Banner shows up sometimes and sometimes it doesn't

rouxster

I'm very new to SM, and I LOVE IT so far. It is exactly what I was looking for. I just canceled my GoDaddy hosting account and I plan on moving my domain over to here. I did most of what I want to do in 1 day rather than the 3 weeks I have been working on a custom site on my own (and wasn't even close to finishing). A little more money, but well worth it.

Now to my question. When a new PC goes to my site, http://ryanroux.smugmug.com, the banner doesn't show up the first time. Sometimes, the browser has to be closed and reopened for it to show up. This happens in both IE and Firefox. any ideas?

Welcome to Dgrin <img src="https://us.v-cdn.net/6029383/emoji/wave.gif&quot; border="0" alt="" >

It's a png so you'll need the filter for IE.
Follow this format.

[U][B]The header code[/B][/U] (not head tag box) Clickable banner.

[B]<[/B]div id="my_banner">
[B]<[/B]a href="http://[COLOR=red]nickname.smugmug.com[/COLOR]">
[B]<[/B]img src="/img/spacer.gif" width="[COLOR=red]750[/COLOR]" height="[COLOR=red]100[/COLOR]" border="0" alt="">

[/URL]


[U][B]Supporting  CSS to define image and format banner using a transparent png[/B][/U]

#my_banner {
   width: [COLOR=red]750[/COLOR]px;
   height: [COLOR=red]100[/COLOR]px;
   margin: 0 auto;
   background: url([COLOR=red]/photos/xxxxxxxx_xxxxx-O.png[/COLOR]) no-repeat;
  _background: none;
  _filter:progid[B]:[/B]DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader (enabled=true,
   sizingmethod=image, src='/[COLOR=red]photos/xxxxxxxx_xxxxx-O.png[/COLOR]');
}

Make the spacer gif in the header html the same size as your banner, it's the 
clickable area. Be sure to enter in the actual size of the banner photo.

Thanks. I will test over the next couple of days. I have one more question. I am using the flash slideshow on my home page. If a viewer does not have flash installed on their PC, what will happen? I know it is rare now for a PC not to have flash, but it is possible. The reason I'm asking is because my girlfriend tried to pull up the site today in her office and she wasn't seeing the slideshow or the banner. The banner is fixed now hopefully, and the only reason I was thinking she wasn't seeing the slideshow was because she didn't have flash. What do you think?

Not much you can do if they don't have flash. Except you can use one of
your photos for the splash and they will never know the difference.
Change this to one of your photos.

splash: 'http://www.smugmug.com/img/ria/ShizamSlides/smugmug_black.png',</pre&gt;
