Critique me please...

tell me what you guys think of my site...I've been working on it for a few days now and I'm wondering what you guys think...so let me have it

I want to know what you think about the design and functionality of the whole thing. What renders weird or loads weird on your browser, etc. I know when using Safari browser the header is different colors.

(just ignore the content )

FWIW, the main page will be getting a make-over soon I just need to figure out what I am going to stick there (ideas are welcomed )

the empty basket on the front page looks like it has a 80's style square around it (because it does). Make it a transparent background to break that look up. And put some garbage in there, it looks better with the paper. Maybe try a bananna peel or other items like computer parts. As long as it does not look cheesy. An old monitor sitting in the top of the can, too large to fit inside???

actually that pic is transparent...but its going to go as soon as I figure out what is going on that page

in IE6 I see the square, in firefox I don't see the square. Sounds like you don't care about the basket anyays for now. the rest looks good, simple, easy, clean, colors go well.

thats good to know though, since I dont have IE I can't test it on that

Bad execution, but since I wasted my time on this you get to see it anyways

The problem with the box is that in your code you have a "<th" and it should be a "<td" as you start your table cell. See if that works is all of browsers

hmmm, when I changed it to <td it moved everything to the left (yes I closed it with the correct tag too </td> )

I see the box around the trashcan too.

http://www.macjunk.org/phpBB2/ looks very nice, clean and functional, very nice.

WAIT! why am I looking at a Mac page! Clever of you to lure me in for a "critique". I'm on to you now, buster.

 

[Caleb]

try that icon on the front page...I threw iTunes away

can one of you guys take a screenshot of the square around the can?

Looks good to me. (although I'm craving an apple for some reason?)

 

[Mr.Chevy]

Are you going to keep it where any one can post? It is looks very good.

 

[Rickomatic]

With FireFox 1.0.5 and Netscape 8 it looks great.
I get the box with IE 6.
Here is a screen shot from my IE 6 sp2.

those that were seeing the square before try it now, I colored the background the same as the body background instead of haiving it transparent. I also added more "junk" to the trash can

Not quite the right color. I still see a blue box now.

 

[Caleb]

try it now, I DL'd IE 5.2 for the mac (last version available ) and I could see the box too, I changed it back to transparent and it went away...tell me what you see???

 

[Rusted]

One more critique. Some people are still on 800 * 600 believe it or not. Best practice is to develop a site for 800*600 that still works in larger sizes. All you need to do is remove some spaces to bring your basket and enter up a little higher and you will fit perfect in 800*600 and still look fine in the larger sizes.

Nope color is worse now, the square is a light blue. See screenshot
