New QBasic site
« on: October 17, 2004, 12:46:29 PM »

JacobPalm.dk has just launched their new QBasic and VBDOS site. It's still under construction, but it's well worth a look.
When the site is completed it will feature tutorials, tips & tricks, downloads and a GUI section.
The author has set up a guestbook where you can post your comments to the site, and help him make it a nice QBasic place.

Looks like a good start!  I'll add a link on Pete's QB Site when I get the chance.

BUT: Your menu system doesn't work properly on Mozilla FireFox.   When you load up the homepage, everything works as it should... but once you click one of the links in the menu, the new page is loaded WITHOUT the menu.  Only the homepage shows the menu; all the sub-pages don't work.

In Internet Explorer, the page works fine.

Just thought I'd let you know.

It looks like it's going to be a good site! Smiley I hope it gets done soon!

p.s. alert boxes can be pretty annoying, maybe you should take the alert box off the homepage...

Thank you for your positive comments!

To VonGodric: I'll keep an eye on your site!
To Pete: Thank you for letting me know about that bug. I'll work on it.
And to Jeremy: I guess you're right. I've removed the alert box.

I noticed the Firefox problem as well. Too bad things aren't always compatible across browsers.

You need to make it FF compatible otherwise I wont visit it =P. Also, I hope you plan on updating the site frequently otherwise it will just become a dead site like tons of QB sites out there.

Anyway nice start Wink.

I've set up a temporary solution for the Firefox problem. Visitors can now press a link at the front page to go to a page which users frames instead of the javascript menu.
I've also installed Firefox on my computer and will test JacobPalm.dk with it to assure compitability with Firefox.

I would suggest switching from your current JavaScript method for the menus to a simple DIV swapping method using CSS and a small bit of very simple JavaScript.

I've used this method before, and it's compatible with just about every curent browser, including IE, FireFox, Opera, Netscape and AvantBrowser.

Here's an example from the W3c:

Code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
    "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
 
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
  <head>
    <meta name="generator"
    content="HTML Tidy for Linux/x86 (vers 1st March 2002), see www.w3.org" />
    <meta http-equiv="content-type"
    content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" />
 
    <title>show/hide div</title>
<style type="text/css">
/*<![CDATA[*/
 
h1, h2 {
    text-align: center;
    }
 
img {
    float: left;
    clear: left;
    margin-right: 1em;
    margin-bottom: 2px;
    width:70px;
    height: 50px;
    border: 3px red outset;
    background-color: silver;
    }
 
img:hover {
    cursor: pointer;
    }
 
img:active {
    border: 3px red inset;
    }
 
#div1 {
    padding: 5px 15px;
    background-color: #f99;
    }
 
#div2 {
    padding: 5px 15px;
    background-color: #9f9;
    }
 
#div3 {
    padding: 5px 15px;
    background-color: #99f;
    }
 
 
 
/*]]>*/
</style>
<script type="text/javascript">
//<![CDATA[
 
function change(which) {
    document.getElementById('div1').style.display = 'none';
    document.getElementById('div2').style.display = 'none';
    document.getElementById('div3').style.display = 'none';
    document.getElementById(which).style.display = 'block';
    }
 
function showall() {
    document.getElementById('div1').style.display = 'block';
    document.getElementById('div2').style.display = 'block';
    document.getElementById('div3').style.display = 'block';

By the way, you'll have to use absolute placement of your divs across the top of the frame, right where you want them to pop up, and the "onmouseover" command instead of the "onclick" that's in the example.

You can do submenus pretty easily too.

Danish only ?
« Reply #12 on: January 21, 2005, 11:18:51 AM »

I know a few words of Danish, but they are unsufficient here :wink:

I understand "Webmaster" and "email", but the rest would be worth a translation help...

Nice job anyway !

Well, sorry if my site had some "childhood" problems, but they should all be worked out by now...

And Pete: Thank you for your code, but I think I'll stick to the current design. I still appreciate your help, though.
