Pizzabox LCs RULE!!!!!!!

But, your design directly violates basic Good Design Principles for WWW pages, and is incompatible with no/low colour browsing, or browsing at 640x480 or less.

Frames are a big no-no, and yours are made incorrectly. here are some corrections:

1) you haven't closed your

<title>

<frameset>

2) your framset is backwards, if you want the welcome at the BOTTOM of the page, and the menu and such above, you should use the following:

<frameset rows="*,15%">
  <frame name="menu" src="menu.html" frameborder="no" bgcolor="#006699">
  <frame name="welcome" src="welcome.html" frameborder="no" bgcolor="#006699">
</frameset>

Contrariwise, if you want the Welcome at the TOP, and menu below:

<frameset rows="15%,*">
  <frame name="menu" src="welcome.html" frameborder="no" bgcolor="#006699">
  <frame name="welcome" src="menu.html" frameborder="no" bgcolor="#006699">
</frameset>

Secondly, why are you "recreating" the main site, and posting it somewhere else? To start, I find it offensive and rude. You are doing nothing to help promote the 68kMLA by doing so, and are in fact causeing potential confusion and dilution of our name. Secondly, you have not asked for permission to use the code that has been created for our website, mostly by FireWireisFast, and others. You are thus in violation of any copyright law applicable to said pages.

I, as one of the designated Web Page designers for the 68k Macintosh Liberation Army, do request and demand that you REMOVE your recreated web site, and CEASE AND DESIST the use of the code created by others, or any derivative work you may have created by useing said code.

If you wish to contribute to the 68kMLA website that is hosted at mac.com, please create and submit content. If you have ideas for said site, please provide them. In short: Play Nice.

I swear we must be brothers or something...

I half wish that the W3C would remove frames from the HTML standard or something. They never, ever seem to work right on more than a third of the browsers.

Anyone wanting to play an active role in the page should probably read the above page.

They are the basic rules I follow. FireWire seems to have the same idea, although I'm not sure if he's read the document. He should too. ;-)

As for the 68kMLA Pirate page that started this thread, take a look at it's code, and tell me how many of the rules from the HTML Hell page it violates.

Interesting...

Frames are a big no-no, and yours are made incorrectly. here are some corrections:

1) you haven't closed your

<title>

tag, nor your

<frameset>

tag. not doing so can cause problems, especially on older browsers that would be being used on 68k Macs.

2) your framset is backwards, if you want the welcome at the BOTTOM of the page, and the menu and such above, you should use the following:

<frameset rows="*,15%">
  <frame name="menu" src="menu.html" frameborder="no" bgcolor="#006699">

I don't know if we really want a "redesigned" mirror of our site...a niche site, perhaps might be okay, though...can you give us some details?

Head to the MLA Web PAge Handbook thread for further information regarding the site and appropriate code, uses, goals, etc.
