Gix Paranoid (IV) Inmate From: delucia Insane since: Jun 2001	posted 12-22-2001 02:19 Hi guys, check out my sight. I have some obvious problems right when it loads up. Have any tips on getting rid of the spaces in between the bottons? This is the first time I wrote my own code for a sight. Humble beginnings of course. If anyone has time, can you give me some general tips about the code I wrote, ways to improve it. Thank you

Make your <table> tag say

code:

<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">

Otherwise, browsers will automatically insert a slight margin around each table cell.

Also, you want to close those link tags -- every <a href="blah"> needs a </a>.

Awesome Gix!

Yes, these guys point out good stuff, in the table tag you'll also want to add border="0", the blue boxes will be taken care of by Petskull's border=0 in the IMG tags; and another thing to keep in mind when trying to hold graphical elements together in a table is no breaks in the td tag for example, you have:

<td height="55" width="178">
<A HREF="textures/textures.html">
<img src="images/button2.gif">
</td>

the hard returns, tabs, space in there will cause spaces between your graphics that you're trying to fit together. Do this instead:

<td height="55" width="178"><A HREF="textures/textures.html"><img src="images/button2.gif"></a></td>

You probably don't need all the height and width attributes in your table cells either, you may want to play with those, the graphics will generally hold them open to size but there are special circumstances at times...

You're making some great progress, well done

Now try this...

In between the head tags somewhere (<head></head> ) make yourself a style sheet like so:

<style type="text/css">
p { font-family : verdana;
font-size : 11px;
color : #999;
padding : 10px;
}
</style>

That will tell the browser to take everything in the page that is enclosed in <P> tags and make it 11px Verdana, grey, and put 10px worth of padding around it. Adjust any of those attributes to suit you, then read up on style sheets, you gotta get used to them and learn more. You can also link to them externally so you can have 1 external document where you would change your entire web's style. Like I said, read up on them ASAP. You'll be glad you did. Oh yeah, ask lot's of questions too.

Now, in your content paragraph there it looks like you have a headline, then the content under it:

<p>Sight Updates
Lets see how this works, my html skill is very very very bad. hopefully it improves very soon, please help me!</p>

you might want to try this instead:

<h1>Sight Updates</h1>
<p>Lets see how this works, my html skill is very very very bad. hopefully it improves very soon, please help me!</p>

h1 = a headline

you can slide the definition into your style sheet like above, just replace the 'p' with an 'h1' then tweak the attributes to reflect the attributes you would want for a headline, bigger font maybe, introduce "font-weight : bold;" possibly? The headline tag creates it's own line break also.

If you wanted it like you had it but with a line break, the <br> tag will make your browser show the text after that tag on the next line down. You shouldn't have to use the <br> tag very much if you use headline and paragraph tags which have their own built in breaks. Ex:

<p>Sight Updates<br>
Lets see how this works, my html skill is very very very bad. hopefully it improves very soon, please help me!</p>

cooool.

heh... learned that 'no hard breaks in image slice tables' the hard way....

edit-Gix: you might also want to put the width and height attributes in your image tags.... when your page gets bigger and heavier they'll come in handy!
