Hey guys,
I just created this site for a company in LA:
www.mpactaccess.com
I had a question regarding load time. I know I should have used CSS but I stuck with the table frames (too late to change, heh). I don't like the load time on the graphics, you can see it progressively build up as the page loads. My question is, is there a way to tell the page to display when everything has loaded, is there a feature in dreamweaver or a type of code?

It loads fine. I don't really like how the site gets cut off on the right but besides that I like your color pallet and layout.

loads fine for me as well. I'll agree with benjo about the right side of the site. Might I also suggest the ability to enlarge your product thumb nails. Alot of them have a lot of nice detail in them, and it would nice to be able to see more of it. Possibly open in a new window? my $.02

hey guys,
thanks, and I intentionally cut the sides off, I didn't want the site to be to symetric.

I'd still try and close it off somehow. Your thumbnails look like their going to fall out of their box. If you want to keep it asymentical, how about extending the left side all the way to the edge of the page and put a border the size of the right side(now) on it. Keeping your thumb nail box where it is. Just throwin an idea at 'cha
Oh and color me stupid, you can click on the images. I'd still like to see a bigger version of the product though.

Hello Eveyone! This is my first post and Im excited. For me the site loads fine too. Congra, but about the cut off thing (Again?!) Maybe you can create a more delicate asymetry, following the jewelry's flawless, I guess.

Yea, i'll keep these in mind on my next design, as of now, its kinda too late. HEH
hi ..
it loads well, colors are great, but again it looks like the edge is cut off, another thing, you know that little box that appears on an image that gives you options to save, print ...etc.. get rid of it.. try to give it a name.. it'll help...
best of luck

The site isn't sitting well in Firefox here, either.

I used to be able to see it with firefox, but now: no dice.

It's not displaying in Firefox because of code errors:
1) Marginleft, marginright, margintop isn't code. You *should* declare these in CSS, however it looks like you are trying to use the old HTML 4.0 hack of leftmargin="0" topmargin="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0". While this will work when done correctly it isn't valid....it's an old hack.
2) There is stuff after the closing html tag that should not be there.
3) Javascript normally goes between the <head></head>

It looks like the script is supposed to be re-directing to http://www.mpactaccess.com/Charles/index.html ????
Why?

Well i dont like the right side of your design it's cut. Is it by mistake or its a design. And the thumbnail should be still better that is when i take the cusor there is no roll over but when you click it there is a popup. Try to get that mouse over effect. The photographs are not prof enof looks like a amature photographer.
The links About Mpact, Privacy Policy, Contact are not working this is a bad sign man.
The site colour combinations is all good (i like it).

site is still in the works, I need to debugg this fox fire issue though, its killing me...any more ideas on how to troubleshoot this browser problem.

Validate your code. Oh and it's FireFox not fox fire. =)

There really is no troubleshooting...valid code and all is gold.
It's IE that will display anything even with code errors. It's IE that doesn't have full support of standards.
BTW....that script may very well be browser specific...meaning it works only in one browser.

I finally could open it after the second link in Safari.
I like the site, but the right side bugs me. It needs to have a complete border. It loses it feel with the right side cut off.
Look at "tiffany's" web-site. It's a template for you. Classy and elegant.

Thanks for the advice guys....I really appreciate it. I will validate the code and let you guys know how it turns out.
