hmmmm I fancy a take-away...

I'll 'take-away' your comments if you'll review...

http://server6.web-mania.com/users/...ranch/index.php

only the homepage and indian menu should be taken as finished, and submitting your email doesn't work yet.

Thanks,

John.

Looks nice

Maybe the Taj Mahal should be a bit more transparent? Otherwise - looks good!

You have some html errors on the 'Indian' page that cascade through the page.

If I'm looking at the menu, how do I place an order? I didn't see a prominent contact method. Make it easy for the visitor to buy. Phone, email, form.

Background image interferes with text readability. Increase its transparency? You'll have to experiment.

BG image tiles in large windows—not a pretty sight.

A good site. Fix some minor things and your client should make some money off the site, and that's as good as it gets.

Thanks Red, I'll experiment some more with the taj mahal.

Gary, I know the indian doesn't quite validate yet. It's mostly 'cause I've got some tags in the wrong order, it's complicated when i'm echoing so many rows and columns with styles from PHP

I'll fix that in the next release.

I was working on people not viewing it at other than 8*6 or 1024*768, I guess the small few that will view at higher res will just have to put up with it. Unless you can tell me of some way to center a BG pic on the page so it's res independant??

The contact number is there in the top left hand graphic and the guy didn't want any on-line ordering at all. (just as well 'cause I don't have a clue )

Thanks for the feedback.

OK, now it validates, even the CSS!

But it doesn't look right in Firefox on the Indian Menu page and I can't figure out why, can u guys help me at all?

John.

IE improperly expands a container when overflow:visible (implicit). Moz/Firefox treats this correctly. Resize your .imageholder.

For your background,Didn't recognize the 611519 as a phone number; sorry.

Hey Gary, you're awesome

thx tons for that code, I'd looked at it til my eyes crossed and couldn't see that....



EDIT:

hmm, that's definately better, but now I'm puzzled as to why the menu (the actual table of text) is clearing the top left image... (in firefox)

I've not looked closely yet because it doesn't look to bad anyway

This is another example of IE rendering incorrectly and a correct rendering seemingly biting you on the butt. IE is very flakey where floats are involved. If it's important that IE not break a layout, I tend to use floats very simply—avoiding multiple/complex floats if at all possible. While fooling with this, I found it easy to fix for Moz, but IE was being persnickety. So I said 'to hell with it,' and redid the stylesheet to attack the layout from a different direction. I also emended the html to reflect my vision of good structure and semantics. In other words, I got carried away. If you're interested, you can see my version of Indian Ranch Menu.

Hey, thanks a lot Gary, that's very interesting.....amazing what you can learn from just looking at the code. Incidentally it suffers from the same problem that mine does here at work on IE5.5. It's not centered it's up against the left hand side. I suppose that's just a problem of IE.

John.

Hmmm. I can see no appreciable difference between Moz and IE6. I don't know what IE5.5 is doing.

cheers,

gary

I found out why it didn't center in IE5.5, it's a bug and there s a work-around on bluerobot.com that works a treat
