I have Dixiesys as my webhost.

may i suggest loading those images when the webpage loads for the firstime? cant remember the exact tags, but i've used it before... this way, there's not even the slightest lag time for onmouseovers

I've used three different way to preload the images, but they all had the same lag effect. Could the image size of 5KB be the reason? ( I dont think so)

Here, I will give you the Macromedia Dreamweaver script which will work:

----------------------------------------------
Put this in the <head> section:

<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
function MM_swapImgRestore() { //v3.0
var i,x,a=document.MM_sr; for(i=0;a&&i<a.length&&(x=a)&&x.oSrc;i++) x.src=x.oSrc;
}

function MM_preloadImages() { //v3.0
var d=document; if(d.images){ if(!d.MM_p) d.MM_p=new Array();
var i,j=d.MM_p.length,a=MM_preloadImages.arguments; for(i=0; i<a.length; i++)
if (a.indexOf("#")!=0){ d.MM_p[j]=new Image; d.MM_p[j++].src=a;}}
}

function MM_findObj(n, d) { //v4.0
var p,i,x; if(!d) d=document; if((p=n.indexOf("?"))>0&&parent.frames.length) {
d=parent.frames[n.substring(p+1)].document; n=n.substring(0,p);}
if(!(x=d[n])&&d.all) x=d.all[n]; for (i=0;!x&&i<d.forms.length;i++) x=d.forms[n];
for(i=0;!x&&d.layers&&i<d.layers.length;i++) x=MM_findObj(n,d.layers.document);
if(!x && document.getElementById) x=document.getElementById(n); return x;
}

function MM_swapImage() { //v3.0
var i,j=0,x,a=MM_swapImage.arguments; document.MM_sr=new Array; for(i=0;i<(a.length-2);i+=3)
if ((x=MM_findObj(a))!=null){document.MM_sr[j++]=x; if(!x.oSrc) x.oSrc=x.src; x.src=a[i+2];}
}
//-->
</script>

----------------------------------------------
Add the following to your <body> tag, replacing the fil:
<BODY BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF" TEXT="#000000" ONLOAD="MM_preloadImages('off.gif')">

----------------------------------------------
And here is an example of what a link should look like:

<A HREF="#" ONMOUSEOUT="MM_swapImgRestore()" ONMOUSEOVER="MM_swapImage('Image1','on.gif','off.gif',1)"><IMG NAME="Image1" BORDER="0" SRC="on.gif" WIDTH="153" HEIGHT="18"></A>

Why is there that little text above the site name in your logo image? I can see it, but I can't read it.

Overall thought, it's a nice layout. Much better than your old site. :)

I think it is looking really good. I have to echo someones comments about the links. I didn't realize they were links at first. Underline, bold, different color, put a » after it, just something. Also, about the nav images, they shouldn't be that big - I pulled one down and saved it out using Photoshop, and it was 1k.

I know it has been a while, but I finally got the rollovers to work! All I did was change hosts from Dixiesys to AddAction.

Time to put some content in!
