[quote] Right now your menu just feels wrong [/quote] Are just as useful to me as how many noodles you've had for supper yesterday. Screencaps, for example, make such feedback MUCH more useful. bottom line - giving feedback should be about "how the other guy can USE it" to be constructive. How can I use your feeling, if I don't understand it? It's sad because with some proper phrasing, it would help a lot. (for example, since I have updated the page about 5 times and republished before you posted, I am NOT even sure which version your are talking about - let alone understanding how you FEEL about it from this distance). Understand also that Doc's approach is completely different (he uses px positioned layers and absolute positionning afaik, as opposed to % in my case, and relative positionning) also. The trade is clear and simple : easier to maintain in my case, but I get to have to deal with liquid design challenges. The similarity stops in that they both are brown elastic menus. I also would like to point out that some advice can be negative even - like poi's desire to stroke a right way to do things as IF THERE WAS SUCH AN ABSOLUTE IDEAL. The only "right" way, imho, is one that works as expected. Comments of that kind are both a helper, and a pain in the ass depending on how it is balanced : I've been in IT for 10 years, poi is VERY FREQUENTLY recommending his way as the best. Not only he makes me feel like he looks down on me - thank God I do not take it personal, but the above "quick sample" he whacked together is not exactly impressive, nor is it getting the job done. It's clearly 5 miles away of a usable widget in the context where I need it. That's why I always seem to be rejecting poi's feedback firsthand : all respect where it is due, but.. ALL I GIVE A DAMN ABOUT HERE ARE DESKTOP/LAPTOP BROWSERS, THE MAIN AND MOST RECENT ONES, AND HAVING THINGS WORK RAPIDLY SO I CAN BUILD UP THE REST. LI has turned out to be the most obsolete thing in this case - 0 benefit for some wasted time. And the single timer approach, while correct if I wanted to spare resources for display on a C64, is adding more constraints than it is helping SO FAR. These are among the reasons why I didn't ask for poi's example when he offered it. Now please, all of you who genuinely want to help me, concentrate your efforts on the site reviews where another important website for my business is getting a lifting. And since I am done with updating the elastic part of my menu, feedback is relevant from now on - but make it clear, I don't have the time so sort between "feelings", "impressions", "emotions", a thing for web standards, and all other things that I can't derive facts from.
