Good, clean site you got there.

1. You may want to try reducing the ads if possible...:d
2. The page loads quite fast actually. The server isn't really slow!!

Just one other thing, I read somewhere that web-sirfers today have a peculiarity with links. Aparantly, people don't really notice that links are links unless they do something. It was suggested in a magazine and on Webmasterbase.com (very good design tips) that the underline should appear or the text should change colour. Could you do something about the nav bar?

Yeah, I'll try and do something about that later, I know what you mean, but what I can't work out is everything is much smaller in Netscape than in IE, and I've got them both set to the normal font sizes, any idea why?

Also you should define the UL tag's text font, the bulletted text still appearss in Courier.

Is this now fixed, It should be Smile

And the welcome to JSN webservices logo appears in the middle of the text in Netscape 4.7.

Fixed, although we have a gap at the top now, but I'll have to work that out someway, what I found funny is I divided the main table with the text into two rows, one with the text, other with the logo, they still layered on top of each other. if I put extra <P> tags in, it fixed it in Netscape, but gave a massive gap in IE (Groans)

Can anyone check the following in their browsers, as I think it's working in all browsers now

IE 5.5: the logo cell is much smaller than the content cell.

:sighs: could you send a screenshot to webmaster@itfconline.net if possible, as I have XP on here, so can't get access to IE 5.5 Sad

Totally recoded index.php and site.css , all the bugs reported should now have been fixed, although some Netscape problems still need to be fixed, (Very Minor ones now).

The site should also now work on resolutions of above 800x600 without getting white bands down either side too :

Works fine now, although you might want to add some margins to the page, or reduce the width of the tables, as it's too wide right now (for my liking).

What resolution are you using, something above 1024x768?

Team Member Joined: 06 Jan 2002 Posts: 2564

Yes. I guess I'm unusual, so I shouldn't influence you Smile

Long as it works on 800x600 & 1024x758 I'm not worried, because 95% of people will be running one of those + My poor 14" Monitor won't go any higher!

I won't even tell you how big my monitor is! Wink

Not sure if its the same on a PC but the Mac version of Netscape 4.77 is diplaying the text so small it is virtually unreadable (prefs at default settings).

If you want more consistency across different browsers try setting your font sizes in pixels rather than points. Although this has the unfortunate effect of stopping users of some browsers from magnifying the text.

or what about different stylesheets for different platforms so everything is at its optimum. Just a thought!
