Old & New website

Ahhh, you listened...AWESOME. Some text is needed as I don't know what your site is about. Main page, might want to make the menu links smaller for text as it will still look sharp. Other pages, might want to think about turning the alpha (opacity) up a bit. I know you want to show of the fade, but sometimes a subtle change is cool to. Works fine without javascript turned on BUT... in IE8 things go wonky. Think about a fallback for it, like using modenizr.

Hi,

thanks for your feedback!
You're right about the aplha (opacity); I was thinking myself it needed to be a bit more visual.

Some text is needed as I don't know what your site is about.
There is already an "about" section in de main navigation. And I tried to keep the menu blocks quite self-explanatory, along with some additional info that transitions in when hovered overd the blocks. But some extra text on the reception page couldn't hurt I guess.

On the other hand; I found out just recently about IE not handling the CSS as good or differently as the other main browsers. I'm working on this too, but need to do some more loop ups, since I'm just getting started with HTML/CSS/PHP/SQL/JS ...

Thanks again for the tips! ;-)

Oo, nice! I like!

The images on the Video Games page redirect back to the front page instead of showing the images.

And Firefox 14 does not like FancyBox.

Indeed. I'm still developping / adjusting the website. Not all content is available yet. I already did put some image-links, "dead" links if you will, just to show what the final website will feature eventually. But I'm working on it ;-)

And Firefox 14 does not like FancyBox.
What do you mean, could you specify? As far as I can check (my website) in Firefox, the fancybox works alright?

When I click on the images, I am taken to a page containing just the image itself, as if there was no reference to FancyBox at all and it was only a link to the image. (By this point, I'm starting to wonder if I downloaded a bad Firefox.)

Why does the logo link to http://be.bing.com/ on the guestbook page?
Thanks for notifying, I wasn't aware of this. This is a left over linke from when I was just trying how links were working in HTML. All title-links should point to the main-paige now!

Just tested in Firefox again, the fancybox works OK.
Don't know if others experienced the same problem, but didn't get any other feedback on this kind of issues.

Maybe, thanks for rechecking if you will, when you've reinstalled your firefox! ;-)

Hey!

My vote goes absolutely to the new one, as I am not a fan of flash pages. The idea, design and coding part itself are just great, though it's true that it literally asks some IE fallbacks, because it's quite boring in IE. Also, I hope you are just kidding with the form design in guestbook :)

Thanks!

Indeed, I still need to do this / figure out how to do this.
I didn't know about IE not supporting CSS well, or differently. I'm working on it.

Also, I hope you are just kidding with the form design in guestbook
If you mean the outline, that is corrected now. Otherwise I'd like to what you mean exactly, thanks.

... I wonder why no one did put anything in the guestbook ...?

Yeah, the form looks much better now, yet I'd use a bit of padding to each text field and probably play a little with fonts - but guess that's just a question of one's taste. :)

Edit: And I forgot about the button. I quite dislike having regular windows/OS buttons in the middle of beautiful CSS based designs. :)

update: GAMANGA.com

Hi everyone,

I updated the website a little, following the feedback I received:

* artwork + videogame galleries have been redesigned;

* some commented the website being too dark
>> I removed the opacity from the pictures in the videogames menu select, and made the pictures a bit larger.

* some commented not to have an idea what a particular buttonclick would do, ex. different videogames-pictures lead to ...?
>> here, also enlarged the pictures a bit + removed opacity property + introduced an hover effect, zooming in to a picture with extra info about what lies behing that particular button/picture.

* the font-family within the general content should be easier to read now

*** still working on adding more content ***
*** still working on fixing the differences between the browsers (IE non-prior)***


Hope you'll check it out get back with feedback and suggestions.
I'd like to know about if you see any shocking differences between FireFox & Chrome??

Greetz ;-)

update GAMANGA.COM

I'd like to know about if you see any shocking differences between FireFox & Chrome??

there are some minor differences between firefox (my favorite + default) and chrome (outline navigation menubar goes a bit wrong / not centered).

To fix this, I'd like to set up a specific stylesheet.css for Chrome (stylechr.css):

In the header:

HTML:
<link href="CSS/myCSS_style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
= default stylesheet

AND

PHP:
<script type="text/javascript">
    if (navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase().indexOf('chrome')!=-1)
    document.write('<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="CSS/stylechr.css"/>')
    
    </script>
stylesheet to be applied only when browsing in Chrome.

when I do this, the browsers recognize this new stylesheet; no problem with that. But the issue is that the Chrome-specific stylesheet is applied to all browsers.

Wish someone could help, THX!
