Re: [WSG] Checking My Page
I thinks it's worth reminding everyone on the list that Marvin is actually a
blind web developer.
Personally Marvin I would stick with plain vanilla HTML with no styles at
all. Get rid of the Javascript and focus your time into developing and
marking up some rich content.
Never the less, given your circumstances I have to give you praise for your
work.
Btw. I am still trying to locate that paper I write for you. As soon as I
find it I will email it over. Having to search to the works backup server as
it's not on the system.

Hi Marvin,
Wow a flash back to web design circa 1997.
Well it does pass XHTML transitional, so plus there.
In terms of css errors well you really shouldn't be placing styling
information in id attributes i.e. id=Borg; width: 400px; margin: 1%
auto;
Your positioning breaks (text and images in the wrong places) when the
window is resized.
Frankly I haven't seen such a bad design in years, the only way you could
make it better is to add this style to the css
* {text-decoration: blink}
Check out some css gallery sites for better design ideas. Do the original
design as an image in Photoshop or similar, then cut up the xhtml and css
working from your design.
Also this isn't a help desk

You Will Be Assimilated! Resistance Is Futile! Star Trek Voyager Episode 68 Scorpian Part One It's not as bad as it appears on first glance, in fact a few simple corrections can make this a site with graphics that work. Here are some simple suggestions that's just one way to make this work. 1) Don't have an image over the background. The background is a good image but it is complex, there's a lot of things going on in it so it's important to see the whole image without another image on top of it. If you need a logo, consider putting it into the Header area, which doesn't conflict with the background - and keep it small and simple. 2) Once the image is removed, use margin-bottom on the header to push the next text down an allow viewing of the background image (anywhere around 3.5-5.5em depending on the look you wish to achieve) 3) You need to use a clear method after your navigation bar and get rid of the JS, it doesn't add any value 4) Add a little more spacing between your nav and the next text, make your text smaller and center your division better. That should get you going on a page that you can work with and is pleasing/interesting to those who are into the space thingy, obviously not me grin -- Susan R.

Marvin I don't know what you think you have up there, but drop.io is not a web hosting site, it is a dropbox or collaborative filesharing site. So, when you copy your index.html file up there, what I see is a _link_ to an index.html file, with links to download it, send it to someone, comment on it, rename it or delete it, plus some image thumbnails. It's not interpreting your html files as I think you want them to be (as I verified by downloading and viewing the index file).
