Still need to redesign the home page and add a text nav bar at the bottom of each page plus other tweaking but for now I'd like to know I've at least grasped the basics of DW. The frequently changed page is at http://www.masna.org/whatsnew.htm . I'm using the SoThink DHTML Menu as a Library Item. When viewing the page in WIN ME IE6, I get the message "Javascript error, line 8, object expected" and "recursive reference to footer.lbi". I don't get this error viewing in WIN XP Pro IE6 and have no idea how to fix it. |
The error you're seeing is because your <body> tag includes a call to
js_function(). That particular function is not define in either your
source, or the linked .js file. In some browsers, a JavaScript error
will prevent any further JavaScript from executing, meaning that your
menu won't work, even for those users who have JavaScript turned on.
The other 10%, who have JavaScript turned off won't be able to use the
menu either.
Apart from that, the SoThink menu looks and works well except for the
bold text rollover causing the navigation bar to expand and contract.
However, the .js file used for the menu is 30k in size. That's huge
when you stop to think that your target weight for the page and all
linked files should be no more that 40-45k. Your images total 91k and
your html is 25k. That makes your page 146k, or about three times what
it should be. Dial-up users probably won't wait for it. You could trim
down the size of the HTML if you used CSS for styling instead of all
those nasty <font> tags, but your images and the JavaScript are the
biggest offenders.
Your code starts out, right after the <body> tag with a <tr> tag.
There is no opening <table> tag. and there is no closing </table> tag
for the table that is never begun.
There are also a lot of invalid table/cell dimensions specified. You
need to think about validating the page and cleaning up the errors.
The W3C validator finds 62 errors on the page. See them at:
http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.masna.org%2Fwhatsnew.ht m
The page falls apart rather badly in NN4, probably because of all the
code errors.
