HTML - Sizeing Error - Any Ideas?

Hey.
First of all my html etc skills aren't any good.
I have a basic understanding how it works etc, but thats about it :s

So, I know how to use Photoshop, and the basics of dreamweaver.
And this is what i have made so far: http://wasnicht.urli.net/
I have 2 versions, that one, and one which isn't so wide.
But otherwise it's the same, except that in the uploaded version there, i dont have an iframe inside the box.

So my problem here is that whenever I type something in the middle, that exceeds its original size, it expands, thats meant to do so, but it also expands the navigation bar and the rest of the page, leaving it messy and pretty, well...

I'd need some ideas how to fix this, e.g. if I made a index page, just like that, without the text box, and made an iframe, that expands downwards, inside it, put a separate .html (the box).

I'm not gonna rip my ass off trying it, I'd really want some ideas how to construct it.


Another problem I had with the box was that the right side image of the box (the dropshadow is 90 degrees), the shadow wouldnt go with a constant depth from the top to the bottom, so when the image repeated itself i had an ugly "error".
What I did was to remove the shadow of the text box entirely.

My page scrolls and it shouldn't! Any ideas...? or can I not see the wood for the trees?

My previous post meantioned that I have made an advert using HTML in a page using a table and I'm using an IFrame to embed this into my main pages where needed.

I've hit a real problem this time. The table I've made seems to set its own minimum width for cells. As a result this causes the end cell to slightly spill off the edge of my pages. I have manually changed everything I can possibly think of, and nothing seems to work. In what instance would a table do this?

The table is in a form. Inside the table in each cell I have 1 line of text, followed by a input box directly underneath, followed by another input box directly underneith, followed by a text hyperlink directly underneath that.

I have the html in the text file attached if you want to have a little nosy (the javascript file referenced is to periodically change the text of the second box in each cell).

Any ideas would be much appreciated. I've spent far too much time on this advert than I would have liked...

Hi again guys,

I have a new problem this time! On this page on my website:

http://www.modular9.co.uk/artists.html

I have it that when you rollover a link it changes from the artist's name to the collective name and back again. Obviously this causes a few problems such as the length of 'modular9' is shorter than most names so because they jump up a line when it is rolled-over the whole script freaks out and you get a mess.

I was just wondering if you knew of any other better script that would keep the same dimensions of the original text or some other idea you could share?

My script for this is:

<a href="#" class="links" onclick="MM_openBrWindow('artists/richardcook.html','modular9','scrollbars=yes,width=457,height=600')" onMouseOver="this.innerHTML = 'modular9';" onMouseOut="this.innerHTML = 'richard cook';">richard cook</a>

Highlighted red is the main rollover change.

Any help/idea would be most appreciated!

Thanks again

Richard

Hi!
I have a problem here which really really annoys me.
http://members.dodo.com.au/~rouslan/...ite/index.html
when you look at the page it looks great with Firefox and when you look at it with Internet Explore 7 it also looks fine except the main content is not absolutely centered. In Internet Explore 7 you can see that by comparing margins, the left one is shorter than the right one. How can I fix that?

p.s. I am a lot out-of-dated with HTML, because the last time I was constructing web pages 8 years ago, so you might notice in source I use a lot of tables, etc.
If you can suggest I should change all the code, please do or simply paste it here as solution.

Thank you!

What are the common issues with websites not being properly displayed in Firefox? Reason is due to my website being displayed correctly in IE but when switching to Firefox the site suddenly breaks apart. Any ideas?

Hi guys,

I got a quick question. I can't for the life of me understand why the youtube, facebook and twitter images below absolutely insist on having a few pixels of space to the bottom of it's line. It makes it so the following link-text seem to be too low on the line in comparison to the image. If you see in the lower left corner of www.leveldance.com you can see what i mean.

Any ideas? (I have no padding added in the css)


Thanks a million in advance!

Hello there,

My index page validates completely since I tidied it up using html tidy, but when i run it through browsershots it is still completely broken in firefox, opera, etc. basically anything other than MSIE it displays incorrectly.

If anyone could shed any potential light on the situation it would be greatly appreciated. As you can no doubt tell, I'm no expert on creating web pages using html and css and if a page validates but still doesn't work I can't even begin to try and work out what is going on

I did run my css through a validator and it came up with 30 or so instances of the same error, I hadn't ended a dimension value with px, i had just left the number, could this be the culprit? I have since corrected my style sheet so that it validates completely but I cannot upload from my FTP on the PC i'm currently using to see if it affects the browsershots results.

I just wanted to put it out there and see what the ideas were of people who know a lot more about website building than I do.

Bottom line: if i have an html page and a css page that validate 100% using the w3c standard is it guaranteed to work in all browsers, or are there quirky little things I need to be aware of when wanting my site to display correctly in less popular browsers such as safari etc.?

Any feedback is greatly appreciated. :-)

Sincere thanks in advance,



Alex

PLEASE HELP!

I'm having an annoying problem that I'm not understanding why it doesn't work. At this point I'm sure it's something simple I'm overlooking.

I have a horizontal accordion menu, which is using a UL, now in my Services section of the menu, I have another UL that only shows the first item, and the button that is suppose to be there disappears.

According to W3 validation tools, all of my HTML and CSS is error free, so not sure why it's behaving like this.

The website is http://dev.jabrowndesigns.com

Thanks for any advice.

P.S. The menu doesn't work IE for some reason, haven't quite reached it yet as it's not too high on my list at the moment, but if anyone knows off the bat how to fix it, thanks for that too!

Hi

I just developed a my site called www.365telecom.com in a "Firefox browser" but when I open it up in Internet Explore I get a Stack Overflow at line: 0 Error

What do I have to do to make the site run smooth in both browsers?????

I am trying to help a friend with his website after his admin left. The site was set up years ago and was never finished. He had a simple web form that would send an email using the code below. The previous guy had the output going to himself and then he would fwd to the sites owner. Strange but not sure why. I just went in to edit the email address, but now I get a "The requested URL /_derived/nortbots.htm was not found on this server." after hitting submit.

I googled the error and the only thing I can find is that possibly the original page was created in Frontpage and after opening the file in Notepad++ the file lost some FP attribute.

Any ideas what I should try?

Thanks

Hey, I'm new to this but am trying to upload a web photo gallery that I created with Adobe Lightroom. The program creates the index and all necc. files for the webpage. I uploaded these files and am coming up with this error on my domain (www.scottrlacy.com):


Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/www/scottrlacy.com/index.html on line 1

I know it must mean that something is wrong with my 1st line of my index. Here are the first 10 lines for your reference. Any help is greatly apprediated

My website used to work properly but now, the portion that lets people travel into the different portion of the site does not appear anymore on Internet Explorer 8.0.7600?

When editing with my PHP tool, it works. When using Google Chrome it works also.

Therefore, I would say it is a technicality between the version of Explorer.

Where or how can I check this.

Thank you in advance for your help.
