 Seeking reviews/suggestions on my first website

Hello, Im new to the forum and have been working on my first-ever website featuring my photos of my New Zealand adventure last year.
It is located at: http://www.photostuff.org
Eventually, it will also have photos of my East Africa and Israeli adventures as well. It is a work in progress of course, but I think I am ready to submit it to you for review. It will be greatly appreciated if someone takes the time to give me their opinion and/or suggestions on how to improve my website. Thank you very much!!
---Terry

#1 Table width = 800 means bottom scrollbar if browser is set for 800 wide. (e.g. client has 800 x 600 screen res). 740 is the safe value for all browsers to stop this happening.

#2 I would edit the photo display JavaScript to automatically replace the image in the opened window - having to keep closing it is annoying.

#3 Put a space after Africa and Israel. e.g. Africa (future) rather than Africa(future).

Other than the above then I say - well done, nice effort.

Thanks for your input bod. I reduced the table width which eliminated the horizontal scroll bar in the couple browsers I have using 800 X 600 resolution. I also added the space in your #3 suggestion. As for #2 I have been seeking an improved method for image viewing. Im a novice at javascripting but Im in the process of learning. I would like to automatically replace the image. Thats a great idea. I also want to include a caption in the viewing window. The fact that all the large images are opened from the one thumbnail window makes the changes slightly more complicated, but eventually I will find a way. I want to keep the one thumbnail concept to improve page loading and save space though. Thanks again. ---Terry

A popup window script ...

<script LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!--
/////////////////////////
// Get browser details //
/////////////////////////
var bAgent = navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase();

var poppup;
//////////////////////////
// Window close routine //
//////////////////////////
function closeWin() {
 if (poppup) {
  poppup.close();
 }
 return;
}
///////////////////////////
// Generic window opener //
///////////////////////////
function popupwin(url,wname,scroll,wid,hite) {
 var scrolling = ((scroll) ? "scrollbars," : "");
 if (!poppup || poppup.closed) {
  poppup = window.open(url, wname, scrolling +",width="+wid+",height="+hite+",top=20,left=20");
  if (!poppup.opener) {
   poppup.opener = self;
  }
  if (bAgent.indexOf("msie 4") == -1) {
   poppup.focus();
  }
 } else {
  window.poppup.location.href = url;
  if (bAgent.indexOf("msie 4") == -1) {
   poppup.focus();
  }
 }
 return;
}
//-->
</script>

A means of using this script ...

<a href='javascript:popupwin("filename.htm","poppup",true,640,480);'>Put link text/thumbnail here</a>

:-)

bod,
Thanks very much for the script. I will take a better look at it and test it out when I wake up later. Its 6 AM now. I will let you know how it works. Have a great day.
