Validation errors

dummy@example.com (Susie) — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 21:28:22 +0000

I just validated the html of a website of mine and found a whopping 152 errors! After my jaw had stopped bouncing on the keyboard, :o, I discovered that almost all were due to "Nonstandard SMGL characters 147, 148, 133, etc. These were ordinary quotation or apostrophes within normal

paragraphs. My doctype is as follows, and is something I just copy-paste as I don't really understand what the gobbeldygook means! Is this a setting on my computer that generates improper characters? I received the text from the client as Word documents, which I then copy-paste into notepad for HTML coding. HepMe! Alfie

Another Layer Issue

dummy@example.com (newseed) — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 19:07:25 +0000

ww w.koo lertek.com The issue is IE6 this time. When you first load this page, you can see the arch just under the header which displays a splash (not flash) placeholder of a product and details. Once the page is fully loaded (loading the png fix is what it's doing) you will notice that it goes under the actual header wrap. The splash is position absolute and it works fine in all other browsers except IE6. Somehow the spash goes under the header but I am not sure where I might have missed something. I added a red border for id="splash" so you can see that the entire border first appears and then it get lost behind the id="hb-right" Eventually there will be a flash but I need to be able to resolve this first. Thanks.

Menu and Flash Issue

dummy@example.com (newseed) — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 18:06:14 +0000

I have resolved issues like this before but I cannot resolve this one. ww w.koo lertek.com/computer-parts/pc/Lamptron-Slow-Flashing-RingPuk-Random-Colors-205p1149.htm Hover over the left nav and you will see that it goes under the youtube flash. I have set some z-index to no avail. Any suggestions would be grateful.

Can you check font issue

dummy@example.com (newseed) — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 16:50:36 +0000

Can all of you view this page in Firefox and see if the text increases/descreases when you refresh each time? ww w.koole rtek.com/computer-parts/pc/36-SATA-II-Cable-w-Metal-Latch-Dual-Right-Angle-Connectors-UV-Green-170p862.htm The client said this problem occurs but I cannot reproduce the issue. Also, if by chance this does happen to you, please provide the Firefox version and what OS you are using. This does not occur in IE.

create VALID (X)HTML

dummy@example.com (Andrea (formerly Thelma)) — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 13:22:29 +0000

It's important to create a valid HTML doctype, for rendering etc. You can check if your html is valid using W3c schools validator. I just validated my main page! [url]http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.webhost-choice.com%2F;accept=text%2Fhtml%2Capplication%2Fxhtml%2Bxml%2Capplication%2Fxml%3Bq%3D0.9%2C*%2F*%3Bq%3D0.8;accept-language=nl%2Cen-us%3Bq%3D0.7%2Cen%3Bq%3D0.3;accept-charset=ISO-8859-1%2Cutf-8%3Bq%3D0.7%2C*%3Bq%3D0.7[/url]

How is this link working?

dummy@example.com (virtual) — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 14:58:07 +0000

How is this link working? Notice the white space in the value link - I'm confused? If I remove the white space, or add underscores, or download the swf, change the name, and link to it myself, it does not work. Only that setup above works. Why is that? Thanks! They're using swfobject. Is that a function of it?

Kinda New.. Please Help

Hello everyone! Well, it has come time for me to spread my wings and be my own boss. I have purchased a new domain for my business and have looked all over the internet and found the flash template that I want to use: [url]http://www.templatemonster.com/flash-templates/22754.html[/url] So I have downloaded this template and have all sorts of files I am not sure what to do with. I have been working on the sourse code itself and editing the existing information ie: company name, etc... These files are "tfile_main.xml, form05configuration.xml and form05structure.xml. There are more files that I am sure I need to edit, but what I am wondering is after I edit all this information how do I get it to work on my site? I have uploaded some files to test, but nothing shows up. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Site in two languages

dummy@example.com (Helipacter) — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 09:59:03 +0000

Hello, A client wants his new site to be bilingual, meaning that he wants a "magic" button at the top of the banner saying "English version" (the site is originally in Spanish") and viceversa which changes the content of the whole site automatically in just one click. What would be the best apporach to achieve this? Do I have to create everything twice, or create like a parallel site? Thanks Eduardo

How to make a "full-browser" website?

dummy@example.com (jlhaslip) — Sun, 27 Sep 2009 02:54:17 +0000

So, I've started learning HTML/CSS for my next website project... I'm not sure if this is an HTML or CSS issue, feel free to move it. Take a look at [url]http://www.anglianwater.co.uk/[/url]. Notice how the header and background image extend to the ends of your browser (when maximised). How did they do that? Right now my websites have a set height/width, and if there's any room left in the browser it's just a white background ([url]http://www.all-water.org/Home.html[/url]). Edit - after looking at the source I think it has something to do with "width=100%". But I'm still confused as to how the header image repeats like that. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks.
