Compare two different UI's for me
I was asked to rebuild this page with a new screen...
http://laresdental.com/products/yag/plat_touch.asp
And this was what I did (It is a really crappy site, with really crappy proprietary code... I didn't build it, so no nagging at me about it)
http://laresdental.com/products/yag/plat_touch.over.asp
My question is this... do you like the method in the first one where the text displays to the sides of the image, or do you like the method I did on the second one where the box just pops up to the direct right of whatever you're hovering over?
I'm not asking for your guys' opinions about any other aspect of the page... because the rest of the site is hideously unusable... I am just wondering about whether you like the popups to pop up on the sides of the image or on the image... which method is better?

I don't like either honestly. The first one's page is wide, real wide -- over 1000 pixels wide for the images alone -- and it's image based. The second at least uses text so it has a snowballs chance of being read by a screen reader (although both pages are HORRIBLE in a screen reader.) The images in the second feel more washed out however. I can understand and appreciate the need to reduce their download weight, but there's some quality that seems to have been lost too.
thanks feyd, but...
EDIT: that sounds pretty ungrateful... thanks feyd. I appreciate your input. I just can't really do anything about it.
I agree with you completely. The site is a nightmare. We've been trying to get them to redesign it for a while. I can only spend so much time on this page, and fixing problems like that would take longer than I have.I'm not asking for your guys' opinions about any other aspect of the page
