    Images not floating left

    Hi, I'm making a page where I have images floating left, and the paragraph that relates to them floating along side them. All is working fine accept for one point. The image acts as if I've asked it to position itself relative to the picture above, so it indents itself to the right and then...

    Doctype takes styles away

    Hi, I just added doctypes to a website I was working on. The pages are valid now that I've added the doctype but it's taken the styles away from my paragraphs. I had my paragraphs centered and 60% of the width, now they aren't. I take away the doctype and it all goes to the way it should be. The...

    Lists lose their Number or dot when placed in a paragraph

    This is the css for my paragraph: .para {width:"100%"; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto; text-align:left} If I place a list in there, I'll lose the dots or numbers, though you can still see the place where they should be. Now if I leave the same list outside of the .para, then the...

    Content advice- re: how many links on a links page

    I'm making up a small site for my games business, and thought I'd use the links from my suppliers to the publishers of the games they supply. However there are quite a few of them and was wondering how much is too much. Realistically, there are only a few that I really need, which may have...

    follow up on missing menu items...

    Ok a while ago I posted my website www.gdcycles.com.au and the problem I encountered with the menu disappearing in certain sections. No one had an answer. I've discovered the cause of the problem and it's a table. When I've added to an already existing table on the page, the menu disappears from...

    My menu half vanishes on two of my pages!

    Just updating a web site and when I've added two new pages, the menu is only half there. It validates properly, all of the code is there to show the whole menu and the page, (yes, I know it's probably something small, grrrr), can someone have a look for me and let me know if it's doing the same...

    Nested list Not valid?

    Just going through validating all of my pages and have discovered that my nested lists aren't valid. document type does not allow element "UL" here; assuming missing "LI" start-tag. <ul class="subNav"> I don't understand why it won't allow it when it's just a nested list. Is there a way...

    Css help Gif isn't floating left and allowing text to flow beside it

    Hi everyone. Just got my css and html validated and have noticed that instead of the gif floating left and allowing the text to flow beside it, it's acting as if it's been told push the text below the gif. I can't see anything that I've done wrong, (it was working fine earlier). Any ideas as to...

    Doctype changes the layout of my site! Desperate help!

    Just added a doctype to my site and when I uploaded, I noticed that the positioning of everything has completely changed. Paragraphs that were normally so wide are now spread out across the page, images aren't in their original spots. I've fixed the front page of the site, by taking the doctype...

    Min' screen resolution and button help 2 q's in one...

    I've been playing with making a web site in flash. I've made the stage 740*440 so that it can be viewed on the smallest screen resolution, but on larger screen res' it's right up in the top left corner. Should I just leave it at the smallest res' or make it the next largest? The next one is...

    paragraph tags are indenting themselves.

    I'm creating a web page that at the moment doesn't have any CSS, and consists of a fair few paragraphs with a picture and a small amount of text in each paragraph. Every now and again, when I check the resulting page, the paragraphs are indenting themselves further across the page instead of...

    Trouble getting a background inside a table...

    I'm trying to make a table that has a background texture to it, which is different to the background that runs in the main browser. I cannot for the life of me get it to show up. In my css file, I've included a class for it, but I get nothing. I've gone through all my table information in my...

The javascript book I've got goes into forms but swerves away from what I'm after. I need it so that if the person doesn't fill a bit in, then it tells them...

    Prompt box question regarding the cancel button?

    I've made a site and I've included a prompt when the site loads so that someone can put their name in and it will welcome them by name, if they fill it out of course. If they press OK without filling it out, it's fine, but if they press cancel, it returns NULL. How can I avoid it returning null?

    Just wondering about &lt;title&gt; tags

    I picked up a html pocket book the other day and it's telling me that I can whack a title into other tags like <a href's> etc, so that when you mouse over it it gives a little tool tip type message. In the 2 years since I've learned html, I've never seen it in any of the books I've read, and the...

    w3c standards in validation... have they changed?

    Hi, I was validating a web page the other day using the w3 validator and basically my page was rejected. I had the right doctype, I had the charset but it kept telling me I hadn't opened my head tag and had a closed one. I checked the validation on my own validator and it was fine, everything...
