hey friends,
i just made a happy little web site for you and me to share. it isn't much but id like the expirenced advice from any one thats willing to give it. So far i have noticed that it works on most computers, however, on some windows computers the buttons and content does not load and i don't know why.

all good on firefox 1.0, buttons and content. don't like the fact you've vaguely divided the page into three then spread content out. a standard navigation structure would also help out considerably for users switching from buttons to links (/link :link:: is pretty but not required). maybe even a link back to the home page if you wanted to be generous. for the right side content you've made an intentional border of about 10px yet forgotten to add one for the other side (closest to the scroll-bar) making content stretch to the edge of the page. sorry for the bitching, will be more than happy to review your site once some changes have been made. good luck pal.

sorry wonkus, i dont really like it that much... looks a few years old... i suppose its intuitive enough navigation, just nothing great :/

i guess it does let the very nice work shine, which is the most important thing.

the first photomanip image, orange city scape one, is particularly good in my opinion.

anyway for a first site, nice simple nav, but if you're going for minimalism thats not quite there.

sorry if i been honest just how i feel, ive noticed noone else has actually said anything productive bout ur site. laters take it easy

i use opera and the page won't even load....
and if i use ie, i just get the background image.....

in your css, the class 'menu' is not mentioned, maybe check out that.... and i dunno, but the way you closed the 'link' and 'script' tags in the header seem strange... i mean, shouldn't it be like or something...?

advent says:

The fact that the menu class wasn't assigned a style doesn't matter.

SirWonkus, try adding a space before the close of the link and script tags. They should read something like the following:

‹link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="sirwonkus.css" /›
‹script type="text/javascript" src="sirwonkus.js" /›

Some browsers have quirks that prevent them from properly reading XHTML. The space before the close of the tag allows them to parse as if you were using plain HTML.

Also, try to figure out what browsers are having the rendering problems. Some have issues properly rendering CSS styles (NS4 and IE5 come to mind).

What version of IE is your friend running?

well, i think that adding after in head section solves the problem :)

night says:

double post, forgot that html is partially allowed here..
add "‹/script›" in the head section to close the script tag

advent says:

SirWonkus, you'll want to close that opening ‹script› tag.

advent says:

Well, I've been staring at this bad boy for some time now, and I just noticed the following:

In Firefox, the script tag closes, while in Internet Explorer 6, it doesn't.

This has been tested on two computers, both running SP2 and the latest versions/patches/what-have-you for both Firefox and IE6.

The malformed script tag looks like the reason why your page is having problems displaying in IE. I'm guessing this is also the reason why it isn't loading properly in Opera (though I haven't tested that).

night says:

ok, since there are still errors in the code, i'll write how the whole script line should look:
‹script type="text/javascript" src="sirwonkus.js"/› ‹/script›
if you need some help with the rest of the script [just noticed you've put something more on your site], pm me or advent, and we'll try to help [right advent? :)]
@advent - now the index.html misses /› just before ‹/script› in head section, thats the reason why the site isn't displayed in opera..

SirWonkus says:

i looked at the source on a friends comp that wasn't working and there were a lot of errors just all over the place, but then it worked fine with firefox


thanks a lot night

i gotta do some calc but then ill get on fixing it

SirWonkus says:

ah, well i just tested it on the index page, it made most of the page load correctly, except some misc. black text was displayed, big step though, thanks a lot guys

advent says:

Yeah, I'll definitely try to help out.

If the a tag has a closing tag, it shouldn't need the backslash. As far as I know, only one of the following lines is needed, but not both nor a combination of the two.

‹script type="text/javascript" src="sirwonkus.js"›‹/script›

‹script type="text/javascript" src="sirwonkus.js" /›

Anyway, I'll try working with the code instead of just staring at it and making guesses once I get my hands on some free time. SirWonkus, I'll be PMing you either tonight or tomorrow night.

ok, i went through and changed every page *i think*

thanks again!

night says:

advent - the thing with closing tags is kind of funny - there are some that you can close just with a /›, but there are others [and script tag is one of them] that have to be closed by a normal close tag, like ‹/script› Also, the first 'short' version comes with xhtml standard, so depending on the standard you want to build your page with, you should decide on one of them. I agree that using both of them was a mistake [and probably an effect of not sleeping too much ;)]
site working now under opera :)

night, I know about that. :)

I'm in a similar situtation with the sleep- for some reason, I thought the second line I supplied SirWonkus with was actually valid.

Oops.

SirWonkus says:

hey, so i have been playing around with the site, and having it looking more like i think it will for a while. I decided to ax the script line that had been giving the site its trouble in favor of using before and after effects in CSS. hope that some of you like the look of the site better now.

also i hope advent and night have caught up on their sleep.

advent says:

I'm more or less caught up. Thanks! :)

The site's looking great, but a warning:

The :before and :after selectors are part of the CSS2 specification, which all versions of IE don't support well.

SirWonkus says:

im ok with that....you would think that if safari which supports so little, or firefox which is free, would be worse than a program that the largest software company in the world makes.

I liked the artistic feel of the site. If there are supposed to be buttons, I didn't see them in I.E. 6.
The text nav is kinda neat too, but the site felt a little disorganized. The art work is great. I think you should encorperate a little more into your site, maybe have a little more definition as to were it lies in 'space'.

"In the future, you will know me only as, 'Master'."

yea im thinking some lines to direct your eye to where the content will be would add something to the site.
