Flyboy Design located at http://themidnightsky.com/Flyboy/ and a number of people have told me it's "broken" but i cant see wahts wrong with it
can ssome one review it and mabye point me into the right direction of fixing

Well you certainly maximize your use of space

You might want to rework this layout taking into consideration graphics and color. Right now its plain text on a white background with no colors or graphics. I'm sorry, there really isn't too much more I could comment on.

Your flash intro really isn't necesarry and the cursor annoys me. Also, having one of your 'designers' nicked h4cker isn't the most professional name in the book. It's like electing President Terrorist.

I would suggest browsing the web and especially Ozones and coming up with a better layout. I, as well as many others of the Asylum, would be happy to help you with any questions you might have.

It doesn't seem to be broken on IE6. Must be an older version of IE they were talking about?

Popup windows are evil!

The CSS crosshair property it not a "1337" property. Use is sparsly.

Learn about screen fonts.

Learn how to use CSS beyond how it can alter the <a> tag. Learning XHTML couldn't hurt either.

Ditch the flash. It's rather pointless.

The [close] button in the portfolio popup is pointless. Whidows have close bttons already, even so the buttton doesn't work. If you really want to use it try <a rel="nofollow" href="javascript:self.close()">

Trigger: Well it no longer breaks for me but it broke badly earlier (right frame didn't load and the content on the left was truncated). I must assume I caught you when there were problems.

I think the others have mentioned my other niggles: popup, frames, pointer, etc. so listen to those good people ^^

Emps... I miss ya siggy, where`de go?

Well, it's "broken" in my IE6, but that is probably because of the encoding (did you define the character set?). For some reason, IE likes to screw with my encoding (I view a lot of Korean language pages) if it's not defined by the page. I usually fix that by going to View

Well seen's as you've all pointed out my Html isnt up to scratch is there any through tutorial you could point me to
ane help would be appreciated

Hi Trigger. Check out our newly developed FAQ

You will find many answers to many questions there.

~Binary is best~

A quick search through Google or a trip to the local Borders should give you all the information you need.

Look up information on CSS. Off the bat I can suggest Bluerobot and Glish for helping in your layouts. Keep an eye out for various forms of inspiration and be inspired. We have more specific forums here so any questions you have can be answered.

I just saw you have a second site for review, Ill take a look at that now.
