Default black and white - experimenting with css

Hey folks,

i've been doing some tinkering with CSS as of late, exploring the possibilities and all that.

Here's one of the layouts i've come up with.

Just looking for feedback on layout, appearance, but mostly accessability. I've tested in FF, IE and Opera, and it's all good (except for the IE Bug of position:fixed for the menu).

Please lemme know if you encounter anything you should find bug-wise.

thanks.

Looking good in IE, FF, Opera, Navigator and even Avant Browser (which of course is IE again)

Default Accessibility

The first thing to check regarding Accessibility is can the user resize the text?. The answer is No using < IE6 for your site.

it's great
original idea ... this is the most important!
now you can play with hours with it ... it's fun by my own experience
try to made left - right maybe it will be cool
scroll also can be added only on the film (content)
keep up the good work!

Default Oops!

Looks like all you need to add now is the language attribute to make it 100% compliant.
Good work!

Nice look. I'd like to see the colored bulbs increased in intensity (just a little). Maybe even the same red you used in the navigation button.

In larger screen resolutions the design rather fails in that there is more area of dead black than anything else. The navigation is not obvious tucked up in the top right corner. Can't this be css too?

Nice design idea for b/w photgraphy. Otherwise white on black is not ideal for reading.

Hi Ran

Its nice, clean and original. I can see the argument for black and white, this web page works because of the subject matter.

My only quarrel (and it could be my fault for being a smarty pants and buying a huge monitor) is the amount of black space between the film section and the right-hand image/navigation. I have a 19" monitor viewed on 1280 x 1024 in Mozilla Firefox and it almost looks separate. Sure white (or in this case black) space on a site is a good thing, but this severs the page into 2 separate sections.

It might be worth your while to move the film a little to the right.

Your font is sizeable so thats a good thing.

Nice one! :)

Hey all, thanks for the reviews!

that's kinda the point...this site wasn't necessarily about 'the obvious'...furthermore, i don't see how it would be even possible to scan this page and NOT see it.

it is...minus the 'navigation' img.


As for the scalable text in IE, i've tried a few times to properly integrate EM's instead of PT's for font sizes, and am not really sold on that idea. it's never really worked for me.

thanks again.

Try using %ages for the text sizes, these will resize fine in IE..
