Website Help by Nagamasa on 02-02-2007 at 09:25 PM

Well, I just 'officially' released the new My Bright Corner, and I have some questions about it. BTW...its http://nagamasa.nathans-hosting.com

So:

A few pages (i.e., Fonts) do not align properly with the other pages, yet the code is the same in Firefox, but is correctly aligned in IE7.
The embeded sounds dont show correctly in IE6, they automatically redir to the wav file
The embed audio does not work on Firefox at all.
How do I get a viewer's browser to automatically refresh the page when they enter the site?
[/list]

1) background music/sounds suck
2) too many colors in log (2 max...)
3) site waaaay too long

and where is the text not aligning properly? (screenie maybe)
and can you explain #4 more clearly?

Well its not the text thats misaligned, but the entire site shifts 2mm leftwards on those pages. Compare hwk redir.htm and index.htm with index.htm and map.html

Right now, I need to refresh in order to see the updates. So is there a way for it to automatically refresh the page?

RE: My Bright Corner: Help! by xJ + on 02-03-2007 at 02:07 PM

I agree with SSD that you used too many colors. Limit yourself to only two or less colors would be better. Why do I always get redirected to this link?

Change the headers, and isn't this counted as advertising?

No not really, cause I'm asking for help for my website (sort of like SonicSam.net new design). Though I changed the header nevertheless.

IE 7 on XP works fine

I decided that I'm gonna take out the sound effects. But these questions still need to be solved:

bump

And removed the sound effects.

Why are you forcing reload? I personally don't like the flashing of that...

The colors look fine to me. I do agree on the page beeing too long tho (people most likely wil stop scrolling/reading halfway through)...maybe you can archive Old Blog Posts and Website Updates so it'll show a list with links instead of the whole posts.

So that people have an up-to-date version of site cached.

They're just there. I dont even read them myself, and there isnt anything important there.

RE: Website Help by Sunshine on 02-09-2007 at 11:22 PM

ppl know how to refresh...

Urgent advice: Encode your mailto link...i had mine hidden behind my name on mine and spambots still managed to grab my addy...i used http://www.syronex.com/antispam/ to encode mine..but ofcourse my addy is still in the database of those spammies (no, i don't wish to alter my addy..i will bounce the messages hopin my addy will be deleted from their db).

Code obtained. I will update as soon as I get to it.

Though, I am looking for a reasoning for this.

RE: Website Help by Sunshine on 02-09-2007 at 11:54 PM

It would help if you told wich pages. Also it's fairly impossible to make a site look exactly the same in all browsers as the rendering is different (feel free to compare my site in various browsers and you will notice slight differences even tho i try to make them as cross-browser compatible as possible). Just make sure the tags are nested properly and play with margins if you have to. I just converted my site from a table layout to a div layout (with minor design difference) and had quite a few problems with the rendering differences too (i designed my own, not used a template or a fancy designing program).

No, I mean that in Mozilla Firefox, pages shift. Compare school and index and information, and you see it move...it looks ugly...

Sorry for making you confused!

RE: Website Help by Rolando on 02-10-2007 at 12:05 AM

You should make the Pictures link open in a new window, naga.

I see what you mean now, the header images aren't at the same hight on all pages. They move in IE too..theres also something wrong with the image on the School page (in IE, a white line).

Index

code:
<!--
blockquote {
background: #f7f7f7;
padding: 10px;
margin: 5px 0;
}

all other pages

code:
<!--
blockquote {
background: #f7f7f7;
padding: 15px;
margin: 5px 0;
}

See the difference?

RE: Website Help by hmaster on 02-10-2007 at 12:43 PM

The whole refresh thing is really annoying. You could use the .php extension which would resolve the cache issues *-) .

I'll see what I can do with the images...but cant I stretch/shrink it to a height desired?

Appearing fine in Firefox.

EDIT: I need help with the javascript coding, as I cannot get the Contact Me button the same as the other 2 links...
