Re: Review my site

Ok I would but your site says I'm missing plugins to view your site...would that be Quicktime or what?

If you please respond, I will consider returning.

Yes. The plug-in is Quicktime.
Thanks Karen

Hi waggers

Being ex Royal Engineers, I spent quite a
while browsing through your well laid out and interesting site.

Some of the coloured text was a little hard to read (in the headers) but I liked the music.......stirring stuff.

Are you still working on your merchandise page, as I just see empty boxes.

You also might want to verify your starred fields on your contact form
as at the moment blank replies can be sent.

Good work for a worthwhile cause............

Re: Review my site

Ahh...twas the music I was missing, funny how in Firefox I had to load plug in to hear but in Explorer it offered the plug in but still played the music without it.

Very good work...navigation and page changes are smooth.

Nice content and layout.

I like it.

Hi David.

Sorry to take so long responding but I've been unable establish a connection to the Forum.

Thanks for your review. Coming from yourself, I consider it as a high compliment.

Yes, the merchandise page is still being finalised as I'm waiting on some images that I want to include. (A picture's worth a 1000 words . . . so they say.)

Several other pages, notably the Nominal Rolls, are also to be finalised.

You mention verifying the starred fields in the form. I don't know how to do this. Can you please advise?

Thanks again for your kind words. They are truly appreciated.

Regards
waggers

Re: Review my site

If you look at the form properties - validation
you should be able to work out what to do.

If you have already done that then
Make sure that your form name doesn't contain any whitespaces. In example, if you have named it "Contact Form" , it should be renamed to "Contact_Form" or "Contactform".

White spaces break the Javascript function that validates the form.

good luck with your website.

Re: Review my site

I'm a real newbie to this forum so what I have to say may not mean much as I am still struggling with my own web site. The only thing that I would caution would be the music playing once loaded. I know this is what you want but I was told that it's not always a good thing. Especially if someone is looking at your site while at work! I too had some nice classical music with mine but took it off for that reason. I couldn't figure out how I could install a button to allow the viewer the option of listening or not.

Hi, and thanks again.

I'd validated the fields but my page name had whitespace. That's now corrected so things should work the way I wanted.

I appreciate all your assistance.

Hi Jim,

Thanks for reviewing my site and your input.
The word 'favourites' is an instance of the spelling differences of the same word in our respective countries. Like 'nite' and 'night', 'tire' and 'tyre', &c.
You could say we're two great countries separated by the same language.

Nevertheless, as it's spellled 'Favorites' in IE your comment is perfectly valid and I'll make the corrections.

Thanks again for your valued input.

Re: Review my site

Hey Waggers,
If you use spell check with Australian, New Zealand or UK English your spelling is correct (as you already pointed out). As your site is mainly aimed at Anzacs I would not change the spelling, just my opinion. I imagine a lot of the blokes who may use the site probably studied at the same time or earlier than me. So keep favourites.
Love the site, I agree about music normally, but Anzac Day is my favourite patriotic day of the year and 'Click go the shears' works for me. Aside from that, choices for websites need to consider the demographic they are aimed at. If you had music on a sales site I would click away immediately. Never did like Muzak (even worse now when you never actually get to speak to a real person on the phone) and we all have different tastes.
One question. Why the heck do you need the paymasters name? Did he miss you out?
