The old style is clearer about what's what and whose is whose.

The new style has excellent looking pictures, but they sort of run into each other.

If you could some how meet them both half way I think I'd prefer that. Sort of have the clarity of the original with the image quality of the new design, that'd be my vote.


And by the way, welcome home. It's good to have you back [:-)]



PS. I hope you don't mind my imposing, but here's a suggestion that might bridge the gap and give the best of both worlds

I like the new one better, but I would make it so the pics are a different color than the background, all white looks kind of boring imo.

I think with a bit of a color change it would be cool. But I actually like them both, either one would be just fine in my book.

i was thinking about that but then u can see the difference of the 2 sides. which i didnt want.
maybe i can just adjust the pics a bit to settle that.
ill try something when i get home.

ok hows that....

I like the new style better. It looks more professional.
However the images for the new style are much lower quality and some even do not show the entire axle. The old pictures are more useful.
It is nice that on the new style you can copy and paste the names of the autors and the parts - this was impossible on the old style.

Agree with what was posted. Older style has the better pics while the new has the better layout. White pictures make it run together, use the colored ones and maybe shrink the text a tad to make them bigger.

Thats just my 2 cents though :)

well i got new pics up.. appearently i messed up real bad the first time round.. lol. but i dont think itll be done for quite awhile. im having cross-browser isuues.
in NS/mozilla, the tables look great. pics arnt right though.
in IE pics are awesome, but tables are way outta wack.

gotta figure something out here.

NS will control the image width using css, IE will not. If you set the image width in the image tag, you'll get better results (I mean, more consistent)


Also, there's a javascript browser issue too.

This

PositionX = 200;
PositionY = 200;

would do better as

PositionX = 50;
PositionY = 50;

And this

defaultWidth = 1200;
defaultHeight = 1200;

would do better as this

defaultWidth = 200;
defaultHeight = 200;

It's easy to switch back, or tweak, if you don't like the results.

well i found out thats only true to a point. NS will control ALL aspects of the IMG tag from the css. IE doesnt support percentages. if its a fixed size from css, IE will read and set it.
