post-129037-0-52842400-1363008847_thumb.jpg Working on a website for my new venture into making ceramics. Good computer skills but basically a beginner in HTML/CSS..etc Need a simple usable website advertising the business and showing some of the work in a gallery (http://smoothgallery...ng-started/faq/). Been working on it for about a week and only just beginning to understand what I have been doing :facepalm:Created a 'liquid' design with a simple menu bar with a mishmash of HTML/CSS/JAVA and my biggest problem now is with browser compatibility. Works in Safari, used to work in Opera but now the gallery has broken, vaguely works in IE and not tested with anything else.I will upload the files ASAP but post anything that could help :good: Any critique will be helpful as I am stumbling around in the dark with my legs tied together :boredom: It is a concoction of code found on various internet sites.

You won't get much help/good help until you upload. But one suggestion I can give you is to test is every browser possible. It will teach you how to fix bugs, what to look for, and make you better rounded developer.

Uploaded on the internet so we can view it like a regular website. So we can actually find faults/bugs/issues. Because we are lazy and don't want to read line by line of code if it is perfect. I'd rather test, find an imperfection, look in the code at the specific point, then read.
