I did try to keep it sized so that the 800x600 visitors will get it as the whole screen without having to scroll. 2) I remember visiting on dial-up, but I can't remember if it was too slow... there are really only 3 images on the whole site (not including the pages with buttons & banners): 49k, 32k, 6k. Everything else is code. 3) Thank you for telling me - should all be fixed. I don't know what went on there... 4) Which 2 bottom boxes? The left and logo? 5) When I first designed the layout, I was an active member of the [url=http://www.codingforums.com/]codingforums[/url]. Those links were actually used for examples when the newbies would ask how to do things like that. The [css] & [source] are there for my own, just to let other coders know that mine is free and readily viewable; "View-Sources, don't hide them". :) 6) I don't understand what you're telling me... 7) I have tried the site without borders - people get lost and complain that there's no 'seperation of information'. So the borders are there to help focus visitors to the seperate information (main, menu1, menu2). 8) I admit, this site was originally for IE5+/Win only. Again, after hearing so many complaints from NS/Moz/Mac users, I've been trying to get the site to work smoothly in most other browsers and OSs. Last week I noticed that the scrolling links are at the far center left of the screen - I've yet to figure out why they're all the way over there... And for scrollbars in Moz; I've never seen coloured ones in anything other than IE. If you know of the code, please share! :) 9) That's another example for others to see; shows the time and date in my hometown, Murmansk (in case anyone is interested in my radioactive city). 10a) I'm thinking of removing the IP address... does seem a bit strange for some reason. I actually put it there to see my own address, but now that it's burned in my mind, I may take it off. 10b) [ North Pole AutoTrak @ 108kHz ] is a message for some friends of mine. ;) Thanks for the input! ##### WarMage ##### I know there are a lot of people whom are intent on everything being standards compliant; I'm not one of them. Most of the time when someone meantions thing inside my code, I just cringe. :) Personally I like frames/iFrames. Scrolling down a long single page, then having to scroll back up to the side menu makes me feel like I'm going backwards all the time. My basic idea of frames is one for the menu(s) and one for the content. (Does that make sense?) ##### LaSun ##### >the background picture is nice, but seriously distracting as your >foreground elements are transparent. it's really hard to concentrate >on figuring out what the site itself is about. Thank you. The 'transparency' is something I put on the site just to be different than most other sites one would visit - especially one about quantum mechanics (dictionary-style). >speaking of which, i am by no means an engineer or physicist. is >that the reason i'm failing to find the relevance of the title >'Abigail dreams' and the pretty, scenic image to quantum coils >and rocket ignition? Abigail Dreams: the dream I have of designing and building a working eGrav craft. A friend once said to me that if anyone is going to figure out how to build a [warp] engine, I would be the one to do it. I'm no brain, but I think I may have some ideas that can work (funds willing). I've now only one hobby (dream) and that's to get this thing designed, built and running. :) >frames are okay.. general layout is not bad.. but there's just so >much going on visually, i doubt many would make the effort to >hang out and discover what i'd imagine are fascinating articles >on ... whatever it is your site is about =) Whatever my site is about?! LOL. It's hard to bring up such a topic without scaring my visitors. I can't just come out and say I'm trying to build a UFO. LOL, even funny when I hear myself say it! As I look at the image again, I'm thinking I put it there to give a sense of calm, openness, and freedom. The feeling I think we would all have if this project is ever successfully designed and built. If UFOs are real and do travel between stars or even galaxies, imagine the feeling of just going out there... anywhere. But, I can change the image to something else - ideas? :D Great input from all of you, thanks! It helps me a lot. [small]~ Roads? Where we?re going we don?t need, roads! ~[/small] Loading...
