[AccessD] Rocky's Version 4.x

Hi Karen:

Number 5 is a good point... you should never navigate away from your
business site. Rule 15. ;-)

You should add a counter and analysis to your site. It might wreck your W3C
check but it is well worth to be able to monitor traffic. (Price is right)

Bob,
Thanks for your help and kind words.

1. I'm not seeing this. The HTML/CSS are the same and there is no JavaScript
with this menu.

2. I put the bottom menu only on the long pages because it didn't seem
necessary on the short pages. What say you all?

3. Wow! I don't know what you are seeing here. The contents are fixed width
and even at less than a 800x600 view I don't see this.

4. Good catch! I fixed it.

5. I am rethinking this. I got into the habit of not using it with XHTML
because it is deprecated in XHTML 1.0 Strict and XHTML 1.1. But this is
XHTML 1.0 Transitional, so it could work.

6. I'm not seeing this either. Again, it's the same HTML/CSS and no
JavaScript on all the pages. 

Rocky and I have talked about the email links but he said he isn't getting
spam. The spam filter is on with his ISP and it seems to be effective, so
far.

Regards,
 
Karen Rosenstiel

Rocky

Looks better every time I check.

Still a couple of issues you might want to consider ...

1) Tabs .home, .about, .projects and .contacts all have about 1/4" space
above the banner, but .products and .gallery have about 1/2" space. When you
just click on the tabs, the pages "bounce" up and down.

2) The text link bar near the bottom of the .projects and .products pages is
nice; one can continue navigating without have to scroll back to the top.
Why isn't this on every page? Or at least a "Top of Page" link?

3) On the .contacts page, the fax number is below the box and in the black -
you can't even tell it's there unless you highlight the whole page.

4) On the .products page, I thought that the name of your flagship program
was "E-Z-MRP", not "E-ZMRP" (hyphen needed). Typo?

5) On the .projects and .products pages, the links are still opening in the
same browser window. If you don't set these to open in a new tab/window (<a
... Target="_blank">) and someone navigates away from your site, there is no
easy way to get back - you may have just lost a customer.

6) There is still an inconsistent feel on the pages. For example, the
.about, .projects, .products and .gallery all have your copyright info and
Karen's "designed by" nicely across the bottom, but on the .home and
.contacts pages, that information is crowded into the lower left-hand
corner.

Regardless, with or without any of these changes, it's still a nice site -
good job Karen!

Best regards,
Bob Gajewski

PS - Of course, I'll harp forever on the use of the JavaScript function for
sending email, to avoid spam bots. In case you misplaced it ...

In your .js file:

function sendMail(n2,d2,e2,s2,b2){
	if(s2 == '') s2 = ' ';
	var r2 = 'mailto:' + n2 + '@' + d2 + '.' + e2 + '?subject=' + s2 +
'&body=' + b2;
	document.location.href = r2;
	}

In your html:
	<a
href="javascript:sendMail('info','bchacc','com','Request%20for%20information
',' ');">Information</a>
