I need as many people as possible to please view this page with as many different browsers as possible and as many resolutions as possible and let me know what you think of it. I'm not trying to promote my site I just need to know if it will work for all users. Don't follow the links they just go to different pages that is not relevent to the website because this is a testing server. Please let me know what you think.

It looks good on Mozilla 1.3, 800*600, Win 98. In order to improve it: Validate your HTML (http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A//kd7pyo.infinitypages.com/)
Validate your CSS (http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?uri=http%3A//kd7pyo.infinitypages.com/)
Check accessibility issues (http://bobby.watchfire.com/bobby/bobbyServlet?URL=http%3A//kd7pyo.infinitypages.com/&output=Submit&gl=wcag1-aaa&test=)
Then correct any errors. Have fun.

You might also want to fix the 5 (!!) broken links on your homepage...

Just take a look at it in Lynx (http://www.delorie.com/web/lynxview.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Fkd7pyo.infinitypages.com%2F) to get an idea of what a non-graphical browser that ignores the TABLE element will do to it. And you can expect it to be much worse on non-graphical browsers that present TABLEs.

If you want your page to work for all users then you will need to use HTML 4.01 Strict. You can find a partial list of your HTML errors at http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.delorie.com%2Fweb%2Flynxview.cgi%3Furl%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Fkd7pyo.infini typages.com%252F&doctype=HTML+4.01+Strict&charset=windows-1252+%28Western+Europe%29

And you would need to comply with all Priority 1 and Priority 2 guidelines at http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG10/.

Cm'on, pyro, we were asked not to consider the links.

I don't know about the source/functionality (didn't have time to look), but from the design standpoint it looks great!!! to me. I really like it.

I checked in IE and NS4 in two different resolutions - looks nice and clean everywhere.

The only comment on design I can make is - I wouldn't use Dandy Group twice in the header. It'ls like getting two different logos.

Good job.

ie6 800x600 is fine. How about making the hover color darker on the links?

ps thank us for our patience not patients in your updates section.

O-ops, went over the site in NS4 again, and noticed that the input field for the search does not show.

It's displays normally. Or do you mean something else?

Then, whenever it runs, it check to see if the current IP is equal to one in the file. If so, it updates the time, if not, it appends it to the end. It also checks through all the IPs that are different and check if they are older than the set amount of time. If so, it removes them from the file.
