Rogue's Gallery -- A favor, please...

No more side-scrolling, I hope!

I think I've got the page formatted so that it "scales" to different screen
resolutions without requiring side-scrolling to see everything. Fixing it
involved converting everything from plain text to "tables" that can be set
to a percentage of size -- thanks to everyone who suggested that process.

Please check it out at http://www.alexisparkinn.com/rec_aviation.htm, and
let me know if it now looks okay under your screen resolutions?

Thanks!

I think I've got the page formatted so that it "scales" to different
screen
resolutions without requiring side-scrolling to see everything.
A VERY good point- The horizontal scroll bar is definitely "taboo" as
discussed the very first day of Web Design school.

Building to 800 by 600 is still recommended and setting your tables to a
"percentage" will fill a larger browser size too.

Another common problem is "constraining" an image to display smaller that it
really is. Humongous file sizes and long download times result from this
very bad practice. I see your thumbnails are displayed actual size- (and are
actually a quite small file size) very good!

Your site looks great- keep up the good work!

Jay,

The formatting looks fine to me, but it is slowing down a bit as it gets
bigger. Maybe time to break up into several sections?

Yeah, I noticed that, too. It seems to have slowed somewhat -- perhaps a
side-effect of adding a whole bunch of "tables" so that it scales
automatically?

*sigh* Solve one problem, create another. Just like aviation, no?

Hi Jay

lose the comma behind htm - otherwise we get "page not found"

Site works great for me but I do have a couple of problems with it -

Sounds - P51 Flyby and Great Sounding Engine both work - Radial Startup
doesn't.

Video - they all work except two - Oh My God and Low Pass.

I am running a Mac - is that why?

Other than that - great site, and thanks for offering a venue to display
our aircraft - it is appreciated.

Some of the pictures in the historic pictures pages, stay at thumbnail sizes
when clicked on.

Otherwise, great site. I find myself strangely drawn to Iowa City! Quick,
call the doctor! ;-)

Yeah, I don't know what's up with Radial Startup. It plays on the computer
it's residing on, but not on-line. I'll screw around with it tomorrow.

Video - they all work except two - Oh My God and Low Pass.

Oh, man -- those are the best ones! (Well, "Oh My God" is the best, by
far...)

I have no idea why those two aren't running on your system. They work using
Windows Media Player for me here at home, and on my laptop. (When I use
RealPlayer, I have to screw around with it a bit to get 'em to run. Don't
know why that is...)

Other than that - great site, and thanks for offering a venue to display
our aircraft - it is appreciated.

Ain't it cool? I think it's great to see everyone, and their aircraft.

I never, ever thought it would be so popular! :-)

I haven't "fixed" the whole site -- just the Rogue's Gallery. (Figured I'd
experiment on the "expendable" part of the site, first! :-) I'll check
that out, though.

Mostly I want to hear from folks who routinely keep their screen resolution
at 800 x 600 (any Mr. Magoo's in an aviation forum?), to let me know if the
Rogue's Gallery is "scaling" properly for that resolution.

Otherwise, great site. I find myself strangely drawn to Iowa City!

Aside from some of the nutcases running the city government, Iowa City is
about the best place I can think of to live and play. Must be why it's
routinely voted one of the top ten medium-sized communities in the nation!

Looks fine at 800 x 600. Hey, who you calling Mr. Magoo? I resemble that
remark! ;-)
