Can someone do a really quick check of my website?

Just upgraded to Vista x64 and now my website thing doesn't seem to load right in IE.

http://www.sba.muohio.edu/asiaep/index.htm

Click on destinations or program information and a drop down menu should appear.

In Firefox everything looks ok. In IE the drop down menu is really screwed up.

Please report back on if it looks normal and what browser you're using and what OS.

Thanks!

Grrr.... Looking at the code, there should be no reason for this to not display properly. And I'm even forcing my IE to NOT load from the cache. Wonder what the heck is going on if everyone else's IE works and mine doesn't.

The text in the changing photo on the front page looks bad, some is pixelated and some has white boxes around it. Other than that looks ok

Works fine here in FF 2.0 too. Nice and simple layout. One note if you don't mind a bit of creative feedback, some of the images you are using in the sideshow are too heavily compressed and the text in each image uses a different font and style. Also they differ in size. If they were the same size, used a uniform font for the labels, and were less heavily compressed it would greatly improve the look of the front page. Just my 2 cents.

Mozilla picked up a minor error in the css file, this line:
#menu2 ul {
margin: 0, auto, 0, auto;

should have the commas removed. Don't think it makes a difference.


Working with javascript on pages of my own, I've found IE7 is pickier than IE6 & Mozilla about needing to declare variables before writing values to them. I don't know how much you know about javascript to make changes to test.

Yup. I would like you all to note that these images are definitely not mine. They are simply files that I'm reusing from the older website design. I'm working on doing a major overhaul of the website for a professor. Until recently he's been the webmaster for this thing and frankly, it looked absolutely horrible:

Old index.htm
http://www.sba.muohio.edu/asiaep/index2.htm

vs

New (my) index.htm
http://www.sba.muohio.edu/asiaep/index.htm

In the old, the code is an absolute frickin' mess. Use of CSS is all over the place and isn't standardized in any way. See the multicolored words like "Asia Travel/News" in the columns? Yeah. Don't know why he did that. Looking at the code it seems like he hand-coded each letter in html to be a different color.

Plus he didn't make any use of templates, so if he wanted to make a global change to every page, say changing the banner, he had to go to every single page and change the code by hand.

The man teaches SQL, but I have a feeling he's unfortunately been out of the loop a little bit too long. He doesn't even know that webpages can make use of databases now and stuff :(

Commas removed :)

I know absolutely nothing about javascript. All the scripts in the page (slideshow and drop down menus) were taken from other sites. I think it's ok for now though. Everyone should be using Firefox anyway :p

Except my professor :(
