Designs 1 and 2 aren't completed yet, but design 3 is close enough to being done, and I just wanted to know what you all thought of it??

Thank you for your time.

@import doesnt work in NN4, only in NN6+ and IE5+ (Moz, Opera, Safari etc accept this as standard), this was the idea as youthen had one CSS file all browsers could read (basic.css) wich also contained NN4 only declarations, the @ import css(advanced) would display the more complicated css in v5+ browsers which support CSS1 & 2.

NN4 only actually supports: color, background-color, font (all but size and width) and a few other basic ones. nn4 also doesn't support link states.

Ah, you mean the Freeola Logo images?

Those were actually done by them, available for use in the compo.

Just out of interest, I noted some real problems with Netscape and the @import function in CSS. Is this correct syntax:




.. or including just '@import url("More_Advance.css");' within the Basic.css Style Sheet?

I onl ask as the book, 'Webmaster in a nutshell', states that this is correct, but Netscape seemed to ignore the call for the other style sheet. I'm just wondering if the systax is wrong (a misspring in the book) or is Netscape just doesn't like it?

The balls have an OSX "Gell" GUI Feel to them, The MAC UI.

I don't suppose you'd be able to take a screen shot for me would you??

What "Gell/Mac" button/ball thing would this be?? I've never heared if it before.

As for what it looks like in Opera, how broke is it?

All I'm really doing is the designing though, and chances are it won't be picked as a winner. But if it were, the code optimizing would be down to the Special Reserve/Freeola coders, 'tis only a £30 game as a prize after all :)

The first and third are broken in Opera :o

They don't look different to a normal SR page..

I like number 3, though the whole "Gell/Mac" button/ball thing is so last year!
