Greetings, I just designed a website but I would like a review first.

Let's start with this one:

http://www.mydeafcities.com/newsite/

Like it? What it should be added, changes, anything?

Now look at:

http://www.mydeafcities.com/newsite/test.html

It has all texts but look at the left menu bars, why is it crapping around not like the first one?

All I would like a nice help and comment to get it solved.

Thank you :)

Joseph,

Before I begin, I'd like to note two things :

1. In future, what you might like to do is to validate your HTML tags through W3C's Validator @ http://validator.w3.org - it will pick up incorrect HTML tag formatting and fix them up for you, and it will fix some of the problems sometimes.

2. I hope you didn't mind me saving your 'problematic' page to my desktop - I'm using DreamWeaver to diagnose what exactly is wrong.

That said, my DreamWeaver picked up some incorrect tags and as a result it's fixed some of the probs.

I'll be sending my results back to you soon :)

yep, dreamweaver rocks .. I would have done the same .. but BC beat me to it :)

Dreamweaver will fix the tags automatically? That is interesting. Or does it just tell you what is wrong? I use arachnophilia, but I must say, ONE tag out of place and it somehow generates 18 errors. Sometimes this makes it difficult for me to understand what the problem actually is.

it can do both, if a tag is out of place it will show you (in bright yellow ;) )

it doesn't generate 18 errors, actually doesn;t generate an error at all, just highlights the bad tags

Be sure to look at it with both Netscape and IE. I'm not sure which you were using, but looking at the "good" site with netscape 4.73, I'm missing part of the left column. I'm going to guess you ened to add a transparent 2x2 graphic in your left table so that the cell (and corresponding background image) shows with Netscape.

One other thing... Netscape is giving the document a puke-colored rose background. *shrug*

In fact, if you want to help Joseph out please feel free to. Unfortunately it looks fine in Dreamweaver, but looks pukey in both browsers. I'm going to work on this later tonight, so if any of you wanna jump in and try and help out both of us would appreciate it.

Danke in advance.

there is no html error here, but simply a flaw in the way html tables atre rendered.

I didn'T look at your code, but I assume that the menu and what is under the menu is in 2 seperated row and that the 'main' page is on a 'rowspan=2' row.

Both browser won't respect the height that you specify and will tend to enlarge the height of the cells.

Either you set the cell with the menu as 'valign="top"' to set th menu at the top not depending on the size of the cell, either you remove the bottom cell and the ROWSPAN=2.

I am not sure if that is clear and if you understand HTMl... but if you do, that will fix the problem :)

Hi guys again,

BC had fixed it and send me the zip and I unzip and upload to write over it and see for yourself see what BC had gone fixed but seems like dreamweaver havent done it yet,

take yourself a look:

Thanks again,

Sarasota

I'll get back at you tomorrow, I'm really busy right now but I'll give it a shot

Ummm, I might be jumping to conclusions but...

That site you have there is an exact copy of a site (currently under redesign) by the title of WorldMP3s it is no longer on the web because the person is redesigning, but I do know that copying a site as cool as his would be frowned upon in the Internet Community, I've already emailed the owner of that site to ask him, so this is one of the rare instances that someone copied a site and got caught!

If you have any questions email me, c_kenworthy@hotmail.com is my personal email address... I won't get my company involved with this one ;-)

BlueZebra,

That is incorrect, I found the web template from http://www.freewebtemplates.com and it is not releated to the WorldMP3.

You will need from on ask the website first before emailing to the owner who you think they owned the design layout which will leading to a war which I don't appericate nor not need.

Please be advised further as matter

Thank you
Regards,

Those template sites throw many people. It freaks me out to see the same design sometimes, until I realize it was a modified template. Mistaken identity, that's all.

new design layout, just a 2nd idea

http://www.mydeafcities.com/newsite/

tell me what you think?

I m still fixing the bar on the left dont worry :)

it's ok .. but you have a problem with the text, the 'blur" like effect makes it look out of focus, get rid of it

hmmm i like the blur, looks good otherwise i have no font that is good

any ideas?
also take this look

http://www.mydeafcities.com/newsite/test1.html

why all the images wont come together? I hate this part, cant get it to work! damn!!!

instead of using index4x2.gif as an image, use it as a background on those tables (same for index3x3.gif), this way it will fill the gaps

either that or put the image as 100% in the vertical

ya how i can find for html color for thoses?

never mind i found it :D

gee if i doid that, it ll look ugly, no good :(

try

http://www.mydeafcities.com/newsite/test2.html

what do you mean ? if it's not seamless, then use the image at 100% (not pixels)

almost there

uhmm, i m trying to figure out to get it done

instead of height=266 use height=100%

did that

see it again

whats next to fix?

well I took the liberty and just fixed it myself (using the sides pics as background) .. take a look http://www.3dwizards.com/sarasota/test1.html

I'm sending you the zip file via e-mail :)

hope it helps
