  1. Wow Thanks. I didn't know you could do that. That will help a lot.
  2. Hi Andrea, I see what your talking about in regards to cleaning up the code. That will come later when I know what I am doing. I took your coding and slowly replace my coding. It did not work for me so I went back and tried to redo my coding. I figured out how to not have the graphics resize on different browsers. I'm starting to understand about putting all the tag info onto the css style sheet. I am having a very hard time trying to split the left and right side of the page. I understand from your coding that I create a div ID for the object on the left side of the page and I do the same for the item I want on the right side. But the divs seem to merge together. It looks great on the screen but as soon as I upload my file it does not work. Sorry to keep coming back with the same problems but I am not getting it. I have uploaded the page here www.nextlevels.ca/about-us.html In dream weaver the text is on the right side of the page. As you can see it merges with the type. Arggg! I should of did this in html I think but I really wanted to get my hands dirty with css. Anyway thanks for all your help.
  3. Hi Wickham, I tried doing what you posted and it didn't work for me, i must of buggered it up someway. There is a additional problem I have at the top right I wanted the put the contact info but it keeps drifting over to the left. I am not getting this CSS stuff. I have a problem with getting a div to stay in one place. Anyway if you could look at items. 1. the form should be on the right side of the page. 2. the contact info that is over top of the logo at the top should be on the right side of the page. Thanks
  4. Wow Wicks your the man. Thanks
  5. I have a website I am working on http://nextlevels.ca/contacts.html I want to put the Form on 2nd half of the page so that they are side by side. Contact info on left side. Form on Right side. I do not know CSS that well. What do I need to do to get that done?
  6. It's from a template. I will try the one you suggested. Thanks
  7. I am trying to have the form I've created emailed to a specific email address. How do I do it? Thanks Here is the form code <div class="wrapper"> <div class="col-1"> <div class="form"> <input type="text" value="Name:" onfocus="if(this.value=='Name:'){this.value=''}" onblur="if(this.value==''){this.value='Name:'}" /> </div> <div class="form"> <input type="text" value="E-mail:" onfocus="if(this.value=='E-mail:'){this.value=''}" onblur="if(this.value==''){this.value='E-mail:'}" /> </div> <div class="form"> <input type="text" value="Fax:" onfocus="if(this.value=='Fax:'){this.value=''}" onblur="if(this.value==''){this.value='Fax:'}" /> </div> </div> <div class="col-2"> <div> <textarea cols="1" rows="1">Message:</textarea> </div> <div class="wrapper"><a href="#" class="link" onclick="document.getElementById('contacts-form').submit()">submit</a><a href="#" class="link" onclick="document.getElementById('contacts-form').reset()">reset</a></div> </div> </div>
  8. So there is no problem with the Search engines finding this copy and understanding it, correct?
  9. hi All, I wanted to know if this layout would hurt a sites chances of being read by SEO spider. It looks funny to me but maybe it's just because I have never seen a site done this way before. I will give you the link to it here. http://www.resourcemail.ca/index.htm I don't understand why the website designer coded all the lines seprately. Any ideas? Should I change it?
  10. Thanks I will use some of your post in my response.
  11. Does anyone know if there is a better way of structuring your website menu, top of the site or left side of site. I have a client that says she was at a seminar a few years back and that they said websites should have the menu's on the left hand site of the page not at the top. I personally do not like left site menus , they take up a lot of space. Anyone have any psychological data or any info on studies done. Thanks PS Love the new site format.
  12. The css code for he box does not have a height in it only width. I tried to add height and set them all the same but it did not do anything. I would rather not redo the boxes. If possible I would just like to adjust the height on each box. Here is the code. /*=========================== TAGS ============================*/ * { margin:0; padding:0; } html, body { background:url(images/tail-body.gif) repeat-x left top #f0f0f0; font-family:"trebuchet MS", Helvetica, sans-serif;

  13. I do not know CSS but I have been muddling through. I want to make these coloured columns an even lengh. How do I do that. Here is the website, look near the bottom you will see what I mean. Thanks
  14. Correct -- just look at the XML file that was generated for you' date=' and add links following the same style.[/quote'] I created a sitemap.html manually. Is there a way I could create an xml sitemap from that? It would save a lot of time.
  15. So if I am using a flash header I should create the header links separately Correct?
  16. I was trying to create a xml sitemap using an online free program. I discovered once I create the sitemap that it only saw the links on the page it did not see any of the header tab links. Is there a way to get the programs to search the flash headers for links as well?
  17. I am a procrastinator I know. A few months back I had asked about using H1 tags for SEO. Well I got frustrated and left it. What I want to know is this. Can I go into the CSS style sheet and change the name of the title tag to H1. And then go into Dreamweaver and select H1 for the Title type or is there more to do than just that? I hope you can understand what I am trying to say. Thanks
  18. Is there anyway that you could give an example of what it should look like. I think maybe I am complicating things. Thanks for all your help.
  19. I am trying to bring my website nearer to the top of the google rankings. 14,000,000th place is not good enough for me anymore. Also I am curious to see what kind of a difference it makes when your h1 tags, page name and change in content really makes. This is the perfect opportunity to find that out. So my question is can someone look to see if I have set this up right. this website is from a template. I have tried to do the h1 tags but I don't think it is done correctly. Can someone look at it and let me know what the correct coding should be. Thank The site is www.urbanmail.ca the coding I have is Direct Mail is Urban Mail
  20. I would be very interested in a tutorial that explains databases. I always have to get outside help when it comes to installing the databases on the server and adding it to the website. Is there a plain English tutorial that explains how to set one up and implement it?
  21. Thanks Falken, I tried a couple of things as well with no luck. It is not very noticeable or at least better than having the length move up so I will leave it as is for a while and try figure it out later. Thanks for your response.
  22. On this one page http://postmarkinternational.com/Fulfillment.html if you look at the right box' corners they are square not rounded like all the rest. Anyone know what I have done wrong? Thanks
  23. Got it to work. Looks great! Thanks for everyones help!
  24. OK I believe I am getting there. I think the problem I am having all has to do with CSS set to effect all pages. How can I get the CSS to effect the columns separately. If you look at the page now http://www.postmarkinternational.com/Shipping.html It looks much better but the changes I have made have effected the rest of the pages as well. How do I make CSS apply seperate column heights to separate pages?
