Title: Dream Arcades new line of arcade parts
Post by: DreamArcades on October 01, 2004, 06:36:38 pm

Dream Arcades has expanded our line of arcade parts and accessories. We have re-done our website and lowered our shipping prices. We are so confident that we have the lowest prices we even list our competitor

Can you check again? We check all our pages with Firefox. The page loads fine for me. It could be that the page just loaded slow? With Firefox if the page loads slow you will see overlapping test until it finished. It's just a Firefox bug.

Please double check and let me know if you still have the same issue.
Thanks for the fyi,
Mike

This may be a nit-picky thing, but you really should format your site to fit on a 800x600 res screen. Having to scroll back and forth to look at stuff really sucks. Not everyone has a monitor that can display 1024x768.

Still has overlapping text but I think I know what the problem is.  At any resolution above 1024x768 the text overlaps.  I'm on an Inspiron 8600 and my resolution is set at 1680x1050 so that's probably what's causing it for me.

I ordered my controls from Dream Arcades on Ebay.  They had the best prices and I'm happy with what I got for the price.  They also shipped very fast.  I would recommend them to anyone for their service.

I get the same text problem at 1280x1024.

Dawayne:  reckon it depends on your monitor.  I run my 21" Dell (Trinitron) monitor at 1280x1024 comfortably.  The picture is actually still clear at 1800x1440, but the default text size on everything is too small to read.  My other system with a 15" dumpster special is unusalbe over 1024x768, everything gets all fuzzy.

nope I see the actual problem now....

You have a line in your HTML code on line #119 as seen from the web "view source" option in IE.  The line states an absolute position on the screen.  This is the line:

   <div style="position: absolute; top: 200; left: 208; width: 759; height: 19">

  You want to either remove that line within your Stylesheet, OR you can change it to

<div style = "position:relative">  

and that will fix your problem right away :-)  You usually want to stay away from absolute positions, as not everyone uses the same resolution that you're development machine is using.

  Please don't take my post the wrong way,you have a great website and I just wanted to help out as I'm kinda bored on a Sunday afternoon with the rest of the familly taking a nap :-)
