  1. xhtml isnt that different or more complicated than html4 just have to close tags/lowercase etc. if you know the differences coding in xhtml is fine

  2. great, good luck with it :) Again, i know it sounds boring but i cant stress how important it is to plan. Ive seen guys with 4 page websites using a css drop down menu just because they thought the menu was cool only to realise it was unnessecary for a micro site. At the other end of the spectrum a friend making a clan site with hundreds of pages in plain html. he had a nightmare trying to control all that content and eventually had to redo the site with a cms and re-enter all the posts.

  3. View some page's source and change it?
    dont do that.first off plan the site. Aesthetics:what kind of look/feel should the site have? this will make all kinds of choices for you like color scheme, font choice and layout.Content:how much will there be? this will influence the type of navigation (drop-downs for large sites etc.) the amount of content and how regularly it will be updated also gives us an idea of technologies we may need. (database? server side scripting?)
  4. html:

    <div id="content"><p>This is where I want the text box to be in the code but I want the text to show up on top of the "sgpagetest01_02.jpg"</p></div>

    css:

    #content {width: 749px; height: 448px; background-image: url(page_layout/sgpagetest01_02.jpg);}

  5. Not sure what you mean, but if it is that the selects automatically stretch in FF while they stay at 50px in IE then maybe just increase the width from only 50px? try 150px<select name="cars" style="width:150px;">hope this helps

  6. Also, I use an HTML editor with a built in viewer, this is a great way of seeing your changes straight away without having to upload them to a server or open a seperate browser.
    You just need both your text editor and your browser open, make a change hit f5 see the change. takes no time at all. And hand coding allows for greater control, flexibility & more efficient code. Well in my experience anyway.
  7. first off, you should lose the borders around your buttons by adding border="0"e.g. replace:

    <a href=""><img src="http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p42/hns_marcon/Buttons/Orange%20buttons/Blank.gif"></a>

    with:

    <a href=""><img src="http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p42/hns_marcon/Buttons/Orange%20buttons/Blank.gif" border="0"></a>

    I like the header image, but overall i feel the colors on the site clash. When im planning a new site i experiment with different color schemes and present the client with a few options. when we agree on a color scheme i pretty much stick to that. this will give your design more consistency. when i cant come up with something i like, i sometimes visit: http://www.colourlovers.com/ they have great color pallettes there to choose from.hope this helps a bit.

  8. create a css file, save as lets say "styles.css"make sure the css file is in the same directory as your html fileinclude:<link href="styles.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">in the document HEAD of the html file.e.g.<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"><html lang="en"><head><title>#</title><link href="styles.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"></head><body>etc. etc.

  9. it would also be kwl if there was a way for you guys to set it in CSS like mouse-over-button { swap-img blaalalala } because all images will be different but they will all go to the same file when the mouse goes over it. sorry if i confused anyone :)
    heres a way you could do that. in this example for a menu
    <head><style type="text/css">	#menu a {		display:block;		width:200px; /* change to whatever you need */		background: url("button.gif") 0 0 no-repeat;		text-decoration: none;		}	#menu a:hover {			background: url("button_hover.gif") 0 0 no-repeat;		}	#menu a:active {		background: url("button_active.gif") 0 0 no-repeat;		}	</style></head><body><div id="menu">	<a href="">Menu item 1</a>	<a href="">Menu item 2</a>	<a href="">One more </a></div></body></html>

  10. with www.hazardzone.tk things would look alot better if they were lined up and of equal widths.i have tried to illustrate this point by making some quick edits in photoshoporiginal: (click for big)layout2b6c.jpg edit:(click for big)layout140.jpg also i would agree with holmedwa04 that the background aint very good and the layout is all over the place for me in IE

  11. any chance of a link? Is that CSS (above) in only 1 of the HTML files? you may need to include it for all, If you are using frames.it would probably be best to have an external CSS file (with a .css extension) referenced in the head of each HTML file. css file: ( save file as styles.css )

    body {SCROLLBAR-ARROW-COLOR: #000000;SCROLLBAR-BASE-COLOR: #666666;SCROLLBAR-FACE-COLOR: #696969;SCROLLBAR-HIGHLIGHT-COLOR: #A9A9A9;SCROLLBAR-SHADOW-COLOR: #778899;SCROLLBAR-3DLIGHT-COLOR: #778899;SCROLLBAR-TRACK-COLOR: #808080;SCROLLBAR-DARKSHADOW-COLOR: #778899;}a:link  {	color : slategray;	text-decoration : none;}a:visited  {	color : #C1C4C6;	text-decoration : none;}a:active  {	color : #C1C4C6;	text-decoration : none;}a:hover  {	color :#666666;	text-decoration : none;}

    in the <head> of every HTML file:

    <html><head><link href="styles.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"></head><body>

    Hope this helps

  12. you can make a word document of the credit application form.if you have acrobat you can convert the word document to a pdf if you dont have that there are free websites that will do it. https://www.pdfonline.com/convert_pdf.asp (will mail the pdf to your address)upload this to server.include a link in your html page e.g.<a href="form.pdf">download credit application form</a>then they will be able to download this and faxx it in or whateverI think it would be much better to just have an online HTML form. that can be submitted to his email let me know if you want more detail
