HTML - Did Php Eat My Stylesheet?

Can someone tell me how to do stylesheets for html and javascript.

I know how to do the files copy in notepad but I need to know what to save them as and what code to use in the head code for the links to the files.

I have done one for css with help from here.

hey guys, i am working on a project for school and trying to go above and beyond the assignment by placing a srollable table data cell in my table.

the web page i am trying to make is for "customer contracts" and i would like to have a "description" section but i dont want a lengthy description making my table huge.

if someone could tell me how to turn a <td></td> into either a scrollable data cell or maybe even a clickable link that brings up a seperate bigger text box (if its not too much coding) that would be great.

heres the code

Code:

<xsl:stylesheet version='1.0' xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="html" version="4.0" omit-xml-declaration="yes" />
<xsl:param name="group" select="//person" />

<xsl:template match="/">
<br />
<br />
   <table width="370" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2">
   <tr>
      <th colspan="5">Contract List</th>
      <th id="total">Total: 
         <xsl:value-of select="format-number(sum($group/amount),'$#,##0')" />
      </th>
   </tr>
   <tr>
      <th>Sign Date</th>
	  <th>Start Date</th>
	   <th>Name</th>
      <th>Address</th>
      <th>Job Description</th>
	  <th>Amount</th>
   </tr>

   <xsl:apply-templates select="$group">
      <xsl:sort select="signDate" data-type="text" order="descending" />
   </xsl:apply-templates>

   </table>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="person">
   <tr>
      <td width="70"><xsl:value-of select="signDate" /></td>
	  <td></td>
      <td width="100"><xsl:value-of select="last_name" />, 
         <xsl:value-of select="first_name" />
      </td>
      <td width="130">
         <xsl:value-of select="street" /><br />
         <xsl:value-of select="city" />, 
         <xsl:value-of select="state" /> 
         <xsl:value-of select="zip" />
      </td>
	  <td></td>
      <td width="70" align="right">
         <xsl:value-of select="format-number(amount,'$#,##0')" />
      </td>
   </tr>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

the code i need to modify it the empty <td></td> tags below <xsl:value-of select="zip" />

thanks in advance for any help and if you know of a link that will help me feel free to post that instead of a lengthy response.

I was wondering if it is required to use the following in XHTML.

This:
HTML Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Instead of:
HTML Code:

<meta http-equiv="Content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />

And...

This:
HTML Code:

<?xml-stylesheet href="style.css" type="text/css"?>

Instead of:
HTML Code:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css" />

Also, what charset do you recommend and should I use XHTML 2.0 instead of XHTML 1.0? Thanks!

As some may know I have been trying tom gte my nav menu code ina style sheet, which I thought would be relatively straightforward with a bit of help.

I approached the support of my program Serif WebplusX5 yesterday and said; "Please look at http://www.brand-newhomes.co.uk/page134.htm
I want to get all the nav code intop an external stylesheet.
The page will load faster (better for SEO)
Every page wont contain the 120 links (better for SEO - google penguin!)
and it will be easier for me to manage and edit without re loading the whole site every time.
All in all it is a must have for me!
I was advised on the forum that X5 would let me do this and that X5 had external stylesheets.

I just need some help with the script and javascript files and links to them.

I have with some help managed to do the CSS ones.

Can you also tell me where the "Optimise your sites for search engines and speed" is located in X%? I have looked in Site Properties and that is not much better than WP10 that I had been using".

This was the reply i got fobbing me off - so much for "support"
"Stylesheets are used in WebPlus, but only as far as listing text styles. This doesn't to extend to fully fledged CSS stylesheets I'm afraid. The navigation bars in WebPlus use Flash and in some cases JavaScript. As the nav bars are in this format, you would wee need some form of 3rd party tool / coding to convert this into a CSS stylesheet. I'm afraid as we are essentially modifying the code that WebPlus provides, here in technical support would not be provide help or support on making a stylesheet from a nav bar - my sincerest apologies for this.

"Optimize your sites for search engines and speed", as advised on the forum, as a catch all term for a number of different parts of the program. the site checker can detect any problems in the site such as long loading times and the Search section of the Site Properties will help you cerate robots.txt file for SEO purposes, amongst other tools."

THIS IS WHY I AM DESPERATE FOR A BIT OF GUIDANCE ON MY OTHER POST AT:
