more code than what is needed..which means extra load time, extra bytes to load, which means more bandwidth, which costs moneyrelative linking is the best way to go about linking to stuff on the same server/website.

as a guide../file.jpgtakes you back one folder (the parent folder) where the file.jpg is.../folder/file.jpgtakes you back one folder, then into the folder name folder, which has the file.jpg in/folder/file.jpgtakes you to the subforum folder, in the folder you're already indoes that make sense and help at all?

hehe..i didn't mean where, i meant how he wrote them

start off with basic html. xhtml is just a more standards compliant version.http://www.w3schools.com/html/default.aspstart there and work your way throughhtml - xhtml - cssonce you've done html, work with css, and intergrate it with what you know about html. that should start off nicely before going onto more complicated things, or learning several things at once. Learn the basics first.

yeah..a small site called google.com could help you there. i have a feeling you may of heard it once in a while, try it, and you'd be surprised what comes up and how helpful it can be.

i suppose he can, by just writing "help"...anyway..can you post the code so we can have a look, and can you explain a bit more in what your after?

another thingyour comment for the banner and links should be like this<!-- banner --><!-- Link section!!! -->not what you originally wrote.your background image is waaaaayyy too big as well. Make it 10 pixels wide and repeat-y, i think reportingsjr mentioned that to some extent, like make the background the darkest colour, so, if the text/page continues down for another couple of miles, it wont suddenly end into a sea of white.i agree with Skemcin about the bevelled egdes, its gone over the top.images should ideally be on the same server, so you can just use <img src="someimage.jpg" />, but since you haven't uploaded it anywhere, then thats not possible for anyone but yourself when you view it locally, unless you want us all to visit :)its not great, but not bad either. I reckon some people have rated it too highly, but its good for a personal site, but its not profesional looking.i'd give it a 10.

tableless content is more upto date, a div and css based design is 'better'. But, a good coder can produce a search engine friendly site with tables, where as someone who cant code can produce a search engine non-friendly site without tables.Thats how i see it anwyay.I'm not sure of the exact details of why div's and css is prefered over tables for search engines, as the search engines like to keep how they index pages a secret. But, generally, if you use div's and css correctly, in conjunction with other search engine optimisation techniques, then your site will rank highly.

you need javascript to do this.search in the javascript forum, theres bound to be at least 10 million topics to do with this

the only way you can do this is to get an e-commerce site/program if you dont want to or cant write your own.i have a free ecommerce script that comes with my hosting, but haven't used it, so, i cant really guide you any further.

your username, password or ip address could be wrong, therefore its unable to find whatever you said for it look for:)

there is a page for webmasters on google that might be able to help you with thishttp://www.google.co.uk/webmasters/

the tutorials on this site are a great start and should be all you need as a beginner to start building a websitedont over load yourself with information before you know the basics:)

dreamweaver look like the program your after..but it does cost money:)

you need a border="0" in the button tag, or assign it a class and add this to the cssgobuttton.img{border:none;}if that doesn't work, then you have something somewhere in the code that adds a border to your images.

vertically?youmeanlikethis??if so, i dont think its possible:)

depends on your internet speed, and what there is to load on the page and how you wrote the codegenerally speaking, the larger the file size of elements on your page, they will load up slower and therefore appear after the text and any other small icons/graphics.if you want the page to appear all at once, either use flash or no images whatsoever.

huh?can we have that again in english? :)what do you mean by ad programs?? you want to have ads on your website or what??

and dont use capitals either in your tagsmuch better to get used to using lowercase:)

please dont double postone post is enough in the one place:)

<center> is depracted tooand i suggest a tableless designgo for more a css and div design:)

problem with using one image is that its not stretchable, and it may look right for the bottom part, but on the rhs, or even the top part where there is no shadow, it may look horrible.utopia - i understand most of that, but not how to float them into the position required. As i haven't done this before, it'll probably go all hideously wrong :)The other thing is the images, gif is transparent but doesn't support gradients very well, wheres png works fine in everything but explorer.

no matter how much i read about it, and try it, i cant seem to grasp the hang of it.nearly all examples i see have explorer hacks, and netscape 4 hacks, and several stylesheets etc etcwhats the simplist way to add a shadow to a div on the right and bottom sides, that fades, on a div that differs in height on each page.if someone can help me out on this, i might send you a christmas card :)thanks:)
