hello…

ahh – ya. in this example, it’s a security thing that firefox won’t let you do…ie warns you first but firefox just disallows it…

here’s a page that i made to show you how it would work and how to see the javascript console to further debug stuff like this:

hope that helps!

hello…

should work fine – mozilla is very close window javascript friendly….

do you have some specific examples?

hello…

depends on what languages your server supports, but there are a ton of free solutions out there…here’s a few:

perl: https://www.scriptarchive.com/guestbook.html
asp: https://www.aspobjects.com/ASP_Scripts/Guestbook/
php: https://www.2createawebsite.com/enhance/free-guestbook.html

a friendly reminder about comment pages/guestbooks…they suffer from 2 things:

1. spam – you have to watch them constantly to make sure people don’t post junk

2. lack of traffic: a website with an empty comment board says “nobody comes here, so why are you still here”…not a good message to potential visitors…

hope that helps!

hello…

well – on os x here and videos loaded fine – didn’t try my win box, though…

the site was ok. you have a very mixed group of videos there – one very angry and fast with rammstein and then soft wedding ones right next to it. from a biz perspective, i thought your design strongly favored the former and would be a real turn-off to the clients who wanted the latter… :-/

maybe create a more neutral home page that welcomes all and then send the respective people to their own sections that present more of a conducive environment for each?

hello…

only practice will get you good at web page design, unfortunately. there’s not a formula that you can apply to get a good site… :-/

try looking at an inspiration site like coolhomepages.com and see what hits you – then do mockups in photoshop or your tool of choice and convert to html after that!

i know easier said than done, but building pages isn’t always very easy…

hello…

short answer is that you have to figure out the height of the inner window of the browser (different for firefox/safari/etc vs ie, but doable) and then adjust the height of the div after that – then add an “onresize” event to the body and run that same function as they resize…

as for scrolling – you need to add an overflow param to your css for the div for that to kick in…

hello…

that could be nice – i’d suggest looking around the net at some other sites and see what you see that you like – then make your own version of that and you’re good to go! 🙂

be sure to keep us updated on your progress!

hello…

definitely check these 2 styles at the top:

– subhead
– FWTableContainer1501158286

made a local copy of your file and if i rename/disable those 2, the content moves in ie/windows as it should. i didn’t poke into your css much, but you likely have some positioning code that is causing that to happen…

[TweenGuy] “Also tell me how do you like it? Any suggestions.”

tried it on a dual g5 box with safari and my browser almost crashed. while i would love to see your animations, i will tell you that it’s generally considered _horrible_ usability to drop massive animations on pages without warning people – especially your home page…

what would be much nicer for visitors is to have a clean plain-text home page that introduces yourself to the user and lets them know about you and what you do – then offer links with information to your animations so that people can view them at their leisure…

just my $.02 worth! 🙂
