Site Redesign - 8/30/2008 16:21:38
I'm re-doing a site and would appreciate any and all comments:
http://www.atrainerontheroad.com/test.htm
That's the test page and pretty much any of the links on that page will take you to the old version so please ignore those unless you want to compare to the old (crappy) version.
Thanks much.

Looks pretty good. Getting 5 inches of horizontal scrolling on my 800 res monitor.

Roger,
Re-do sets-up well; information develops and displays very effectively left to right (instead of vertical) formatting, plenty of white space and judicious use of graphics. Loads fast. White space at the bottom below text should be elimated.
Like Don, I'm getting left to right scrolling but we've discussed this before. At 1024x768 it's barely noticeable because of padding.

Thanks for that input. I checked it resizing the browser but could you do me a favor and confirm this for me?
You should be able to see all of the first 2 columns and all of the menu without horiz scrolling; can you?
Thanks.

This is probably a daft question but, on the efficiency front, why do all the list items have a class set? Wouldn't it be less work and less code just to refer to them from the id or class of the UL (if you see what I mean) and/or if there's an exception class in there somewhere, add it in via an if/else rule with PHP or whatever.
Edit: The opera problem is caused by helpme2.js

Opera rarely chucks up problems but it's innovative and I would definitely download it.
This is the line in the script that's physically causing the alert:
function GetXmlHttpObject(handler)
{
var objXmlHttp=null
if (navigator.userAgent.indexOf("Opera")>=0)
{
alert("Opera not supported...")
return;
}
Apparently older versions of Opera didn't support the XMLHttpRequest Object (which is why they've added this bit of the script) BUT since 7.6 - it does!
So, pretty simple solution - just remove the "IF" bit which chucks up that Opera alert - Opera users tend to update their browsers regularly.
