positive.




Question, is this all set in a Zencart template or is the cart separate?


No - it's all done in ZenCart for speed but 
again, once we're earning money (hopefully!) we'll consider options.



Looks like a huge undertaking - I wish you the best of luck!


This in fact is going to be one section of my 
overall site dealing with a number of areas of 
business from which I've earned money over the 
past 17 years. My main domain is ranworth.co.uk 
but at the moment that just shows an earlier 
version of this. In a few weeks I'll be reloading 
that with my old site content and a link to this 
one. Then work starts on the rest to provide a 
Corporate Look and Feel across the other 
sections. We then plan to come back to this to do 
the same here - but that is probably a year away 
given the amount we have to do on the rest first!


Cheers

Peter

Peter,

If you are part educating to the fact of responsibility should the 
first line of text to meet the eye be:


'Are you meeting your legal Health and Safety responsibilities? Your 
answers are here.'


Good point - I'll revise text


What the hell is a 'microfirm'?  One that makes computer chips? 
;-)  i.e. are you speaking to fellow consultants or small business 
owners and club secretaries?


It's the official designation for firms employing less than ten people!



In the pink slab too, drop micro.

The more I'm reading the more I think you need to spend a penny or 
two and get an ad/sales/marketing writer to sharpen this up. It is a 
description, but not a sales tool.   I'm no expert that way, but I 
am picking up changes needed every half sentence.


The first iteration of this site was done by someone that said they'd 
use professionals to produce the text etc. In fact I ended up paying 
a significant sum of money and ended up with a site that was four 
months late being delivered, full of problems (links not working 
etc.) and earned absolutely nothing for me. Stage payments 
fortunately and the last not paid - but the perpetrator has vanished. 
As a result the budget is extremely tight now, especially as I've 
earned nothing for 12 months while nursing my wife who has terminal cancer.



Those you are addressing are not going to be the same people who 
attend conferences, or who spend half their life on courses. They 
won't have the 'bizspeak'.


OK - will consider that.


Layout and colour seems to me good and easy to follow.   I am not 
sure that the right hand column has the right list;  or maybe it 
needs an intro of a dozen or so words.   'Everything your 
organisation does is subject to Health and Safety law.   Here is a 
list of many aspects to be checked.'


Like that too!


Sorry, can't spend time inside the site, but this is the page that 
should get people to stay.


Joseph


Thanks Joseph.

Cheers

Peter

You've probably seen my response to Deb by now - aiming to freeload

No - that's just to stop rip-offs. I'll add a few words saying the

Good luck with it.

I've earned nothing for 12 months while nursing my wife who has 
terminal cancer.






Peter,

I thought this might be better off list.

I do understand such a situation and hope that all is going as 
well as can be expected.   What you are going thorugh is not only 
physically and financially draining, but emotionally too.   There 
is that wretched risk of exhaustion if you don't keep a good eye 
on your energy level.


And I wanted to wish you and your wife the best possible at this 
time, and good luck getting the site - and potential income - 
functioning soon.   Pity about the loss over incompetent or 
criminal work done for you.While I am no expert, if you want 
me to look at the words on the page after any fresh amending let 
me know.


Best wishes,

Joseph

[wdvltalk] Site Check Please

2007-08-21 Thread Peter MacGregor
I'd appreciate comments on www.healthandsafetyformicrofirms.com if 
anyone has time.


There is no checkout at the moment and we're still uploading data and 
tidying up some of the data but some initial reactions please. You 
need to register to get inside the site but at the moment you can do 
that at no cost - ignore the cost that it shows if you register, it 
goes nowhere! I'll delete all names from the database before we go 
live in a few weeks.


Tens of thousands of small firms in UK have no HS system even though 
it is a legal requirement. (Must be in writing if there are five or 
more employees). Most think it is too costly to bring in professional 
help to set one up - this is an attempt to tap that market.


Thanks for any comments - good bad or indifferent!

Regards

Hi Peter,

Well, my first look says wa to busy 
looking.  I think maybe there's to much of the 
same look all over.  Perhaps if you break it up a 
little bit by saying putting a bg color in the 
right or left cells?  I don't think I'd go w/red 
but maybe - I'd have to play w/it. Just seems to 
need some breaking up for the visual.  The grey 
on this page might do it: 
http://healthandsafetyformicrofirms.com/index.php?main_page=indexcPath=4 
or a lighter grey.


I think I'd also change the light pink to very 
light grey - the pink is a little hard on my eyes 
anyway and since this is not strictly a female 
site - I'd try to get a more uni-sex color combo going.

Re: [wdvltalk] Site check please

2005-03-06 Thread Ross Clutterbuck
Hi Stephen

As I'm at home to visit me mother for Mother's Day
I've just acquired my stepdad's old G3 iMac (shame
it's red not blue to match my glowing blue P4) but
it's more than enough to do my Mac testing on.

I will annoy the chief at work some more to get a Mac
mini or cheap iMac or SOMETHING to save us pratting
about and I think now with these minor Mac issues
arrising I have even more weight to my argument.

Now that I've seen Franni's screengrabs I would concur
that it's IE5's box model issues that are to blame -
with the padding and borders added to the various
panels I have on the site they're ended up too wide
for the width of the containing elements.

Annoying really because I've not specified prece pixel
measurements for my floated elements (I think I got
something like a 15px strip between my elements which
would cover any extra width rendering) and also I've
worked out a way I can still get precise pixel
dimensions without worrying about hacks - looks like
this time it's failed.

Thanks to all I've give you an update when this is all
finished.

Hi Ross,

Tested in Firefox 1.0 on Linux.

Looks *very* nice, very clean and professional.  Nice use of Flash too.  I 
really like some of the effects in the Flash bit, especially when you do the 
full view which lists each item.

I like the rounded corners on all the boxes.

On first sight, the 'video cd-rom web dvd' bit at the top right almost looks 
like it should be some form of navigation.

On the 'Our Services' page, I think the big space to the left of each 
paragraph looks wrong - it looks like there should be something there that's 
missing.

On the left nav, I feel that the link for 'IEI' should probably give a clue to 
what it is - 'IEI Newsletter' perhaps.

Over 4 days, two Maclagan film crews visited 18 pubs across the UK from 
Newcastle-upon-Tyne to Brighton, - oh what a job!  I want to work for these 
guys!!!

I'm sure you know, but trying to access 
http://www.themmen.co.uk/newsite/company/ gives a 403 error (prob no index 
page created yet).


Cheers

The fact that you're reading it, and thus being distracted by the Flash

RE: [wdvltalk] Site check please

2005-03-04 Thread Trusz, Andrew
MOU, you have 70 validation errors. They are in two principal groups. One is
the no such attribute problem. The other is the entity issue in the php
links. There is one error that seems to indicate you've used an id twice --
to the tower with ye!

Many of the attribute issues have to do with xhtml strict not working well
with other web addons such as flash and php. For example, in php you need
name for the database but xhtml strict only wants id. This cause validation
errors. Same thing with some of the flash.  

The entity problem has to do with the use of , the ampersand. Xhtml
doesn't like that. Use either the amp; or the html number #34; (source for
html codes is http://www.ascii.cl/ ).

To ease the attribute/id issue switch to a strict html 4.01 doctype. You'll
have to remove the / endings but that's easy enough with a search and
replace. I think this will also resolve the flash errors but I'm not
positive since I don't use flash (to me it rarely adds anything worth seeing
-- but that's just me).

Hi Ross,
I really like your FLASH =) I think overall it looks very sharp.  There are 
2 things I would change.  1) it's very narrow - I would widen it out a bit 
- I'm thinking to 700'ish px or so and 2) I don't care for the 
grey-purple-y gradient background ~coloring~ I would go with a color 
already in use in the design.  Either that or a solid color - probably 
white. There seems to be some kind of color clash going on in my opinion.

I would like to ask if you'd share the way you did your rounded corners?

Re: [wdvltalk] Site check please

2005-03-04 Thread Ross Clutterbuck
 I looked at it for a sec from home last night and it
 took right at 30 
 seconds to pull up the page on DSL (1.5mbps) then an
 additional 17 
 seconds for the flash to load.

I still need to do a lot of image optimisation to do
on the site to speed things up a bit and this will be
most noticable on teh Flash widget when I don't have
JPEGs at 100k each to load, but even so it loads
faster on my 512K DSL at home and the 1Mb at work so
maybe you had a lag that day - the tweaks are
continuing...

 One thing that's not clear on the home page is what
 exactly The Maclagan Men do.

Good call. The title image at the very top was only a
knock together when I was Photoshoping the layout but
the boss liked it so it stayed. Although I intended to
have links direct to what we do on the front page I do
agree and see now that it's going to have even more
punch if we said straight away what we did - the
boss is a little hung up in the fact that people would
only visit out site if directed (it's not an
advertisement in its own right - it's a resource and
promotion when you've already contacted us) but I keep
saying that's close-minded bullsh*t so I will re-jig
some bits to cater for Google-ers and the like.

 On letting my eyes drift where they will, I
 do get the natural 
 resting point of video•cd-rom•web•dvd
I'd love to say that was intentional, but as it was a
throw-together for design concepts I can't do that!
But as it has this welcome effect I think I shall play
it up a little more...

 Oh! But your source is so very nice and clean :)
Hand-coded XHTML Strict baby! Custom-written PHP CMS
too (nice and basic for what I need - nothing fancy)
and I don't mind sounding proud because this is my
first venture into PHP.
 
 The Portfolio page I'm not crazy about the stock
 photography.
Again it's carried over from the mock-ups I did.
Although I do like a nice little image thumbnail to
give a visual link tot he portfolio category (too much
plain text otherwise) we shall be shooting our own
pictures instead of using stock footage.

If you think the pictures can or should be dropped
altogether I'll do a bit of tweaking and see how it
pans out.

 The about us pages are interesting.  Indicative of
 nepatism, but 
 interesting none the less :P
Nepatism, family business or cheap-skate are the same
things at The Maclagan Men - should I really say
that?!?! We are very good at what we do though...

 This quote (from the MOU himself) should 
 be featured more prominently:
 
 “CD-ROM, Web development, programming, motion video
 graphics and design. 
 All of these skills go hand in hand with what The
 Maclagan Men is all 
 about – communication”

Good idea - as I said I'll tinker and add it to the
front page somewhere...

 I think you've done a great job, Ross!  Kudos!
Thanks man!

Keep it coming people - means a lot and helps improve
my professional eye.

 MOU, you have 70 validation errors.
Thanks for the check I've not done a proper XHTML
Strict validation yet so I'm aware I'm going to have
to tweak things.

 There is one error that seems to indicate you've
used an id twice -- to the tower with ye!
Please spare me this once I have been rushing!!

 Many of the attribute issues have to do with xhtml
 strict not working well
 with other web addons such as flash and php.
You just can't get Flash to validate with all the
required stuff in the code and to be honest I don't
really care too much about that as the rest of the
markup is (or will be when I've fixed it) compliant
and get dealt with properly (or as properly as IE will
allow).

There was an interesting article on ALA called Flash
Satay where all the embed rubbish was cleaned up
and made XHTML valid but there were one or two things
that were a problem (like the plug-ins auto-updating
themselves). I'll look into it some more and make a
decision.

As far as I know I shouldn't have any PHP/XHTML
conflicts as I'm not declaring an XML type at the very
head of the page (the ? bit both use conflict with
each other) as this is all text-file based, not MySQL
(don't ask) but again I'll check it out.

 The entity problem has to do with the use of ,
 the ampersand. Xhtml
 doesn't like that. Use either the amp; or the html
 number
Seems like a bad decision on my part then. I've been
very keen to use proper typography as best I can with
this (subsequently ditched because this is text file
based and I'm not writing the content - again don't
ask) and the advice given in an ALA article EM and En
and other shady characters was talking about using
entity numbers instead of names and stuff. I'll
probably go back to HTML numbers or named entites if
XHTML is moaning.

 To ease the attribute/id issue switch to a strict
 html 4.01 doctype.
No, I'm putting in the work to stay XHTML Strict as I
have been doing for 2 years!

Thanks for the input Drew!

 I really like your FLASH =) I think overall it looks
 very sharp.
Glad somebody likes it lol!!! Trust me guys it will be
better when it's finished...

 There are 2 things I would change.  1) it's very
narrow - I would widen it out a bit 
 - I'm thinking to 700'ish px or so
Just goes to show how long ago I did the design work
(been up to my  neck in PHP for a month) I thought it
was!! Or at least I was going to redesign to 700px
wide. If I have the time with deadlines now I think I
will, otherwise it'll have to stay as it is for a
while :(

 and 2) I don't care for the grey-purple-y gradient 
background ~coloring~ 
That does need to change to a dark blue to go with the
rest of the TMM colouring. I think I'll stick with the
gradient though as the flat colour seemed, well, too
flat when I mocked it up (did originally do a drop
shadow on either side but that caused problems if the
content div was shorter than the page height).

 I would like to ask if you'd share the way you did
 your rounded corners?
I'm rather pleased with myself with these things I
must say. One of those nice little revelations you get
when you're trying to sleep.

Don't have the time ATM for full CSS but basically
this is what I did:

-- used a heading tag (either H2 or H3 depending on
where in the page the panel appears) styled with an
image with rounded corners for the top. The image is
just tall enough to give the rounded edge. The
background colour is the same as the background colour
in the image, then the image is placed at the top of
the block and not repeated.

-- the panel content is a ul with the relevant size
and colour borders left and right. The lis inside of
the ul are styled accordingly for position and
stuff.

-- there are 3 key classes for the as inside the
lis though: .first, .last and .solo.

.first (for the first list item) has a background
image positioned no-repeat with does the inner rounded
corners. As most of the margins are set to 0 in this
lot, the inner rounded corners will be flush to the
heading, giving the rounded panel look.

.last has the thick bottom border to close the panel

.solo is a combination of both for single-item panels.

So using the images fixed to the top of the relevant
blocks (with borders and background colours mainly
used for the panel effect) it doesn't matter how much
the blocks size with the flow and size of text, the
rounded panel effect is maintained.

I'm rubbish at describing things so I shall post the
CSS I used if you want to have a look, alternatively
have a look at
http://www.themmen.co.uk/newsite/lib/css/screen.css
and find the quicklinx class (it needs a lot of
cleaning up though).

Re: [wdvltalk] Site check please

2005-03-04 Thread Scott Glasgow
The site looks great, Ross, very crisp and clean, easily navigated, and 
professional. I might change the wording for the Open Full View button on 
the Flash control (which I like, BTW, especially the texture) to View Menu 
or something. When I first moused over it I had the idea at first that it 
might be to open a larger Flash window. The main body content area is a 
trifle narrow on my 1152 x 864 monitor, but I believe you've already 
mentioned changing that. Load time for the home page was fairly quick on my 
DSL connection (1.5 Mb/s), less than 20 seconds.

I should note that I did not see the color cast in the gray gradient 
(SlimBrowser 4.03 build 007, ATI Radeon 64MB DDR VIVO AGP, Envision EN-910, 
Windows XP SP2, AMD processor). This may be a hardware or OS related issue. 
I used Iconico's ColorPic to view a 5 x 6 sample of the darkest gray of 
the gradient and it appeared to be a near-neutral gray visually, about 
85-90% gray. The hex color value was 535C6D, which is slightly weighted 
toward the blue, but no apparent cast can be observed in the expanded 
sample.

All in all, nice work. I'd be interested to see it again when you go live, 
so maybe you could remind us when you've got it ready so we can take a look.

Cheers,
Scott

Hi all
The new site is nearing completion so I thought I'd better ask you 
wonderful people for a once over. Not a lot of the site actually has any 
content yet (for example the Flash widget has temporary graphics and the 
portfolio has test documents) but you should be able to see the structure.

I've not set up a dummy account yet to test the Client Login and I don't

Re: [wdvltalk] Site check please

2005-03-04 Thread Stephen Caudill
Send them out forthwith to procure an Mac and do not let them re-enter
the building without one.

Seriously.

Mac Mini's are cheap-a-cheap-a  and pack a hell of a wallop... so long
as you're not doing sound or video *editing* on them... then again a
powerbook can easily handle that sort of thing, if it's your bag and
pricking's not too bad on them.  But for the developer (especially
LAMP folk or RoR'rs), OS X is just dreamy.  Unix underpinnings and eye
candy to boot.

IDE?  Eclipse.  With the PHPEclipse plugin... even if you're just
doing html, it's a cheap way to get good syntax highlighting and code
completion into it.  price?  free.

Plays oh so nice with mySQL (CocoaMySQL for a GUI DB interface), comes
with Apache and PHP preinstalled.

Did I mention the eye candy?  very harmonious and thanks to Apples
extensive interface specifications, everything pretty much behaves
like you expect it to... stuff just makes sense.  They *get* it.

Sorry... rant.   

Your site looks great in the standards compliant browsers on mac.  As
Franni pointed out though, you've got a small issue in Exploder 5.2
for Mac.  It looks like a box model botch.  The nav float seems to be
a bit too wide...  I'm thinking a simple hack for it would clear it
up...

 from http://www.sam-i-am.com/work/sandbox/css/mac_ie5_hack.html ,
something like this:

/* commented backslash hack v2 \*/
#quicklinx {width:???; } /* not for IE 5.2 */
#quicklinx {width:???; } /* for IE 5.2 */
/* end hack */

Check out Dan Vine's site for a free way to get Mac screen grabs...
you can at least get the nav float straight.  Or just give IE the
finger.  I do.

2005-03-03 Thread Joseph Harris
Ross,

The site came up quickly on FF (Xphome) but the image is taking for ever to
load (56 dial-up).   Now it is all visible it looks attractive and holding -
the title graphic is interesting without being demanding.

Unless it is for strong selling I am not sure the flash part helps;  it
distracts from reading what is below.   But what is below is clean and easy
to read.

Are the fading lines in the main part graphics or what?

[wdvltalk] Site Check please

2005-02-18 Thread Peter MacGregor
Can someone please check the following:
http://www.smugglers-at-sompting.co.uk/clubs/clubs_index.shtml
I've uploaded a modification to it this morning but it seems to be showing 
up blank on my browsers and I have no idea why! It's a page on a client 
site that I've had for about five years now and all I did was delete an 
extra comma in the text that we hadn't noticed before!

It shows up fine in my Browser Test here and in Dreamweaver - but not when 
I looked online!

If it comes up OK can you also check the Business Club link on that page - 
on the left?

Many Thanks

Thanks Franni - if you want a van like that I believe there may be still a 
few available. They were a special make for South Africa by Citroen (?) I 
think and then the firm that ordered them didn't take them (Think they went 
bust).

I've uploaded a modification to it this morning but it seems to be 
showing up blank on my browsers and I have no idea why! It's a page on a 
client site that I've had for about five years now and all I did was 
delete an extra comma in the text that we hadn't noticed before!

It shows up fine in my Browser Test here and in Dreamweaver - but not 
when I looked online!

If it comes up OK can you also check the Business Club link on that page 
- on the left?

Many Thanks
Peter MacGregor

It's fine here, both page itself  the Business Club link showing up on

Hello list.

I am designing a site for a client that is constructing second-phase
building works in houses. It is only in slovenian language but since it's
designed on a high-resolution monitor I'd need some second oppinions on
looks (horizontal scrolling issues, overlaps, CSS design bugs,
accessibility, load time...).

Site is not complete yet. It's URL is http://suhamontaza-albreht.si/

Thanks,

[wdvltalk] Site Check Please

2004-01-05 Thread Gerenday, Perry (P.)
Hey everyone,
I've been in lurker mode for quite some time but I'm still around and
looking for some help.
Can I get a few of you to look at a site redesign I'm working on? I've had
some issues with the CSS not working across  browser / platform / operating
systems. Because of the subject of the site, I really only anticipate
visitors with run-of-the-mill browsers, but that still leaves quite a few
variations. As is my habit, [read: downfall] the site really needs pixel
perfect alignment. I'm using Javascript to serve up browser appropriate
style sheets rather than CSS hacks, which seem to be failing in some cases.
Please take a look and let me know if you see anything wonky.

[wdvltalk] Site Check Please...

2003-11-25 Thread Joseph Harris
Okay, save my one remaining hair (or stop it turning white).

www.smilepoetryweekly.com/DPPsite/indexDP.shtml

The section which is new is BOOKS and is in this temporary folder;
the main page is Books.shtml, but I have just learned (the very, very
hard way) that 'index' must be the browser aim!!!

This is what I have been working on for a long time (content has
been...  well, don't ask).   I have abandoned for this moment a
drop-down menu, and would welcome views of my solution.   Also ('cos I
am no artist but drew it myself) the new logo.

Any other comments can only be helpful and instructive.   Very helpful
and very instructive.

Thanks for looking.

[wdvltalk] Site Check please

2002-12-03 Thread Benny
Hello fellow wdvlers,

From an Aussie downunder

I would be pleased if you were able to check out my site  www.bennymid.com

I have been a lurker in here for quite a while now ( possibly read years, its been that
long )

Please note that at the moment the site is hanging off the end of a 56 K modem the 
server
is running FreeBsd and is also the gateway for the house .

The site needs JavaScript enabled and  Shockwave ...It also runs a few cgi scripts and 
 is
also framed

It is firmly aimed at MICRO$OFT   IE  however it also appears to work well with a 
number
of versions of netscape as well .I have also tested it out with Crazy Browser

The forum is locked to members however your more than welcome to join if you wish

There is a feedback form there so your comments posted through it would be appreciated 
.

Email addresses are NOT HARVESTED

There are a number of pages that are being developed on the run however I thought that 
I
may put it out to you kind folks for another point of view

Overall comments as well as tech comments are all welcomed ...

Please don't hold back on negitive comments either . I figure that I couldnt get a
better group of people to give me constructive feedback than the folks on here

regards

and TIA

Benny
