HELP! Does this work?

EDIT: THANK YOU EVERYONE! I have now got a working mockup. Disregard request below...


Guinea pigs needed to test out a webpage layout in different browsers and operating systems!

Please to click on This Dummy Webpage and tell me if it looks right.


1. The ornamental frame should hug the page as you resize the window.

2. The text blocks shouldn't overlap each other or the graphics. (It's okay if the title block in white has some text chopped off the bottom.)

3. The graphics shouldn't take too long to load in. (I may program them to pre-load, but I've compressed them to fairly dainty file sizes.)


I'm still not quite proficient in CSS positioning, so after trying desperately to use CSS to replicate my ancient Medieval Scroll Trick done with tables, I committed the cardinal sin of mixing tables and CSS. But at least this one doesn't use frames, which are even more verboten. The old AuronLu Shrine does.

Well, it works ok on mozilla firefox and a dual widescreen setup.

Seems to work for me. I'm on a Mac running OS 10.4, and my browser is Camino.

My very assy work computer has loaded everything fine EXCEPT:

- the tiny line of text links at the top (I assume they are links? "Aulu Community LJ .. Fanfiction .. Adult fanfic .. " that block of text). That bit of text overlaps the border on the pale spot of the page by a little bit.

- Right before the test starts in the window, there is a bit of a gap. Here, I'm taking a screencap for you because it's too hard to describe: http://pics.livejournal.com/first_seventhe/pic/000203tq

I am, apparently, in IE6.0. I don't know whether you want to cater this low -- it's a shit work computer. Obviously no one looks at fanfiction while at work, right? ;)

WinXP/Firefox 3.3, widescreen 1024x768. The ornamental frame is not resizing when I resize the window, and for some reason, even when I have maxed browser window, I'm seeing a horizontal scroll bar at the bottom. I can screencap if you need.

I just wanted to say it looks amazing and I love the graphisc and the colors and everything! I'm seeing some of the same things as lassarina so you've got that covered.
