    PokemonXtra.com - The Premier Pok?mon Community!

    Pok?mon Xtra has just opened for the public! Though it is brand new, there are many, many features and upcoming content for our viewers. I am in search of staff members, so if you're up to it, email me ;) Comments & feedback appreciated,

    looking good Chris. Just a couple of problems need sorting out. Take a look at the text in the main section. It goes off the edge of the template. But other that that I like the layout. I think in a few weeks this site will look great ;-)
     
    I like the look of your site. Although i have just updated my site with different template selections thats a very nice site.

    Few things. It takes a while to load on 56K. I don't have 56k but i was on my mums computer which does and it took ALONG *** time. Also, are those links up the top of the site (PPN, Vroad) affiliates or just in general links?
     
    I think you have a very good site there. The only problem I have is that it isn't Mozilla-friendly. I recomend you fix that since there are a lot of more people swicthing to Mozilla and when viewed in Mozilla, it looks all out of wack.
     
    Thanks for pointing those things out everyone.

    Slowness: There is a very large image image file (190 KB) that is used on every page, if may be able to reduce the size some :/

    Template: Currently Mozilla & Safari aren't browser friendly on PX. The coding I use doesn't seem to read correctly on those broswers.

    Links: Victory Road & Pok?mon Palace Network are associates/affiliates. VRoad is 100%, but I'm still awaiting PPN's confirmation. Applications accepted, everyone ;)
     
    Code is universal. If it ain't workin on 1 browser in ain't workin on the rest

    Do you need any help with it?

    Code may be universal, but some parts of code is not. When new code is released, the devlopers of the browser have to update the browser to be able to read it. IE is the most updated because there are programers working on it everyday. Mozilla has less people working on updating it, so some code won't be readable by Mozilla.
    What Chris did was that he used code that Mozilla can't read yet and only IE can.
     
    Hmmm, it looks pretty good...

    Although the drop-down menu sticks out like a sore thumb.
     
    funny.. it didnt take any time at all to load on my 56k modem... i dunno
     
    Feel free to apply, we are in need of just a couple more staff members.

    I took a quick look at the source code...

    You use direct numbers, that may be a problem, due to different resolutions...

    Also, at the bottom, you use a center tag, which centers it accross the entire page... >>
     
    Yes, try making the banners, nav bars and a few other images like width="100%" or something like that. Because this way people can come along with 800x600 res, 1024x768 res and anything else and it will fit fine on the site.

    Using % makes the image resizable in every way.

    I use IE (Internet Explorer) 99.5% of the time I code a template/layout, so I don't recieve errors (alignment errors appearently) compared to Mozilla's mass amount of errors. Again, I hope to figure out a new coding method for all viewers' likeness. :/
     
    I use to do the same. I coded it so it would fit on my screen and i forgot about everyone else. I have kinda changed that so all my sites are multi browser friendly.
     
    Yeah, one thing that you can always do to check multi-browser compatibility is just to simply download the other browsers.

    And from what I've heard is that IE only reads the code the "right" way is because it doesn't read it the right way. FireFox/Opera/etc read the code as it was originally designed to be seen, while IE changes it somehow, allowing you to make little screw-ups without killing the page.

    ...but that may be wrong.
     
    Yeah, I don't know the sites for these different browsers so i can't really judge it. But yeah, IE doesn't get updated much at all.
