TIPS FOR
VIEWING
THE WWW.CHRISTMASTRADITIONS.COM
For
your maximum viewing pleasure.
Recommended
Browsers:
This site
has been optimized for Netscape versions 3 & 4 and Internet
Explorer version 4. This site has been produced using a Macintosh,
but all efforts have been made to make sure the pages on this site
will display properly on both Macintosh and PC computers using one of
these browsers.
America
Online's web browser in AOL's software package, including version
4.0, is not recommended at this time due to many display
inconsistencies. We try our best to deal with these and check every
page we create in AOL's web browser, both Mac and PC versions, and
optimize the pages as best as possible.
Note to
AOL Web browser users:
If you
notice distorted lines running horizontally through any images or
"fuzzy" images on this site, or other sites, try the
following:
- From
the selections on the menu bar at the top, find the "Preferences"
menu choice.
- There
should be an icon or folder that says "WWW" or "Web Graphics"
select this.
- There
is a box labeled "Use compressed graphics." Make sure this box in
UNCHECKED so compressed graphics are not used. This should solve
the distorted image problem.
- It may
not fix the images that already suffer the problem, but will stop
any subsequent occurrences. Actually, the files will eventually
fix themselves when the distorted images are cleared out of the
disk cache and reloaded with clean ones.
- Using
the "Reload" or "Refresh" button from the browser may help fix the
distorted pictures after the above change has been made. Try
it.
Display
Resolution and Monitor Size:
Every
attempt has been made to squeeze every page down to accommodate
monitor sizes down to 14" (640 X 480 pixel display). But there are a
few pages that contain many large images and text that are impossible
to fit into this size display. These pages are very few and all the
information can be seen in other ways and views, so nothing is lost
to those with smaller monitors. But for the few instances we
recommend a minimum of 832 X 624 pixel display area (most 15" and
larger monitors, although some 14" monitors will display this
resolution but the information may look VERY small). Also, many of
the ornaments on this site are very colorful, along with some of the
graphics too, so we recommend at least a 16bit (thousands of colors)
color depth.
Fonts:
The pages
on this site call for either COMIC SANS MS and/or HELVETICA. We
recommend that you have one or both of these in your fonts folder.
Once again, all attempts are made to make sure other standard fonts
will function properly, but default fonts and sizes can vary from one
computer to the next. If you do not have either of these fonts and
the text seems strange in form or size, check your default font style
and size in your web browser and adjust them as necessary for best
results.
Java:
Java
applets and scripts are not used in any way on this site currently.
Too many inconsistencies between Netscape, Internet Explorer and AOL
make it too unreliable and therefore not used here.
We're
Not Perfekt!
We
definitely make mistakes too! if something doesn't seem to look
right, feel free to let us know. Once in a while we'll put up a page
with a thumbnail graphic linked to the wrong picture or a link to
another page that comes up with the dreaded "error 404 page or file
not found." Let us know, we'll fix it, pretty quick sometimes
too.
enjoy!
