Eternal Family Project website comments

[Qacer]

I just finished my friend's website, Eternal Family Project. I would like to know if the layout is viewable on certain browsers. I've only tried it with IE6 and the latest version of Mozilla. Also, I was also wondering if there are any tips to optimize the images. I've already used PSP to optimize them. They total to about 600k.

Also, if you guys would like to help out the cause. Please do so.

Thanks!

I just changed the background... What do you think now?

I like the bulletin board, but honestly I have to go take an Excedrine for the background.

You've got something really messed up if that front page's images are 600 KB total. Also, that's a really ugly background. Headache-inducing, one might say.

Oh yeah? I thought it made the page look flashy, but I guess I'll change it to something less flashy.
Yep.. 600kb.. I'll need to check the optimization again..

Even if you did it as one big JPEG with image mapping it'd be smaller.

Website here
I just noticed with Mozilla that one of the onClick Javascript events that I implemented does not work. Take this example: click on the A+ writing on the yellow paper. The heart shaped post-it note should change to say "Education". However, if you click on the A+ writing the News Update text written on the yellow paper should change to "Education."

I use the following onClick event in the <A> tag: onClick="document.getElementById('corkboard20').src='corkboard_8x1-education.gif'"

corkboard20 is the name of the image that is being replaced. This works with IE 6.

Any tips?

Nicer background, but page still seems kinda bloated. Not bad if you only expect broadband users though.

I optimized the images and cut the size by half. Not bad. Although, I think I can still manage to get the total size under 100kB.
