[Pro] visual clarity of links

Reading the discussion of page widths led me to look at my site on my retina iPad to see how it worked.

I noticed that the text is sharp as a tack, but the links on the pages (seen at the top and bottom of the home page, but throughout the site) are a bit blurred. Ever so slightly blurred. The home page is www.pantherpeakbindery.com

Does anyone have an idea of what might be causing this? I made the links at the top following the Softpress video, so I think I did them right. The one at the bottom I either selected the box or the text and made it a link, I didn’t do anything special or difficult to it.

Thanks!

And, why didn’t my URL appear as a link?

Should I have done this? <www.pantherpeakbindery.com>

Hate to ask helpful folks to type it out.

Grrr.

You need to make it a fully-qualified URL. http://example.com

The links are using Gif text (a bitmapped image) rather than html text further down the page. Not so noticeable on a desktop, noticeable on a retina iPad.

  1. The links always worked for me, from the first post. I receive posts as emails, perhaps Gmail does the job of sniffing the link out.

  2. Even on my original non-retina iPad the links at the site still appear soft or slightly smudged. My guess is they are graphic text.

Thanks guys!

I’ll try to redo them using HTML text, and replace what seems to be graphic text.

Wish me luck!

Thanks again,

The html boxes are infinitely clearer, an amazing difference.

The problem I’m now having is using html boxes in rollovers. Here’s what I did.

Created a graphic box, which I copied. Applied rollover action to those two boxes, created an html box with text which I then aligned over the other boxes, grouped and locked. I was unable to apply the rollover action when I grouped them first, almost like the rollover action didn’t like the html box.

The problem is that the rollover action doesn’t work when the mouse is over the html box. Seems like they aren’t really combined, even though I went through the motions.

I have the example here: http://www.pantherpeakbindery.com/testpage.html

It wouldn’t really matter with an ipad since people’s fingers are too large and they couldn’t miss, but with the mouse it’s awfully strange to have the rollover effect, then not, then it’s back on…

Thanks for html tip, I’m closing in on keeping up with ever improving screen technology.
