Please give some thoughts and or critiques about this design

Hi,

The design concept is based on a table structure (header, main and footer) basically mennaged by style sheets and where the components are included with php includes.

Goal is to get similar effects and when resizing the browser as when using framesets.

I would be interested in thoughts or critiques from you regarding the use of tables in this cocept. Not that I do not like it but is there may be an other way to get the same results?

In case you are against using frames or even tables please give some input regarding your pre's and pro's

Thanks in advance

whoops and the url is:

It looks like it only resizes down to about 815px or so wide. What' the point of the big gray box all the way to the right that's just taking up space?

You have a bunch of empty table cells that are just assigned a class. Why is that? Are you just assigning a background image to the cell? Your header image is only 400px wide yet the site won't resize down to that width.

Colors look odd together, too, but maybe that's just me.

Ah... hang on. I looked at it in IE and that's probably what you're expecting it to look like. You need to test your code in other browsers. Here's what it looks like in Mozilla.

Thanks John,

I apprediate your comments very much.





Yes, you'r right, I do mot any browser sniffer at this point and created it for IE only.
To be hounest, I have not yet a good concept ready to make it cross browser accessable. Any ideas are very welcome.


Most of them are reserved as become navigation bars.


Yes, I thought it is not usefull to sizs it further down anywhay, it would screwed up everything.



John, can you say it more precise? Do you mean with odd awfull, horrible or just strange ? Because I have used standard colors used by this company inhouse, it belongs a little to their identity.

Mozilla Snapshot:

Thanks for showing me that snapshot.

I think I have solved that problem with the footer.
Everything in there should now aligned left.

The middle area however I am nor sure how to solve this.
As you can see in IE it should be placed in the center and vertical middle.

For that area I am using this style:

.ContentPlace { /* Middle OutFrame */
height: 70%;
text-align: center;
}

The second and last problem I see with Mozilla is the vertical height; The footer should be placed always at the bottom like it dows in IE.

Any ideas?
