Hi all - need some feedback.

 

I am testing the look / feel of my site re-build - it has only just begun and I have a test page here - http://home.kooee.com.au/brainsnap/index2.html.

 

I need to know if everyone is able to see the fonts I am using.

In the main "orange" text I am using Caligraph and it should be seen as a nice curvey type of font.

 

The blue machine names at the left ( which will eventually be linked to the machine page ) should be showing Space Toaster text ( like Ren and Stimpy writing ).

 

At my work PC I am getting my whole new page showing only as Times New Roman ( yuk ) and I assume its because we have limited fonts installed here.

 

SO I need to know who can see it as it is meant to be- make sense?

 

Dont comment about some of the text alignment as I still have to work on that , I know it's out.

 

Any other comments are welcomed ( good or bad ) :o

i got the same by the looks of it. i am using firefox version 1.0 and have a crapload of fonts. the 'ren and stimpy' writing comes up looking good but all the main text is times new roman. i thought that the times new roman looked alright though. overall i think it is comming up mighty fine. heaps better than the old site.

Man - bloody Firefox !!:x

 

I am using Tables to build the site this time as opposed to text boxes as I wanted my site to suit all browsers.

 

Ian - is it a hassle to check your end in IE?? No worries if you cant as I am sure someone else will soon.

 

In IE it looks NOTHING like that screenie - most of it lines up fairly niceley apart from one "text overlap" which is just a bit of laziness that I have to correct.

 

Whereas on yours it is showing the tables , text, images etc all over the place.

 

Man this is frustrating.

 

Cheers

I have also found that if you want to use text that's different from the web standards:

 

arial-helvetica-sans serif

times new roman-times-serif

courier new-courier-monospace

georgia-verdana-geneva

 

one is best to make images using their favourite font (as apposed to just changing the font on your web design program), then ALL viewers of your site will see the correct look of how the font is meant to be.

Ok - its a settings thing.

 

I am building it based at 1024 x 768 - even then it still appears "slightly different" to what my Front Page preview shows it as !:unsure

 

I HATE doing web stuff :x

 

So................back to text boxes I guess.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

Geeees I'll help you :D

 

What is you monitor LCD 17" or CRT These days it's 1280x1024 Get you resolution sorted out. Secondly, throw MS frontpage out the door and get dreamweaver, heaps easier IMO.

 

Then you make a site using a width no more than 750pixels wide if your using tables. So your table be 750pixels MAX width. Then go from there. Remember to make heaps of rows and columns and put each different block of text in a new cell.

OK It looks good on Firfox 1.5.0.1 in a window, but once you maximise or the window gets too wide, there be issues.

 

There are 2 issues I can see in the code. One is that sometimes you are using width as percentage, other times its as pixels. Always use percentage for tables, div, etc.

 

Also, I see what you are trying to do with this...

DIV
  Table of text
DIV
  Table of fancy buttons

...and that is your issue. Keeping these DIVs in sync and separate.

I'd just pants off the DIVs and use...

<TABLE Width=100% ...>
 <TR>
   <TD Width=16% ...>
      ...Fancy button code...
   </TD>
   <TD Width=84% ...>
      ...Text...
   </TD>
 </TR>
  ...
</TABLE>

See- hard as this may be for some to believe I dont understand the scripting at all ( dont have the time, dont have the patience ) , so Fred Flinstone may as well carve alien hyroglyphics as I would understand that better.

 

The reason I have used Front Page is bacause it has ( for me ) been kinda like WYSIWYG and made it ( kind of ) easy for us non script reading dummies.

 

I guess I am doing this all arse backwards ? I guess I will go back to scratch and start my whole thinking over again.

 

Thanks all

I agree with the above also, although I prefer to hard set my margins with pixel count, percentage works just as well. On resizing at different resolutions percentages works extremely well. Meaning that if a person visits your site with a resolution at 800x600, because you have set your tables at % rather than pixel width count, (like I do) the table will automatically adjust to the percentage you set you table at (example 75%), and thus display on their screen, at their resolution perfectly.

Is this a page you will change a lot? If not, I could make the change for you. Just a matter of cutting and pasting.

 

It will be my main page but once up and running I wont change it for a while.

I REALLY appreciate the offer but I will learn it myself, I dont expect others to do stuff like that for me ( not the reason for the post ) but I will learn along the way.

 

Cheers

I just looked then at the site and its fine on my PC using the latest firefox. Hey Wotto you gonna Toplist this site or what ?

 

Yeah - will toplist for sure , but will get it right first.

Actually , the Toplist post was a major factor in me getting off my arse to start my site re-build.

 

Cheers
