HTML - Can You Lend Me A Hand About This Xhtml Validation..

Hi.

My entire site is 100% XHTML1.1. Except for some new code I added which causes errors in validation.

the code is
HTML Code:

<a href="http://babelfish.altavista.com/babelfish/"  onclick="window.open('http://babelfish.altavista.com/babelfish/trurl_pagecontent?lp=en_it&url='+encodeURIComponent(location.href));return false;" title="Translate to Italian"><img title="Italian" src="http://geekimo.com/licons/it.png" alt="Italian" /></a>

I understand maybe CDATA islands can help with this? or making it external? but I have no idea how to do that with it having html code in there too.. I don't know if you can surround it in CDATA tags.

There are other lines of code too, exactly the same except have different languages.

Any help would be awesome!

I am trying to make my contact page pass the W3C validation test. I have tried putting the form names (your name, your email and subject) in a p class with a defined font family and size because I think this is what W3C is telling me what to do but I still get lots of errors..

This is my form:
HTML Code:

<form method="post" action="contact.php">your name:<br />
   <input type="text" name="name" size="19"><br />your email:<br />
   <input type="text" name="email" size="19"><br />subject:<br />
   <textarea rows="5" name="message" cols="30"></textarea>
<br />
   <input type="submit" value="submit" name="submit">
</form>

Please can someone shed some light onto this?

Which one is better? XHTML STRICT 1.0 or XHTML 1.1

Hello,

I have following div tag where I have a need to change the mouse pointer to a "hand" when it loads. However, this works perfectly fine on IE, but does not work at all on FF.

<div id="Div1" class="panel" style=" cursor: hand; margin-right:0.5%; margin-bottom:0.5%;" onclick="javascript:window.open('img_1440.html', '','width=600px,height=400px');" >

Please help

Thanks,

Hi Folks,
Back in the day (circa 1995), I learned HTML by looking at the source code of some pages and then doing my own thing with the code I saw. This was OK just for simple pages, but that's was all I really wanted or needed.

Then came family commitments, job changes etc., and I sort of left HTML behind. Now in my forties, I cycle a lot and want to do a webpage for my travels, with some photographs etc. I tried RapidWeaver, and it does produce some nice results. However, it's still someone else's template, and besides, any more than six pages on my site and it continuously crashes. Saving the document takes about twenty minutes each time, and so I postpone saving it until I've done say, two or three pages. Then it crashes, so I have to redo those pages...

Not ideal.

So I scouted around and found Flux 3.0. I have to say, it's an impressive bit of kit, but because I stopped using HTML a while back, there are loads of things there that I don't know: CSS and div to name but two.

I think the only option for me is to learn (or "relearn") HTML, but all of the sites I've found from my google searches so far, are either for complete beginners, or else for people whose knowledge far exceeds mine. And a google search for 'Flux tutorial' isn't much help, either.

Could someone please point me in the direction of an 'intermediate' tutorial, or else one that will help me to hone and update my skills to the point where I can hand code the entire site myself?

Many thanks.

Hi all, Im afraid im getting a little frustrated. My fault..

Im new here but need your help.

I run a forum, phpbb3 based but the style im currently using is very much HTML based. I am looking to have a left hand column within my forum but really dont know how to do it, well to add to what i already have.

I think for you to know what style docs i have you would have to have a look yourself or look at my existing source code..

http://www.pricelessparrots.com/phpbb3/

Ok i have the new style ' VistaX '.

This link will take you to the original download:

It can be found he

It seems this style is mostly created using HTML. Could someone please tell me how to add a left hand column to the page. I would like it to be on the left hand side all the way down after the header.

I thought i would have a go at it but becoming increasingly frustrated with it. such a simple thing but i cannot get it.

Do i float it, using css or what?

I thought about using a seperate page to create the table and then include it into the doc but this doesnt work either.

Plz help..

Hi all, I'm having some trouble getting my website complete enough to be up and running. I can put up 1 page, but visitors would have no way to navigate my site. I'm new to HTML and know a little bit. I've read up on a few tutorials, but nothing that talks about navigation. does HTML even do this?, or is this a CSS or JavaScript thing? I'm new to this and would really appreciate the help. Thanks a million.

Just so you know I am new to all of this stuff. I have been arranging a web site for myself, as a project to learn from.

I made myself a nice title/banner picture for my site and would like to align it to the very edge of the page(top/left/right). There are a few PX as a boarder, this is what I DO NOT want. I have it as a larger sized image then I'm displaying at the moment. And was hoping that I might be able to have it stay aligned at all times( If user changes the window size, or their window is large or small, etc.), and have this image be "fixed" at the top (there no matter how far down the user scrolls). I do not know if this should be in the .html or in the .css portion of my page, at the moment it is in the .html .


***A close example of what I want would be the top of htmlforum.com. The title banner boarders the entire top edges of the frame... except the "pic" does not go across the entire top, and the banner stays at the top.***

the code I'm using at the moment is:

<img src="http://naluolapa.com/images/Titlepic2.jpg"
width="1024px" height="126" alt="title banner, nalu olapa's domain" align="top" >


This is a link to what I'm talking about and working on:
http://www.naluolapa.com/home/HTML-2.html

(yes, I do know that the page is full of errors in the displayed text, I'm more focused on the looks and style then the content at the moment.)

I have google-ed many sites, and used lots of different sources for codes. Though none gave me what i want. so I decided to post on here, after looking through many threads too.

Thanks for your time!

Im trying to figure out how to make my page borders absolute. So that the text I enter is forced to the next line and the table expands to accommodate whatever text is entered.

Instead, whats happening is the page is expanding to the right, to accommodate the excess text. I've not messed with any html in a long time, used to be I could just use nested tables to accomplish this but no longer. I plan to use this code for an ebay store template so trimming the text or manually splitting it from line to line isn't an option.

if anyone could help me or point me in the right direction so I can fix this or learn how to fix it It would be much appreciated.

page in question is located here

surrenderyourwings(dot)com/layout(dot)html
http://surrenderyourwings.com/layout.html

I wanted to get my background image in the center of my page.
The Html code I'm using is as follows.



<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

}
-->
</style></head>

<body>

</html>

When i do it.
Half the image dissappears at the top of the page.
Can anyone help?

Hi board members

I've been hard at this for hours and can't get it working.

Following the tutorial on
facebook in order to specify the image which is associated with the page in question, my daughter's blog which I coded in notepad

Please be advised the facebook links are not positioned where they will finally reside on the page.

I have tried the iframe method first which doesn't have image control of this, then tried html5; and then the supa dupa xfbml methods. The latter two are called open graph. However ALL three methods return the rss icon image - so frustrating.

The image I want to use is within their parameters and is in my images folder on level above the root.

Can you please look at my code and shed some light on this. Note all of this code has been generated by their engine - copy/paste.

the lines you are interested in are 11-16; 24-31 and 62

Good luck, Mal from Cessnock

Hi.

I *hate* I.E.

I'm usually browsing websites in Google Chrome - & sometimes Mozilla / Opera.

Ive designed a website (not public as yet), & it does validate for XHTML - it looks perfect on Opera / Mozilla & Chrome.

But IE messes it up.

Basically it uses Divs, & has a left menu, & the main content is a Google map.

Also, top menu / banner & a footer at the bottom..

on IE7, the google map is UNDER the list of cities etc (left menu), instead of in the middle / right of the left menu..

Can anyone advise a website listing common IE problems & how web designers can fix it..

Tell me.....
