HI,

I have just created this site for a pub/restaurant near Yarm in the North East of England.

http://www.thefoxcovert.com

I've incorporated the Simple Viewer Flash gallery and created the virtual tour myself. I also embedded the map with google API.

The website passes accessability guidlines and is created using custom css templates.

any feed back appreciated.

Thanks
Ben

Hi, I think is fine and like colour scheme I would sugest an intro/splash page maybe you can use index.html for it. Some server look for the .html extension first.

Hi 360fusion,

i like this page very much. The virtual tour is just
great. The site "jumps" on firefox. As you know
you can just add a "height: 101%;" to the body
tag in the frontend.css

Congratulations

Lars

Congratulations. Very nice website. It very well presents the typical british atmosphere (although I've never been in the UK).

But some critics. Perhaps you could style the images with css instead of current border, saves time maybe. The google map could use a border too, it's a bit sparing now. The background is empty white now, it could use some darker gradient or something. Maybe have a look at cssbeauty.com and see how they do that. The content margins are to small, maybe have larger margin between content and border.

But all together, good job!

Hi,

Thanks for your comments. I have made a few changes to the site. I fixed the scroll bar issue with firefox but for some reason "height: 101%;" didn't work so i use this bit of code in the body tag "overflow: -moz-scrollbars-vertical;"

I darkend the backround a bit and made a change to the outter fade.

I also added more padding around the content. I have had problems with the images on the home page. i couldn't get them to display 10px either side with padding or margins so have left them with 10px left ad 5px right.

I also found out a bit more about css while making these changes so thanks again to you guys. And also a big thanks to OG for creating such a great system.

Always learning.

Ben

The Virtual tour looks very nice! Did you write that one yourself or is it a kind of program?

Hi,

I use ptgui to stitch the images together and then create the tour using easypano's tourweaver.

Hi DeXXus,

Thanks for checking my site but what did you use to find these errors?

I Use:

http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/
http://validator.w3.org/

But these pages pass validation with these links. (except Tourviewer_fox_covert.html) Am i missing something?

My Firefox error plugins (in addition to the inbuilt) are Firebug and Console2 (Console 'squared')

Maybe it is referring to this I dunno:

http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_iframe.asp

<iframe> attribute align is only valid on Transitional and Frameset DTD
Differences Between HTML and XHTML NONE

The errors above regarding invalid value "top" are sourced from pages that have Strict DTD or no !DOCTYPE...

for example (with Strict !DOCTYPE):

http://www.thefoxcovert.com/googlemap.htm
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

and, of course (with no !DOCTYPE):

http://www.thefoxcovert.com/gallery/
http://www.thefoxcovert.com/tour/Tourvi ... overt.html

JUST GUESSING as to why they came up!

Thanks DeXXus

I got rid of the align="top" as it didn't do anything anyway. I have added the firefox plugins and will use them in the future.
