Some website feedback

Few things

a) This may be an ie only thing, but whenever you roll the mouse over the logo that spans the top of the screen e.g. going from the site to any of the manus at the top, it flashes white and redownloads. It’s no biggie, but it get annoying after a while.

b) A home button in the list on the left would be nice.

If you click anywhere on the top “Slothmud III” image, it links to the home page… i suspect this is probably why there is no “home” link on the left-side list.

What version of ie? I use 6.0.29 and don’t see what you describe.

I have 6.0.28000….

I get it to. When you mouseover the panorama.jpg it flashes white for a second. It doesn’t do it just once either, it happens every time the mouse is over it.

I’m also using my work machine, which is Windows 2000, but the resources are good enough that it shouldn’t be speed, memory or connection related.

I scanned the source and from my meager understanding, didn’t see anything that might account for it. The header on the old site never gave me this type of affect though.

Of interesting note, if you move the cursor off the banner while it’s flashing, the message that appears in the status bar at the bottom says:

Downloading picture <LINK_TEXT text=“http://www.slothmud.org/themes/Andergas … norama.jpg”>http://www.slothmud.org/themes/Andergast/images/panorama.jpg</LINK_TEXT>

Again, not sure why a mouseover would cause a complete refresh of that window… but that appears to be exactly what it does.

I’m not seeing the flashing image, though when I mouse over the image, I do get a series of hyphens that go across the center of the image. One shows up under the dragon’s tail, the others are across horizontally from that one. They’re not a big deal, I just thought I’d point it out.

Yeah, at home and using IE 6.0.29, I got the same thing as blackmore. Probably wouldn’t have noticed if Blackmore hadn’t mentioned it :)

6.0.29 with sp2 running on Windows XP sp2 here on a Dell notebook, and it is very noticeable on this machine.

Also notice if I try log in at teh forum it fails still, have to log in from the bottom left.

ditto here.. looking at coding.. using a mix of css and tables might be the issue.. IE is a friggin pain at times with css..

[code:svjhofla]

<div id=“header” onclick=“location.href=‘http://www.slothmud.org’“title=“SlothMUD’s Home”;>

<STYLE>

.panorama{ cursor:pointer; }

</STYLE>

					<tr>

….etc

Just use a normal html href tag for the link should solve it …also didn’t see a closing tag for that td colspan, but was only a quick look..

margin: 0px auto;

height: 140px;

background: url("http://path_to/panarama.gif");
