I have been working on my website lately (mostly the front page interface, so don't worry too much about the other pages). I like what I finally have here, but would love to know what everyone feels about it!

My Website

Is it too flashy?
Is it too slow?
Difficult to browse!
or just plain nice :)

Also, if you like it and would like to have the html code, feel free to PM me.

Thank you everyone!
ps: website currently works better with Firefox!

seems not to work under safari on a mac. the content of gallery, slideshow and about is sitting half-cut at the top of the page, the menu is sitting at the right edge. could be faster, too.

Hi, I tried to view your gallery pages, but it says i need to upgrade my flash player. So I did, but it's still saying i need to upgrade.

Running mac osx - firefox

Thanks Oliver and Eric.. will look into browser compatibility issues.. haven't been able to check it on anything other than WindowsXP with firefox, IE7 and Opera8

...as for the galleries, I am using simpleviewer template.. don't know why that should not work - will check that too!

same here something funky is going on the opening page is just fine but when I click on that vertical box you have and it directs me to your gallery, thats the pages that safari my be screwing up. I would say like 70 percent of the page is gray with your page clicker/stat number being directly in the middle of the page. and you picture(s) at the top are cut off. The only thing I see is a link to people (which) is at the very top of the page and a link to events. Once I click either one your page is fine afterwards.

Great pics by the way of the people, the one of the old man smoking is great

Works, but glitchy on IE7. Once you get past the home page, it is somewhat smoother, but it's a couple of unappealing hoops to jump through just to get to a generic simpleviewer layout. Personally as a client, I would immediately click out of the home page and never come back. Not meant to be harsh, just my $0.02 USD.... I agree, the pics are great (once you get to them).

Thanks Ryan!!

wow, looks like I need to delete the thread and make sure everything works first and then post it again !!

Don't know how I can check the code with Safari, but will try something!

Thanks Lee for the suggestion! Point taken.. will work on reducing the jumps to the simpleviewer page.

no problem, your welcome

I took a desktop pic so you can see what it looks like in safari 1.3.2 not at home so dont what it looks like on the latest version of safari & no problems at all in firefox


hmm dont know coding at all but I think in safari it you right click or control and click you can view source and then a bunch of code will show up on a website

just a quick edit for you landscape and still pics...really great pics...

I have seen that happen in older versions of IE as well.. I have a code that keeps the block in the center of the page.. it first brings it down and then pulls up by half its size ... i believe its never pushes it down in older versions..

I know a quick fix for that.. thanks for pointing this, will fix it!

when I was working on my website, I also noticed that the IE 7.0 was not behaving as older versions. I did rearch and found that IE 7.0 has some bugs and that was preventing me to do what I wanted to do.

Here is one of the scenario that I was doing:

1. I wanted to use innerHTML in a Table element using JavaScript.
2. IE 7.0 did not allow me to do that because IE 7.0 does not have support for that where as older version was working fine.
3. Similar thing I did in DIV tag then there was no issue.
4. I had a chat with some one at MS and he said that the team is looking into that but they dont know when the fix would be out.

Basically I need to change the layout to use DIV in place of Table. :)

in my website I am using Chameleon skin and I did some customization in that.

That's unusual... I just did a quick test of what you describe, and I see no problems whatsoever using IE7. View the test at the link below (view the document source to see how it works). The text you see when you navigate to the page should be "New text."

Click here for table and innerHTML test that works.

Try something like and see if it works. I was trying to add a few TR and TDs in Table using Ajax call's returned value.

EDIT-->
Sorry, I dont have IE 7 at work otherwise, I would have tried it and put the link in here.

You're correct, that doesn't work. It probably hasn't been caught yet because frankly that's a counter-intuitive way of adding data rows to a table (and susceptible to breaking since the underlying html is not standards-compliant).

Rather, do something like this in your JavaScript block:

var row = document.getElementById('test').insertRow(0);
var cell = row.insertCell(0);
cell.innerHTML = 'This is my message.';

Click here to see this in action. As you probably know, viewing the source won't show you the table structure, since it is modified after the browser loads the page in the DOM using that JavaScript.

Worked fine, smooth and speedily for me on IE6.
I like the effect. Seems like lots of Flash effects going on here, but I don't think you overdid it. It doesn't seem too gimicky to me.
I would be interested in getting the html when you have the Safari bugs worked out.
Great pics too!

Theres really no reason to still be using tables to make a website, css is much better and widespread.



.maintable
width: 500px;
height: 200px;

etc etc.

No offence but tables are not suited for web pages, only for tables. It is harder to center a div mind you, basically you put it in a container and have to use text-align for IE and auto margin for firefox.

No offence to the safari user, but safari is nowhere near popular enough to warrant a website being checked on it :) firefox, IE, maybe opera... :P Im sure you wont be happy, but every browser is buggy and its hard enough making a site for 1 browser. I make mine for two! FF and IE and thats very difficult. Be nice if one day they made a browser that actually followed xhtml properly. We can but hope!
