Layout is broken in Opera 7.23 on WinXP - I can screenshot if you want it.
I'm on ADSL and some of the pages take a while to come together. (esp
international students!) - dial up will be worse for sure.
http://www.webpageanalyzer.com/ suggests a load time for that page of
around 25 seconds, plus build time. (built in test in Firebird - hope your
search results don't get screwed)
on that page you've one gif for each flag - could they not be combined?
Your CSS could have more shorthand
td.courseDescTitle
{
background-color: #e0e8ec;
font-weight: bold;
font-family: verdana, sans-serif;
font-size: 11px;
}
could become:
td.courseDescTitle
{
background: #E0E8EC;
font: bold 11px verdana, sans-serif;
}
and you'd shave a few bytes by dropping the px of the zero values ;o)
On a personal taste note, I didn't like to see the people's heads cut
off. It took a while to get used to the navigation made a little worse by
the graphics flashing in on every page, can't some of the image be common
to all pages? (I see why it isn't but loading a different 64 k image at
each level?) I'd split it into the header background and the side menu
background.
Hmm.
must. do. work.
