Site problem please check

[raduCocieru]

Hi !

My client is a little unhappy with the speed of loading of it's site: www.ellenkent.com. They say that under Photos & Video the pictures do not fully load they claim to see only 25% of the picture sometime and that the site is not functional. :mad:

I've tested it on as many sistems as I could find from Mac OS to Linux, and every time it worked fine. :confused:

So, if you experience any troubles with the site please let me know. Any kind of feedback would be helpfull. ;)

Thanks.

Looks great on my end, not all the videos are there though but it says so at least. Video loads a bit slow, but it's video, video = big

[raduCocieru]

Thanks A lot, the problem after all was a bad flash player version the early Flash player 6.0.0.0 :)

[raduCocieru]

Yeap VIDEO is BIG about 1.8 Mb

Thanks

It works in IE, but in mozilla FireFox (win XP) I was unable to click anywhere!

[raduCocieru]

Yes, I've notice that, so far I couldn't find anything wrong so I'm thinking that this is some kind of plugin bug. I've experienced some trobles with FireFox which I use a lot, but sometimes it gives me some unexpected results, like can't fetch a page, which IE can and others. But this is a little off topic.

Thanks for replies.

Funky... Hm... :(

What kind of button is that??? I mean the button that says 'Synopsis' for example...
Is that custoom made button or some sort of component???

[raduCocieru]

Funky ? :D

Those are custom made buttons. But can be turned to components on request ;)

I ALWAYS use Firefox and have had no problems at all. Very strange....

Could that javascript be interfering?

[raduCocieru]

Don't think JavaScript has anything to do with it. That's just an fscommand interpreter.

[smoothhabitat]

Does it work when you just drop it in a plain HTML file, without all of the extra bells and whistles?

[CyanBlue]

Hm... fscommand??? What script do you have for that button???

[raduCocieru]

The only button with which triger a fscommad is Video from the Photos & Video page.

The strange think is that the simplest button wich has no effect on it but the normal keyframe for rollover has the same problem on FireFox, but only with in this site if I compile it in some other movie everything is OK.

REALLY STRANGE

[CyanBlue]

Can't say more than WEIRD!!! Hm... :(

[smoothhabitat]

dammit. we're solving this! firefox is the best browser ever in the existence of the world.

[raduCocieru]

The browser is one of the best, but it's somehow a little stupid to let an improper HTML format to mess up a plug-in's behavior.

Yes I solved the problem was this:<table .......> <tr><td height="35%"></td></tr>
<tr> <td><object .......><embed .....></td></tr>
<tr><td height="60%"></td></tr></table> .....

Don't ask how could I invent such layout, but I did. I wanted it vertically centered (and it was a really late hour Zzzz, Zzzz :( ).

Instead of just ignoring the height attribute from the <td> tag, not a w3c standard, firefox somehow tells the player that it is on X,Y coords on the screen when it really is at X1, Y1 with Y != Y1 and probably X != X1. So any on rollover was immediately followed by the on rollout event. And that was the problem. At least that is the only explanation I could come up with.

As I said the browser is one of the best, I am sure by the time they will release a strong 1 version not 0.x it will be the most used among the open source community at least.

Go FireFox ....

[smoothhabitat]

ah. yeah. see. w3c standards are good though. although vertically centering is a pain in the butt. i have to say that i agree with zeldman (http://www.zeldman.com/) on the whole tableless design is best concept. but, like you say, vertical centering.

you could do the whole page in Flash and auto-center the thing.
