  1. Not sure if there is such a thing unless something hacks (sorry Kyle - CRACKS) into your computer - however, stealing email addresses is highly unethical and sending out unsolicited emails is SPAM.
  2. Whether you put it directly into the code or use the editor - it still ends up in the html of your website.

    styling border boxes

    Your background and border have the same color - you won't be able to see it.
  4. You have all kinds of coding errors/issues. Make sure your code validates - right now you have 36 errors: http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.pueblomotorsportspark.net%2F The tag is deprecated, and you should not be using or non-breaking spaces to position things - that's what CSS (margins and padding) is for. It's always a good idea to start your CSS out with: * {margin: 0; padding: 0;} which sets all browser-specific settings to ZERO, and then you add into your stylesheet whatever you want.
  5. Are you uploading those images? Do you have a link to the site?
  6. Your images are 1599px wide - it's going to force a horizontal scroll bar on anyone with a lower resolution. And I'm not even going to ask why Obama and Hitler are on the same photo...... But I will mention that your doctype is incomplete - go with
  7. Ideally, post a link to the site - if that's not possible, we need all of it - HTML and CSS.
  8. What they said - and, while your code validates - that: is cheating of sorts I have some other thoughts re content as well. I know you didn't ask, but you might find I make a good point (or not). Content like makes me wonder why I first have to go up and then click - just give me a link right there (and please don't say: "click here" - I think most of the world by now knows that an underline means "Click Here") even something like "See our Continuing Education Courses offered for hair dressers." should work nicely. The site starts out with describing the services offered to clients - haircuts and such, which is fine - it's a hair salon. But there is nothing separating that from the continued ed stuff. First I thought she was teaching her customers now to fix their own hair or something - it should be made clear that those courses are for other hairdressers - that detail could even go in the link on top - you have enough room.
  9. The script font is very hard to read, the regular font too small. And I don't get the point of the repeated 'cards' - especially since they all show the same words on them. And I'm having trouble making a connection between needle point and wiping someone's you-know-what. And then there are the validation errors.....
  10. You need to use the HTML file that lm created - not your old one. Yours doesn't have the proper divisions, etc. to work with the stylesheet. Use her html page, just update it with your content.
  11. A link for my bookmark collection
  12. Your code is a total mess - you have a second doctype thrown in the middle of your body, several body tags, a random assortment of tables, a mix of upper and lower-case tags (that's not a problem in itself, but will cause you problems for sure - stick to lower case tags!)
  13. You're not being thick - you're new. Work through some of Stef's tutorials to get an understanding of HTML and CSS - it'll help you understand what lm is talking about: http://www.killersites.com/forums/topic/76/where-can-i-learn-web-design/
  14. Whether your image has text on it or the picture of a doghouse, the positioning will work the same. You can apply classes or IDs to the code, and then use your CSS to position the image via that class/ID. However, since you're talking about a text image: It's always better to add text as text. Not only is it easier to update, an image can also not be read by search engines or screen readers. Basically the only good reason to use text images is if you're using a special font for a header - but even then you should always have the text itself presented on the page (hidden by the image, but available for search engines, screen readers, and those with images turned off).
  15. I started looking into it - but it's such a mess with all the table cells.... which makes another excellent point to NOT use tables - they create a ridiculous code-mess which makes updating more difficult, and trying to adjust stuff a major PITA. I managed to get the navigation grid to align with the top by: /blank-spacer.gif" width="5" height="5"> MORTGAGES And to your internal styles, add: #leftnav {margin-top: 30px;} that should do it.
  16. I'm talking about a site that I'm just visiting - as a normal surver - nothing I have any privileges for.
  17. You know, those where you enter one url but you land somewhere else instead - is there some feature, in FX maybe, that stops the forward so I could see the actual page I'm aiming for?
  18. You might just have to take that off temporarily so you can test the page. Or just create a test page without the login requirement.
  19. I'd say he means Northern Exposure has a new meaning to him and his family now, that they are living in Alaska - and exposed to those Northern weathers.... Men - no wonder they cannot understand woman; obviously, they don't even understand each other
  20. Navigation is a list of items - that's why navigation menus should be coded as a list. HTML tags have semantic meaning. Of course you can style your titles with an inline tag, but there are tags which assign specific importance to titles - that's helpful for search engines - for detailed discussions, see Follow the links in the first two posts I thought you had posted a link, but if so, then maybe our Spambot got it. Can you repost, but include spaces to prevent that - for example: www. ki llersi tes.com (break up any words that could be found by google, etc.)
  21. and that's my opinion!!!
  22. You can do whatever you want to - but if you should decide you want to do/learn it the right way, you may want to use divs for layout and tables for tabular data.
