I haven't put up the 'casing' part yet, but for the first part, do you think that's enough for a beginner to follow easily?
Thanks for your input!
Is this good enough 'step-by-step'?

i like bigger pictures myself so that you only have to click if a lot of detail is necessary
another thing you might want to think about is that the name "TV-B-Gone" is not in the public domain, it is a trademark owned by mitch. That means you should contact him if you want to use the words to get permission.
for example, I pay mitch a licensing fee (per kit) to use the words 'tv-b-gone' (and also to reimburse him for all the work he has done in creating the kit)

Thanks for the layout hints, and as for the TV-B-Gone name, I don't know why I didn't think about that. I guess since everyone just uses that name here. I'll get those things fixed up. Thanks
I'm VERY confused about that IE bug, I know why it's happening, 100% is 100% of the parent span rather than the immediate span, BUT if you resize your window, it works. Grrrr.
Edit: YAY, JAVASCRIPT!!!! It's fixed!!! If anyone else has a similar problem here's what I did to fix it:

Code: Select all
<script>
function test(){
document.getElementById("bodyMain").style.width = document.getElementById("bodyBGBox").offsetWidth;
}
</script>
</head>
<body onLoad='test()'>

better lighting on the photos. in addition to making them easier to look at, it will buy you more depth of field.
light back ground on the web page is so much easier to read. i guess people want to differentiate themselves from everything else out there, but i tend to spend very little time looking at sites without good contrast in the text sections.

I'm going to go the solid background for the EHP, I don't want to use up another CHiP kit, unless the EHP pictures look a bajillion times better. We'll see
I do also want an entirely new layout, I just feel bad ditching this one that I spent so much time on, but it really does suck both client and server-side.

I just got the final box in the mail today, 10 pounds of AA holders! (Grr, I have to screw in each screw myself )
But I just wanted to be sure I haven't overlooked anything obvious, I have gotten:
Huge box of battery boxes
Huger box of components from Mouser
PCBs
Anti-static bags (that came in an antistatic bag... Go figure)
Bubble mailers (I got too many for these to come in a bubble mailer)
VHS size boxes
Priority mail sticker/insurance forms/International/Customs forms
I think I need printable labels for packages.... But that's all, right?

I personally hate the lightbox trend on web pages. It looks spiffy but it's slow, not usable in all web browsers (especially mobile ones), and not at all user friendly. If, after clicking on an image, I want to go back to the article I can't just hit the Back button in my browser or else it takes me to the page previous to the article. Instead I have to hunt for the Close button on the image itself and fight the urge to use the Back button for every single image after that. Grah.
Just my two cents. :)
