DreamingWell: Part 2

Howdy

Oky doky, here we go again. A few modifications later. http://future.dreamingwell.com

Since last posted here I've done the following:

1) Added a loading bar, people were complaining it took too long to load, loading bar gives them somthing to watch (makes it seem like it takes less time... and it works!).

2) Made the windows in the background fade. Gives higher contrast to the windows in the foreground .

3) Optimized a bunch of code (loading ane executions)...


If you would, please post here what errors/problems you had with the page, along with the Version of your INTERNET EXPLORER browser (netscape etc compatibility is on its way). The version of your browser does not stop at 5.... Hit, help -> about and it will tell you the FULL version (mine is 5.50.4522..).

thanks in advance

Very nice, proffessional. Finally someone with a nice page who didn't ise flash. good job.

I got a page could not be found error.

deker you always get "Page Not Found" errors......I think it's time to get a better connection.

I had the same problems as last time. I left the transparency down this time, and it still would not let me close the windows.

Also, I tried to show in the picture that I was trying to click on the "Customize" link, but the window would not close or come to the front.

I really do like the design, it just doesn't work for me.

Using IE 6.00.2462.0000

Ah, now it works.

That works a whole lot better. The fading helps a lot when multiple windows pop up. It also loaded a lot faster this time and was more consistent. Like Mattboy said, when you reduce the opacity it's still hard to read with the windows stacked up, and still not apparent how to minimize the windows. But other than that, it's pretty cool.

What do you mean I can never see any pages, Mattboy? This is like the first page that didn't work for me. I live like 2000 feet from the DSL hub... what better connection should I have? I don't have the money for a T1 line at the moment.

I see! thank-you for the picture! so basically none of the windows will 'hide'? You are correct in saying that click customize should show/hide the window... should work... I'll get IE 6 tonight and start working on it... thank-you!

glad ya'll like the page... It will be going up in a little while... http://www.dreamingwell.com. Later!

I like it uh'lot, very clean and different with a lot of cool interactive stuff to it. What was it coded in?

I didn't notice any problems i don't think...

nice job again and thanks for the info.

Sorry deker, I thought that was you that is always having "Page Not Found" and the little red "X" errors.

One of the more active people on here is on 56k, and is always getting those errors.....and now I can't remember who that is.
