desidude Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 Hello im pretty new to this, and i made this "preview site" just to try out HTML, CSS, and XHTML. So far I just made one page, which has no meaning to it at all(Just made it for the fun of it, and to learn). I tried putting in a DOCTYPE tag but whenever i put it in, it messes up the pageHere is the code, is there anything wrong in here that makes it so you can't have a DOCtype tag or something? <html><head><title></title><style type="text/css">a.link:link {color: "#19298A"; text-decoration: "none"}a.link:visited {color: "#19298A"; text-decoration: "none"}a.link:hover {color: "#A4A4A4"; text-decoration: "none"}td {padding-left: "20px"}p.margin {margin: "0px" "12cm" "0cm" "5cm"}p.links {font: small-caps 900 14px arial}p.toplinks {font: small-caps 900 13px arial}div.footer{padding:"0.2em";color:"black";background-color:"#A4A4A4";clear:"left";font-size: "75%"}div.border{width:"100%";margin:0px;border:1px none solid gray;line-height:"150%"}div.left{float:"left";width:"34%";margin:"0";padding-left:"1em";padding-right:"1em";}div.right{margin-left:"190px";border-left:1px none solid gray;padding:1em;}p.rightmargin {margin-right: "4cm"}</style></head><body><div class="border"><img src="testtitle1ps.png" width="300" height="60" /><table frame="hsides" width="100%" height="19" ><tr><td><p class="toplinks"> <a class="link" href="url">link one</p></td></tr></table><table frame="rhs" align=left width="157"><tr> <p class="links"><tr><td width="132"> <p class="links"><a class="link" href="url">link one</p></a> </td></tr><tr><td width="132"> <p class="links"><a class="link" href="url">link one</p></a> </td></tr><tr><td width="132"> <p class="links"><a class="link" href="url">link one</p></a> </td></tr><tr><td width="132"> <p class="links"><a class="link" href="url">link one</p></a> </td></tr><tr><td width="132"> <p class="links"><a class="link" href="url">link one</p></a> </td></tr><tr><td width="132"> <p class="links"><a class="link" href="url">link one</p></a> </td></tr><tr><td width="132"> <p class="links"><a class="link" href="url">link one</p></a> </td></tr><tr><td width="132"> <p class="links"><a class="link" href="url">link one</p></a> </td></tr></table><p class="margin"><div class="left"><p>"Never increase, beyond what is necessary, the number of entities required to explain anything."

aspnetguy Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 That depends, what DOCTYPE were you trying to use??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aspnetguy Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 This is wierd...it won;t validate either. W3c keeps saying its MIME type is text/plain.I set the content type to text/html and it still said it was text/plain.I'll look into this further.

F-Man Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 CSS values should not be in quotes.Also, you html closing tag (at the very end) is actually an opening tag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
survivor Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 try to run one last last look down your file...and then you have these very long lines...try to break 'em off(just type "enter"... DONT delete any off our spaces)and make some "air" in the start of a new tag, if you do that its much easier to read and correkt you file...
