I hope someone can help me with this.

I've got a little big problem with my site... This is the link: http://bloomin-fantasy.hollywood.com/
If you open it with IE, you won't find any problem. Problems come when you open it with Firefox... everything is wrong and you can't read anything.

Today I realized that the Doctype was missing, so I added it, but in a different URL before publishing it because it could have some errors. And yes, now it's eveything wrong, in both IE and Firefox, as you can see: http://bloomin-fantasy.hollywood.com/index2.html

I'm not good at HTML, at all... so I don't really know what to do. What do I have to change, or add, so it can be perfect?

I'm sorry for my English.
Thanks in advance,

I think at that time there was an automatic update with windows that i clicked but i did not finish the update. i guess that might have caused the page error.. we have tried reformating the computer but it was still the same.

Also at my facebook and friendster account was the same page with error..

Hope you guys can help me out with my problem.. Thanks!

However, I'm getting some of the effects from the first a:hover on the second and don't know how to correct this.

The code...

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html>
<head><title>Navigation Bars</title>

<style type="text/css">


.scott {margin-left: 10px;}



#nav li {display: inline;
padding-right: 3em;
padding-left: 3em;
padding-top: 10px;
padding-bottom: 4px;
background-color: black;
color: white;
font-size: 22px;}






a:link, a:visited {color: white;
text-decoration: none;}

a:hover {border: 1px dotted #800517;
color: red;
background-color: white;}






.a {background-color: #747170;
border-style: outset;
color: black;
font-size: 25px;
width: 150px;
text-align: center;
margin-bottom: 7px;}




.a a:link, a: visited {color: black;}

.a a:hover {color: white;
text-decoration: none;
background-color: #747170;}








</style>

</head>

<body>

<div class="scott">

<table>

<tr>

<td>

<ul id="nav">
<li><a href="home.htm">Home</a></li>
<li><a href="author.htm">The Author</a></li>
<li><a href="downloads.htm">Downloads</a></li>
<li><a href="contact.htm">Contact</a></li>

<div class="a">

<div class="a">

<div class="a">
<a href="downloads.htm">Downloads</a></div>

<div class="a">
<a href="contact.htm">Contact</a></div>


</div>



</body>

</html>




It's in the div class that I simpy named "a" that is still getting the effects from the first "a:hover" in the CSS list like the 1px dotted border with the #800517 colour.

I'm not sure how to correct this.

]]> Web Design prettylol http://www.pchelpforum.com/web-design/79293-please-help-urgent-paypal-form-linking.html Tips for newb Web Designers http://www.pchelpforum.com/web-design/79194-tips-newb-web-designers.html Mon, 19 Oct 2009 17:02:22 GMT Hi everybody, I'm new here but I've been a freelance web designer for many years: www.robbydesigns.com. Looking around in the 'Web Design' section I see many people asking the same questions so, coffee in hand, I'm going to write a little guide right here which I hope will help you all in some way.

1. Do you need to know HTML /CSS to make a website?
The simple answer is not really but you will need a basic understanding or you will be forever trying to work out why your text is green instead of black and why only half of your image is visible.

In the old days websites were laid out in tables with DIV's TR's TD's etc but this has been mainly pushed aside for the more manageable and less code heavy CSS.
CSS is used to style a website, for example, we choose what colour links will be, how far that image is away from another image etc.
The beauty of this is that we can easily change things if we decide it doesn't look right.
CSS is as complicated as you need it to be - you can learn simple CSS by reading a few tutorials on the internet or buy the 'Simple CSS' ebook I have (PM me if you're interested).

2. What software do I need to make a website?
I'm going to upset a few people now by saying most web dev's do not use Dreamweaver and instead opt to hand-code. Why? Because, just like Photoshop's save as a web page option, the code is old fashioned (Tables, TD's,TR's etc) and usually has many errors
Here's the software I use:

Code: CSE HTML Validator
This lets you hand code / edit code with an inbuilt validator to let you know of any errors. This is good for intermediates whilst beginners might prefer the CoffeeCup HTML Editor which has a split-screen so you can see the code plus a live version of how the site looks as you edit. There's a free trial so go ahead.

Design: Adobe Photoshop
There is no better.
For a free solution try 'The Gimp' - I've never used it but I have heard it's pretty good.

If you are looking to make a beautiful website you will first need to learn about design. Web dev's get paid well simply because there is more to design than using Dreamweaver - learn about design as the whole from fonts and colour in design to how to grab the attention.
Once you have a grasp of that, go buy yourself a copy of the latest edition of 'Web Design For Dummies'.


3. What is the down-right easiest way to make a nice website?
Use a template.
Google 'website templates' or visit ThemeForest.net. You'll find loads of beautiful designs you can easily edit to your requirements (make a back up copy of the template before you start work). If you need pretty pictures Google 'stock photos' or visit 123-RF.com; note that most designers agree that stock photos should be used sparingly as they do not add a personal or 'real' feel to a website..you need to inspire trust.



So there you have it, a basic guide.
I hope this helps.

I just found this site- while doing searches ALL day... I finally made the switch from frontpage to dreamweaver this past year- and am now learning and using more and more css in my web designs.... I have been working on my new marketplace site- and..... It works great on all 5 of the computers I tested and in explorer and in firefox.. Both the most recent versions- and in older versions... For some reason- it will not work properly in my mothers computer. I'm exhausted- and cannot figure out why!!

She says that the page is "jumpy", and is like flipping on her- it's not scrolling down smoothly. Now- on all of the other computers I tested- everything is beautiful. The css background stays fixed- the html site content floats and scrolls smoothly over it- and all is well in our world...

Would anybody care to test the site for me? Or perhaps give me an idea on why it is just not working on her computer??? We looked at everything I could think of!! HELP!!!

The site is under construction- as I am just building it- but here it is:

And this is what I'm getting when viewed.

I got dreamweaver, and allready started exploring it. I know how to insert tables, i know what CSS is(or i thing i know:)) and basic thing like that. But I would really like to know how to make professional and good looking web site.

So, is this a right place to look for this kind of help. Do I need to know html code in order to make good web sites, do I need to know java script, can u recommend me good literature and all those things that you think that one who is beginner need to know and start from.
