hi, new here, need some help

Hi Everyone, hoping alls' well and u could offer some help...

I seem to be having some browser compatibilty issues for my explorer optimized site: www.mult1med1a.com

Specifically:,on page:

http://www.mult1med1a.com/montreal_web_design.html the vertical dhtml scroller doesnt work in safari, netscape or firefox :S

nor does the scroller work properly on: http://www.mult1med1a.com/montreal_logo_design.html

If anyone can offer some help/ insight into this it would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

N.

Re: hi, new here, need some help

I know it's not what you asked, but on looking at the site and the code behind it, I was shocked that these pages had been coded by someone offering their services as a web site designer.

Your pages don't have a DOCTYPE.

Your Javascript and css is all on the same page with a mix of onpage and inline.

Gross misuse and over use of tables and spacer gifs.

Site completely invisible to anyone not using a normal gui browser.

The list goes on.

Oh, and why would anyone who knows anything about web site design start by optimising their site for IE.

If you are serious about offering web site design services, then you need to read up on standards compliant coding techniques and accessibility issues, go back to the drawing board and start again.

^^ What Rob said. Take all criticism with a tongue and cheek attitude (and not personally), and believe me your skills will increase exponentially.

I seriously suggest some kind of phycological doctor lol.

Anyway just sort out the coding a bit and try and code for either Firefox or Opera and never for IE as it is behind in the web standards.
