chemo

Thanks Jesh!I found one that works perfectly.

Thanks for the help guys it makes a change for something to work only on IE.I don’t suppose you know of one that works cross browser?

}. outer_wrap{ width: 780px ; hight: auto ; position: relative ; padding: 0px ; margin: 0px auto ; display: table ;This works for me with display: table; being the important part it will not work without this.

The below code is pasted between the body tags of the site. But, it is scrolling across the screen perfectly in Explorer browsers but flashing on and off with out scrolling in Firefox. Can anyone please tell me why? It’s driving me crazy. <script type="text/JavaScript" src="../jscript/copyoftickertape.js"></script>/*TICKERTAPE JAVASCRIPT INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING IN THE HEAD WITHOUT MODIFICATION TO OVERFLOW OR FILTER:-#spage{ width:426;

Can someone please explain to me the difference between position absolute and position relative?

I was wondering would it work if you were to give each of the columns a different z-index. Sorry I can’t be of more help.

Thanks Aspnetguy and RahXephon.Yes I was using using a strict doctype, which I changed to<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">along with action="" Problem solved.

When trying to validate a form <form name="myMenu"> <select name="menu"> <option value="0”>xxxx</option> <option value="0">xxxx</option> <option value="0">xxxx</option> </select> <input type="button" onclick="location=document.mymenu.menu.options[document.myMenu.menu.selectedIndex].value;" value="GO!"> </form> W3C failed it for this reason, which I do not understand. Can anyone help.1. Error Line 173 column 14: there is no attribute "name". <form name="myMenu">You have used the attribute named above in your document, but the document type you are using does not support that attribute for this element. This error is often caused by incorrect use of the "Strict" document type with a document that uses frames (e.g. you must use the "Transitional" document type to get the "target" attribute), or by using vendor proprietary extensions such as "marginheight" (this is usually fixed by using CSS to achieve the desired effect instead). This error may also result if the element itself is not supported in the document type you are using, as an undefined element will have no supported attributes; in this case, see the element-undefined error message for further information. How to fix: check the spelling and case of the element and attribute, (Remember XHTML is all lower-case) and/or check that they are both allowed in the chosen document type, and/or use CSS instead of this attribute. If you received this error when using the <embed> element to incorporate flash media in a Web page, see the FAQ item on valid flash. ✉ 2. Error Line 173 column 22: required attribute "action" not specified. <form name="myMenu">The attribute given above is required for an element that you've used, but you have omitted it. For instance, in most HTML and XHTML document types the "type" attribute is required on the "script" element and the "alt" attribute is required for the "img" element. Typical values for type are type="text/css" for <style> and type="text/javascript" for <script>.

OH dear major identity crises.

Thanks! I thought it was a donkey. Love the Firefox

Hi Everyone! My name is Al, I got hooked on HTML/CSS coding about six months ago and I love it. W3schools has been a great help so I thought it was about time I joined the forum.
