Here the major problem could be summed up in a four letter word - SLOW

The original page used a flash graphic which had to be loaded from a different Internet site. The graphic could not be saved locally and required additional downloads each time the page was visited or refreshed. This loading delay can easily be seen in the BEFORE/AFTER page. After the page loads, press the F5 function key and note the reload time.

The flash graphic was replaced by an animated gif which only needed to be downloaded once

Initial changes were to:

• Clean up the header as was done on the home page.

• The appearance of the page was unpredictable because the fonts were not being controlled. (See browser settings). Style sheets were added to all pages to insure cross browser and cross platform compatibility.
• The room_page template was completely rebuilt to allow the page to be viewed without need for scrolling on a browser with defaults settings [The original template had numerous blank cells which made balancing page spacing very difficult. They were probably leftovers from older design revisions.]
• The enlarged photo pages all required the viewer to scroll down to see the complete image. Pages popped up in the center of the viewing area rather than the upper left corner. With the revised popup pages, pages load in the upper left corner and excessive page header area was reduced to eliminate the need for scrolling when viewed at 800 x 600 resolution.
• On pop-up pages, right-clicks have been blocked to prevent printing or saving the pages. Since Netscape has security problems which allow the viewer to copy and print pages which have been blocked from right-clicks, they will not be able to view the pages and will be encouraged to return and view the pages with Internet Explorer. In the final version a scroller will be added to the status bar to block the address of the links. An example of this feature is demonstrated on the main demo page.
