www.ehaengineering.com and review.

This is V1.0, I found a couple spelling mistakes, and there will be some cleaning up to do, but this will be the jest of it. I created all graphics on my own (with corel paint shop pro), such as buttons, banner, etc...(as you probably can tell! LOL!).

I think I'm ready for the big time. hehehe....

New URL posted. Any comments? Good, bad, or just plain ugly? I promise not to take it personally.....though I am a sensitive guy. Wink

Wonderful wonderful wonderful!!!! But if you weren't so sensitive, I would say this: Wink

Consider horizontal page centering (Page Editor > Special Effects tab.

Object obj254 at the bottom of your page has the text 'Ontario' sitting right on the border.

Consider reusing your banner images on each page, by making them "includes" and setting "Unique Includes" off -- Object Editor > Components tab.

Avoid overlapping images too -- the hidden parts still have to be downloaded, needlessly taking up page load time.

Consider using jpg format for your banner and photos -- this will make a much faster loading page. (Project Options > default image format, or Geometry Editor > Options tab for individual images.)

You have something at the bottom of your pages that makes the pages longer than they need to be. The vertical scroll bar takes visitors well beyond the visible end-of-page. It may be an invisible code item (Google Analytics?) -- if so, try setting CSS positioning off for that item.

Just adding a couple of things to what Bruce said. On 'Home' and 'Contact' pages I would change the page Titles from 'index' and 'page5' to something more meaningful. On Home page, just below the copyright, you have a link 'Site Map' pointing to your Home page. If you plan to have a sitemap and point to it I would suggest that you place this link where it can be easily seen.

Ok, this is a weird one, Brucee noticed this:
"You have something at the bottom of your pages that makes the pages longer than they need to be. The vertical scroll bar takes visitors well beyond the visible end-of-page. It may be an invisible code item (Google Analytics?) -- if so, try setting CSS positioning off for that item."

So, I checked it out in SS. Couldn't see anything that would cause this. I did check CSS positioning off for a couple code objects (like google analytics).

Didn't work.

Soooo, I go into the page, and if you go to the very bottom right hand corner, voila! You see a 2nd Professional Engineer's Logo. Problem being, I can't see it in SS to delete it. I tried going into the toolbar and selecting the obect name (obj293) in the drop down,and delete. I thought that would do it, but no.

Any suggestions?

I must have hidden this somehow??? I don't even know how to do that. Smile My 2 1/2 year old daughter was playing on my computer...perhaps she is screwing with me.

Well spotted, that's the offending object. If you place your mouse below the last object you want to be visible, right click and select 'Select All below' option from the menu then with the object chosen you can either move it to a visible position using Quick Editor or delete it.

The phantom of the object continues.

I did as you said klimt, but received an error after clicking on select>>>all below and then DELETE: "no currently selected object"

Some other notes: Clicking on page preview (for IE or the built in preview in SS), I do NOT get the extended page .

In the design workspace, it seems I still have the extended page.

After publishing the site yet again, hoping that the web gods would just fix it for me, sadly, they did not answer my cyber prayer.

I blame Brucee for pointing this out.

What happens if you select obj293 from the drop down menu and move it to a visible position on the workspace using Quick Editor?

There is no obj293 anymore. I attempted to delete it (well, I did, it's not in the drop down anymore, but apparently it is still on the page somewhere...)

Sounds strange, have you cleaned components? Try once again to select all below and see whether you can capture the phantom object.

Yes, it is strange. I can see it in your source code and is positioned 3143.60 ems to the left, and 7157.80 ems down. It has a Z-order of 36 and is the last item added to your page.

As Roma suggested, try going to Edit > Clean Components (You will be surprised how many objects that will find), the republish again.

Hopefully that may clear anything lurking in the background.

Tried that, it says no components need to be cleaned.

Maybe a bug? Is there a way to go into a file on my computer, delete pic, then republish? Or something to the effect?

I am not sure if I understand your question correctly. I thought that you deleted the pic in a project file on your computer. If you post the name of your .ims project I can download it then from your server and see what's going on.

Unfortunately I get error when trying to download .ims file. You might try to rename the file without spaces in the name or you can email the file to me. My email address is in public profile or use contact page from my website.

The index page on your site has now changed and I also see obj293 waaaaaaay down in the bottom right corner -- it wasn't there before.

Klimt's suggestion of Select All Below really should work. If it doesn't work for you, you're not holding your mouth right. Smile

Try using the 'select all below' method, then use your 'up' arrow, to bring the offending object into view?
