I got a JS error on the all of the pages - the page didn't show up and I couldn't get back to the front page. Fine in Netscape though.

I really don't have much to say about the design. THe mouseovers are nice, 'but I think all of them should have the same concept (ie. the mouseover picture should always bee in full colour - the shaver and hairdryer one don't)

It's really nice to see that you included a loading message under the big images. Really interesting content too.

Oh - there are a few spelling mistakes here and there. YOu might want to plug your text into a word processor and run a spellcheck on it. (I understand that english isn't your first lanuage though...)

Having pop-up windows for special displays is probably the most appropriate application of that particular function in JavaScript. The illustrations are beautiful.

I would suggest the following tidbits to improve useability and overall appearance (especially at higher resolutions)...

1. Center the page horizontally and vertically so that the image makes use of the 'white' space (in this case black) in a more impactful manner at high resolutions. It will have little to no effect at the lower resolutions.

2. Add a link or instruction for closing the pop-up window or have it self-close by adding onBlur() to the body tag of the pop-up windows (check for the actual code).

3. Always add the title to the page, even for the pop-up window -- if nothing else, it makes it look better, but it can also be used to convey more information (like 'click on the X to close this window') for those who are perhaps not the swiftest...

Looks fab!

Ok AndyB you are right about this one. I have taken away this annoying thing. I just really like the visitors to view the site in 800 by 600 because the pictures are really fullscreen then and the navigation page covers the whole browser-window. But almost no-one changes his resolution just to view a site anyway I suppose.

p.s. I would like to thank Parker Trasbourg for his reply

Please, please, please ... get rid of those stupid alerts telling me what browser and screen size I need.

Not much to say because there is not a whole lot. It looks good though. I like mouseovers as many of you know if you have read my earlier critiques. That's all I suppose.
