  1. Does this help at all?http://jlhaslip.trap17.com/samples/image_display/
  2. Additionally to what has already been posted about the positioning of UL's and LI's, be reminded that different Browsers use different techniques for indenting themSome use margins, others use padding. So declaring both padding and margins to 0 for all items is recommended using the star (universal) selector and then add specific margins/padding where you want/need them.
  3. Couple of things here.firstly, there are Id's being duplicated in the code. classes can be repeated on a page, but not named Id's.secondly, the Ul/li/a's have a sequence for the Css code to be specified, which when they are not in the correct order might affect how they act. LoV HA... like Lover with a southern drawl ... Link, Visited, Hover, Active. There is a focus in there too, but it is rarely used...So have a go at fixing these problems and then post back when you are ready to proceed. Fixing these might take care of the problems. Never know.*edit*and now for the bad news. try that menu in IE6 and it doesn't work at any resolution...http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_pseudo_classes.asp
  4. I would kill that id=body. The Body is already declared as the html body element. Might avoid a difficulty or two along the way. Rename it "wrapper" or 'container" or "kerfluffle", doesn't matter exactly...
  5. Holy divitis, Batman...Div's with Id's can only be specified once per page. There are several Id names being repeated on that page, which might not solve the difficulties, but if you were to convert them to classes, you stand a better chance of fixing them. See the Id for the menu and the "blocks" below that you are worried about. Also, include a Doc Type Declaration for the level of coding you intend to meet for this page. No obvious reason it shouldn't be "strict.Aside from all that, remember that div's are block level items, so they will all have a "new line" or "return" before and after them. Use margins and padding to raise/lower or side shift them to where you want them.First fix the Id and DTD problems. Then post a new link or let us know when you are ready to proceed with the fix.And using PHP in this is in insignificant factor. All the php does is spew out the html code. You still need to style it, and it can just as easily be valid as not.
  6. I have tried three different times to download and inspect these files, but for some reason the files throw an error when I attempt to load them in my local editor.Aside from that, I noticed that the orange dividers are not include inside the div's below them. Might work if they were part of the div's??? just a thought. Since the files are giving me the hassle of not loading in the Editor, I can only guess about it.
  7. I'm on the job, converting them at every opportunity I have...
  8. Custom tags like this: http://w3schools.invisionzone.com/index.php?showtopic=11884 ?

    Website looks off.

    Looks identical to me in ie6, ie7, ff2, opera9.could you post a screen print of the problem for us, please.
  10. I cringe at 21 warnings on a page. 2100 errors is a lot. It is amazing anything came out of the browser with that many.
  11. Is this any help?http://jlhaslip.trap17.com/samples/templat...amed/index.html

    <div> probrties

    I knew that.I figured that the div tag could be found in there and they would have it for answering the other questions they will be having. "Give a man a fish, he eats for one day. Teach him to fish, he eats forever."
  13. Sometimes the Host includes a method or software to do that, yes. Other times you need to download a copy of a package like smartftp or cuteftp to allow you to do this. If you use Firefox as a Browser, install the FireFTP extension to manage your uploads/downloads. These are merely suggestions. Any FTP package will work (in most cases) better than the Host's alternative.

    * html { margin: 0; padding: 0; } Place that code right at the top of your CSS file.
  16. Exactly the same thing. If you specify a particular Font and they have it, it works. Otherwise, it doesn't. So, then you have a limited number of choices available to you.First, download the Font for them. Not a good idea for several reasons, not the smallest of which is security. I, as a client, do not really want to allow you to add things to my computer outside of the information I require to view your site. So forget about downloading the font. It is a pain anyway.Second, provide an image to be used instead of the Font. Not a bad idea, but it takes some coding to do that, and some Graphics skills. Do you have them? this is an option. and Images aren't "linkable" by the search engines, so you would lose your opportunity to rank.Thirdly, and similar to the second option, is sIFR, which substitutes the text with a Flash Image while maintaining your core html codes. Better for the search engines. Still needs to be installed onto the site and set up properly, but it isn't difficult, really.Fourth, Font substitution. In your html page, where you select the Font to be used, you can specify a series of fonts and the Browser well try to use the first one named, and then the second one, etc, until it finds a suitable font. hat is wh the last font on the list should be a "generic" Font, which everyone will have. At least the information will display something, and you don't neeed to finagle all the other options into place. Of course, you also don't get to see your snazzy font, but which is the most important here, getting the information out and around the net? or how the page looks to those few who can see it the way you intend for it to be seen?
  17. BonRouge has a "dis-jointed rollover" which might do what you want.http://bonrouge.com/cheerspics.phpAnd I have a Hoverbox script which is also pretty good.http://www.jlhaslip.trap17.com/samples/gal...rbox/index.htmlBoth are easy to set up and install.
  18. <ul><li><a href="blah" class="menu">Menu Link text</a></li</ul><a href="blah">Other Link text</a> a.menu { style for the menu here }a { other links get styles from here }

  20. read trough the tutorials at w3schools to learn some of the basics and it will be easier.
  21. Cut and paste the html into the body of the page and the corresponding CSS code into the Style section or into a CSS external file and link it.But be careful to determine exactly which sections get cut and pasted. The Css especially.
