Another question. The top image/nav is an image map. How do I make it load faster and work properly on the first rollover? It will delay and then work. Also once it has been rolled over it works really quickly there on after. Any suggestions?

It messes with my browser.

Get a new browser lol...j/k. What's it doing to your browser?

Should have done it with tables, not sure why I did it this way. The "&nbsp" is just spaces.

In SeaMonkey, "Career Highlights" overlaps the text above. In Konqueror, nothing shows below "Hobbies" except the footer.

One thing that can help is to preload the image using your CSS. Here is a sample code.

<div style="display:none;">
<img src="images/image1.jpg"><img src="images/image2.jpg">etc...
</div>

By putting it inside the <div>, the image will not display but will be loaded into the background. The makes the resource readily available. Also, it would of made formatting much easier to use tables or a CSS to align text. It's also a little more browser friendly.

smitdavi 03-18-2009 07:29 PM
Re: Check it out....
 
can I just put

<div style = "display:none;">

</div>

around the image and it will preload like what your talking about. Sorry for the questions, but it's been so long since I was using CSS

Re: Check it out....
 
Sorry if that was a little complex. I've had that very problem in the past and that was one solution I've used. It's really not a big deal if it just takes a second to load.

I really think Lightbox is one of your better options for displaying the images. There are a few options out there. Some of the ones I know are a little more complex. Probably your best solution is a Windows app (unfortunately). If you can run Windows applications on your Mac, I would suggest checking out Visual Lightbox. I know the frustrations of Windows-only applications as a Linux user. If you need any other help let me know; I'll gladly do what I can to help you out. Even if you just need someone to test something. It's coming along nicely.

Visual Lightbox: http://visuallightbox.com/

#preloadDefaultImages {
width: 0px;
height: 0px;
display: inline;
background-image: url(navhome.jpg);
background-image: url(navchase.jpg);
background-image: url(navnews.jpg);
background-image: url(navschedule.jpg);
background-image: url(navphotos.jpg);
background-image: url(navsponsors.jpg);
background-image: url(navshirts.jpg);
background-image: url(navcontactus.jpg);
}
That's what I ended up doing to preload the rollover images. Seems to work pretty well.

Re: Check it out....
 
It's my font size conflicting with this code:


p { position: absolute;
top: 350px;
left: 275px;
color: white;
font-size: 13px;
width: 300px;}

p1 { position: absolute;
top: 675px;
left: 275px;
color: white;
font-size: 13px;
width: 525px;}

p2{position: absolute;
top: 1200px;
left: 275px;
font-size: 13px;
width: 525px;
color: white;}

p3{position: absolute;
top: 1650px;
left: 285px;
color: white;
size: 18px;}

I have my fonts set bigger for my old eyes and it causes the absolute positioning to be wrong for my screen. I've seen this on a few other sites as well. Now I know what causes it.
