Thanks Charles! That's the kind of help we need.

I'm hoping to take advantage of those on the list who know much more

I'm hoping to show it to some headhunters next week, but I'm not sure
if it works on PC browsers, etc. I already know that the opening
frame sound effect (a typewriter of sorts) doesn't work on my version
of Safari, although it does work on Explorer. The mpg commercials and
jpg print ads seem to open on both browsers. I'd appreciate any
feedback in regard to the way it works and anything that doesn't seem
to work. Design comments are okay as well, although my daughter did
it for free, so the price was right :-). I will eventually assign a
new url, buti t's here for now:

Opened fine for me (Firefox 1.5 on Mac OSX) and I got the typing
sound. (Also, it's a 1.5M/896K DSL line) I agree with someone else's
comment that it would be best if it didn't load a new instance of the
browser each time I click a link. Would be better if it just changed
the page and there was a forward/back button somewhere on the page.
All of the links (for example, on the Portfolio Print Gallery) have
the following tag on the end: target="_blank"
That statement is the one that says "don't load the new page in this
window - make another one". If you had those all changed to either
REMOVE the "target" statement part of the link entirely, it should
then load in the same page (but people would have to use their own
"back" buttons on their browsers to return unless each and every page
has some sort of navigation buttons added to it).
As for why the typing sound works for some and not others...? Heck, I
thought I'd be able to see it in the code, but I can't see where/what
is loading the sound. I can see that there is a pause/play button in
the lower left-hand corner after the page loads that lets me replay
the sound, so that's something. I can see that it is a WAV file
(typing.wav). 4 seconds long, 96k in size. Must be a Javascript
thing that is not working for some people - but that is a wild guess.
