layout's getting buggered in firefox, and the code's a bit iffy at times

design's shaping up quite nicely though

mid-ori · 30-04-2005, 08:15

this is my first real css website, and its taking a bit to get used to, but hopefully i will be able to iron out all the bugs. I'm just working to getting it right in internet explorer at present , then i'll go cross platform.

Where about is the code iffy?

gray · 30-04-2005, 08:22

starting with explorer first is a problem

start with firefox, then fix for ie

mid-ori · 30-04-2005, 08:32

why start with firefox

b'cos it renders everything properly which will mean that your site is (well, should be) future proof. ie has many bugs in it that you might need to address once you've got the site working in the fox.

yup, develop with firefox (or mozilla / safari / opera), and hack for IE.

as for the code being iffy, here's some of the stuff i noticed

Quote:

that attribute should really be declared in your css body { } declaration.

Quote:

<div id="links"><img src="img/link-arrow.gif" width="12" height="8">home . about us . the team . services . showreel . case studies . contact . sitemap . client login</div>

you'd be better changing this to an unordered list (the div isn't necessary), and style it to display inline via your stylesheet. also the image is presentational and should therefore be moved to the stylesheet via a background rather than occur in the markup.

also, you have several line-break elements scattered throughout the page which appear to be for nothing other than introducing spacing between elements and their contents - this is precisely what padding and margins are for in css.

anyway like i said, it's looking good so far, keep at it and let us know how you get on

mid-ori · 30-04-2005, 09:41

ok we'll i've been working on it in fox, and hopefully the layout is more or less there.

mid-ori · 30-04-2005, 09:43

thanks for taking the time out to look cam, i'll work through this stuff now.

mid-ori · 30-04-2005, 10:59

just to let you know, i've worked through the amends cam identified, so if anybody can see any other way this site can be improved. please let me know.

rather than having the corner image after the h1 make it a background image - ie, get rid of it from the page into your css.

Hey, great site, simple, clean and looks good. I would add a loading message for flash, i thought its an image with mouseover issues!

mid-ori · 02-05-2005, 04:45

Cheers, the flash elemnts will have loading but i'm working on the css at the moment then i'll come back to the flash at a later date.

I would add a loader to the flash - keep the first frame pic and what not, just add a loader bar for the rest of the video that plays.
