'Test' My Webpage?

I made some changes to my webpage this past week, and am wondering if some helpful souls around here can give me a hand to see if there's any bugs. Visually it doesn't look any different, but I added some javascript to make a separate window pop up with the larger images of my corns instead of having to go to the picture and then back again. Please click on several pics to see if the pop up window comes to the front for you etc.

I have only set up the script to work with the males. If it works at an acceptable level, I will continue to copy and past the code for the rest of my collection page as well as my other pages.

Any helpful suggestions with this would be great if there are problems. I think/hope I have the kinks worked out, but I know there's different web browsers set up differently that may have problems. You can either post your 'critique' here, or PM me.

I made my changes to most of the images on my page, so the test page is no longer available, but you can still test it out for me at the regular page. I have changed the link to represent that! Thanks!

You have some awesome snakes in your collection Drizz! :licklips: There were no thumbnails on the page, but clicking on the morph did bring up a larger picture of the males. The females, though, all brought up the same picture of a normal. Are you still working on the java for those? Other than that, everything looks great! Thanks for the points BTW, I can be tactful once in a while, but with some folks it takes some effort. ;)
 
Just curious about what software you guys are using to develop your websites?

Click to expand...
I've just been using notepad for mine. I'm gonna have to break down and buy a software program, though. I think it would be a lot easier!
 
Nice looking. All the thumbnails show up fine but like Terri said, when I try to pull up the pic of a female full size picture, I get the 02-002 male picture.

Gary, I use Frontpage. Cost a little but was well worth it to me.
 
I actually got it thru the University for $15, I just haven't used it yet. :rolleyes:
 
JT if you're on dialup, the thumbnails take a bit to load up, so I'm not sure why you weren't see thing them. (Thanks for the compliments on my collection.)

For the rest of you . . . I indicated in my first post that I had only set up the java for the males :) . . . I copy and pasted for everybody, and now have to go in and change the file names for the pics/links by hand. Thanks for the help, I really appreciate it as I want to make sure that they work properly!

CAV, I use Composer which is an html editor that comes bundled in with Netscape. I use netscape as my browser as I just can't stand MSIE. It's a bit limited in it's functions, but not as difficult as just typing everything out by hand with notepad! It allows several different views of the page either in html, as published, or as you build the page.

Thanks again for the help, since it seems to be working, I get to have fun copying and pasting tonight!!

You're absolutely right Drizz, I'm on dialup and have no patience :eek: I tried it again, and waited, and the thumbnails came up. Good job!
 
LOL....sorry Dritzz, I too missed the "only male links done" part. It worked fine for me and I am on dialup. The pictures started to load right away, not all at once but they certainly didn't take long to each pop up. And pushing the link to see the larger picture also did not take long.

Good luck and nice job.
 
Perhaps it's personla taste, but I don't see the advantage of using JavaScript. There are still many people out there that disable JavaScript and will not be able to open your large pictures.
As far as I see, you just want them to open in a new Window - simply add target="_blank" to your link.
So when your link is

[a href="./images/anery_large.jpg"][img src="./images/anery.jpg][/a]

Change it to

[a href="./images/anery_large.jpg" target="_blank"][img src="./images/anery.jpg][/a]

(sorry, I had to take [ instead of <> because the board seems to dislike html tags :) )
This should solve your problem and your website is still fine for every browser out there. I would highly recommend this :) You can see it here http://www.elaphe.info/content/arten/guttatus.htm for example.
The only difference is, that the new window doesn't pop up in the size of the picture in every browser. Some do it, some don't. Also depends on personal taste, but I would take the "not sized" window instead of being incompatible with some browser/preferences.

@CAV although Frontpage is quite ok, I would recommend you DreamWeaver. It has a nicer GUI for graphical and code view and it generates much nicer code to change manually. I sometimes use it to click the graphic framework together and then use the code to add the content and so on manually.
