My partner's website
My partner, Michael, has been a serious artist since the late 70s, and though he has had a couple shows and sales, he never makes any effort to show his work even to friends. Through the biased eyes of his lover (me), the work appears wonderful, but now that I made a website for him, I'd like to get some other opinions. It will help me figure out what sort of gallery to approach or contest to enter. Thanks.

1. I like them, very nice He's got a distinctive style.
I bet it would pan out to contact some interior decorators, too. :)

(btw, the site looks very nice, but has some coding problems. If viewed in the Opera browser, a blue link underline shows up under your white text link to his "other works", for example. PM me, and I'd be glad to help you out no charge. Of course, I realize you may not need the help and just couldn't wait to share the site. ;) )

2. That's curious
The otherworks link is actually just a white box. He has dozens of minor works (only a few of which are up) that he doesn't really want on the website, but I "hid" them because I wanted one place with a record of all his works. So, do you know is there a different way to have an invisible hot spot?

3. In IE and Firefox, the blue underline doesn't show up.

I'd remove the link altogether and just keep a bookmark of the
other location, since I gather you put it there for yours and
your partner's convenience, correct?

(Looking again, I see that "logo.gif" is [i]also[/i]
linked to otherworks.htm.  Is that how you want it?   I think
most users would mouse over the logo expecting a link anyway,
so the link isn't exactly hidden.)

You could delete the following section of code from within
that white div (box, layer) and the logo would remain a link
to otherworks.htm :

<a
href="http://www.wildeworks.com/otherworks.htm"
()="" (="" m.=""
wilde="" ,="" images=""
intro="" tagline.gif=""
,1);mm_displaystatusmsg(=""
lmmrw@hotmail.com="" );return=""
document.mm_returnvalue=""><font
color="#ffffff" size="2">er
work</font><font
color="#0000ff"></font></a>


I think the problem is you're using a gui html editor that is
producing extraneous code you don't want and can't see.
Let me know exactly what you're going for, and I'll be glad to
help. :)
