My first two sites - 12/19/2001 14:04:07   
I really would appreciate feedback on my first two efforts:

1. www.iopsa.org.za
2. www.plumbingafrica.co.za

Thanks in anticipation,

If you look at the addresses of your pages, they have %20 in them. This means you have spaces in your file names and they should be changed to underscores "_".

Thanks for your responses - I found about the spaces the hard way! IE is no problem but Netscape does sometimes react negatively giving misleading messages! NN particularly poor when handling applets in pages with non-ascii characters in the names - dare I mention hover buttons as a prime example?

I am wondering - if I change the names, what will happen to the search engines that I have registered the sites with?

Regards

Tony Randell

The first one looks great, one question.

Why do you have the first page as a entry page, I'd drop that and just get them into the site without the extra click.

The idea of the first page is to mirror their brochure front page. Guess you prove your point - if you dont know about the brochure, then it is a bit of a pain. I will discuss it with them and maybe we will remove the hurdle.

Thanks

I like your work! I don't mind enter pages. Also don't forget that dhtml (flying text) won't work in netscape.

Yes, I knew that DHTML didn't work in NN but it is only a special effect that doesn't matter if you dont see it.

I have noticed that NN users who visit are a tiny 1 - 2 % of my overall site visitors so far.

Actually, I am beginning to wonder if NN is worth all the effort? I am trying out some new applets to add function (e.g. ticker tape & Banner Ads)and am finding that NN is a bit of a nightmare - some work & some dont!! IE always seems to work.

Cheers

Tony Randell
