Hi everyone I would like for you to critique this site, well two pages, firstly the index here:

Myspace Comments - Hi5 Comments - Bebo Comments

and the main page template which will be used over and over here:

Thank You Comments

I will be adding some form of icon next to the category heading on the page template to spruce it up. Also some of the divs need aligning slightly for the front gallery.

Hope to hear your thoughts and some mild critique :D

Thanks everyone

Now I see why DW can be seen as a nuisance, it keeps doing that somehow, sticking <a href="#"></a> in where I have pasted code.

Glad you think it is fine!

DW is not a nuisance in code view mate, it will add nothing if you code by hand

there is nothing wrong with dreamweaver despite some people views, the only issues you get is when you try to use the wysiwyg, it will try to add its own crap in there.

I certainly dont use it in design view. I use that purely for checking it here and there, I never add anything in that view as of course it isnt trustworthy.

I was having problems with copying and pasting with it so I am guessing it because of that

Any more feedback guys? :)

the clouds at the top vanish into the blue header on the side, looks like they should travel the full width of the page along the blue bar. could set header to have a background of images/bitsy_02.gif and then remove the background from the headerwrap. Then set a background on the body tag with just the pink bar repeated.

or set the header to have a 100% width.

search our site box should auto clear onfocus, you have some code there but its not working for me in firefox or chrome, try this:

Code:

onblur="if(this.value==''){this.value='Search the Site'}" onfocus="if(this.value=='Search the Site'){this.value=''}" onclick="this.value=''

Thanks Tom for your feedback, I will get onto those asap and see what it is like, I wanted the clouds to go all the way but wasnt sure exactly how at the time :)

That damn search box will clear now at last! Thanks!

Would it be possible to add 2 background images for the body as there is already one repeated vertically?

Tom · 31st December 2009, 08:09 AM

I didn't notice you already had a background image, so you wouldnt be able to do my suggestion.

I think if you juggle your header tag inside the clouds tag to encase the logo, toppanel divs it should work.
