RE: css rollovers not working AOL Customer - 7/1/2005 11:14:45
Great thank you!
That darn Yahoo server adds that stuff and I am unable to control that extra code. I think it is to get stats.
The site is graphics heavy - I'm having some trouble bringing it down without loosing quality - I was concerned about that the whole time but the client insisted on those specific elements on the home page. We tried plain text but he liked the graphic text.
Thanks for the ALT note. I will go back in this weekend and update all the ALT tags.
The little code at the top is just my identifier (means nothing) and it seemed to test well in the browsers and the validator didn't catch it so I figured it was ok.
Thank you for your feedback.

lol, that is just my identifier, doesn't mean anything. The validator didn't pick it up so I figured it was okay.
Thanks for the ALT note, I'll get those this weekend.
After reviewing the validator again I noticed that my main CSS is actually not the one I should be using. I created 4 different CSS's, 3 for the Product galleries and 1 for the rest of the pages. The 1 CSS for all pages has some of the old Product gallery image references and I guess it is loading them and showing a large download time in the validator. Thanks for finding that!
Thanks for your feedback and help.

If the extra code at the top doesn't cause a problem then cool!
You've got a nightmare client haven't you? He's basically told you to:
a. Design a forumula one car - but he has to be able to keep up with it on his bike (AOL)!
b. He wants it stretched, with a minibar and jacuzzi!
Well - given that you probably want to murder your client right now, you've got a very nice looking site from it!

Ah yes, he is extremely happy with the results. I also verbally forced him (told him that I wouldn't publish his site until he reviewed it because he needed to see what 80% of his customers would see, hehe) to go to one of his friends or family's house to see the high-speed, high tech version. He really loved the CSS rollover menu & galleries. This is my first time using those and I also really like them.
He (John Brown) called me this morning and asked me to mail him an invoice so he could pay me as soon as possible. That's great news.
He was a great client and understood (after a little explaination) his limits and boundaries of his internet access, browser and software version issues. The funny thing with him is that he has a website but doesn't use email. I sort of understand though because he and his crew are on the road a bunch.
I think I'm going to spend a little bit more time on it this weekend to see if I can that graphic size down a bit. Thank you.

Nice site.
Your "Content-Type" meta tag needs to go in between the <head> </head> tags.
As Tailslide mentioned, your copyright can easily go in a metatag:
<meta name="copyright" CONTENT="insert copyright statement here.">
