This is my Intro to Electrical Engineering (EE1105) course website. We are REQUIRED to view this site to get our labs and homework. So I HAVE to look at this crap at least once a week... http://www-ee.uta.edu/online/kenarangui/F2004/ee1105/index.htm If that doesn't give you a boost of confidence, I don't know what will.
Well, if that didn't just shake my confidence in UTA... I have no idea what will. I dearly think you need to ask the webdesigner what the hell was the idea with the different speed bouncing, it boggles the mind. EDIT: That background is pro though, ^_^
I thought they shot people which made websites like that... maybe it was one of my "dreams of utopia". Oh, well
Could be worse: <meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft FrontPage 5.0"> which means they upgraded from adobe pagemill 1.0.... (although it is for my old high school, not a college: HHS)
"All children can learn" "Not all webdesigners can" Do you guys think I should offer to build a decent site for my instructor? Possible trying to con him into giving me As on my assignments?
Yeah you right thats awfull. wish they would remove scrolling marquees from the browsers completly. Who ever though of them needs shooting, "hmm well we have been told to make somthing to catch the eye and i have this plan to have some mooving, no scrolling text, which no one can read."
Definitely. Great way to get into their good books and show a little something extra than the syllabus. Unless they think the site is awesome and take offense...
Like all things marquees have just been used for the wrong thing at the wong times. They were designed for live feeds (just like the one in times square that goes around the building) but people use and abuse them, make them impossible to read and just abuse them. The good things about them is that can convey a lot of information in one line height of text. Don't flame me for defending the marquee, every tool has its right place... just not in 99% of this controls use!
Where are the <blink> tags? They could make that site a lot worse by adding a few of those! If they did add a few, I'd probably have to stab my eyes out with the end of Biro.
