October 1, 201214 yr Why can you see the slice lines in IE? Firefox is fine. I use Dreamweaver and PS CS6 Thanks, www.salterratemp.com
October 1, 201214 yr Not entirely sure because I don't have internet explorer available on my mac currently but you could try: border-collapse:collapse; on your table. P.S Using tables for web design is old fashioned and bad practice. Edited October 1, 201214 yr by heydanreeves
October 1, 201214 yr Author I dont use tables, but the client wanted the float look and the buttons between the solar cells. Didnt know any other way to do it.
October 2, 201214 yr "I dont use tables" oh yes you did and using all images on the homepage isn't going tyo help your indexing by search engines set the main image (and optimise it! 500kb is too weighty) as a background and put some div(s) with some top margin to hold the content i get a substantial horizontal scrollbar at 1280 x 1080 while i'm at it ... text is too small left-aligned text is always preferable on the net
October 2, 201214 yr Scrap the table and then we'll talk. Your main issue is you're using code that was never intended for what you're using it for.
October 2, 201214 yr Author Ok, All I was trying to do was to take the clients background from there site and make it a so-called title page. The only way I have done it in the past was to slice up the PSD and link to the slices. Trust me, If I knew a better way I would do it. I am not happy at all with it. I am going to try and figure it out with out PSD. If you have any ideas or clue, Please let me know.the site they referred me to is www.solitsolutions.com for the example of what they want. Thank you all!
October 2, 201214 yr Please tell me you are not using dreamweaver design view or have dreamweaver build the page based off your slices.
October 2, 201214 yr I recommend using css3 rounded borders instead of images for the buttons, plus you can get some nice hover affects. You'll have trouble replicating the font because not all users will have that font installed, but I would still change to css to lessen your http requests.
October 2, 201214 yr <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p class="titletext"> </p> <p>...</p> <p>...</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> Okay, I know this thread is about an issue with images (and I don't have access to IE at the moment), but... Please please please please do not ever do this... ever. EVER. In css, there's the "margin" property. You could easily add "margin-top: 200px" to one of those tags to get the effect you want. (Replace 200 with the proper value). Edited October 2, 201214 yr by Pete Prosper
October 2, 201214 yr Okay, that's a bit better except now you're positioning the menu using a dozen empty <p> tags. Furthermore your menu is just made up of images with no alt attributes. Must be nice for people using screen readers!
October 2, 201214 yr Author Jeez, I am not done yet, harsh forum! I have a mtg with the client today to see if I am even on the right track. Edited October 2, 201214 yr by Salterra Design
October 2, 201214 yr Jeez, I am not done yet, harsh forum! Sometimes your best friends are those that are harsh. Unlike others who will just smile and nod, you can rely on them to tell you when something isn't right. Edited October 2, 201214 yr by Pete Prosper

October 2, 201214 yr I understand that you are still set to have a meeting with your client about the direction to take, but please do keep in mind that your code is very important. I just took a glance and wanted to point out a few things: 1) No need to nest so many divs 2) utilize css positioning/margins/padding to acquire proper element placement 3) don't use javascript for mouseover styling, instead use css (a:hover/img:hover/a:hover > img) 4) consort with your client to benefits AND negatives to using html5

I am trying to stear them completely away form the landing page feel and into a more traditional approach like the site they were referred to me by. www.theodentistry.comthanks for the help, not used to this syle of site
October 16, 201214 yr I think what everyone is trying to tell you is that your whole approach to building sites is wrong.. You're never going to build reliable stable, modern solutions using the methodologies and techniques you're using... In all honesty go back to the drawing board, do some reading and re-think the solution... Read up properly on HTML5, CSS3 and good coding pracitices.. Wish you the best of luck. P.S If you're using IE and they're png files then older versions are notorious for rendering them really poorly.....
