Re: [css-d] Same old Hat (new)
Splash pages are bad (usability- and search positioning-wise). The same is true for links opening in new windows, full screen windows, pointless flash animations, links as images and other stuff you have to talk your customer out off before starting to code; sometims, after they gave up on popups and flash and such you feel compelled to meet them halfway on something... Take a peek at http://tinyurl.com/2rzpzn for an example I've put out last week. Involves scripting, so I won't elaborate further on this list. Write me off-list if you're interested in the uncompressed script. djn [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello all.

I remember reading a while back about how splash pages etc were coming back into style, and how disappointing this was. I understand all the accessibility concerns surrounding splash pages, but my question is, were I to want to design a site that had a large photo as it's main intro page, is there any way I can do this as ok for standards-based design methods? I mean, in my particular position there are many photos etc that I would love to use as a graphical introduction, and would really rather not be incapable of doing that? That's all for now. Thanks so much for any possible help.

Daniel Since your question has nothing to do with CSS, a nothing to do with CSS method for achieving a splash page (if you decide to go that sometimes annoying route) is to use a timed meta attribute in the head of the document.

Splash pages themselves don't go against any standards as far as I know, they're just horribly annoying. The only accessibility issue I'm aware of is the fact that when you go to example.com, you expect to get to example.com, not a page with a link -to- example.com. I guess just make sure that if the images used have any content value that they have alt's. But if I ever stumble across your site, I'll be hitting the back button. __ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
