Fun with HTML, JavaScript, etc.

Just updated the Javascript page on bearcooks.com. Anyone with a Mac who can give me some feedback as to what works and what doesn't?

Was very productive today ... dropped Jack off at work, went to the gym, cleaned the big kitchen rug, did a load of laundry, loaded and unloaded the dishwasher, bought some tuna and soft drinks at Target, looked unsuccessfully for CD cases, wrote and debugged a web page, chatted with people around the world, blew leaves out of the backyard, and watched some TV. I love this between-semester time ... but then, classes start again on the 14th, and they're going to be a lot harder than last semester's.

On Safari I noticed there was no link back the the food page from the Galleries.
I didn't look through every page... yet!

Looks nice!

The Gallery page is from Jack's web site, so I have to update that with a bearcooks-specific page. Thanks for noticing!

Looks great!

The cover of the book wouldn't change color for me, and as you scroll down the list of recipes, if the header is a dark color, the pattern on the left side does a color shift.

Also, there is no Worcestershire Sauce in your scalloped oyster recipe!

ALT Tags do not work in Safari ,try using TITLE instead.
The burning logo on the bottom of the JavaScript page is justified left instead of center.
The section headers on the recipe page ie Soups, Breads.... act as rollover color changes instead of the solid black on my work PC. Makes the sections look like they are links.

and... the light blue text that acts as an affordance on the front page is a bit too light for the background for visibility, especially for us bifocal wearers.

Thanks, that's just the sort of feedback I was looking for!

No prob... I looked at home on my Mac, but needed to get to my office where I have both platforms. Part of my job is to maintain and update two sprawling websites. Not just cutting and pasting copy and making it pretty, but writing the copy which is pretty tough. I'm about to start adding almost 200 more pages but not sure of my approach yet. I deal with the cross platform issues so I know that tightrope.

Here's the 4 year degree I started at age 39 and finished a month before I turned 42! Whoever said that 'old dog-new trick' thing didn't know me.

I knew about that one ... even put the error message in myself.

Thanks! I'm also an old dog, to be just learning this stuff now.
