Preserved Topic: HELP!!! I need the Doc' Medicine Re: Crystal Script!!

To say that I hold Doc Ozone in the highest esteem due to all the inspiration he have given me is only a part of it. Took me long enough but I finally got my site up & running. My biggest obstacle presents itself on my splash page using the Ozone Crystal script. I am no script expert, therefore perhaps someone here can help me with my dilemma. http://www.grafxemporium.com
The problem is the excessive scrolling the script presents both vertically & hotizontally. Is there any way of preventing this.....& why does my page take 4ever to load with the script installed versus without? I'm desperate!! The more I try to fix it, the more I mess it all up. Thx for any help I can get!! This is my 1st post, hope I got it right!

hey hey...

scoped the site real quick. i couldn't figure out the scrolling problem you were having, i mean i couldn't even find it.

i just wanted to add though, i had some funky trouble with the buttons on the first page. namely the 3 buttons on the left side were a bitch to click sometimes, like they wouldn't even recognize my mouse was over them.. hrm...

That's another glitch that the script seems to add which I forgot to mention earlier. The 3 buttons to the left sometimes click, sometimes not, depending if I "reload". Without the script, the buttons all function properly. I am quite certain that it is in the way I have installed the script that is causing the problems. Any script experts out there?

AAAAAHHH you use Dreamweaver to do your rollover code. Pre made code bad! Actually I hate debugging this kind of code. It ads a lot of stuff that is really hard to follow.

Why don't you take a look at Doc's javascript rollover script and steal that. It would clean things up a lot and probably take care of your probs.

Thx Bitdamagaed!! I'll give it a shot & see what gives next...I've got nothing to lose. Btw, how did you know I used Dreamweaver?

Dreamweaver code has all those MM_ in front of all it's javascript functions ;-)

For what it's worth, I visited the site on a Mac with Netscape 4.5 and a cable modem and it loaded fast and trouble free. The buttons worked fine and the crystal script was slick as anything. And .. the site is gorgeous! Whose lips are those !! :-)

hahahahaaaaaa....

cheers.mikey.milker

worked fine and beautiful for me...

Thx for your replies. It's good to know that many are experiencing glitch free loading. I'll try & get rid of some of the extra Dtramweaver tags to help the page load faster on 56K modems & try Doc's rollover code to see if this also helps clear & speed things up. GrafxGal.

GrafxGal:
I dont see a problem, everything loaded and worked fine for me. The only problem I have is those circling ball things in your intro page. Im assuming you got them from the Doc. There cool for a lil while, but soon they annoy me <img border=0 align=absmiddle src="http://www.ozones.com/forum/frown.gif">

I like your site GrafxGal. Very nice! I also had problems with the links on the first page, but not on any of the others. It would be very beneficial for you to start learning some JavaScript. You've got a lot of talent in the creative dept. and to be able to program your site without the aid of Dreamweaver's functions would make you even more of a valuable commodity to any company and to yourself. Plus you'll probably find yourself wanting to create creative custom scripts that you won't be able to create with Dreamweaver such as Doc's script on that first page. Other than that I was very impressed.

Okay I know what you are talking about with the scrolling. If you mouse over by the sides, and the jewels follow, when they go outside the browser window you get the scrollbars all over the place.

Here is a fix. Its a good trick and I use it a lot.

Make your main page a frameset something like this:

<html>
<frameset rows="100%,*,*" frameborder="0" border="0" framespacing="0">
<frame name="main" src="main.htm" noresize frameborder="0" scrolling="no" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0">
</frameset>
</html>

and then load your page in that. (make sure though to change the links in the page to add TARGET=New in them otherwise you are going to lose the scrolling on pages that load in here.

Its a trade off but this seems the solution for you.
