What if we instead make the link to them in this tread a real link? That way, if someone does happen to look for this guy via some search engine - they might just stumble upon this thread and read all about his ethics?

Ben, they did do some changes to the code:

There's some great info here: http://www.killersites.com/business/ The podcasts at the bottom should be VERY helpful.

You don't have to create the folder remotely - just right-click your local version of that folder and "Put".

Frameset?

Where's your doctype? Do you validate?

Same thing happened to me with the armadillos down here...

Nice work, considering you just started. Here is my list of suggestions: Ditch the XHTML doctype and go with HTML - for an explanation, read the sticky in the HTML/XHTML forum here. 'click here' is kind of so 90s --- most folks nowadays know what to do when they see an underline s are meant to be used in order of importance - so you make your most important title on your page , the second most important and so on - you jump from to Don't use s inside s - is only for a line break - enclose every paragraph in tags, and use your CSS to add spaced between the paragraphs. Don't do - make is and then style that in your CSS. Avoid inline styling - unless it's really something that will only happen one time on your entire site. Drop the hit counter, too - it's amateurish. And whatever LSW said - btw, I'm not colorblind, but that red on black is kind of hard on my eyes, too. You have a few empty divisions - what's the point of those? But other than that, VERY nice work for a first.

Besides, every so often, I come across a site that is either coded very poorly or just looks like cr@p - and that takes my breath away and shuts me up for a minute - so I have zero carbon dioxide emissions during that time which helps to balance things overall.

Using color names may be well-known, but is not the ideal solution - and limiting. Hex colors and/or RPG Colors are the most useful. I would hope that any webdesigner who has been building sites for years has been using CSS for years. What baffles me is that there are still so many out there who believe that XHTML is some new standards -it's not. For a regular website, HTML4.01 strict is the ideal doctype - Read up on it in one of our stickies: HTML or XHTML

Why do you think you're limited by Adobe-defined layouts? Check out Idea 22

Does your firm have an Intranet - or simply, just shared drives that are accessible to everyone? Put the site there. Uploading files to a server does not screw things up - if things appear screwed up after they've been uploaded, then either one forgot to upload all the parts, and/or the site wasn't done right to begin with.

Wickham gave you a validating solution in his link a couple posts up. What I was referring to is this - and maybe I have it wrong: > </pre> <table width="100%" style="border:0;background:#f5f5f5;"> Hand Tied Bouquets start from £40 Flower : Roses Lillys Quantity : </table> I was thinking that having the table start and end inside the form tags was incorrect - but I may have been thinking wrong - someone enlighten me, please

You have to upload it somewhere and then link to it.

Don't know - I use my own space for testing - I think most the regulars here have their own. The free spaces often come with adds and limitations, but someone here may have a recommendation for you.

I'm still not totally clear what you are doing - so without seeing it, it's hard to say. How about a test-page?

Your form tags are still messed up - you need to (open and) close each form within its cells. You have one open and a couple random closing form tags.

lm, I read the quotes on your blog, and I swear, some of them could have come from here.... Maybe we need to start our own Killersites collection?

As Wickham said - scrollbars can vary from 16 to 19 px - I'd go with 25 just to be sure. I'd really like to see a link to the page you're working on.

Does the border have to be limited to 10px? And if so, what is supposed to be on the outside of the border? If the 10px aren't a must, just create a wrapper at a width of 1024 px and color the body for the 'border'. However, if you design for a width of 1024, than anything viewed with a resolution of 1024 AND less will have a horizontal scroll bar.

Why in the world would a California man go to Alaska in the winter???? .....but then, mental problems might explain his criminal behavior, too.............

If you're still talking about the page you linked to in your intital post here - you only have an in there - no other s.....

But considering that an ID is supposed to be used only once on any given page, that kind of seems redundant - not wrong, but overkill. Or not? However, for a class, it makes perfect sense to me.

Which is just one of the many reasons I am sooooooo happy not to be living in Indiana any more - or Germany for that matter, their weather isn't any better, either.

I cannot even imagine. Fuinny so, the natives in San Antonio wear heavy parkas, earmuffs, and mittens when the harsh Texas winter's hit and the temperatures drop to a frigid 40?F.... We really laughed at them during our first winter here - even so my toes sometimes got a little cold in my sandels in the early hours.
