Re: RMR662 Website!

http://browsershots.org/ use that site to test your cross browser. (it takes a few hours and u ahve to extrent your thing every 30minutes) but its worth it. It showed me what was worng with each browser and I got everything fixed (138 browsers are able to use on my site now because of it) also this gave me 9errors on each page but it shuld be fine seeing that you can see the page on 138 browsers and every touch phone device there is lol. and to answer your recent questions...

1. Do you guys grade across browser compatibility? I am having serious issues getting Flash videos to work, and HTML5 seems to fail on IE. I may be able to pull it off before thursday. (Dont worrie about flash cause you wont get it done in time. you have to know flash before coding it into a website (my suggestion is to go a read the tutorials after you submit it so that you can make it better)

2. Would you consider the content on this site geared toward everyone, or just our team? I personally see it as widespread, but I could see the argument for the latter.
Geared more towards everyone in a since

3. Are websites graded at the deadline (16th) or at regionals? the 16th eastern time. is say have it submitted on the 15th to be safe

also a few more suggestions:
Have a static FIRST Logo on your home page. The one in the flipimage thing is cool but I dont really think that is what the rules state (I read them like 15times it strictly wants a irst logo on your home page with a link) What I did was just put it as a static image and link to the first website. makes it easyer.

also on the home page you dont want to have people really scroll down to much you want it to be short and to the point.

Navigation on your site is a little confusing. you may lose points for that (expecially at first glance its really confusing... you ahve a resource bar/tab on the left but all your menu bar stuff is at the top. whats the resources doing on the left?

also I like how you set up your page except it gets to jumbled on some pages and why do you have 9+ pages at the bottom of the home page? thats confusing...

sorry for spelling....really tired tonight lol
Hope this helped good luck to you and your team
