Mashallah, it really looks nice. As usual the graphics are awesome! Hmm, from a quick look a little fine tuning needs to be done to the layout. The text cuts into the left border (or is that how it is supposed to be?). Some adjustment to the tables should correct it. Also, the heading "Alphabetized and Categorized Mama List of 1000+ ..." is kinda weird, shouldn't it be centered within the horizontal rules?

Okay, let me look at the other features. The search looks interesting.

Wasalaam.

wlm,

jazakallah khair for the input.. i tried to fix some of the problems.. the major thing is that it is easy to get everything to look great in IE or great in Netscape but not in both.. they implement completley basic things like table widths totally differently!!! IT IS SO ANNOYING... i fix thing for one browser but it doesn't work in another! as the two browsers diverge i don't know how a webmaster is supposed to keep everything non-browser specific...!!

let me know if u find anything else

wsalaam wrt

couldn't you put in some java script code to check what browser is run, ie or netscape and then based on which was used set parameters differently for each. ???

Didn't I ask you how much time and effort you put in to create such a beautiful piece of art (or work)?

Congratulations! Do keep up the good work.

i have a question..
on the main page there is this quote

" He called us to worship God alone... he commanded us to speak the truth, to honor our promises, to be kind to our relations, to be helpful to our neighbors, to cease all forbidden acts, to abstain from bloodshed, to avoid obscenities and false witness... " ( From speech of Jafar to the King of Abyssinia about Muhammad(s) ) <-- is that supposed to be (SAW) ... or muhammad(s)??

slm,

jannah thats an awesome button.. lots of info in a small space :) just one thing though.. its almost 35k.... how many frames is it made of? you might want to consider either reducing the colors, removing frames, or trying other optimizations to make it smaller.. 35k isnt a whole lot, but if people use it to link from their sites, then all those image requests will add up to a lot of bandwidth :)

wlm,
haseeba it's saw but i figured if i put saw ppl who didn't know what that stands for would be even more confused.. maybe i should use the little image??

meraj thanx for the tip! i think 35k is pretty big.. some of those images are in rgb i can index them and make em smaller inshallahh...

slm,

here's a little question..i have two choices with the mamalist script

1. use a script that keeps track of what links people clicked on so each link has a hit rate (we can find out the most popular links) -- but it doesn't let you see the url when you hover over the description of the link


or

2. no hit rate statistics but leave it so ppl can see the url when they hover over links

I prefer option 1!

Ratings are nice.  Keep the ratings.
