| | QUOTE the vast majority of icons, buttons etc on the web still use GIF format so I find it unusual that someone would recommend not using it. In fact the buttons on this very forum are .gif.
Also someone said that with a flash site it can load a little slower, true but still try to keep the load time under 30 seconds, trust me I'm on dialup, I know flash sites look good, but they are very, very, very annoying. Especialy when the flash is used for something that could be done with CSS, like color changing text, on mouseover.
One more tip, try to avoid Java, and PDF both take time to load, and can serously slow down a browser/computer. |

There are some basic ways that i have learned in the past to speed up your site. if you have graphics on your site use a program like photoshop to size them down. and bring the resolution down to about 72. Makes it where the site dont take ages to load up. Keep everything organized in the coding. Messy coding leave trails off to something that isnt there and takes that time to look for it. Orgainze your folders. make sure everything is neat and in order in names. No music its annoying and takes alot of time loading it on the server. NO GAMES. that takes up alot of bandwith on the servers there for slows your site down. I see alot of people asking how to put games on their site. you dont need them they are jsut a waste of space. You need information, small graphics. o and dont use images and backgrounds for site you have a desktop on your computer for that no need for it. Take this from a web designer its annoying rebuilding sites for people that have that crap on there.

can't believe nobody suggested pre loading your second level pages. takes up bandwidth....but if bandwidth isn't a problem, your pages have the capability of popping up instantaneously. speeding up a web pages load time is still very important since i believe most people still use dialup and visitors will just click the X to exit out of a slow loading web page

speeding up a web pages load time is still very important since i believe most people still use dialup and visitors will just click the X to exit out of a slow loading web page If your second level pages are rather big, IMO, it isn't worth it, because your bandwidth would get used rather quickly. I was looking at the first post, and wondering, "Where would it be useful to nest tables?" I've personally never seen a website that nested tables.

Nested Tables are old school Web Design. Tables should not be used for the structure of a page anymore. CSS is the Future of Web Design.

Actually tables are making a slight comeback, especially when displaying data from a MySQL table and what not, but in general design sure there is no need for the use of tables.

general. END gets rids of the form, but NOT its leftovers. This leaves a bunch of memory that will
