Site review for future effects-alive.com

[DooM_MonkeY]

Ok.... this site I have put an embarressing amount of time in... for the effects and everything, I have the colors right, it's just when I try to center it, or format it, the styling gets all funky. And whenever I try to do a list, it doesnt show up. anyway I dont really want a critique, it would be nice, but what im looking for is the reason why when i center it, the background goes all weird (sorry, 13 yr old logic). But i also want some suggestions on my login function... I just did it because i have never seen it done. And now, without further ado! my site! lol...

My browser (Firefox/Mozilla) shows a cluster of light blue lines and text in the top left corner, and a very large frame creating a vertical scrollbar, the scrolling of which reveals nothing but more of your background...

I don't know why you'd be floating your input boxes, as it seems you're trying to get them to display side-by-side anyway (and you wouldn't have to float them for that). As for the other errors, check this out:

It works in IE6, but I'd imagine that's what you wrote it in ;) www.getfirefox.com - Try that, maybe?

G'luck :)

ok, but the only reason I was floating the inputs is because i wanted semi-transparent background but a fully opaque font... otherwise I would be glad to use the normal way

thnx for the suggestion by the way

i can barely read the text because the font color.Also, i would put the login button on the right side,but thats just a compulsive thing about me.I like the backround alot though.

[DooM_MonkeY]

to me... the login button IS on the right.. now that is weird... but the text is crystal clear to me also... wat is ur op

[Scrowler]

firefox loads a webpage which doesn't attract the viewers attention at all, i didn't stop to look, which isn't good. it means that there is nothing that grabs their attention and keeps them reading, i didn't even see any text, and if it was there, it had a bad font colour.

hmm... this is what it looks like to me:

Maybe unrelated to the issues at hand -then again, maybe not, I strongly recommend marking up this page properly with html, head and title elements, and preferably a doctype declaration, too.
Although the page is showing up (at least in IE6.0/Win2000), it's never a good idea to make a browser guess what it has to do.

Furthermore, the rest of your markup is really poor; besides the form and input elements, I see only line breaks and spans, and character entities to imitate a list.
Try using div elements for page sections (but don't overuse them!), p elements for paragraphs of text and ul and li elements for lists; you'll get the bullets for free!

lol i guess the "well made webpages" kinda goes out the window then.. hm nevermind I'll start from scratch, I didn't like it anyway
