Team1065.com - Finally Released

Technical Website Design/Showcase
1

I’ve never actually posted that we have a team site, even though I’ve sent links out to it before. After a long talk with my web team, we’ve decided to finally post it for everyone to see. Please keep in mind the Spanish section is NOT finished due to our school blocking our login pages.

It’s all appreciated!

Oh…please sign the guestbook!

That website looks really well done

That’s a really cool to add multilingual support :slight_smile:

You do have some HTML errors that… for full (or optimal, at least) compatibility you should fix.

For example, your link to your spanish version has <a href="…" alt=“text here”>. anchors do not have support for alt… but if you are looking for mouse over text, you should use

title=“the text here”

in the anchor code. Secondly, the use of <center> has been depreciated over the years. You really should use <div align=“center”> </div> or something like that.

For a full list of errors, clicky!

If you ever need ANY help… one thing you shouldn’t do is hesitate to ask :slight_smile:

Good luck,
Jonathan

**Edit:**Whoa, major Freudian slip up there. it should be title="" not name="". My bad.

Good website. Now comes the criticism:

I like how you just sorta end your website without a body or html tag.

<img src="http://www.team1065.com/pics/teamsmall.JPG" alt="team picture">
</center> (the end)

Just tack on some ending html tags and you’ll be fine.

Didn’t your mommy ever tell you you’re not supposed to use tables to layout your site? :slight_smile: There’s really no need for the huge amount of tables on your site. I also love the table within a table. :stuck_out_tongue:

I’m not trying to be mean I’m just in a really sarcastic mood. I couldn’t find anything wrong with the front-end of your site so had to make fun of your code. You’ve got an amazing amount of content. Being multi-lingual is something alot of team websites lack (including me). Is it computer translated or human generated? Good luck with your website.

I only use tables on the navigation bar, mentors page and sponsors page. Otherwise it’s all DIVs and CSS

It’s human translated, that’s why it’s not 100% done yet.

Also, I’ll look into about closing off those tags.

if you don’t like tables i wouldn’t look at my site’s source code.:rolleyes:…it has like 5 nested tables…btw im going to redo the site this summer with css but i needed to get it done quick so i used tables.

You two guys above me should read this:

Anyway both your sites look great. I’ll shut up now :X

Looks very nice. I thought it was a pretty cool coincidence that our president’s name is Tatsu =)

So, I’m happy to announce that I’m almost done with translating the website to spanish.

When michelle ask me if I wanted to translate the website, I almost died, it was like an early christmas present. :slight_smile:

Ok, so your wrong. There is nothing wrong with using tables in a web site. Actually they are actually a very powerful tool in laying out your site. When used in unison with CSS ( you can combine the two ) they can display data in very creative AND SIMPLE TO MANAGE ways. Instead of messing around with a DIV within a DIV within a DIV and their float values and margins you have one table and that it. And as far as what people call accessibility, it makes no difference if you are using pure tables, pure CSS, or both, they will all validate if you code them right, and you should code them right. So in conclusion, you just got based, that is all.

You mean biased. You need to read this: The problem with using tables.
I don’t want to derail this thread so I’m not gonna bring this up anymore. :stuck_out_tongue: Let me just say tables are not simple to go through and manage.

Congratulations on winning the website award at the Florida Regional!

Great job translating the site into Spanish. I also like the new team logo/color scheme.

Keep up the good work!

14

Ditto what Kristian said.

Awesome work! :slight_smile:

15

align is also depreciated. the correct way to do this is to set the left to 50% then use a negative margin set to half the width of the div.

just a web standards update :smiley:

actually, you’re terribly wrong here.

  1. the w3c explicitly states in the xhtml definition that tables should not be used for layout.
  2. tables render screen readers useless, and make your site a pain in the butt for blind people to read. they will hear something like 'table with three columns and two rows. table with two columns and five rows. link. graphic. new row. graphic ‘header’. …
  3. tables are meant to be used for tabular data like spreadsheets, timetables, and calendars.
  4. table based websites take far longer to change than css-based websites because they are so rigidly structured.
  5. you show absolutely no skill at web design if you have to use tables for your layout, and then argue that tables are meant to do that. thats like using framesets to design your site, totally last decade. You can achieve all of that with css.
