| 643925 | 2008-02-27 06:06:00 | Does the same thing in IE 7. So if it doesnt work in IE 6, 7, Firefox or Konqueror, what does it work with?It should be working, and I noticed this arvo that it isn't, but haven't had a chance to check it out. It certainly works when run on my in-house server. |

| 643926 | 2008-02-27 06:08:00 | From your links page: http://www.pottery-4u.com/ - is this supposed to be a directory page? www.australianwoodfire.com/ - server not found (probably a temporary issue as google last cached it on 19)Doesn't surprise me, as the links were cut and pasted from our current site. One of my last-minutes things-to-do is to verify all those links. |

| 643928 | 2008-02-27 06:13:00 | Perhaps also a subscription form for newsletters and updates. ....Here is a web developer (www.snapfiles.com) tool bar for fire fox that I use to analyze css, images, javascript, and other features...There are a couple of forms. In the sidebar on the "membership" page there is a link to a membership application form, and on the "classes" page there is a link in the body of the page to a class enquiry form. We are not planning to get into online purchasing, as in almost all cases we need to talk to prospective customers before they sign up/buy anything. Perhaps what you have highlighted is that maybe I need to make those links clearer. I use the web developer extension and have found it very useful. |

| 643929 | 2008-02-27 06:14:00 | It'll be because the hover has a background image path set to "../_Do_Not_Upload/Original%20images/ASPnewsOctober2007.gif" which I'm guessing doesn't exist yet.Yeah - I've probably omitted to upload it. The "_Do_not_upload" directory path is a bit of a giveaway... :) | Tony (4941) | ||
| 643930 | 2008-02-27 08:54:00 | Looks good to me :) The only issue I can see is that the bar on the left is fixed and has a fixed height. This means that if it is too high for the screen (one more menu item would do it for me) there would be no way to get to the bottom items. Again with the sidebar the transition from the fiery images to the red background is a bit sudden - perhaps a simple border or a background image for the whole bar could be used? Other than that, great job! |

This means that if it is too high for the screen (one more menu item would do it for me) there would be no way to get to the bottom items.Good point! And I thought I was being so clever in making it fixed.:blush: I actually only did that at the weekend - fortunately thanks to CSS it is a one line change it back to scrolling (I hope). Re the (various, not just yours) comments about the menu background. I actually quite like the "Fiery background" - pottery is all about heat and flames, and the separation of the flames from the red bg gives the menu a bit more coherence (IMHO). The red bg strip on the hover helps with highlighting the chosen menu item. Depending on the browser, it can stretch right across the menu bar, which then contrasts the menu item directly with the red page background strip and makes it stand out. I think this has to go into the "personal preference" basket. |

| 643932 | 2008-02-27 10:09:00 | The newsletter mouseover is now working, and the "Take the tour" on the home page is part-implemented. Click the left hand side of the photo to see inside the studio. | Tony (4941) | ||
