I'm making my own website and would like your help with some stuff :)

[Havoc10K]

So, I'm working on my website, which has so damn few flaws, one of them is it allows Internet Explorer to display everything properly (or so Tyiler claims, cuz I never bothered updating my IE 9.0 so I operate on his word) so I decided to re-write the website for HTML5, you can find the address in my signature (right under the image) to see how it currently looks. Don't get your hopes up, i'm not talented yet enough, I managed to make it work on Chrome with 100% accuracy. The rest of the browsers rely on their moods at this moment. I will work on it some more, but right now the main problem is the design of the website.

The overall design of placements will not change, I'll probably add a header later on, the menu and content and footer will remain as they are, I'm using iframe for galleries and it works well for me.

Being the least talented in the artistic field I would like to ask for help from you, oh so talented community (wink wink).
I'm totally not mocking, really.

What I need:
2 buttons: 158x30 for menu

Possible background image for Content (frame)
Possible background for Menu (Menu)
Aquatic theme, possibly related with Ika Musume.
1 Image for button will be main menu image and the second will be on :hover. So do take that into account
everything can and should use transparency, so png 

This being the Lounge I feel like I can do it here, but if the staff decide it should be elsewhere I will not object.
I'm doing the website to both hone my coding abilities and as part of my hobby/obsession.

Now, what do you gain by helping me ?
I'll make a credits page where your names (BBT Forum usernames) will be. As thanks.

Yes, i am dead serious on making this site complete, also if you have ideas how to fix it for most popular browsers
-Firefox
-whatevers
-IE (I want the website to NOT work with IE at all XD so it needs fixing )

I know from Tyiler on which it works just fine, i just don't remember all the names. I'm sure it works on Chrome 100% and that is enough for now. But I would like to fix it on others.

Also if you have any suggestions on how to fix other stuff like colors etc then post as well. For colors please use hash (#xxxxxx) because I am colorblind 30% and your color suggestions might be different from what I see

As a general rule there should be no double posting, but as a topic maker I will allow for a single double post, just don't make it messy, I'll reply to as many posts as possible so please be patient.

I want my website to be successful So i want user input on how to make it better

i'm curious as well, i wanna know how to host your website from your equipment and not some rented space off the net. might play with a java based GUI if i get to know about it and start with something simple like a chat site with a few game like x/o as an experiment.

Well, i'm using dropbox for now, the entire website content is surprisingly low in space, and tweaked around you acan actually use dropbox as an effective starter. If you click on the link below my signature you will see how it works now, it's dropbox so some content will take time to load but works just fine on Chrome and some other browsers.

I just want it to not work at ALL with Internet Explorer and I'm pretty damn sure you can make your own website server by hosting it on your own computer, i used to experiment with this years ago but I don't remember how it works right now, but using a server node is easier as they maintain teh tech stuff while you support the website stuff, if something doesn't work you can yell at the service provider, if your site doesn't work, you can yell at the mirror

I only find solution on how to make it work
Internet, you disappoint

using google to find out how to make your website not work with IE

Tried adding a lot of junk activex? Or just junk in some IE specific script?

[Havoc10K]

I don't want to add too much as it will simply make the site load longer, I've been searching for javascripts to block access for IE

Found a small bug in my index so i'll update in a minute.

I dunno how to completely erase the problem with iframe not loading, it's bugging me.

Here is the easiest way I've found thus far:

JavaScript Method

This is a good fallback if you aren't able to use any server-executed code. It has the benefit of being fairly difficult to defeat, since it works on the browser's appName property, which is usually hardcoded into the browser and is difficult to change. The disadvantages are that, first, it will annoy users of browsers that don't use javascript; second, it will permit entry by MSIE users when they have JavaScript disabled. The <meta> redirect will attempt to cope with browsers that don't support or aren't configured to use JS.

    Move your index.html file to another filename as above.
    Place the following in a new index.html file:

    <html>
    <head>
            <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="1;
    URL=http://www.domain.com/realhomepage.html">
    </head>
    <body>
    <script language="javascript">
    <!--
    if (navigator.appName == "Microsoft Internet Explorer") {
            document.location = "http://www.domain.com/ie_reject.shtml";
    } else {
            document.location = "http://www.domain.com/realhomepage.html";
    }
    // -->
    </script>
    </body>
    </html>

    Adjust the URLs accordingly.

I'll test that after dinner, but I know why this will work, IE is simply stupid

[kitamesume]

whats the hate with IE? lol

[Havoc10K]

Cuz it's stupid ?

[rathoriel]

Cuz it's stupid ?

Your Stupid

[Havoc10K]

Your Stupid

Rofl ...NOT my stupid.

Anyways, I'm still checking while changing some stuff, but nothing seems to make it work better with other browsers.

For now it'll work with Chrome 100%

OP can't website.

[Andres2x07]

If you're only using html and javascript you don't need a whole hosting solution.
Even more if you are on development stage.

Also, dont worry about IE, just code your site and let it break alone in the browser.
And check your color palette.

And you can of course.

This isn't about hosting. Personally if the website works in chrome I'm happy as I don't use other browsers, but yet again, i would like to have it working on other browsers properly.

As for color palette:

For colors please use hash (#xxxxxx) because I am colorblind 30% and your color suggestions might be different from what I see

Because Microsoft has a history of being horrible at following industry standards.

I just want it to not work at ALL with Internet Explorer

If I recall correctly, what they have had most problems with in the past was CSS.
So if you make use of advanced CSS, you are bound to break something in IE. (Well, probably in other browsers as well.)
Then again, it's probably easier to just block user agents that reports themselves as IE, as buchno suggested.

[Havoc10K]

For now I'd like to make evrything work correctly, then I'll start making pranks.

[Andres2x07]

What I meant by "check your palette" wasn't the colors itself, even if you could use a hand on that, but for you to use shades.
You can pick a color and have 4 or 5 shades and spread them in the site.

I'll get to that later, Firstly, making the website work properly is my priority, but I'll work on other aspects in the meantime.

Fuck yeah, screw you Internet Explorer

[Havoc10K]

Amnesty for IE, though it still might not work sometimes

Site grows nicely :3
Added:
Comments section (and it works!)

Added:
Files! (just one for now, spreading the good!)

Updated:
Site's History.

With the hate you have generated across space and time the only help you are going to get is how to bring it down faster.
