Work has begun on DACU Version 8.0, incorporating CSS and attempting
to fix the awkward and unwieldy image slideshows.
The main page at http://www.donnaair.co.uk/index.html has been given a
new look, although it's likely to change before the update is complete.
The FHM gallery is the first of the picture pages to be overhauled.
Visit http://www.donnaair.co.uk/pictures/fhm/slideshow.html to see the
new style we're trialling. The new picture format does require both
CSS and Java - if you're on XP, you'll have to choose to 'allow active
content' from the information bar in Internet Explorer. We think it's
worth it, as it keeps everything on one page with no slow-loading
frames.
As this update continues, expect more detailed content on the Articles
pages, a generally more sleek appearance as the CSS styling expands,
and a change from .html to .htm extensions, just to tidy things up a
little.
Please, please, let us know what you think, either by replying to the
Yahoo! Group or in private to update8@...
Please tell us especially if you have any problems viewing the new
design, as we've been unable as yet to test it on a Mac or on PC
browsers other than Internet Explorer.
Thanks again for your continued interest in the site, and rest assured
that there will be new content in this update and not just another
redesign of the same old stuff! In fact, a big part of what we're
doing is aimed at freeing up some server space for new files. Keep
watching for more - we'll let you know first.
Best Wishes,
Bobble Bardsley.
