working on a new site, need some feedback..

[79CamaroDiva]

Specifically I need someone who knows they are using IE 7 to check this, I already know it works in other browsers, but so far it hasn't worked in my IE but I'm on a mac and IE hasn't been updated in 5 years for mac.

I need to know if the menu works. You're supposed to be able to roll over it and the rest will pop up. It works in FF and Camino and Safari, if anyone with other browsers want to check it out, let me know. Also let me know what you think of the general layout of the site.. No, its not 100% done, thats why its still in a test folder ;)

k well i have IE6, not 7, but it doesnt work in 6...just a white box

[79CamaroDiva]

yeah.. i knew that. thats why i was asking for 7s.. i want to know if i can suggest to update or if i need to redo the whole damn thing because IE sucks.

[GP99GT]

IE does suck, thats why i never upgraded it to 7 :lol:

[79CamaroDiva]

unfortunately, over 3/4 of my customers still use IE :banghead:

[Knipps]

i usually don't even grant IE access to the internet but the only difference i see between it in FF and IE is that the box on the left is white and only changes to purple when it's hovered over

[ShitOnWheels]

Melissa, it sort of works. You cannot see the text inside the menu, but if you roll the mouse over it, you can see the text and the next menu pops up, but again you can't see the text until you roll over each line. I used IE7 to view it.

I'm running IE v.7.0.5730.11, and this is what I get;

I was trying to upload a pic myself, but couldn't get it to resize right. This is exactly what I got tho.

[Rich189]

Im using ie 7 as well and get the same white boxes

[79CamaroDiva]

how come microsoft is supposed to be the big giant in the computing world, but their browser cant read code that other browsers can see perfectly fine?

any web junkies have an idea how to fix this? :( pewp.

[SteveR]

for a fast response, you can probably try this, go to your MySpace, click on forums, then computers & technology, then general. That might work. Theres a lot of computer people on there all day long lol

Its easy, just hit the "Print Screen" button, then open up MS Paint and click paste. :D

Yeah I did, but I couldn't get it to upload to the FTP I was using (I use Boon's bbbracing webspace to host most of my stuff). So I tried to do it through this site, but it was too large, and I couldn't get it to just resize the picture versus cropping the picture to the dimensions. I don't have photoshop on my laptop for some reason, otherwise I'd just have used that.

While I have a thread kinda hijacked, and i know what it looks like now, how's the move looking?

Chalk up another white box on the left with IE7

[79CamaroDiva]

yeah.. now you can all see that IE completely sucks.. mozilla FTW

What is the background supposed to be?

Some of your URL paths are relative to your individual computer and not a location on your web server.

[BonzoHansen]

unfortunately, over 3/4 of my customers still use IE :banghead:

Right. Like 95% of users use IE. And many will be on 7.


I get what Steve is showing on 7. I have 6 on my work laptop if you need me to try that.

[79CamaroDiva]

What is the background supposed to be?

Some of your URL paths are relative to your individual computer and not a location on your web server.

that background is supposed to be the same for the main background, the box background and the menu background. they're all the same gradient. which URLs are you finding are relative to my computer?

[Anti_Rice_Guy]

Menu works fine, except it doesn't lead me to anything. And what is that blank white outlined box thats huge to the right of the menu. Very hard to read the bright yellow on white though.

[WildBillyT]

Example in your style sheet:

background-image: url(file:///Macintosh HD/Users/melissademarcky/Desktop/work/2008 Island Web/images/bg.gif);
overflow: auto;
}
box style {

[79CamaroDiva]

Works fine for me, minus that blank white outlined box thats huge to the right of the menu. Very hard to read the bright yellow on white though.

its not supposed to be bright yellow on white.. thats what im trying to fix :razz:

box style {

... interesting.. Dreamweaver isnt the god its cracked up to be..

[WildBillyT]

... interesting.. Dreamweaver isnt the god its cracked up to be..

Yeah, it does do some zany **** from time to time. Can't beat it for rapid development but some of the paths and nested tags it comes up with can be a bitch.

[79CamaroDiva]

well, its coming along better... now just the first menu is still white, im digging through the code tryign to find out why, btu cant figure it out.. the rest comes up right enough that i cant complain..

[ShitOnWheels]

While I have a thread kinda hijacked, and i know what it looks like now, how's the move looking?

Obviously not this week. It's looking like March 20. We're trying to get an earlier date (original close date on our sale was supposed to be Dec 31...we've just had problems after problems with our buyer, and it was the only offer). It's actually our seller holding it up now because they can't get into the house they are buying until then, and have 3 kids in schools in the town.

[BigAls87Z28]

menu is whtie with yellow letters outlined in yellow. When going over the different things, it goes to blue background while the letters are yellow, but around the drop boxes is a thick white boarder.

Just tested this in Opera 9.21 for linux at work, and the menus all appear fine. I doubt you'll get that combination on the site ever really, but it works :D

You, being a Mac loyalist, should know by now that almost everything works better than Microsoft.
