    Question Glide64 Webpage

    I would like people to take a look at the glide64 website. (www.emuxhaven.net/~glide64/index.htm) I would like a straight answer of what you think, and what suggestions you have.

    I am currently:
    - Making an archive section so the page isn't quite as long
    - Making the pictures on the news page thumbnails
    - Adding a few bits of Javascript
    - Adding a flash intro page (?)

    Suggestions would greatly be apreciated.

    P.S. RatTrap do you have any idea how to make layers work with netscape?

    to make layers work in netscape just declare them as divisions. for example:
    <div id="top" style="visibility: show; position: absolute; left: 0; top: 0; z-index: 1">
    information (html) here
    </div>

    <div id="bottom" style="visibility: show; position: absolute; left: 200; top: 200; z-index: 2">
    information (html) here
    </div>

    <div> declares a division, <id> names it, then <style> are all css commands. <left> is how many pixels you want the information to be from the left side of the screen, and <top> is how many pixels you want the information to be from the top of the screen. finally, z-index is what "layer" the information will be on. if you assign it to 1, then everything will be on the first "layer"... and so one.

    hope that helps, maybe RatTrap will have to clear up a few things.

    btw, i love flash intros, there so fun to make, but be sure that you have an option to skip it if you put one on the page.

    I currently am using the <div> layer type. When I view it with netscape, I do not have the option to scroll. It treats it as a non-scrollable image. Unless i am interpriting what you are saying incorrectly... thanks anyway mesman00. ???

    BTW, what do you think of the site?

    P.S. Also I forgot, I am adding rollover buttons in the menu.

    hmm, i'm a little confused by what you saying... what do u mean you don't have the option to scroll down an image. are you talking about a scroll command, or are u tryin to use an <iframe>. if you are tryin an <iframe>, only netscape 6+ supports them. so maybe that is yor problem?

    i've always like the glide64 design, i think it has a different look to it. one thing i would change if i were you are the links. i wouldn't have them change size when you roll over them. i don't like who that looks, but just me, not sure about anyone else

    also, rollover menu = cooL!, and thumnails for the pictures is defs a good idea!

    Thanks for the input mesman00.

    After looking at the Apollo page I have detirmined that Netscape will not support any type of scrollable frame. To overcome Netscape's problem, RatTrap has Netscape user rerouted to a page that uses frames.

    I have another question. On page load, I have a script to maximize the window based on the user resolution. In any of the resolutions under 1024 * 768, the text frame is not in a very good spot. With the <div> layer, is there a way to set the position to be relative instead of absolute. Or, after detected the resolution how could I use a script to move it over about 5px.

    I'd definitely use some other font. Verdana is nice.

    Martin --> Thanks, I will change it.

    Also, I have another question: Does anyone know where to get a decent hit counter for free?

    try here for a free web counter:
    http://digits.com/create.html

    also, for relative position in the <div>, i think you can just change the position from absoulte to relative, i think that is.

    style="position: relative"

    Thanks for the hit-counter link.

    However, with the <div> problem, I have tried multiple things, such as the word relative. When I play with the postition, it normally takes everything out of the layer and puts it at the bottom of the page.
