HTML - Newb Question..help!

Hi all, first time poster. I'm taking an html/css class and have gotten a little stuck on one of the assignments. The instructions say to "Style the address element to display as bold and Arial text. The text should be all uppercase letters as white text on a navy background. Make sure the background color does not extend from the left edge of the screen to the right edge of the screen."

The bolded part is where im having trouble. Everything else is fine but the backgorund color is extending all the ti the left, and I can't figure out how to make it be only the background of the text.

I styled the address tag in a css sheet. Here is the css code:

address{
font-style: bold;
font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-seriff;
text-transform: uppercase;
color: white;
background-color: navy;
}

And here is the html code:

<address>Women's Council on Entrepreneurship in the Americas
<br />23 Butler Blvd.
<br />Suite 400B
<br />Hamilton Creek, NJ 35688</address>

Sorry for the long post. Any help would be much appreciated.

ok so lets say i get one of these free css/xhtml templates that have columns.
And i have link on the left:
home
about us
contact us
blah
blah
blah....

and in cpanel i have index.html which is the first page. (home page)
now, for contact us, do i created a new file in cpanel and call it contactus.html and just copy paste everything and change the body to our phone numbers and emails?
or is there an easier way to accompish this?

If the explanation is too long, my aim is pballa818, so IM me and we can talk there.

Thanks for all your help guys!!

Hi.

I was wondering if there were any generous souls in this forum that could help me out? I am new to HTML (et al) and am trying to test something here at work. I need to try and identify all the tags\attributes that might contain a URL (absolute path - Eg. http://mycompany.com ...). I am aware that links in HTML contain an href attribute. So I think I am all set there. However, there are other attributes that I might not be aware of. For example, an external javascript file etc. I believe that CSS, XML (et al ???) might also contain absolute URLs. I am just not sure if that's true or not. Would anybody be able to come up with a list of of languages and tags\attributes that might contain a URL. Or point me to a source that would have a consise list (versus having me spend a week researching all the possibilities). Thanks in advance. Sorry if this is a major PITA.

I am very new to using HTML, I have looked everywhere for a way to make an icon change when you roll over it with you mouse but I could find nothing by Google it. I pieced this code together <a rel="nofollow" href="http://signup.getfreepsncardcodes.com/" target="_blank"><img title="Sign Up" onmouseover="this.src='http://www.weebly.com/uploads/6/0/4/2/6042957/custom_themes/887654571988508086/files/8.png?95150';" onmouseout="this.src='http://www.weebly.com/uploads/6/0/4/2/6042957/custom_themes/887654571988508086/files/9.png?69287';" src="http://www.weebly.com/uploads/6/0/4/2/6042957/custom_themes/887654571988508086/files/9.png?69287" alt="" width="124" height="30" /></a>
But I have read that Google will drop your ranking on them if you have bad coding on your site. I am just wondering if this is an OK code to use, and if not is there a better way to do this.
It is working on my site the way I wanted it to so I am hoping it is OKO to use.
Any and all help is appreciated

BTW this is the site so you can see how the icon looks http://www.getfreepsncardcodes.com/

Hello I'm assuming I'm in the right area for this.

http://hiatus.5u.com/index.html

I'm wanting to position a box on this website with HTTP links that open a new browser. I've tried using custom drawn boxes, but my website doesn't like it, it's chewing up the links and wont link them.

If you look at the website link there I posted, to the right side of the page there is a box that is empty, below it says something like "links will open a new browser" I want to set links there.

I don't know what style of scripting I need to accomplish that. I'm starting to feel like html isn't cutting the mustard.

And frontpage isn't cutting the mustard over there.

I also have another question, about setting up an html password.

I have this setup here ~

Code:

<input type="password" name="time23" size="10"><INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="cgiemail_required" VALUE="time23: Please supply the correct Password.">
  <INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="cgiemail_error" VALUE="error_enlistment.html">

I want it to work like this, if you put in a password and it's incorrect, it'll send you to an error page.

This somewhat works, however not accurately enough. If you leave it blank it will spit out an error site.

But if you put any random thing, as long as the box isn't empty it will work.

I don't mind if the password is in the page source code, that's not a big deal. Most people I know don't have a clue you can even look at source code. So as long as I can ring a few in doing it this way I'm fine.
