I just change the layout of my home page and wanted some opinions or recommendations on the layout. I will add text descriptions to the pictures in the links later...
Click my name above and choose:
Visit zman1's homepage!
P.S. I've only checked it with IE...
Thanks,
Zman

Hey Zman,
I have to say I was very skeptical about that DIY rock..... Not any more!
That looks awesome!

I'm going to research this forum for the discussion on this subject.
BTW, nice site!

I was having issues with the Zman site links since my main page doesn't use frames, but when I would link to the slide view for the galleries I was using frames. However, when you would use the home button, it would start cascading in frame. I found a Java script that closes the frame. It works for IE and should for others, but you never can be sure -LOL
Glad to hear FireFox didn't have issues.
I have included pictures to illustrate what I am talking about
:

Example pick DIYRock

Choose the Home button

Click DIYRock and then Home. It kept cascading, this is why I never used the Photoshop Web Gallery options, until I found the close frame code. There may be an easier way to do it with HTML tags instead of JavaScript, but I don't know any since I stay in-site on links.
All
, thanks for the kind comments

Thanks for sharing zman.
I use firefox and the 3 eyed fish doesn't follow the cursor.
Your tank location is unique.

OK, I didnt realize earlier that the fish was supposed to follow the cursor. It doesnt do that in Firefox. Tried it in IE and it does, although I have to say that if I saw that on a page that I went to I would VERY quickly leave that page as it is rather annoying. Cool effect and all, but as a someone that works in computers professionally, that coolness wore off after about 10 seconds.

I agree, I will most likely drop that and the bubbles from the gallery pages. What is it with you IT guys and FireFox-LOL Our IT folks and some of the software developers that I know have to use FireFox (used to be Netscape before). They support a 14,000 Windows based Server/Workstation employee staff that have managed deployments of windows/IE PCs desktops and laptops along with the infrastructure. I guess it's the rebel in you folks -lol I had a Sony BetaMax back when we rebels knew it was the best mag. tape media... I understand the guys working on the Appahe servers and IDS may use it out of convenience but other than that I don't understand...
I loaded FireFox back on version 1.01 and the lack of available plug-ins pretty much made the choice for me.
Thanks for the comments

I find that Firefox just has some features that IE doesn't, and it doesnt crash on me the way that IE does. Tabbed browsing is a huge conveniene to me. Pretty sure that IE7 is going to have it, but for now I'll stick with FF.

You talk me in to loading it again - I loaded version 1.5.0.4. I do have to say, I like the Tab feature. Also, the IE Tab plug-in is nice. They do have more standard plug-ins avalable and a nice plug-in/extensions manager now. I wouldn't say FixFox is lock-up free when compared to others (it's locked up on me once so far). It does report back as Netscape, I expeced it to report as Mozilla, so much for me guessing -LOL
On a non-windows platform, I see it would be the defacto standard.
