[url]www.w3c.org[/url] -- a bit academic but the home off the webstandards [url]http://validator.w3.org/[/url] validator from the guys who make the rules with some good features. [url=http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_reference.asp]w3schools html 4 reference[/url] --click on an element to learn more about it. [url=http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-html401-19991224/]w3c html 4.01 specs[/url] --this info should be in your head. [url=http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/]w3c css(stylesheet)validator[/url] --when all the html is correct test your stylesheet(s). When you use the w3c html validator page you can hit 'explain' for better understanding the errors. In your case the error about the background would be [quote]# Line 45, column 64: there is no attribute "BACKGROUND" (explain...). ... <TD width="90" align="left" valign="top" background="images/MID_button_field.jpg">[/quote] ^ When you hit the explain button you will get this:[quote] "?there is no attribute ?FOO? for this element (in this HTML version)? You have used an attribute with an element that is defined not to have that attribute. This is most commonly caused by using vendor-specific attributes without setting the document type appropriately."[/quote] With other words the TD element is not allowed to have the background attribute in html 4.01. I you are planning to maintain the site i suggest you to use an externel stylesheet except when it cannot be avoided. Personally i only use an inline style (such as style="background:...;")while working an a project to see the quickchanges. Most browsers should not have problems with an stylesheet in the head or in an external file. Browsers which don't accept stylesheets in the head or in an external file are outdated an should not be developed for any more. And do not forget the style sheet importancy rule: Style-sheet in the head will override the external file. Inline style overides an sheet in the head. I suggest you to use an external stylesheet for the whole site, it will then be easy to change the color from the whole site at once. Instead off changing it page by page.... For older browsers (NN4) you could write an basic style sheet and copy it to the head. Now browsers who cannot read style sheets from external files will still have an basic style in the head and can be formatted. good luck ------------------------------ Do something usefull: support [url=http://www.justice4pat.com/]Justice for Pat Richard[/url] Loading...
