1. Text of validation errors sometimes overlaps 'error' icon2. When email address and confirm email address fields have invalid entries, error should be 'enter valid email format', not 'values must match'.3. If edentiti is targeting Australian market, I would validate state and postcode as well.
4. Regarding 'Add additional address/email/phone' buttons: 4.1 When clicked, error messages dissappear, only error icons are left. 4.2 Do you really need a postback? 4.3 These buttons make the page too 'heavy'. I would make them looking like your 'Cancel' link. Also, I would not put arrow on them. Arrow makes sense when you move between the pages, like 'Back' and 'Next'. For 'Add address, etc.', it does not make sense because you are staying on the same page.
 4.4. If you have 'Add' button, I suggest to have 'Remove' as well. Example, GMail Contacts5. I would not use button graphic to show 'creating edentiti progress'. visitor is used that buttons can be clicked. When click does not produce any result it is a bit frustrating.
6. It is more common to use red * or red tick to show which fields are required. Cheers, Irina.On 3/3/06, Lachlan Hunt

2006-03-04 Thread Steve Ferguson
A quick scan with WebLight turned up a few problems, see the report  
at http://www.illumit.com/reports/edentiti.html


The problem found on https://edentiti.com/about-partners has me baffled.

Here's the source:
Epicorp - a href=http://www.epicorp.com.au/www.epicorp.com.au// 
a/p

pimg src=/images/epicorp.jpg alt=Epicorp //p

It's missing a quote at the end of the href so the img and the link  
don't work.


The baffling part is. It validates!

Check out http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=https%3A%2F%2Fedentiti.com 
%2Fabout-partnerscharset=%28detect+automatically% 
29doctype=Inlinesp=1verbose=1


If you search for epicorp you can see the mangled href and srcless img.

Can anyone explain to me why the validator isn't flagging the  in  
the href?

Hi Lachlan,

Just a design opinion...

The main area (#main) looks a little squeezed between the rather heavy 
right and left sides. Maybe make the h2 bigger and make the intro below  
strong. (It is, but double strong!!... I don't know if that's why it 
doesn't come up as strong on my screen (W2K/FF 1.5). Also the #main text 
is not the same size on all pages! IMO the text would stand out more if 
you used the darker blue from the logo instead of the paleish blue you 
use right now. If the text is increased the text in the boxes on the 
left side drops out of the bg img. Maybe Thierrys TIP would work nice 
here?


Besides that I looks great... and I'm crazy over the form validation.

The layout can't cope with any degree of font-resizing in any browser,
which I think is a weak point.


In my testing, I can resize a substantial amount before seeing any 
problems occur, and even then it's just slightly misaligned background 
images which don't affect the readability of the content too much.  The 
text will eventually over lap the columns (especially on the 3-col home 
page), but it has to get quite big and I'd rather the user disabled 
stylesheets in such cases or we provided an alternative larger 
font/single-column stylesheet.



Noticed delay (on a slow connection) for those '#secondary-nav'
background-images to change on :hover first time. Maybe a single
repositioned background would work better..?


That was considered and even attempted, but I couldn't find a way to do 
it in a way that didn't cause other problems without spending too long 
on the issue.  Now that I have more time, I may be able to find a way to 
do it.



PS. I know the markup is currently XHTML and I'm aware how much of a
 hypocrite that makes me :-)... plans to convert it to HTML4 later on.


Not much of an issue :-)
However, are there any reasons for not using '(X)HTML Strict' on that
page/site?


Yes.  The JavaScript and CSS were not fully written to deal with real 
XHTML issues.  With the exception of the DOM script from my library 
which was written to handle both conditions, the rest wasn't designed 
and tested under XML conditions because my original templates used HTML 
4 Strict.


It wasn't until the back end developer came along later and was only 
relatively new to programming JSP/JSF, we ended up having to accept the 
default output of XHTML in favour of fixing the other more major issues 
including invalid/ill-formed and inaccessible generated markup.

Really?  Maybe the server can't cope with the load very well, it's loads 
just as fast in Safari for me, as it does in everything else.  I find IE 
slightly slower because of the IE7 and the DOM patch scripts 
initialising, but nothing too serious.

offtopic class=slightly

You may want to send them a copy of Steve Krug's Don't Make Me Think. 
This is a big no no as far as conventions are concerned. My opinion is 
that it looks like ad clutter below the header. Because of the line used 
to delineate the navigation it looks like content not a site id and when 
the page loads I don't know what site I am on and what it is about. 
There is no tagline to give meaning to the site. I may just leave 
because it isn't apparent as to what the site purpose is.


I think that there is not enough pop (visually) for the calls to action. 
From a marketing standpoint I find it hard to figure out what I want to 
do next and there is no lead to the action by color, shape etc. We do 
use these cues regardless of the content.


From a designer and marketer point of view there should be a graphical 
flow chart with the service explanation that shows what this does.


/offtopic

The orange color and font-weight of the Edentiti is a safe secure 
private place for your identification information. is too light and the 
contrast is low. I think it either needs to be heavier, larger or 
reverse the colors of the h2 and the above sentence. BTW what is with 
the nested strong elements? Is this countering the effect in FF?


Don't beat yourself up over the XHTML thing -- it is called working in 
the real world.

Also, when fixing this typo, you should come up with different page 
titles as you currently have several pages, including For 
Organisations, Partners, and Staff  board details that all have 
the same misspelled title.  When it comes to search engine optimization, 
a unique and clearly descriptive title will help in the page rankings.

I got the same delay already mentioned on the over state of the graphic

are from the pov of the visitor. Hope they help.  An expectation -- when I
clicked on About, I expected to see info About the organization, as I had
already read about the service on the intro page.  I learned nothing new
about the organization on that particular page, though there were 2 more
pages linked there about staff and partners -- perhaps that's enough though.
I wonder, since the text on that About page summarizes what is on the intro
page if it would work better as the intro page, It would also possibly fit
and the visitor would not have to scroll to read the rest.  But just a

something that isn't a joke like both betas 1 and 2 were before I bother
testing/fixing with it - the one to be released after Mix '06 looks slightly
more promising)

For all you DOM Scripting fans, if you go to step 2 of the Create an
Edentiti section, there's a funky form validation script you might want to
check out.

PS. I know the markup is currently XHTML and I'm aware how much of a
hypocrite that makes me :-), but, given the time constraints, it was a
limitation of the back end solution we had to accept, with plans to convert
it to HTML4 later on.

Took _minutes_ for the home page to display, and once it did, it still
wasn't finished loading things.

Mac OS 10.4.5 Safari 2.0.3


Really?  Maybe the server can't cope with the load very well, it's loads 
just as fast in Safari for me, as it does in everything else.  I find IE 
slightly slower because of the IE7 and the DOM patch scripts initialising, 
but nothing too serious.
