Mac and PC??

[loco80]

I created a website with my Mac and published it, but PC users can't get into the site. Does anyone know what the problem is and how to fix it?? Thanks.

Link? Details?
Are you linking to an html page, an swf?

[loco80]

Here's the link to the website.

[url]http://www.natashamillerweb.com[/url]

People say that when they click enter, it opens the pop-up window, but they can't see any contents...

PC
flashplayer 7
Broadband (512Kbps)

Internet Explorer6: Image on the first page didn't load (after a 2 minutes I
gave-up).

Netscape 7: all loads up fine


In the HTML source below you refer to two different .swf files

In the first line you refer to value="nasdaq.swf" and in the embed tag you
refer to index.swf.....

hehe - bet you kick yourself over that one :)

<param name="movie" value="nasdaq.swf">
<embed src="index.swf" name="index"..............

Nice site btw - although I'd speed the frame rate up a little and slow down
the transitions so cut out some of the jerkiness/flicker.

Pop-up loaded fine, and the loading bar appeared. Took way too long to load
the site, so I gave up. Didn't see anything except the loading bar.

Nice site, works good on my mac os10.3 in IE, although it took too long to
load, which is saying something on my computer! One thing, I prefer to have
some sort of center piece in the scroll bar, that way I can drag it and read
smoothly. Having to keep clicking on the down arrow is really annoying!

Curious how you got the flash screen to center above browser window when you
enter--I have been trying to figure this out for my site, would appreciate your
advise.

I tried the site on my pc, IE, I think the white box is only there because the thing is still loading. It doesn't have anything to display yet. How big is this file?

<PARAM name="movie" value="nasdaq.swf">
<EMBED src="index.swf" name="index"

here is your problem, best is too both use the index.swf :')

some tips:
-why use a pop-up? IF you do use a pop-up than mention this very clear on
your site that when someone clicks here a pop-up will appear. most people
have popup killers.... (personaly, i don"t like pop-ups. for technical and
estetic reasons)
absolute centering of your swf on a nice background gives you more
possebiletys to make your web-site looks very nice.
a pop-up is just some masking up for not being able to implement your swf in
a nice page

- why use a flash movie to fire up the pop-up? why not some javascript?
good practise is NOT to use any flash elements on your first page that is
needed to start (enter) your site. first tell them what's the best way to
vieuw your site (resolutions, plugins etc ...) then use some flash. (any
browser can load an image, not any browser have flash installed)

Thanks.

Thank you so much everyone! I'm going to fix it now...

I used a component to center the pop-up window, because I don't know anything about JavaScript...I'm just a beginner for web design stuff.
