BTW - most sites only give a sense of spreading out - by having everything within a main table and centering that table. I chose not to take that route and went with the style that many other sites do - including CNN.com.

HTML was never really meant for strong physical formatting, if you want lots of graphics then perhaps Shockwave is what you should really be using. Check out:
http://www.freestreetdesign.com Also vector graphics are faster-loading, but the whole thing scales itself without changing the time to load. That said this goes against what I said about compatability with older software. I can't view your site right now, it doesn't seem to be up, but from what I remember there was a column on the left with icons, a heading across the top, and the rest of the content fille dthe remaining gap. It would be simple enoug to fix the dimensions of the heading and navigation column, and leave the rest to itself. Either that or use tables in the content part that also use proportional widths within that space. Tell me to shove my advice up my arse if you like, I don't know if I'm treading on your toes yet. PS. you're up early?

I know the people at web-services - but it's not really a "hosting" company. I go over stuff with them that i want to do - and then they always blow everythign out to 100 times more than what I'm asking and say it's not doable right now. Hell - they won't put PHP on the servers because of supposed security issues. At first they said they would - if I tested it out on a stand alone system, now they don't remember saying that at all. Then it was because they would have to update the maintence releases. If it wasn't one thing - then it was another. I've decided to go with Dreamhost and see how they are. They have everything I'm looking for excpet JSP/Java and Tomcat. Quote:

Maybe somebody already asked this, but do you have vBulletin as a server (or whatever that's called) hosting your message board? It just has a similar layout to this one, or is that a standard layout? Very nice either way.

Also - thanks for the compliment. Gimli - thanks for signing up and all the other mooters who have. I know that unless you have plans to come to NJ or live in NJ - there isn't much sense in signing up. Of course Gimli might start in on the Devils or something. ![]()

That's not a dig, that's a compliment!
Besides, you could poke fun at the Leafs in the same way. Don't they have a lot of American players?

I'm trying to get advertising for my website and I neeed people to test something out for me. One person at a lodging establishment said that the Lodging application ran very slow....
"When you go to lodging and try to find out about CAPE MAY, or NORTH WILDWOOD, etc. it loads VERY VERY slow, and I have a fast DSL. People are not going to wait for the info to come up." I have tested it out repeatedly, but I have not had any slow downs in receiving the information. Can you test this out and tell me how it runs for you. http://www.aboutnewjersey.com/Lodgings/index.php Pleaee let me know what equipment you are running - Browser (aol, ie, netscape, etc), computer speed, modem speed (cable, dsl, dial-up), etc. Thanks

This page (http://www.aboutnewjersey.com/Lodgings/index.php) didn't take more than 5 seconds to load for me.
I use Mozilla Firefox, and I have a 384kbps DSL connection. I tried it in IE (version 6) and it loaded just as quickly. Maybe the guys firewall or virus scan was being funky?Good luck troubleshooting that. ![]()

No worries.
![]() If it was a server problem, the site should be fine for the person who reported the problem. Did you get him to try again? I like your mouse-over popup box things BTW. EDIT: I didn't have any trouble browsing around the site either.

Thanks. I'm going to hopefully collect some more information from people and then e-mail them on Monday.
