Originally I did everything in Notepad. Then I used firstpage 2000, which changes thing a lot less than The front page series, to get the code formatted with nice tabs... LOL It capitalized everything. It has an option to decapitalize tags, whew, right? Nope, Frontpage, even 2003, once again capitalizes all my tags. I've gone back and forth with this capitalized tags thing several times... Hence the mish mash of tag capitalization. Once I got past 10 pages, I couldnt keep track of the pages for editing. So, I started using FP2003. I still dont like how it's design mode doesnt really gel with it's preview mode, but some of it's features are kinda handy. I also found a <fomt> tag with the validator... I should have looked for the end tag and deleted that as well. I am pretty sure I meant <fo[b]N[/b]t>... LOL. Right now, on my own time, I am working in notepad with a couple of pdf's I downloaded to make my css conversions... the auto converters just kinda leave me dumbfounded as to what was done. And, they dont necessarily make the right changes. Good for learning what the program thinks should be done though. I've got a couple pages looking the way I almost want them to be... but, I know I am not utilizing the true power of css. I've started by doing a search for <font> and exchanging it for a <span class=> or <p class=>. And maybe a <div> or two. Going back through the pages with notepad, I can see where extra tags have been generated... For example, I found a <div align="center"> followed by a <center>. But, right before hitting the delete key I remember reading how some browsers dont support the div align feature... Am I reading old info dressed up as new? My only concern right now is older browsers, I keep reading about how not all browsers are css compatible... fud, fiction, or fact? [quote]As for the background issue. If you replace background="..." with style="background:...;" you should not have any errors. I have no idea why the validator doesn't like the background element, I thought in loose HTML 4.01 it was acceptable. You never know, now you have a fix.[/quote] Can I do that inline? or do I have to declare it in my <head> or external css file first? Will funky browsers recognize it? Oh by the way, I hate that element... probably one of the things making my page look dated. It just seems awkward with just a background color... and I'm not sure I know what else to put in it's place... ______________ Is This Thing On?
