It doesn't matter if you do all the error checking in the world, or if you have the most beautiful graphics, if your site or application design isn't usable, it's not going to do well. Get input and advice on usability and user interface issues here.

I just thought I'd show off my ripoff of Dell's system pages and see what y'all think.

Here's the old one... I think the new one is much more organized and easier to read. What do you guys think?

EDIT: Oh and can you guys check to see that the link under "Motherboard" that says details works correctly... it should show more about that motherboard's onboard components.

I like the new one (http://sierra-tech.com/computers.php). Motherboard details links works on Firefox 1.5.0.1, IE 6.0 and Opera 8.5 at least with Javascript enabled.

I like the new one. The "details" link works here of FF1.5. Would be nice if clicking the details link again closed the space.

The new one is much nicer than the old one (though the ultra power system is a little overpriced imo ;))

The motherboard link "worked" fine for me on ff 1.5.0.1 on Win2k Pro however it did cause a javascript error, though it did show the motherboard information perfectly.

Code: Select all

Error: syntax error
Source File: javascript:void();
Line: 1, Column: 5
Source Code:
void();
Also, you may want to fix the microsoft logo at the top left of the page, it just says microsoft in the middle of a sea of white, doesn't flow well with the rest of the design.


Edit:

Looked at your code... change

Code: Select all

<a href="javascript:void();" onclick="toggleBox('demodiv1',1);">Details...</a>
to

Code: Select all

<a href="#" onclick="toggleBox('demodiv1',1);return false;">Details...</a>
Unless there is a better way of preventing a link from activating when used only for it's onclick event.

They're all overpriced.
