HTML - Html On Mywebsite Is All Wrong :(

Hi guys
Im new to HTML (relatively) and would greatly apreciate some input or ideas as to what im doing wrong.

I have recently created a website using a CMS (i know you shouldnt but i am learning HTML and will soon be ditching the CMS) and therefore have no control over the CSS

One of the things i am doing on my site is to show artists work off to the world. Therefore they give me the images and i have little to no control over their appearence.

To protect the images i have decided to make the actual art the background of a table and to put a blank image infront of it.

However i have come across a problem. The picture doesnt seem to be showing as the size i am putting into it.

If you go to http://www.dragonstouch.co.uk/page22.htm you will see what i mean.

The code i am using for the top picture is:

<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="520" border="0">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td width="520" background="http://www.dragonstouch.co.uk/userimages/OakdragonCR2.jpg" height="377" < td alt="">
<div align="center">
<div align="center"><img style="width: 520px; height: 377px" height="377" alt="Oak Dragon" src="http://www.dragonstouch.co.uk/userimages/Blank(1).gif" width="520" border="0" /></div>
</div>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
<p align="center"></p>
</table>

Now as far as i can see i have set the height as 377 and the width as 520.

When i rightclick and go to the blank images properties it shows as the height being 377 but the width as 540.

I really have tried everything i can think of and nothing seems to help.
Any ideas would be greatly apreciated.

However due to recent experiences i would also make a couple of requests.

I am trying very hard to learn HTML and i already know that the majority of you if not all of you have a far superior understanding of it than i do. I say this because the forums i went to before this one were very argumentative and tended to talk to me as if i were a moron.

2ndly i am aware that there is no foolproof way of protecting images. I say this because as before when i posed this question to a previous forum they just insisted i shouldnt do it and that images shouldnt be put on the net and would not help me.

I dont mean to be rude or anything like that i just found my previous experience with the html experts very frustrating and therefore i just want to state that i am asking for help, not grief.

I hope this doesnt put you off helping me.

Thanks all in advance.

Hi I have problem with IE7 at present with a HTML table. The problem may span beyond HTML tables but basically the colors are coming out all wrong. Firefox is fine, I'd hardcode bgcolor="red" and it comes out red. In IE7 it comes out blue however Most other colours apart from black and white are the same.

Does anyone know what is causing this?

Hi,

I just changed some content in the middle of a oscommerce php page that I have been working with for a couple of years. I frequently add or change content in a table in this page.

http://www.leavemeb.com/index.php

Today, I added new stuff, pics, etc and used percentages in the tables to space things out well and so that when someone expands or condenses the browser window, the content adjusts accordingly.

Now, in IE it shows up perfectly, yet in firefox on my mac it is very spaced out and can't even fit the whole page across without me having to scroll to the right to see the right collumn.

Can anyone help me see what is not working here? I would be very grateful. I can't seem to see it.

I'm changing from HTML 4.01 to XHTML 1.0 Transitional now, but what are my errors here exactly?

EDIT: Looks like there's only one error now, but please allow me to ask again if solving this one causes new ones.

Hi All,

I was hoping to start a site from scratch and muddle my through any issues that came up.

I came across this article about how to auto size the background image and thought that it would give me a perfect start as I could get a nice background that would auto resize. http://css-tricks.com/perfect-full-p...kground-image/

I dunno what I am doing wrong but the background image never displays.
Is anyone able to create me some test files that I can simply dump on my server and see if it works. Sounds silly i know but I cannot get the image to display and I am not sure why!

Thanks

Hello everyone I am very new to this so be kind!
Why can I only see code on this page and what do I do to put it right?
http://www.test.q-p-e.co.uk/jobby.html

If I type this URL into my browser location bar, it works just fine, and displays the image properly:

http://www.zappos.com/n/multi_view.c...223&view=multi

If I use the same URL in the following code on an html page and render it in the browser, no image displays:

<img src="http://www.zappos.com/n/multi_view.cgi?product_id=7558977&color_id=205223&view=multi">

What am I doing wrong? I've tried encoding it, but that didn't fix the problem.

Can someone please help? I'm sure I'm missing something completely obvious.

Thanks,
Janet

O.K, I'm building my new website and using smart FTP client to upload my files.

Please take a look at the website I'm building, how come it is like this?

www.hautecoutureforkids.com

When I click the .html buttons it works, but I don't want it like that. I want when I type in my website's name, the page appears automatically. I hope my explaination is not confusing.

Please help

Thank you in advance

I have this line of PHP that keeps getting an error message about an unexpected "=" sign.

if ($prevPage > $chapters[$chapter][0]) $out .= "<a href="/book.php?chapter={$chapter}&page={$prevPage}">Prev</a>";

As best I can figure it out the offending "=" is that one in "....?chapter={$chapter..."

Can anyone tell me how to fix this, please?

HTML Code:

Ok, so I was using dream weaver to make a website for a school assignment. Everything was ok until I previewed the page in my browser and everything thing was way of context the table was stretched a lot more than it should have been, but everything looked perfect in design view in dreamweaver.

I understand that the browser is going to be larger and the screen resolution will be away out, but I'm not sure how to fix it, what do I need to change to get a good layout.

Thanks.

Here is the code.
