I have now resolved the issue for the #nav. By adding {clear: both;} command, I have managed to get the navigation bar to display across the screen on both Firefox and Opera. I'm now a happy chappy Thanks again for you guys who helped me in this thread

Ok, the {float: clear;} command has resolved the issue with my <h3> element. The {background-image: url(menu.gif);} command unfortunately still does not display the image for the #nav.

Hi Ste, thanks for your advice and quick reply. I'll have a go and see what happens

Ok this is a different display issue, but still in relation to my navigation bar. I have gone a way from using the <ul> rule and gone for standard <a> elements on their own, for my navigation bar (#nav)This morning I downloaded Opera9.7 and Firefox2, as I wanted to see how my page displayed through these browsers. I admit I designed my page using IE6 as a guide (not sure if that is the best method when designing a web page). Everything is more-or-less fine in IE6 and with the page displaying how I would like it to. However when the page is displayed in Firefox2 and Opera9.7, it seems my one CSS rule for a url background image does not display. Am I correct in thinking that background: url(pic.gif) CSS rule does not work in Firefox and Opera? #nav {vertical-align: top; height: 20px; background: url(menu.gif); } #nav a{ float: right; font-family: arial, sans serif; font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; padding: 2px 25px 2px;} h3{font-weight: bolder; color:#FF0000; padding: 3% 0% 0% 4%; width: 60%;}Another display issue on Firefox 2 and Opera9.7 is that my simple <h3> element which should be displayed below my navigation bar and on the left side of the page (as it does in IE6), is now positioned on the same line, to the left of my navigation bar. How can I seperate the above #nav from my <h3> element? The <h3> element is the only element which is not in a <div>. Could this be a factor?All help is greatly appreciated

Hi Jlhaslip!Thanks for the reply and advice. I gave it a go, but it hasn't displayed how I would have wanted it to, so I'm now modifying the bar so it does not need to go all the way across. Thanks for your help once again though, it was greatly appreciated

Hi guys and gals.I am setting up a home page with a navigational bar running just underneath my header. It's done in the form of a list, for a screen resolution of '1024x768' using CSS below:#nav li{background: url(menu.gif); list-style: none; font-family: myriad pro, tahoma, arial; font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; float: left;} #nav li a{text-decoration: none; padding: 11px 54px 4px; display: block; float: left;}I'm having a problem with setting it up properly, although currently I do have the bar reaching both sides of the screen. I want to know if it's possible to lock the length of the bar into position, so it does not collapse into pieces when in a smaller screen. I'm not sure if this is possible. However if anyone has better ways of setting up a navigation bar please-please-please let me know :)Any help you guys can give is greatly appreciated

Somehow my website with servage has nothing on it now, so I'm clear to go - strange! I shall start uploading soon woo-hoo!! :)Ok I have finally resolved the ftp issue. My Mcafee is 2005 version and it just had to be that which was causing the issue. Like I said before I tried everything the Mcafee technicians asked, but nothing mad any real difference. I chose to download the new version of Mcafee and it seems everything is working well now. Thanks guys for your help and advice it was all greatly appreciated

I uploaded an index.html file to my website domain and it does not appear. Instead it is some generic search engine thingy. Guys take a look for yourself:http://www.honeyz.com/index.htmlI just can't understand if that domain was available, how it is possible for something else to be already on there.

Servage.net is the company I bought the domain through and who are hosting the domain. Should I just cut my losses and go with someone else?

I only know some html and basic CSS and I admit I do not have the pages finalised yet, but as I've said before I have some automated search enine on a domain name I bought recently. I sent a message to my hosting company and today I got a reply message from them regarding the issue. The hosting company have replied saying that I need to get a script writer to resolve the issue and say they dont get involved in editing of the site. All I want to do is put a few basic HTML web pages up online, using a domain name I bought through them. This is just something that has stumped me somewhat and I dont know what to do next. Do I buy another domain name and hope I will have a blank canvas, which requires no script writer? Is it common to buy a domain name and have some generic search engine etc already on it? Wow, I guess I just really don't know what to do now

Hi ste,I've realised that perhaps I'm making errors with CSS and html. Can you put a CSS command inside an element. Example of what I mean is below:<p align="center" style="border-color:#990066" style="background-color:#990066"> .....................</p>Like I said earlier, in Dreamweaver it doesn't register as being incorrect.

Thanks mate for the ftp suggestion. I'll take a look at it soon.

Hello again everyone. Zaniac has another issue lol I try to upload my file through the standard web browser (Internet Explorer) and I think it is successful. However when I try to view the page, the screen remains white and the green loading bar at the bottom right of the screen reaches the maximum level only to reset itself and start all over again. Is this a coding declaration issue?I have only just started out using basic CSS. For the above document I have written CSS in an HTML document. Is it ok to write CSS code into a HTML document? Or must CSS code be written on an external style sheet linked to the HTML document? I use Dreamweaver 8 to write the above HTML/CSS file. I use the option in Dreamweaver 8 to preview the same file in a browser and in doing so everything displays correctly. After ftp-ing the file I look at what I've ftp'ed and unlike through dreamweaver's 'preview in browser' option, through the ftp site some of the images do not display. Does anyone know why this happens? I thought that having corrected a few mistakes pointed out by Dreamweaver, everything would upload with no issues afterwards. What seems like a simple task, seems to be proving to be a toughie.I know I'm throwing a few questions into one thread, but as I wrote the first issue, I thought I'd mention the others as well while they are on my mind.Guys and gals, as always your help, toughts etc are greatly appreciated

Hi real illusions I will go with your recommendation, ty ;o)

Ok, the problem is not the servers, it is mcafee. I have finally found this out, can you guys recommend a suitable and safe alternative to mcafee pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease. One of course that will easily allow for ftp-ingThanks in advance

Still no result. Thanks, I've tried filezilla and that can't gain access to the site either.

ok I'll try to speak to them again, thanks for your help

Ok I tried Smartftp, but still got no joy. The following message appeared in all 4 attempts made:" 14:12:11] No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it."Is this referring to my computer?Hi hooch, thanks for your suggestion. I'll make a note of it

I also tried using cuteftp, but that didn't work. However thank you for the suggestion and I'll let you know how I get on using smartftp. Thanks for the link.

Hi everyone, I have a problem with my computer. I am currently in the process of making some pages for a simple website. I have tried to experiment with uploading a dummy page onto my domain, which is being hosted by a company. However the problem seems to be that everytime I try I get the following message:"Windows cannot access this folder. Make sure you typed the file name correctly and that you have permission to access this folder.Details:A connection with the server could not be established"I have had this same problem with 2 different servers that I have tried. One host said the domain is working fine and showed me a page which they temporarily added to show the domain has no problems. So I'm now not sure what to check on my computer. I've never ftp'd anything in my life, but I checked and confirmed my ftp address and details with the hosting companies and they say that what I have used is correct. I have a firewall setup (mcafee) and I have been trying to ftp using my web browser Internet Explorer.Any ideas, suggestions,help etc is greeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeatly appreciated. Many thanks in advance

That's great, many thanks for your response :)One more question, is it possible to add a small image link - like a JPEG or GIF - on top of a big image-map, without having to include it in the original image-map. I guess what I mean is something along the lines of a thumbnail perhaps.Many thanks for any advice

I'm think I'm close to having learnt HTML. Just out of interest I have a question, I think it involves the <map></map> tags.Am I right in thinking that it is possible to create a web page using a giant graphic. Only using selected small parts of the image to create or integrate links to other pages, using <map> and</map>?Your help in my understanding would be greatly appreciated :)Thanks.

Hi guys, many thanks for the extra help, I've read the links and am now getting a better idea. I originally just sat in front of my computer, completely clueless as to why the <q> element was not functioning correctly. Now I know though

Hey, thanks mate. Lol, of course the '&quot' element I'll try to think a little more before I jump the gun and ask. So the <q> element does not work on all browsers, I guess there is no point in using it then.

Hey all!In my efforts to learn (X)HTML, I have come acroos a section regarding how to make inline quotes using the <q> & </q> elements. However when I try to use it in a paragraph it does not seem to work. Below is an quick example, I have just added the quotes into random locations: ------------------------------------------------------- <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional!//EN""http://www.3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"><html xmlns="http://www.3.org/1999/xhtml"><head><title>My first attempt-aha!!!</title></head><body>p><span class="name">Andrea</span> has this weird idea that she is fat. <q>I don't know how she came to this conclusion/result</q>, but by viewing photos of her (dated before 14/11/06), one can clearly see that her idea that she is fat, is all in her head. <q>In her desperate efforts to become stick-thin around the waist she is having an operation.</q></P> </body></html> ------------------------------------------------------- Where am I going wrong? Why are the inline quotes not coming up? Any help is greatly appreciated
