FireFox? Please, quick look at something

[admedia]

For some reason on FireFox 1.5.0.1 the menu on the left stopped working.

See if you can click the second link on the left.

Need to know if it's just me... thanks,

Odd, I figured out where the problem is...

Those links are in a UL

<ul id="portfolioMenu">

when portfolioMenu is absolutely positioned, those links are voided...

Edit: Placing that UL inside of the <div id="content"> fixed it.

Edit: Edit: Now the menu is messed up in IE!!! It aligns to the image in the middle!! WTF!? God I hate CSS!!

Edit: Edit: Edit: Ok, using z-index fixed that... whew... this forum is really helpful

Well, even though I got my problem resolved... any comments?

still definitely working on it, so it's not all there yet.

Oh, didnt know you wanted feedback other than the FF test. I think you hit the target with the design...its clean and elegant.

In the portfolio section, I found some of the photos actually go up and underneath the subnav. If they're not black, you can see the subnav boxes over the image.

And the contact section, i just didnt think it was clear enough. I didnt know where to contact Kathy, for the life of me i just couldnt figure it out. I tried clicking everywhere! Nothing would happen! I got so frustrated and turned off my computer!

Anyway, looking good dude...can you get a good deal on bronze sculptures?

Yea I just decided as long as it's posted, I might as well see what others thought of it... I kind of like it, Kathy is cool with it .Thanks man, I appreciate it.

Yea, I am actually going to make that nav positioned relative now... still working out my Tables to CSS transition . Also I tried a black 50% opaque png under the subnav, that looked pretty cool, but stupid IE 6 doesn't support it.

Send me a PM, I will put you in touch right away with her.

You might want to add to your links:
onFocus="this.blur();"
to get rid of the dotted boxes around the links, as in:
<a href="etc.etc./portfolio_nature.php?pg=desert_falcon" onFocus="this.blur();">Desert Falcon</a>

Wow that's a pretty cool little tip there! Thanks.

What about images? Can I do anything about that line around linked images?

[Louis van Laarhoven]

Ehhrmmm ... I have to try to remember that one. There was a way to do it, maybe even the same function. Maybe something with 'border'. I have to try it. I'll be back unless someone else knows it right away.

(back: ) It's the same:
<a href="portfolio_nature.html" onmouseover="MM_swapImage('home', '', 'images/home.gif', 'portfolio', '', 'images/portfolio-2.gif','biography', '', 'images/biography-2.gif','contact', '', 'images/contact-2.gif',1)" onmouseout="MM_swapImgRestore()" onfocus="this.blur();">

oh wow, I am sorry... I seriously thought that I tested it and it didn't work... but my test was screwed up and I know why... I tested the wrong header file... nevermind sorry

Thanks again for the tip, works like a charm

Nice, very nice

feedback: the whole time I was trying to look at the link(s)..they were dead..i see now finished all done..


I think the sites does well....while not particularly "FLASHY" or cutting edge (that i saw).. it does have a good balanced design, navigation and layotu are intuative, easy to manage... the FOCUS of the site "IS" the staues and it NOT hindered by anyhing else .... content IS the main focal point! (sooooo many people lack this in their sites/projects)

my ONLY draw back is the link rollOver color when it has the "bg" behind it..(too litle to see the whole thing)

That's actually sort-of on purpose... I mean, why would you need to read the text in a link to the page you are already on when you are rolledOver it?

Someone just complained a little bit, they were running their screen at 1280 x 1024 and complained about having to scroll some of the images...

I figured bigger was better for this project.

what do you guys think... are the images in the portfolio too big?

[whispers]

give me an example.... Im on 1280x1024 here at work and at home (FF & IE) I didnt notice anything like that...specific image??

[admedia]

Just in general...
If I have to be more specific than I guess there isn't any problems

Thanks whispers.

I am going to look at your bikebuilder again later for sure.

[whispers]

yeah then...cauee I just went back to kinda see if anything jumped out at me..

nada..

and cool.. check it out... I need any feedback I cn get. (your the only one so far) LOL.. man.. youd think people would be lining up to talk smack (or praise it) everyone is there gets a TON of views/replies! (slackers!)

[sportzguy933]

I would center the entire site if I were you...otherwise, excellent job!
