davidpearse Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 I'm having a little trouble with my website. Whenever I try to preview it on Mozilla, the only thing that shows up is the black background. I actually just "borrowed" some of the source code for the navigation bar from my school website, although it was working fine on it's own.The navbar page has a logo on the top that stretches out across the length of the page. (Could that be the problem?) Here's the navbar code (it's called navbar2.html): <html><head><title>titleofpage</title><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"></head><body bgcolor="#000000" topmargin="0"> <table cellspacing=4 cellpadding=0 style="border-collapse: collapse" bordercolor="#111111" height="426"> <tr><td height="175"> <img border="0" src="title.gif" width="800" height="157"> </td></tr> <tr><td height="30"><a href="index.html"> <img src="homepic.gif" border="0" alt="SGS Home Page" width="125" height="25"></a> </td></tr> <tr><td height="29"><a href="page2.html"> <img src="faqpic.gif" border="0" alt="Useful information about the school including photos of our new buildings" width="125" height="25"></a></td></tr> <tr><td height="34"><a href="page3.html"> <img src="blogpic.gif" border="0" alt="Including Choir, Debating, Irish Activities.." width="125" height="25"></a></td></tr> <tr><td height="34"><a href="page4.html"> <img border="0" src="stuffpic.gif" alt="The 4th Year Programme which develops a variety of skills" width="125" height="25"></a></td></tr><tr><td height="23"><a href="page5.html"> <img border="0" src="gamespic.gif" alt="The 4th Year Programme which develops a variety of skills" width="125" height="28"></a></td></tr> <tr><td height="31"><a href="page6.html"> <img border="0" src="linkspic.gif" width="125" height="25"></a></td></tr> </table></body></html> Don't mind the "alt" stuff, that's just the bit I haven't gotten rid of yet.Now here's the index code (index.html): <html><head><title>thegermansareafterme.tk</title><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"></head><body bgcolor="#000000" text="ffffff"><img src="title.gif"width="700" height="125"><h1>Welcome!</h1><p>This is a test.</p></body></html> Finally, here's the one that ties the two together (maintest.html): <html><head><title>thegermansareafterme.tk</title><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"></head><body bgcolor="#000000" text="ffffff"><frameset frameborder="0" border="0" framespacing="0" rows="*"> <frameset cols="155,640*" frameborder="0" border="0" framespacing="0"> <frame name="leftFrame" src="navbar.html"> <frame name="mainFrame" src="index.html"> <noframes> <body bgcolor="#FFFFFF"></body> </noframes></frameset></frameset><frameset></frameset></html> Sorry that was a little long, and sorry that the names are screwed up, which just creates more hassle, but I plan to fix that once I get this website working.

jlhaslip Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 Go over to the w3schools tutorials and discover the use of unordered lists<ul>, list items<li>, and div's<div>. You will be better off dropping tables and Frames. My opinion.PM me for a copy of a bare page that will do everything you want and is validated.Oh, and missing a Document Type Declaration is an invitation for trouble. Cross-browser issues and Quirks mode comes to mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
