This is a new design for a school[1]:
http://parkdayschool.schoolwires.com/parkdayschool/site/default.asp
I can't make much sense of the markup, but the one main issue I have
is with the drop down menus on the top bar. The drop-down menus on my
machine (linux/Firefox 1.5) are hidden by (below) the flash.
Do others see the same thing? Is there anything special required to
set the z-index for Flash? I remember in the past having some trouble
getting z-index to work with flash across different browsers.
Those rotating images in the flash file is something like 350K bytes --
seems like a large download just to display a few images. Are there
any Javascript dissolves that would be a better choice?
Site doesn't work in lynx, that's for sure. Not accessible at all.
I have plenty of other issues with the site, starting with validation
and broken css. But that's another issue.
[1] No, I am *not* involved in building this site, but I will advise
those that are paying for it. ;)
