nice site

**travelagent** · 01-05-2007, 12:00 PM

Very nice site; shows you put in alot of effort and thinking; color scheme is nice on the eyes too!

Your site is missing a <!DOCTYPE Declaration> which is mandatory for most current markup languages, and without one, it's impossible to reliably validate a document. The DOCTYPE defines the version of the document like -- HTML 4.0.1, XHTML 1.0, 1.1, ...etc.

You have 104 code warnings, you may wish to fix, so that your site validates for accessibility in all browsers, as shown here ...

I really really like it, great layout & professional looking.

Well done

**Hoosier_Buddy** · 01-05-2007, 08:40 PM

I'll see what I can do about those code warnings.

If ya need help, send me a PM.

**Hoosier_Buddy** · 01-06-2007, 02:00 AM

Do you think I should change anything to it?

**Mystic Rose** · 01-06-2007, 06:36 AM

The only thing I can see is that you can't see all of the area that says quick search, the words get cut off. Other than that nup I say leave it.

Uh which quick search is cut off, the one on the home page? That could be the browser that your viewing it in, I have a couple minor problems in FF, and that might be one of them.

**travelagent** · 01-06-2007, 10:08 AM

The entire site is centered, and nothing's cut off that I can see.

**Hoosier_Buddy** · 01-06-2007, 12:31 PM

I don't know what is cutoff, I checked in in 3 different browsers and I couldn't find anything??????

**Mystic Rose** · 01-06-2007, 06:00 PM

I'm using IE & it's the quick search located under the 2 buttons search & clear & above the people & phone number.

**travelagent** · 01-06-2007, 06:53 PM

MicroSTOOPID Internet Exploder doesn't display millions of sites properly -- but, had you looked at his source code, you might have been able to provide the solution like this ... currently, the code shows this:

<td height="285" background="images/home/find parts.jpg"><div align="center" class="part_search">
<div><img src="images/home/transparent_box.gif" width="50" height="50"></div>

All he has to is place a "<br />" at the end of that code -- problem solved!

**Hoosier_Buddy** · 01-06-2007, 07:28 PM

Ok done. nothing changed, but now maybe it will fix what she sees.
thx everyone.

**travelagent** · 01-06-2007, 07:32 PM

Good show -- it fixed it in FF; Netscape; and Opera ... I refuse to look at anything in MicroSTOOPID Internet Exploder -- especially version 7!

**Mystic Rose** · 01-07-2007, 12:11 AM

Glad you got it sorted out looking fantastic now

**Hoosier_Buddy** · 01-07-2007, 12:21 AM
