PHP Server Queries Useful?
Rambomst:
If you are unsure on how to dynamically write text to an image for the server status have a look at http://forums.interwavestudios.com/topic/530-addon-server-status-image/. Yes it is for HLStats but it will give you an general idea on how to go about it. Also make the page GET statement throw up a "page cannot be found" or something like that or some sort of generic page if someone alters "?page=Home" to go to something that isn't there, it just makes it neater :P
*edit*
Another thing, make it so the nav button images load before you hover over them.

By default, I use Firefox 3.6. Due to some vision issues I have (retinopathy, diabetes related + many surgeries), I set a windows color scheme that for all intents and purposes, makes text monochromatic for me, easier to read for long periods of time. (Classic windows, high contrast #2, modified greatly)
I have firefox ignore fonts and background images, and have it follow Windows color scheme instead of those set by pages.
To see if your page looked 'good' using normal colors, I used IE 6 to attempt to view it. (I don't have IE set to view with forced settings)
IE6 does some oddddd things to it. Perhaps IE6 doesn't understand the javascript / html tags you're doing.
Just a heads up. IE6 is still out there. It doesn't look good.
You may want to test it in other browsers to see how it looks.

- Thanks for the link, that will be very helpful.
- As for using javascript to preload the tab already a on my scratch paper of todos :P
- That's a great idea with the Get page thing. I'll probably just make it go back to the home page.

- Awh, I didn't even try IE 6, did 7 and 8. Thanks for the heads-up.
::EDIT:: Now that I take a look in IE again, all the versions mess it up.

Well, I tried all the tricks I know to try and fix the IE issue, but I can't get it to work without a major work over, so I guess IE is out of the question unless Y'all can figure something out.
