Website mock-up C&C

One thing I would add is that you should definitely have the "As seen in and heard on" segment on your front page - I'd say it adds a great deal of authority to your company. (Or at least a sense of authority

)

Hmm, I'm using Chrome too and it does that but I assumed it was using a previous local cache or something. If you force refresh (Ctrl+F5) then it'll look correct, and if you refresh with just F5 then it'll do that ^^. Does anyone know why? :confused:

Edit: Fixed. Just changed the way the navigation is positioned.

F5 means the browser will re-render the page using whatever it can from it's local file cache. So any images, css or javascript that's been downloaded by the machine will be used again. CTRL+F5 forces the browser to refresh and grab new copies of every file.

F5 = quick
CTRL+F5 = thorough

Site looks great.

If i was a client, i would be very impressed and def. consider you!

Thanks for the comments guys. Much appreciated

.

Removed the Vimeo player and replaced with a Nivo slider that then links to a YouTube Colorbox popup. Works a bit better, means we can have a wider image and also of course means we can have other information cycling round rather than just the showreel.

the slider isn't showing right for me in firefox. the first image can always been seen to the elft

Russinating · 10 Feb 2011 at 12:44

Hmm, thanks. I didn't get that in my FF, but had one pixel to the right showing, but I get what you do in IE. Should be fixed now (just reduced the width of the background image that's just there in case Nivo fails to load).

unwashed potato! · 10 Feb 2011 at 13:40

still there. it's about 40px too far to the right

Russinating · 10 Feb 2011 at 14:49

Would you mind screenshotting it for me? I don't get anything like that in my FF (3.6).

IE8 in compatability mode here at work and the layout seems a bit funky, the contact form is pushed behind the slider and some of the heading text seems to be pushed down as well. Running at 1280 x 1024.

Screenshotted:

Urgh, I hate cross compatibility. Thanks.

What does compatibility mode actually do? ie How do I target it specifically/work out why it's screwing everything up?

Ditto! If only everything was standards compliant.. I'm looking at you earlier versions of Internet Explorer!

it's similar to what poolybit has shown with the position of the slider being to the right. the rest looks as it should from what i can see.

Should be fixed now Pooly (and Mammalian). Just having trouble with the z-index's now with the logo, slider and slider background div.

The logo has a z-index of 9999 and on every other browser this is fine and displays the logo overlapping the slider. In IE8-compat the logo displays below. If I change the slider to a z-index of -1 then it displays this behind the slider background, even if I set the slider background to -9999. Anyone have any ideas?

unwashed potato! · 10 Feb 2011 at 15:57

perhaps not the best way to fix it but you could cut the bottom part of the logo that overlaps the slider and put that on both images instead.

How come you're not using a separate stylesheet for IE?

I do if there's a need, but at the moment there isn't, unless you can see/suggest one?

slylittlefox · 10 Feb 2011 at 17:00

I just meant because if the sites working fine in Chrome/Firefox and validates, I would start a separate IE stylesheet off to fix the issues with IE.

Russinating · 10 Feb 2011 at 17:20

I normally do that as a last resort. There's usually something that can be done so that all browsers work correctly from one stylesheet, a la the last problem (I just changed how the slider was being centered). If there genuinely is a special need for something that IE requires that in turn screws up the rendering in other browsers then of course I'll create a separate sheet, I just don't like doing it
