I'm going on vacation and I'll be back in a few weeks. I just wanted that to be known because I won't be changing my site. Maybe when I get back I'll check out that site...

Thank you,
Tempist

IE 5 to the rescue!! Netscape is a lot pickier than IE about how the code is written, while IE can accept unclosed tags.

I still suggest that you break it up into several smaller tables. Browsers usually have to download an entire table before they can display any of it. I would probably lose the nested tables and have one solid background - faster loading. I also suggest that you try some more exciting colours - that grey just reminds me of the default background - boring!

I still think the animated .gifs are really bad - IMO, plain text is always better than bad graphics. Check out the links from www.freegraphics.com/01_Web_Graphics/Families_Themes_Sets/ - these are pages with sets of coordinated graphics, most of which are very well done. All you'll need is a simple graphics editor to add your own text. Their "Online Create Your Own" page (http://www.freegraphics.com/11_Online_Create_Your_Own/) links to services that will automatically create custom graphics for you.

I'm using 4.6 as well and it's not working - I looked at the source again and it looks like the problem is that you haven't closed your all table tags. (I'd really like to know what you're trying to do here - It looks like you have nested tables three deep). Try coding the layout for the page, then copying and pasting all the extra's in after you know that the basic structure works.

I need to fix those problems in the HTML I was just tryintg to stick the code in there to make ot look better. Do you think that if I fix the table tags it will come in faster? Once I fix this I have to do it to the entire site! Ouch!

Thank you,

I didn't find that problem on netscape 4.06 It dosn't seem like they would have more problems with a later version. It does seem to be slow though.

This is taking a really long time to come up. I still don't like the autostart sound or the javascript alert welcome. But, if you like it then you're welcome to keep it. You're talking to some hard-core purist designers here - your target audience may not have the same opinions as we do.

Jeez, this is taking forever! (and it's not my server), and all that came up was that "Come into the Shadow" thing - I'm looking at the source - you've got some major coding problems in here. There's Table tags in the header!!!!! The only things that go in the header (between the HEAD tags) are meta tags (nice to see that you have some!), title, scripts, style sheets and a couple of less important tags (like Base HREF and <!DOCTYPE....

On Netscape 4.5 all that came up was a patterned background, nothing else, along with the web frame bar.

Yeah, it probably will (quick tip - if your page is very long, and your'e going to put content in a table, divide it up into several large tables for faster loading). I imagine that the browser couldn't figure out what was going on there!

I have redone my page! I have only gotten to the main page but I will continue to change the rest to fit this one. Does this look better?

Thank you,
