Helpful advice thank you very much.

I'm well aware, there not errors they were to help me get the preload to work. Each one is an attempt at loading an image, when it's completed loading, and then when it's displayed in the load bar that it's done. View it in IE and there's about 100 lines, with fails and skipping certain images, FF actually shows it the right way.

Over the last few days I've been making a website for a local bridal shop, I decided to use scriptaculous to get some nice effects, and load content from a .txt file.

I know a .txt seems inferior to mySQL but for the price I'm being paid it made sense, and it isn't too difficult for them to edit the text file and upload it as and when they please.

My problem is that IE is a twat. I have a preload function on the index page that loads in the main images and the first few from the gallery, but IE only loads the images after several attempts, which is fine, I've worked around it. But now I'm noticing that the text loaded from the .txt has no line breaks even though I have function to replace \n with <br/>.

I think it's because I'm pulling the text from the file and adding it straight to an invinvisble div, then using the content of the div to perform the function on (that's just the way scriptaculous pulls info), but FF and Safari both do it right so why does IE hate me, and from the looks of it, everyone else too.

Any suggestions for a work around? Quick replies would be best because I'm meeting the client in about 3 hours. The site is currently hosted here.

Sorry I was just trying to give you some constructive criticism, look at your past posts, the subjects are at strange angles and sometimes even go out of the visible frame, thought it might be something to consider in the future when taking a shot.

I went out at 3am two nights ago and took about 200 photographs of the sun rising, hoping to string them together soon and create a little movie of that and similar clips. I did have a video camera with me but there was much more control in the images taken with the camera. I will post here when I have something finished.

Wow, fantastic colour, I've been really getting into purple lateley and this has great vibrancy. Love the hands too, very still image considering the way it must have been taken.

Messing about in the park throwing juggling balls around..

You seem to take photos at all kinds of odd angles, that would have looked much better if you had it parallel to the image edges and everything was symmetrical.

Your images are all very low contrast, try going into photoshop, make a new layer, fill it black, then change the blend mode to overlay and see the difference, if its too strong lower the layer opacity until it looks better.

This thread has certainly changed a lot since it started, too many snap photos now, not much with any thought or planning, shame really.

The larger version has a horrible amount of grain but seems to look okay at this size..

I've heard of something similar, I remember a guy at college telling me about a website that has a database of locations for photography. Places like abandoned warehouses, derelict buildings etc.
It's getting a lot more sunnier here and I'm really tempted to start going out taking photos, but I just don't know what to take them of!

Absolutely stunning, I've still not tried any HDR but the amount of contrast and definition you can get is amazing. Did you merge the images in Photoshop or use other software? I think there's one called Photomatix or by a similar name.

Boring and out of focus, this isn't just a random photo thread, it's for photography as an art form.

I'll try and post some more photos soon, I've got some pictures I want to take of my friend levitating which should be fun. Also, I'll hopefully be buying a compact camera soon which will hopefully encourage me to always carry a camera around.

The newgrounds text is positioned relative to the things around it, yours is randomly placed. Yeah maybe the flash forum would be a better place.

Wow I love the way the text is centred, and the dark out of place black border looks fantastic.

Probably isn't the best example to give us, and this is an art forum, for artists, who don't need art making for them, as their artists and can make it themselves.

I like your first one, it's a good idea but isn't shown that well, the picture just looks slightly blurred, it's the birds or whatever in the top corner that make it looks like a reflection. You should have thrown a stone in the water and got a splash in there or something.

Looks too overexposed to me, everything is too white. And there's not really any point of interest there, still it's better than most of the stuff posted on this last page.

Any comments and critique on my last few, I posted them on page 33 at the bottom. I'm not sure about the one of the first guitarist, I like the clarity of him playing but not sure whether to black out the background or not.

Yeah this page is pretty bleak, and the last two have time stamps on!

I agree, I was focusing on the image instead of the text and went too far with it without including any type. Unfortunately the band erased the text and added their own logo and now the whole thing is let down by some poor photoshopping. They're making a new album in the new year so I'll have a chance to revise their look and get some better artwork out.

It's just having a hard copy of that 1 image, somthing to store the beauty.

I'm just saying that an image doesn't have to be of something beautiful or be well taken to be a great photography, that's more a definition for a good image, or at least to me it is. I consider this a fantastic photograph because of what is says rather than what it looks like.

Either way, I don't think the Berettos photograph is that good, there's some nice lighting but the quality does let it down along with the lack of a point of interest, other than the lighting slightly looking like a forest fire.

Your idiocy continues, also it doesn't look much like a character, it's just a head, a character has characteristics which make them unique.

Then surely when you walk down the street everyone will be gasping in disbelief because everything looks fantastic in real life?

Seems to me that you're in love with HD television.

Thank you, it was a very bright day so I was able to get a great shutter speed, usually I would change my ISO but it really lowers the quality of the image.

Wanna go to a party where people piss on each other?

I'm not a fan of extremely high contrast images but this one just seemed right. In the bottom right you can see where my wide angle converter ruins the picture by making black curves..

I really like this one, would have been nicer if with a plain black background but it's too much hassle to edit it and I think it looks better seeing that it's in the moment and not posed..

Another singer, this time for no head no headache..

I've always liked this thread and it's been going for so long, so every now and again I'm going to post a few images just to try and revive it to it's former glory.

Vocalist for a local band, Oneira..

This was meant to be the misfits skull changed into santa, but sort of looks like salad fingers too, to me at least..

This is a bit more recent, the gig was fantastic but only a few people dressed up. Kind of looks live a poster for a festival to me though..

Long time since I added anything here, been browsing NG but not really posting anything. I've been trying to get into doing music based stuff, gig posters, logos, album art and photography but I'm too lazy to really get anywhere with it. But here's a few posters..

It's allowed, pretty much no restrictions this week.

Kinda sad that there are no restrictions and people still choose to draw a dog.

I'm part nature.

The colours on the creature and background are too different I think, it looks completely apart from the rest of the image, which is a shame because like laserkarl said, the background is fantastic.

I really like the way you draw, and how certain parts of the image are implied, like where the sky and floor meet is a line of inbetween colour, that shows sand blowing across, or dunes in the distance, but it's just an overlap of the two colours.

I'll try and do a COW today but not much has come to mind or hasn't already been done..
