A Dragon in Sheep’s Clothing

Thoughts from a web designer, writer and cat lover.

Poor webpage design

Posted by Heidi on July 31st, 2008 · No Comments

This page, www.hothomesofutah.com/video-archive.html, loads over 1,000 images (when I visited it in IE). Nearly all are the SAME four icons.

It seems they’re trying to use a CSS trick to make images appear without coding the image in HTML. The icon to view a video and the icon to download a video are displayed with a <div> that has a “video button” class applied. That class also has a hover property, which loads a second icon to make it look like the icon fades out a little as you mouse over it.

Somehow I don’t think this is how that CSS trick is supposed to work.

Plus it’s a really long page that could use some anchors or a table of contents.
