RE: Critique Request

Hello,

Thanks for the replies... a couple explanations.

Carol:

>I love it.  Totally.  I love the colors.  I love the layout.
Thanks much.

>ONLY one complaint - when you click on the photos to get to critics area,
>new windows open.
um, oops.  :-)  At first I wasn't sure how I wanted those to work, and I 
thought that I might have a separate pop-up window that would center and 
present a photo gallery, but then I changed my mind and pointed them all to 
the same page.  I may go back and link each one to it's specific photo page 
when I have those online, but either way, I forgot to remove the "target" 
from the anchor tag.  Thanks for mentioning it.

>Since you said you are in the process of bringing over data, I will be
>curious to see what you put in the middle area and how you put it there.
The middle area was tricky...
         ... in getting the text not to appear below or above the boxes on 
the right side, but to wrap before them.
         ... additionally, I had to make sure that things are relatively 
CSS positioned correctly, so as I add more text (some of the pages have 
quite a bit), that the footer will move down with it.

Hopefully, it works out well.  I like the overlapping elements, so 
hopefully when I add all the content, it will appear as intended.  I hope 
to have that finished by tomorrow.

>until I read Carol's note.
In the final version, they may not be.  I think I will go back and link 
them all to their individual show pages in the gallery, but I'm not sure yet.

>I do think you could distinguish your navigation area a little.
I was debating that myself; I'll play with it a little and see what I can 
come up with.

>Is there supposed to be a link from the photo gallery box?
There will be.

A good suggestion, indeed.  Season tickets, at least for the moment, are 
not available and individual tickets cannot be purchased online.  That may 
change, but the ticket sales are only modest even for the best shows (it's 
a small theater), so I'm not sure the possible revenue warrants the charge 
in processing.

As for individual show ticket information:  I intend the boxes that are on 
the right to have different content as required.  As such, when a show is 
being performed, it will be listed there, etc.  I will also list ticket 
information in that space as well as the main content space on the main page.

It still may require it's own page.  I'll have to inquire with the theater 
people to see what they have in place for ticket sales.  Thanks for the 
suggestion.

Anyone looking on a 5.0 browser???

Thanks to both,
