That sign is needed to determine what should be the protocol (eg. http) and what should be the domain, path and file. http://www.w3schools.com/js/default.asphttp - the used protocol, this protocol is used for default browsing:// - separatorwww - server name or in this case just the world wide web. - separatorw3schools - domain name. - separatorcom - domain extension, eg: com, nl, net, org, du, co.uk, tk/js - path to the document at the server's hard drive/ - separatordefault.asp - file you requested

Are you using the correct XHTML list? such as:

<ul>  <li>Coffee</li>  <li>Tea    <ul>      <li>Black tea</li>      <li>Green tea</li>    </ul>  </li>  <li>Milk</li></ul>

Hello.I have had this argument many times with people and I will say it again; I started with tables and found people were just plain having a go at me due to the browser incompatibility as I was an IE6 user at the time. Anyway I looked into web standards and learned that tables were used for tabular Data and layouts aren't tabular data so I looked into XHTML and CSS I had like a 12 image site which I cut into 4 images due to better styling with CSS. This reduced loading time dramtically and I switched to Firefox and found my site looked better with CSS than tables and also loaded faster.I can guarentee most people would rather have a few DIVS than a crapload of tables as the code is much more efficient and clean code which is easier to edit. I would much rather have:

body{font-family: tahoma;}

In an external stylesheet than having a crapload of font tags in HTML like

<font color="blue"></font>

Because that is just plain annoying and cramps up your source code while you could have 6000 different fonts and not cramp up your index source file.

Thanks for the great sites Force. and also I have seen your site before it's pretty slick. I have bought a huge video DVD off Ebay I just have to wait for delivery =]

I'd also like to remind you that flash has awsome help files and all you have to do is access them with the F1 button. I use them all the time now that I found out about them.

Thanks alot for replying. And if I came across as hating Firefox, I think its god's gift to mankind.Although, maybe I was taught differently from you, but here is my take on the problems (Thanks for listing them by the way!)-The "- usually, they act as glue in case you have properties that have a space in them. The same effect will happen with or without them, even on firefox.-The miss arranged tags- Thanks! I didn't see those... and I can usually spot them in my first trouble shooting session.-The document declaration- I really don't think that declaring the document type would have any effect on the links, but anything is worth a try.I just want to thank you for replying to quickly. I will test the site given the help you have taken the time to present to me. Thanks.

Hello.Thanks for your input and i'll have a look at flash kit, and the symbol is GPB it's English Pound.ThanksDan Williamson

Hello.I am currently very interested in getting into Flash and I have read and watched the tutorials on W3Schools and taken part in them, I have had some decent outcomes and I would like to extend my knowledge but I don't know where to go for the next steps.I don't really have a budget because I am only a student but I would be able to get upto £25 on my paypal. I would like Video Tutorials really but I wouldn't mind books or even online reading tutorials. I look forward to your input and hope to become a decent flash animator.Thanks,Dan Williamson

G'dayMy name is Dan Williamson and I am a 14 year old student (young I know) and I am pretty good at XHTML & CSS which I always validate strict, I am currently getting interested in Flash and Actionscript.I hope to become a cool member of W3Schools Forums =]ThanksDan Williamson
