Topic: What do you think Part 2

[Canuck]

I guess I could have continued the other thread, but Ill start a new one.

Ive been working on the photograpy site for a little while now.  After working on it for a bit I changed how I wanted to do part of the site, which led to more work, but also meant I wasted time on working on the previous design, ah well.

A little background on how the site works.

Use the left/right arrows to move between the menus, as well as images in the slideshow.

Use the up/down arrows to move up/down in the menus.

To get to the slide show, make sure you have Winter selected (first option in the red menu), and click the Set button.  You can then view the slideshow.  To return to the menus, click the Menu button.

The general concept is pretty much done, Ive got it to a point where Im pleased with how the site is functioning.

I now have to work on the rest of the site, and probably have a little section to educate the users on how to use the site.

Any comments, suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks!

//edit: Looks like I may have to preload the images that you hover, I have to look into that.

I like the effects you have going on.  However, I do have a few suggestions.

1) If you want to preload the images, just create a div with the display property set to none and put your images inside that on the first load... it's kind of a cheap way to preload, but it works.  (And I don't really know of another way).

2) Have you considered using AJAX?  It's kind of annoying when the whole page reloads.  You could easily just replace the contents of the viewer.

Thanks for the suggestions, I havent worked with AJAX at all, I could look into it.

I originally didnt plan on having a new page, I just planned on hiding and showing everything with CSS, but it became a mess.

I know you posted some AJAX references, so Ill take a look.

I just added a few more as well.
