I went to your site with IE and Chrome browser and they both loaded in about the same time. My suggestion is to clear your browser cache and then try it if it is loading slow for you. IE may have cached a bunch of stuff that you may not have on your page anymore and is having to sift thru it all.

Do this in this order:
Add a style called #navbar ul li a:visited
Add a style called #navbar ul li a:hover
Add a style called #navbar ul li a:active

Style them the way you want, with the color you want for the font, the background, and anything else.

Now upload the css style sheet to your server.
Go to your page and you should see the link change according to what you styled them with

You will not see the changes until you preview them in a browser. Make sure you refresh the browser cache by pressing F5. You may even have to clear the cache in the browser itself.

Thanks for the info.

Being new to EW I think I will take your advice about the difficulty in maintaining the suggested site and will stick to something easier to maintain.

Thanks again

Hi all,

I'm working on this new site (still in development).

I'm still trying to get the active tab effect but so far have not been able to understand the tutorials (a bit slow).

One of my main issues with this site is that the pages transitions very "ugly" in IE. Is this supposed to happen? IE just loads some of the content slow(though I don't have much at all right now). Firefox doesn't have this issue, the transitions are flawless, very smooth.

Please advise/comment!

Thanks

Thanks but that link is just way beyond my head.

I've tried many different tutorials, none of them seem to be working right or maybe I'm just not understanding it correctly.

I am trying to set up a page that will allow the width of the page to adjust to the width of the viewer's screen.

For example, the content section will stay at 80 percent of the available width regardless if the screen resolution is 640x480 or 1024x768.

I have seen that some of the templates available with Expression Web seem to do this but I can't see where the coding id to do it.

Any suggestions?

Rick

It would be in the css stylesheet. The divs would have id's and then that id would be in the css stylesheet with a # before it. They most likely have percentages in the styles. Without the html and css it is hard to tell you anymore than this. I will tell you that fluid designs like what you are talking about are much harder to build and maintain, and they do not always render exactly from browser to browser.
