testers need for dynamic graphics site

[Jemdam.com]

Hi,

I'm making a free version of the million dollar home page (which I'm sure
you all know about). It builds the pictures in real time. I would like to
see what happens as the number of pictures increases to check my code. If
you read this and have a spare 30 seconds can you add an image to the page.
I need to get about 8000 for a good test. Here is the page:

Thanks,

D

D,

Actually, I never heard of it.

And I fell asleep before anything appeared on the screen when I went to
your site.

Sorry,

Seven hundred and fifty seven K of HTML? You must be kidding

This is also good feedback, It has to load a one million pixel image and an
image map to go with it. On my offline version I have made a 50% speed up so
far. Thanks for letting me know as I though this may be a problem.

I know! Thaks for the feedback, I got it down to 200 on my offline version.
It is the image map of 10000 squares which is the worst case for the page. I
cannot think of any other way to make it less. If I used seperate graphics
and HTML links I think it would be worse!

Any ideas?

I think you need to rethink the design...

How about a table (or CSS layout) with 100 rows of 100 HTML links?

Thanks for that, I had no idea that an image submit stored the X and Y
location. That will sort the problem and make it very fast.

Thanks,

How well supported is name.x name.y for submit forms? Does it work on all
browsers?

Thanks,

How well supported is name.x name.y for submit forms?

You're talking about input type=image? I haven't met a graphical
browser for many years which didn't support it. If you've got a
genuine image-based submission, then it's fine.

On the other hand, there's some authors who insist on using type=image
instead of type=submit for no other reason than that it looks pretty -
but then they forget about text-mode browsers. It's more polite, in
that kind of situation, to author with type=submit, and use CSS if
wanting to propose some kind of visual presentation. But type=image
does have an "alt" attribute, similar to the <img...> element, to help
things along with text-mode browsers.

Thanks for the feeback. I know have a very light page. Was over 700k of HTML
and now almost 0. The help here has been great. Hopefully I will get the
rest of the site done this week. Thanks, David http://www.pixelverts.com
