Website photo

Thanks for all your input, now I've just got to figure out the best way for it to pic a photo at random (from half a dozen or so), and present a simple jpeg if Flash is disabled/not installed.

Oh, and the other little problem I've got at the moment, is that when you point at the small pic on the left hand side of that page (actually not on the version that's uploaded at the moment), you should get a box appear with some explanatory text in it, like I did with this website: www.MoreThanArt.co.uk

However, the problem is that these boxes do appear, but they're underneath the big picture, and I can't seem to tell them to go on top. Tried the z-index, the order the elements are in, tried everything I could think of at midnight last night.

But as I say, not on the version uploaded at the mo.

Thanks again,
Dan

Hi Everyone,

Hope you don't mind, but I'm back again with this one. Have been tinkering with it over the last couple of weeks and have got things ironed out as far as I can tell.

http://www.DanielBridge.co.uk/zoomify

So, if I had more than two 'zoomify' images on there at the moment it would choose between them all at random, but at the moment it's just the wasp or the hogweed, if you refresh/reload the page you should see a different main pic.

The bit at the side (quotes from previous workshop attendees) should be randomly selected too.

Hovering over the left hand small pics should bring up a descriptive box.

In short, it should look like this:




If you have scripts disabled (Chirpy ), you should see basically the same thing, but without the zoomify image, and without any of the random stuff, or the descriptive boxes. Like this:




There's also a Sitemap link bottom right. With scripts it will just show a different layer on the page, without scripts, it takes you to a different page.

This is fun, I like learning how to do stuff like this. Although I've torn a bit of hair out in the process.

If you've got a minute just to have a look and quick play, and tell me if anything doesn't work as described, I would be most grateful. None of the links, other than the sitemap one, will work though, so don't worry about those.

Thanks all,
Dan

Looks good Daniel! It all works really well in Opera again, so I am happy!
Refresh button brings up random photo and random quotes, just as you said.

Thanks Gwyn - if you're happy, I'm happy!

Looks great to me too, and as described. Except, the links don't work

Excellent Dan .
Why would you want to have your full address posted on it. :

I run a business - would you want to buy goods or services from someone without an address? Well, I guess many of us do when we use ebay, but other than that, I just wouldn't deal with a website that didn't have anything but an email contact.

It's because this is in a folder, and the links are relative, so the pages it's linking to aren't where it thinks they are. That will obviously be rectified when I go live with it.

Thanks for your input, I will get some other pics sorted for the zoomify image and get it all uploaded fairly soon.

Dan

P.S. I'm guessing no-one noticed the subliminal messages, though I guess that would depend on how many times you reloaded the page (Hint: They're in the captions... )
