Mobile Home Page not displaying in Opera, but Chrome and Firefox Yes?

I thought you were having lots of xar files? are you going to post them all up?

but time and time again the web guys here ask for the xar file[s] and or a live site because you cannot fix properly what you have not been given to examine first hand

an I know from what i do that no matter how well you prepare, it isn't until the dress rehearsal that the obvious becomes obvious....

No, I'm just publishing the front root set of pages for the index (Home, About Us, Staff, Articles, Issue, World, Contact) since the home page is the one I am having the mobile variant/tablet variant issue with.

All the other pages have tested well and no issues were seen on any of them.

For the .xar, I was going to reduce the front root to just one page, the Home or landing page, since maybe someone can see something I am not. There is something there on that variant I can not see.

Maybe in the code script.

I even reduced the Mobile variant size to keep it small.

So, I am here at Xara Online signed up for my 1 year free hosting. I'm a little unexperienced in this here, so can someone tell me if I can, instead of creating a new subdomain name, just use this web address to test publish too?

I am not going to create a new Magix domain for this here, I have Bluehost waiting.

Not much quick help file info here for this thing.

Certainly GWPriester could answer this one.

you can use the default subdomain they give you

Here is the Opera view again after another rebuild and export to local.

Home (landing page) displays properly, clicking in and out to the other pages and the mobile Home remains.

The 2nd image is the Edge recheck with browser sliding. The mobile Home (landing) displays properly.

Neither Opera or Edge displayed the mobile Home the last round. Now here it is.

The root Home pages (Home, About, Staff, Articles, Issue, Contact) are now up on....

THERE IS NO ARTICLES SUBFOLDER ON THIS SITE AS OF YET. I AM TESTING THE TROUBLE HOME LANDING PAGE ONLY.

Please click around the Menu links if you like to test back and forth. Issue reporting is appreciated.

Thank you. On my laptop and Android mobile phone, the site looks good. Tablet on rotation RCA Viking 10.1 inch Tablet good. On landscape shows Main variant, on rotate to portrait shows Tablet version. Very good. All is working.

I will admit Acorn knew his stuff. I did redesign the Home page a bit, but all looks good.

NOTE:

Looking at the mobile version on the Android phone I discovered a text box that appeared to be protruding across the edge of the mobile Home (landing page) variant canvas.

It appears the issue was solved.

Hi Arch,

Looking good. Just some observations re the Desktop site:

I'd suggest your home page needs to load fast. At present it's full of image links to Articles. This should be the focus of the Articles page, not the Home page IMHO. There are 187 html requests to your server.

Your About page text has been converted to an image, so not available to SEO. Probably accidentally grouped.


Just commentating on the Articles page:

Your images are of a poor quality especially when resized via scale to Fit to Width publish option.

There are a great number of images to load, nearly 100. Try creating one image from numerous images thus reducing the html requests to your server.

Use image names! Combining images makes this less of a task and easier to search for within a browser as well as avoiding Xara creating new image names on each publish update.

Create rectangles with 99% transparency above parts of the image to act as links. Better still if you make these links a named colour 'link' , then you can select them all within the Name gallery.

The long page titles are fairly useless as with several tabs open I only see 'What can you' on the Articles page title tab.

Don't use lines, use rectangles instead. Xara's lines are exported as images.
