they are the search engine bots.they can be selected to be set to hidden, or not allowed to view the board at all...treat them how ever you want. but thats in the admin control panel, which, obviously, only admins have access to.

i think you just hit the nail on the head with a sledge hammer with that comment

just to add a bit more to what chocolate570 has said - the scroll bar colours is a microsoft code, and therefore only explorer reads it.

pretty much the exact reason i put them in there. a little tooltip as Kcarson says, to aid the visitor. Whatever aids the visitor in their usage of the site can only be a good thing.It also helps in what they might expect when they click on a link, where it takes them, what its about etc...i find that very useful when i'm browsing sites, a link that tells me more info before i click on it.

thanks for all the help everyone!! but i still dont understand why dreamweaver says opera doesn't support title attributes in the image tags..oh..and yes, skemcin, i still know that you know that our karts are faster than yours

call me stupid (you can, i'll take it as a compliment)..but whats SVG??

theres a couple of php include commands in the pages.and those include documents are full php/html pages.do i just get rid of all the other html, meta, body tags etc.. in them other pages? thanks thats most browsers covered.

a and b i've changed now. however, i cant see any mutiple html, head and body tags. doing an html check on the page produces nothing. thanks for the feedback, most appreciated. i'll look into the background. However, it seems ok to me, but then again i've seen the site millions of time, so i'm used to it.and our karts are faster than yours

hehehe...i dont know why, everyone hates explorer..yet pretty much (nearly) everyone i talk to uses it.the problem is though (getting back on topic), i still get alot of errors and warnings for opera 6 and 7...although its mainly title attributes and the flash on the page.

hmm..*bump*:)yeah..uhh..skemcin - what can you find with opera with my site?i did check how dw was set up, and it was set up for html 4.0 and coldfusion. and also every browser version as well.and now it doesn't want to output the report into my browser.. :)and most of the errors and warnings are of the title attribute in the image...why?

Hi..well..actually, the font tag is a dieing breed..as its been gradually filtered out in favour of CSS.there are tutorials on this site to do with CSS http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_intro.aspi reckon, instead of learning the "older" way, so to speak, i would go for the css way.However, since css has alot in it. I would go for learning what you need. At the moment, the font face, colour and size.That way, you can easily change it if you need to by just changing one or 2 lines of code rather than editing a whole document.Take a look through the tutorials slowly, and work your way through it. If you get stuck, then give us a shout.

thanks for the help so fari get some warnings and some errors..although..the only errors are in opera and in earlier versions of netscape and explorer. netscape 7 and explorer 6 get no errors. FF gets no errors or warnings. safari gets no errors but 15 warnings. and explorer 6 just the one warning.the page is http://www.midlandkarting.co.uki'll look into how dreamweaver is set up..and i'll look into the errors first.

i know its not possible to get a completely error free site for every single browser out there for both pc, macs and linux, but, how do i reduce errors for opera?i did a browser check in dreamweaver.most of the errors are for the earlier versions.but..this one confused me slightly - the flash movie works in explorer, both here and at work. it says all opera versions will have errors with just about every aspect of the flash movie.and sometimes, it says the "title" attribute is not supported for images, this isn't important to the site, but the report is not consistent. it gives me the same error but different browsers all the time.and another one with opera - "The Type attribute of the Style tag is not supported." but isn't that attribute a bit important??

Hi..i got a flash movie already made..however..i want to put something at the beginning of the flash. theres several layers already in the movie...so..its not like getting the one layer and doing stuff at the beginning like inserting frames and stuff.

just add "border=0" into your <img> tag:)that should solve the problemthere probably is a way in css too but i dont know that way without researching it.

thanks for the help so far.with jonas code..i've tried it..but it doesn't seem to work. i think its something to do with the co-ordinates of the image. the hidden div doesn't appear no matter where i roll it over.heres what i did - <div id="something" style="z-index:1; position:absolute; top:0px; left:0px; "><img alt="somepicture" width="218" height="109" title="somepicture" src="somepicture.gif"><map id="picture" name="picture"><area shape="rect" coords="0,0,175,20" onmouseover="document.getElementById('firstcorner').style.visibility="visible"></div><div style="visibility:hidden; position:absolute; top:0px; left:225px; "><p>some text type thingy</p></div> and skemcins sites, i think they look like something i'm trying to do, but without the linking.the 2nd site is certainly the closest, as when you roll over the images..it highlights and some text appears.

hi, not sure how you go about this, so therefore dont know where to post (i'll use the most common excuse out there to say 'oops'..i'm sure no-one will notice)..anway.image mapping kind of thing.what i want to do is, with an image..(well 2 on one page..) is that when the mouse goes over certain parts, a seperate box next to the image comes up giving details on that part of the image.example, a car, when you go over the wheels, it tells you about the wheels..go over the bonnet (hood for you yanks), it tells you about the engine etc...and also highlights that part of the image.its the info part i'm after more, the highlighting part is just a bonus, but i would like that too.i haven't found anything to do with java or javascript to do this out there on the interweb..so i'm guessing its something elsethanks:)

firefox does very much support cssas for the scrollbar..perhaps you can tell us the code your using. then we'll be able to help a bit more.i read somewhere about changing the colour of the scrollbar, but it only worked in IE and not any other browsers. but i cant remember if that was script based or css based.

that was my mistake...i didn't know about taking the script tags out.thanks:)

Hi, how do you insert an external javascript in the head section?i've tried the code in the tutorials..but that doesn't work..

if you want to put the code in the page, then its in the body tag <body background="whatever.jpeg"> or by using an external css file - body {background-image:url('whatever.jpg')} and thats with the image file in the folder with your page on the server, not a seperate website.

umm..you have no body tag.. no link to an external css file, no internal css stuff..in the main page.the page in the frame...looks more like a proper coded page from the code.which page do you want the black background on?and i dont understand what the page is about either...

i think what i'm asking for hasn't been invented yet..basically, theres a set of links in a menu, in a div (d1), and when you click on the links, new text appears in another div (d2) on another part of the page, without reloading the menu and background. without using frames. and also any links you click in d2, also changes the text in d2 to the appropiate stuff. probably calling the new stuff from a seperate document into that one page.

hmm..ok..but how do you link to that div??its all good creating it if you cant use it

i made the same enquiry pretty muchthis is where it lead to - http://w3schools.invisionzone.com/index.php?showtopic=782
