2010-02-02 Thread PurencoolGmail 

Hi everyone

I have slowly going through all the tips this group

But I have on fix i can't fix and that is the foot ul
it does not mater what I do I cannot get the  or  or 
padding or margin to move the css top down can anyone see
an issue?

That makes sense. However, I'm not sure it's ethical to market yourself as a
Javascript programmer while you are only learning Javascript.

I didn't fire up Firefox, but the Javascript console in Chrome says
"Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected Identifier". The error is in line 94,
where you return eval(rFree CalculatoreturnValue);  without ever setting
CalculatorreturnValue. I don't see how this would work in any browser or any
operating system.

Also, why duplicate functionality that already exists in jQuery. You 
can get fully functional fading and a plug-in calculator that work 
across all current browsers and all operating systems using jQuery.

I caught a "border:hidden" in one of the h1 elements. Not wanting to sound like 
a fool so I googled it first to see if this is something I have not learned to use after 
all these years writing CSS, but I find no references.

The design is clean, pleasant to look at, but the jagged curve image spoils it. 
It looks more bevel than curve, I think it will echo well with your logo if 
it's smooth curve.

And why is that emptiness between left column and main content? White space is 
important element for a design/layout, emptiness isn't. Also, the menu items at 
footer section is best centralized vertically within the blue bar.

PS: Are you *sure* this is all you want to know?

What does the question mean? Too much CSS for what? If you're 
concerned about the size of your stylesheets, the two supporting the 
home page are only 5 KB so I would say No. If you're worried about the 
number of CSS rules, perhaps because you're afraid it will be 
difficult to maintain or degrade browser response time, I would say 
flatly No. Or do you mean that you're worried that the site might be 
over-styled? I would say no, it looks simple and open (which I like). 
I'm not positive what over-styled might look like, perhaps with too 
much decorative detail, but your site doesn't have that problem.


I do see some problems with the site most of which have nothing to do 
with CSS. (Yes, I know you didn't ask.)


- Neither the image fader nor the calculator worked properly in my Win 
Firefox 3.6 or IE8. Shall we assume they're still under development?


- The calculator breaks on text-only zoom enlargement. It would be 
simple enough to style its widths in ems so that it grows naturally 
with text zoom.


- I dislike the fact that your nav menus don't have hover states or an 
indicator of which page we're currently on.


- The footer menu text looks too high in the blue bar at normal zoom, 
and both menus quickly break cosmetically on text-only zoom. (It's 
easy to make menus with stretchable graphics.)


- The demos aren't enough to "sell" your apps. I recommend that you 
take a few paragraphs to detail their functionality, scope, 
limitations, and flexibility. I don't want to have to download a 
script merely to find out whether I can use it; that feels pushy and 
invasive.


- It's irritating that your demo pages lose the nav menus so the only 
way to get back to the rest of your site is by Backing up. Keep in 
mind that many people will land on a demo page right from a search 
engine or other link and you want to make it easy for them to browse 
your site from there.


- I think you should let people view the demos immediately, either 
right there on your home page or on the Services page. Why do we need 
to go to a separate demo page at all? Far better to integrate the apps 
right into your own site as an implicit demonstration of their 
integratability.


- Personally I think the delay on your fader is at least twice as long 
as it should be. Making people wait to watch a cosmetic effect is 
irritating.


- Your home page headline "Latest Product or Service" is odd. First, 
the ambiguity of the headline is mysterious; after all, it's your site 
so you should know whether the content below is a product or a service 
which are two very different things. Second, you don't have a Products 
page listed in your nav menus, and the Product or Service featured on 
your home page is in fact a product, creating an unnecessary and 
off-putting confusion. Perhaps "Services" in the top nav menu should 
be P & S.




Any feed back would be great and you don't have to
be nice.


*Whew!*

Good luck with your site.

I tried your calculator example on Mac OSX 10.6 in Firefox, Safari and
Chrome and it did not work in any of them.

Also, why duplicate functionality that already exists in jQuery. You can get
fully functional fading and a plug-in calculator that work across all
current browsers and all operating systems using jQuery.
