HTML - Strange Characters On Index Page
Hi,
I'm a newbie, and have taught myself from books and the web, so please be patient with me! I have noticed these symbols appear at the bottom left of my index page: My site is http://www.artish.com.au. It doesn't appear when I check the page before uploading it. It only seems to appear in IE (firefox doesn't show it). Just wondering what it is, and how to get rid of it? Thanks in advance for any help offered... Leticia Similar TutorialsI'm getting strange characters right in the middle of a word. The character looks like a rectangle with an X in it in my browser Safari. At a PC at a university the character was different, dots, I think. Here is the code for the relavent line: <LI><U> La Primavera: Music for voice, lute, viola da gamba and recorder from the English Renaissance</U> You can listen to the whole CD at Magnatune Records and it is also available <A HREF="luteCD.html#Total running time: 59:22"> <strong> here </strong></A>). Played lute as well as produced and arranged music from the late Renaissance featuring lute songs and instrumentals <BR> <align = 'right'> <a href = "mainpage.htm#Why">Back to Home Page</a> </right> Strange. The characters appear in the preview window for this message but not the window I'm typing in now. If you see the characters, there is no need to visit my page, but here is the link to the page. The troublesome line is at the bottom. http://www9.plala.or.jp/edurbrow/personalhistory.html TIA Here is a screen shot of my problem, and below the source code for my site, hopefully you can help, you always provide great assistance that is greatly appreciated!

Wanted your opinions and knowledge on something. I have a friend who is setting up a splash page for her site. However the way her hosting company has things set up she will need to rename her current home page from index.html to something else, and make the splash page the new index.html. She's under the impression that if her current home page is renamed to something other than index it will lose significant value in her website's ranking. I've never heard of that. Her meta tags will be kept intact, and the splash page will have meta tags, and will link to both the home page and sitemap so I don't think search engines will have any problem spidering her site. And I don't really think it will affect her ranking. What do you all think? Am I wrong? I am new to the forum, and relatively new to web design. I recently updates some things on a very basic page for my wife who is a hair stylist. For whatever reason, the index page will not display in IE or Chrome, but will just fine in Firefox. I've checked everything and just can't find what is causing the issue. http://amyappletonhairdesign.com These pages on the same site display fine if you need a point of reference: http://amyappletonhairdesign.com/services.html http://amyappletonhairdesign.com/contact.html Thank you! I'm not sure what to call it, so I'll call it an index. I want the top of my page to have the links A B C D E F G .... and so on, and I want those to link to other letters further down on the page. I'm making a directory for music reviews I have done. So basically, if you click on 'G' you will be scrolled down to the index of bands with names starting with G. How is this done? Im in the middle of creating a forum which has an "front page". I just cant get it to look right, and was wondering if anyone here can see where i am going wrong? http://newcarnews.slarti3.myfreeforum.org/index.html The image below is how i want it to look. The code i have for the index.html page is Code: <link rel="stylesheet" href="./styles/newcarnews.myfreeforum.org1/theme/stylesheet.css" type="text/css" /> <script type="text/javascript"> <div id="f_11"> <script type="text/javascript"> <!-- tmp = 'f_11'; if(GetCookie(tmp) == '2') { ShowHide('f_11', 'f_11_h', 'f_11'); } //--> </script> <div><div class="c-h-l"><div class="c-h-r"><div class="c-h-c"><img style="padding-top:0px;padding-right:8px;float:left;cursor:pointer;" src="" onclick="javascript:ShowHide('f_11','f_11_h','f_11');" alt="" /><div class="c-h-title"><h4><a class="c-h-link" href="./viewforum.php?f=11">New Car News</a></h4></div></div></div></div> <table class="tablebg" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"> <tr> <th width="50" cellpadding="0" align= "left" valign="top"> News </th> </tr> <script language="JavaScript" src="http://feeds.theblogresource.com/feed2js.php?src=http%3A%2F%2Frss.feedsportal.com%2Ffeed%2Fnewcarnet%2Fnews&chan=y&num=3&targ=y&html=a" type="text/javascript"></script> <noscript> <a href="http://feeds.theblogresource.com/feed2js.php?src=http%3A%2F%2Frss.feedsportal.com%2Ffeed%2Fnewcarnet%2Fnews&chan=y&num=3&targ=y&html=y">View RSS feed</a> </noscript> <tr> I have copied bits of the code from various places on my forum but i cant seem to get it right. Any help? Thanks Jake Hi, basicly i want a page that looks like this (drawn the best i can using text) |-------------------------------| | | (header, left navigation bar and main page) |___________________ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | --------------------------------- Im using the following code to achieve this at the moment Code: <html> <head> <title>Richards Site</title> <META name="verify-v1" content="9u6uX6mdIuBNO6+EWvyS0gCSYP7MNds6lT/wKkizUms=" /> </head> <frameset rows="100,*" cols="*" framespacing="0" frameborder="NO" border="0"> <frame src="top.php" name="topFrame" frameborder="no" scrolling="NO" noresize marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" title="topFrame"> <frameset rows="*" cols="101,*" framespacing="0" frameborder="NO" border="0"> <frame src="navi.php" name="leftFrame" frameborder="no" scrolling="auto" noresize marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" title="nav"> <frame src="main.php" name="mainFrame" title="mainFrame"> </frameset> </frameset> </frameset> <body> </body> </html> is that ok to use? and when i click a link in the navigation bar, the page it goes to appears in the navigation bar. is there any way i can get the page to show up in the main page part? if its any help im using PHP where possible as im learning how to use that thanks you amazing people Edit: the representation of the table looks fine while im looking at it like this, no idea why it all screws up when i save it :S When I enter the URL for my website, it does not direct to index.htm (the homepage). It shows what appears to be the same page as the index, but it does not show up in the address bar. I have made edits to the index page and they are not reflected in the homepage. Why is this, and how can I change it? I don't know how it got this way. mikebradleyphoto.com My current web site is at "CAVAglass.com" I created "http://www.cavaglass.com/gallery/1.GORMENGHAST.htm" and want it to be my new Index Page. All the links work fine here. When I rename "http://www.cavaglass.com/gallery/1.GORMENGHAST.htm" as "index.htm", and open my "CAVAglass.com" website this home page looks fine, but no links work. Any suggestions? Best, Joseph guys, Im hoping someone can help me out. i am a flash designer and my flash movie opens in a 1024 x 680 fixed window but my index page is html ( a page with a picture and an "enter here" button and im trying to get this jpg to fill the full horizontal width of the screen in all resolutions. it looks fine @ 1024 x 768 but of you go higher, obviously you cant make the image wider or it will distort so i think the layout will have to be sectional ( tables perhaps or divs breaking the image into sections or something). i think the jpg has to be chopped up. if you see the picture, you will get the idea. i want it to fill the width of the screen regardless of screen resolution. im not sure what to do, i need so serious design help. I know that some of you can prob do this in 5 minutes but im trying to learn. the problem is that my site is complete but i cant launch until my index page is done. i dont know what to do. im new to html but am a flash programmer. i just want a index page to launch my site but have it look ok regardless of screen resolution / size. can someone take a look at this jpg and perhaps show me what to do so that my picture will always be to the far left and the enter button / box it is in will stay to the right. I can really use some help. i am attaching my image and also an example url that shows a site where the intro page does this. the image always stays to the left and everything keeps proper postion. i really can use some helpsample_&_image.zip I think there is a simple fix for this...but I can't think of it. My client has an existing site (not very well designed and no templates) with hundreds of static pages. She wants me to create a new home (index.htm) page that is just a simple landing page where people can choose to enter her website OR visit the store to purchase products. Simple enough...but, now all of the 100's of static pages have the link Home=index.htm on them. I want people to type in the URL: www.mysite.com (for example) and land on the new page to choose to go to the site to learn about her and her music OR go to the store to shop. Once they are in the site, however, and hit the home link, I don't want them to go 'all the way back out' to the new landing page. I want them to go back to the 'old' index.htm page (or her current home page), without having to change the index.htm links on those 100's of pages. Is there an easy fix for this, using a naming convention for the home page? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am a bit stumped on this one. I finally figured out how to add text to my index and now I have another question. In my website template There is Heading 1 and a Heading 2 so my question is how do I delete any sections or headings that I don't need to make it go away on my home page. There is so much and I don't think I need all of it..... Thanks in advance Like if I just wanted an image I'm having a really bizarre problem on my site here http://www.onlykitchens-almunecar.co...signvisit.html On this particular page I have a form that is working fine in firefox but the page won't load in IE only from today and I don't think I have changed anything The form is working fine in firefox and posting ok and returning errors as i am using this form validation script Code: <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"> <!-- /*********************************************** * Required field(s) validation v1.10- By NavSurf * Visit Nav Surf at http://navsurf.com * Visit http://www.dynamicdrive.com/ for full source code ***********************************************/ function formCheck(formobj){ // Enter name of mandatory fields var fieldRequired = Array("Name", "Surname", "Address", "Town", "Province", "Post Code", "Telephone", "Email", "Selection", "Details"); // Enter field description to appear in the dialog box var fieldDescription = Array("Name", "Surname", "Address", "Town", "Province", "Post Code", "Telephone", "Email", "Selection", "Details"); // dialog message var alertMsg = "Please complete the following fields:\n"; var l_Msg = alertMsg.length; for (var i = 0; i < fieldRequired.length; i++){ var obj = formobj.elements[fieldRequired[i]]; if (obj){ switch(obj.type){ case "select-one": if (obj.selectedIndex == -1 || obj.options[obj.selectedIndex].text == ""){ alertMsg += " - " + fieldDescription[i] + "\n"; } break; case "select-multiple": if (obj.selectedIndex == -1){ alertMsg += " - " + fieldDescription[i] + "\n"; } break; case "text": case "textarea": if (obj.value == "" || obj.value == null){ alertMsg += " - " + fieldDescription[i] + "\n"; } break; default: } if (obj.type == undefined){ var blnchecked = false; for (var j = 0; j < obj.length; j++){ if (obj[j].checked){ blnchecked = true; } } if (!blnchecked){ alertMsg += " - " + fieldDescription[i] + "\n"; } } } } if (alertMsg.length == l_Msg){ return true; }else{ alert(alertMsg); return false; } } // --> </script> The weird thing is if i take this code out it loads in IE and when I put it back in it don't. Its been working fine in IE with it in up until today. I need this validation script, and as i said its been working in IE for weeks with it in in. So I suppose what I am trying to get to the bottom of is why it is working in firefox but not in IE? If anyone could help i'd greatly appreciate it! Well, it seemes like it all messes up right now... And I'm going crazy. Take a look at this example page: http://www.stianbl.co.cc/Test2/teknisk_TEST1.html Here, everything should work, since the code is the same I used for this page: http://www.stianbl.co.cc/Test2/teamet.html The problem is: 1. I cant get the hover effect to work on the 3 "pages", or fact-sheets, that should be clickable to dll the .doc file. But its the same way I did on the site "teamet", and it works there. 2.I cant position the header anymore. As it is now, opera reads it as I want it (the header, and navigation part), but IE hides it... Any help would be much appreaciated! hi, I have a css popup window (a lightbox) for videos, opened by javascript. If I want to close it, I've to select the white overlay on the background. On Windows, everything works very well in Firefox, IE and Safari. On Mac, I can't use the flash player controls because when I click on it, the video is closed (I guess because the overlay is selected even if it is behind the video). Isn't strange ? thanks Now this is a strange one. If you visit my site via http://amatoc.com and then you visit it with http://www.amatoc.com You will notice that the site with www added is smaller than the one without! (Occurs using firefox) Anyone have an explanation for this? |
