Hi Mates,

what do you guys think abou this site:
www.Schaffhausen.de

Its German, but since it uses a lot graphics, everybody should be able to navigate through it.

a 4.x browser is required, and the main effect only works in Netscape at this time. I'll fix it, but if somebody has a quick idea why whats wrong, please post it here.

Thanx,

Malte

Nice!

1) The curves on the logo are jagged.

2) I use 800x600 res., and on the very right side there is an image that has no purpose?!?!?

3) Got an error on the page using IE5.

hehehe, that image. I had the same opinion, but the graphic designer told me, that its about the most important design element on the page

X Browser compatability is not there yet. Fortunately we know, that our boss uses Netscape. Its hard to do that kinda JS stuff if you have only a week for development, but basically its not really a problem.

I hate it that IE, at least the Macintosh version, does not tell you what exactly is wrong with the script which makes debugging really, really hard.

Later,
Malte

Hi Malte
I got the error too.
As well as design I think it looks GREAT!. I would work on the jaggy problem though. I'm not sure if the text with thee curved alignent "works" might try it without the curve to see how that looks. As far as the "most important element on the page" well..... I just don't know, if Justin thinks it looks like a mistake or something unfinished chances are that many other people will -- since it's just an arc and not even a half of a circle I might agree but you might get a few more opinions on that.

take care,
Carolyn

It should work on IE now.

Its hard to solve that without an error message. Unfortunately, there is not yet an IE 5 version for Macintosh.

Please tell me what you think about the image that moves with the cursor. The sides of the curve do look jagged, but you can do much about it because gifs only support 100% transparency.

Later,

Malte

Alright- a few interesting things:

1) No more javascript errors.

2) The picture of the tables moves? Is that supposed to be?

3) Still jagged edges. Why not using Flash for that part?

The image moves with the mouse, or rather against its direction. You cant use flash to create a similar effect, especially not if its integrated with HTML.

As you might notice, there is a layer with a transparent mask. YOu only see the moving image within that mask. Because gifs only support 100% transparency you can hardly get it better than that. Well, maybe you can, any suggestions?
