for me the iframe with the text in it is too small vertically. hard to read esp if u are planning on having images in there as well
why not have all your thumbnails showing? seems silly to hide half of them in an iframe
sweet sketches tho :)
my 2cents

Scrolling pane is far to small. I have to sceroll for every line. You have so much space there – make it bigger!!

yeah mite have a play with the frame sizes, maybe get rid of the third one at the bottom or something...thaks for the comments

agree with the boxes being way too small. In Firefox windows 2000 there's this above soe of the images though..
< %@LANGUAGE="JAVASCRIPT" CODEPAGE="1252"%

Yeah, the frames are far too small. Why not try it something simple like this http://www.metwork.co.uk/ or have two frames for work and text but make them fill the page (50% each).

http://www.eatock.com/ - click on the about this site section. You can copy the structure of the site which is what I think you're kinda going for. Then send him the link to add to his and get some extra traffic to your work.

I agree with everyone else about the size of the iframes.
I'd also suggest doing something with the scrollers - does that css work in Firefox? I disliked it enough to uninstall, but may have to reinstall to check that...Another thing is that you may want to consider:
If it's supposed to be 'loose', with no visible boundaries, then let it be loose - play with the iframes extending further. Maybe combine two of them into one for the news, then two for other things.
Or
if it's a rigid grid, then make it a little more visible. Right now I can't tell why the iframes are so tiny, although I assume because it fits your grid.The three iframes could look cool and work, but it might take some iframes in iframes. Use the JS to get them to change all at once (feel free to swipe the code from my site).
Lastly, I prefer to see rollovers happen and never understand why some sites don't have them. I'd change the css on the menu - make them two tones of gray or something subtle.

much better in my opinion.
Just one more thing. How about assigning colors to the "visited" links. My gf would be a little annoyed by not being able to know which links she's clicked. But then she complaisn too much about many things.

damn! I just broke my nail and it hurts like bitch!
- craigatkinson0
ha yeah, had line through but it looked messy, will have a look. How do I make the text come in slightly from the left? I treid page properties and frame props but no joy!
- VectorMasked0
you have in the html page within the frame:
COLOR: #fff00
you're missing one "0" .
as the alignment you could do it using:
padding-left: 4px
or play with margin in css

Much, much better, easy to navigate/view the work and wont piss anyone off.
I like the post form your mum in the forum telling you she'll see you at dinner too :p
- VectorMasked0
don't you have to correct some mistakes you did with the links?
for example you have:
typewriter
elmobut the letter" r" is not a part of the "typewriter link"
Just fix the tags.Also, what's the deal with the
white painting links? the numbers after the words white painting are sometimes separate from the link, etc...
Well, can't explain it
Check it out by yourself andyou'll see you might have to fix the tags in those links
- craigatkinson0
cheers, yeah my mum being subtle! will look at those links when time! At least I know how framesets work now, tomorrow the universe!
