[css-d] What did I leave out of horiz nav list?

2012-09-13 Thread Kim Brooks Wei

Hi People,

http://j.mp/QSEOUP

What is a good way to center the left graphic vertically and horizontally?
I'm having trouble with the top nav links. How do I getthe white 
background on mouseover to extend all the way to the edges of the 
blue background? IDK why I couldn't make this work.


Grateful for help as always,
Kimi

Re: [css-d] Grfx/text alignment

2012-01-10 Thread Kim Brooks Wei
Tim, please don't judge me harshly. Tim Arnold sent me a link to a 
video that explains in 3 minutes what left, right and center 
alignment are. He also directed me to use a Wordpress feature that 
could have easily been handled in code. I'm not sure how I'm supposed 
to respond to help like that - I did the best I could.

Sure there are ways to do that but not knowing what you already

Kim,

I see this div wrapped around your image:

div id=attachment_84 class=wp-caption alignnone style=width: 310px

The presence of the class alignnone suggests that you have not
aligned the image in your WordPress editor.  You have added a class to
your img tag attempting to do so, but that div will confound your
attempts for sure.  Open the post in WordPress, click on your image,
and then click the align right button on the editor toolbar.

Google turned this up which may help:

Re: [css-d] text jumped down (w/url)

2011-10-18 Thread Kim Brooks Wei

Michael, thanks for the pointers, they were very helpful!

This isn't my site, just one I'm fixing and I don't have a lot of 
experience with table layouts so didn't immediately spot that the 
content of those nav columns was separated from its graphics. What a 
peculiar thing to do.


Didn't notice re the 'corporate mails' image either, so thanks for 
this too. Did notice that the link for it is a dead link (to a web 
page, not an email either). Another strange thing.


My job was merely to style the Events box in that bottom nav section 
of the home page. The corrected version is here now 
http://is.gd/sUjOC6


Thanks again. All best,
Kimi

Kimi,
1. Your webpage is in a layout using tables. (This isn't the most
desirable way to layout a website, usually tables are used to show
data information.)

When I think of a website layout, I usually try to think of an Excel
sheet. You know how when you change the height of one cell, it changes
the height of the entire row?

This is what's happening with your text. The text in the far column,
News and Events, is in the same row as the images. The text
explaining the images is in the next row. The News and Events text
is making the height of the entire row taller. This moves the
explanation of the images farther down.

So to fix this, just move the information explaining the images into
the same td as the images.

2. You may have to look on your server where all the files for the
website are stored. It may be in a different place, may have been
deleted, or never existed before.

Side Note: I noticed that the hover image for Corporate Mails was
not showing up.

Good luck with the site!

Sincerely,
Michael Fokken

2011-05-02 Thread Kim Brooks Wei
Chetan, thanks for your interest, but you're getting hung up on the 
word block. I explained that block is a term in layout design which 
means a group of words. If you're interested in the word's history 
and publishing applications please email me off list.


What I'm trying to accomplish is:

elephant and h5  to the left
join (which should appear as a short-width button) to the right
both elements centered to the page.

I will try the couple of solutions that were posted already and see 
how they work.


Best,
Kimi

So when you say that you want it to appear as a single copy block, do
you mean you want to style the logo and the h5 together and give them
the appearance of a block? The solution to that would depend on what
style you wish to apply. You have to be more clear.

[css-d] help centering items

Hi People,

At http://bit.ly/k6aFjU

I'm trying to get the following to happen, and can't work it out for 
some reason:


I want Metro New Jersey Green Drinks 3 Gatherings - You're Invited! 
and the elephant to appear as a single copy block - to the left of 
the Join box (another copy block).


I want both blocks to be centered on the page.


2
At http://bit.ly/jwgrff (home page, same site)

Is there a way to get the picture to float centered in the middle of 
the page? When the window expands, I don't want the picture to end up 
very far to the left of the sidebar - it looks very odd that way.

Chetan, copy block is a typesetting, or publishing term, meaning a 
block of text. Text can be also referred to as copy, as in 
copywriting). The block of text can be one, or several paragraphs, 
long.

Thanks Chetan, adding a more specific declaration works a charm! For 
some reason I did not know that if I fail to add a hover declaration 
to an ID when I have specified an a selector, that the difficulty I 
encountered will occur.


I added the new declaration you suggested below #copy a (line 225) 
because it fits better there. The 136 grouping are universal 
declarations. Only styles I use throughout my site reside there.


All the best,

Re: [css-d] Right column drooping

2011-01-07 Thread Kim Brooks Wei
Tim, thanks for pointing out my structural error. I did put both 
columns inside the same div, where they ought to be. Floating both 
columns left doesn't work though because the columns won't respect 
the boundaries of my green box anymore.


Chetan, the positioning you suggest is a good idea but 1) it only 
works for that page and breaks on other pages where the top of that 
column needs to start at a different height + 2) the rightcopy also 
fails to obey the boundaries of my green box.


In other words, I'm still looking for the fix I need.

Kimi


.rightcopy {
margin-left: 45%;
position: absolute;
top: 10em;
width: 45%;
}

OK, everybody, thanks for the guidance.

Kevin, the clear-fix method you provided worked although the exact 
code you sent wasn't a fit. I found alternative code here 
http://perishablepress.com/press/2008/02/05/lessons-learned-concerning-the-clearfix-css-hack/ 
. It works great and my page is working.


BTW, clear: both didn't work although I tried several permutations of 
this method before reaching out to the list.


Thanks again, all the best,

  The other is to apply a clearing class to the container such as the one

 from OOCSS:

.clear-fix{clear:both;display:block;visibility:hidden;overflow:hidden;height:0
 !important;line-height:0;font-size:xx-large;content: x x x x x x x x x x x
 x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x
 x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x

I don't see any classes that are related in your page / stylesheet.

In principle, it should work, independently of classes vs id. The 
thing that might be tripping you, as Alan alludes, is specificity. 
You make your selectors very specific already. [1]

[css-d] See only 1/2 of liquid layout at 800x600

2010-09-02 Thread Kim Brooks Wei

Hi All,

If my layout is liquid - that means to me that it resizes to fit any 
browser window - why is it that I can see only part of it (and no 
scroll bar to see the rest) at lower resolutions?

Re: [css-d] See only 1/2 of liquid layout at 800x600

2010-09-02 Thread Kim Brooks Wei

Hey David,

Thank you! I shot you an email thanking you for this layout a couple 
of days ago. It's probably sitting in your trash folder where a lot 
of my emails end up being filtered : (.


Checking another site at http://bit.ly/ajpTTb I have the same problem 
at lower resolutions. Is it just the way my Mac is rendering those 
screen resolutions or is half of this page really missing too (and no 
h scrollbar here either)?

I don't know Kim. This may not be the best solution to hit the plant 
[1], but the nav does drop in any width window and there is a 
vertical scroll bar at 800. Adding soft-hyphens to the long words in 
the red-like blocks will keep them from escaping at 800.

[css-d] nth child styling broke with change to class

2010-09-02 Thread Kim Brooks Wei
I have nth child even-odd styling on this page set up as an ID. When 
I changed this to class so I could set up a second styled section 
farther down the page the styling broke. Any ideas as to why?

I am not quite sure what you mean? And it may well be that I simply 
do not understand the question or the relevant CSS specifications.


It would seem to me, If you set it to a class then it must be a 
class in /both/ the CSS /and/ the markup. And either way -- class or 
id --

that attribute is not supported in any version of IE-- including IE/8.

Hmmm, Hellen Keller,

I did change both my markup and css. I truly don't know why an id 
would work but not a class. Is there something else IE consumes 
without indigestion that will permit me to color the background on 
every second listing in a ul?

Open the page in an 800 window in Mac FF, Camino, Mac Safari, Mac

to the right [ I did not look at it in any version of IE and I do 
not have Linux ].

Hi David and all,

I had some time to look into this after replacing my failing Mac. It 
seems that basically my copy is sliding underneath the tiger when 
window size is reduced - is that the problem you were referring to? 
What can I do to make the copy sit on top of the graphic so when it 
slides into it the copy will be visible on top of my tiger?


Something else . . . I'm trying to make my layout more liquid. At 
full screen mode in 1440 x 900 I have the page set up so it stretches 
the width of my screen but when I reduce the browser window width I 
get a horizontal scrollbar. I would like the width of the main 
content column to reduce instead so I don't end up needing to scroll 
horizontally. How would I do that?


Thanks as always,
Kimi

Blake, that's a fantastic article you sent me - thanks for it. While 
I pick it apart I still need my site to be functional and it isn't, 
entirely. So, can you help me figure a way to get the beige 
background and its contents to either 1) slide to the left right on 
top of the tiger when browser width is reduced or 2) similate the 
following?


The following: I think I found a way to make the menu bar drop down 
out of sight when browser width is greatly reduced.


On another front, woe is me. I didn't want horizontal scrollbars and 
now I don't get them so in certain browser windows I can only see 
part of my text. How do I get them back?

Hi David (and all),

Your fix worked great and now I am IE 6 compatible. A dubious 
distinction, but one I'm very happy with nonetheless. Thank you!

I'm never sure what the protocol is for expressing thanks for help I 
get through the list. Every once and a while the suggestions I get 
here don't solve my problems directly but most of the time they are 
entirely spot-on. On the rare occasions when I don't get a fix 
directly the suggestions I do get always help me establish the 
direction I ought to be pursuing to find a fix on my own. I am very 
grateful for the help that's come to me from the list. Thanks to all 
. . .

Cheers,
Kimi

Our dear friend in Redmond does not support position:fixed; nor does 
it support min/max width or height.
The simplest solution is to feed IE/6 position absolute rather than 
fixed; and feed IE/6 a fixed width that does not draw a scroll bar 
at 1024 [see fixes below].

You need to set the width on #page rather than #main if you want .back

I've checked the first page, but I don't see a anchor in a heading there.
Where is it?
In any case, it appears that links are not style via font-size or else so
they should inherit the value set for the headings.

At http://bit.ly/ad7AEl  please compare the headings in the Green 
Drinks section. I just noticed that viewed links seem to be the size 
of other headings, but the a links aren't behaving this way.

   Also, on the contact page at http://bit.ly/93ynDM the visited link
  text color is default blue. Why is it not picking up the style from
  the divs within which it is contained?

I don't see that problem either. The link below the map - once visited -
appears blue (FF3/Win).

Strange, I thought I saw this behaviour on both contact and events 
pages which both have maps with links but now I see it only on the 
events page at http://bit.ly/cC3Bpi . The blue of the link here is my 
browser's default blue but it should be styled as it appears at 
http://bit.ly/93ynDM with a different blue.

[css-d] Footer, page nav, background

2009-03-21 Thread Kim Brooks Wei
Hi, I'm looking for help with the following items. The background 
needs to be checked in the IE/win and Linux browsers.


BACKGROUND
http://thewei.com/sandbox/scenter

The background should expand to fill the entire window, be fixed and 
not repeat. Do I have it coded correctly to do all this?

FOOTER
http://thewei.com/sandbox/scenter/contact.php

The footer on the contact page (where the content is short) doesn't 
stick to the bottom of the page as it should. On other pages this 
isn't an issue. The misbehaviour is visible in IE 6/7.

PAGE NAV
http://thewei.com/sandbox/scenter/fljewishcomm.php

I had this page nav set as fixed not realizing that IE couldn't 
handle it. Now it's absolutely positioned and scrolls. Do other 
all-css options exist to make nav links stick to one spot when page 
is scrolled? Other non-css alternatives?

CSS NOT VALIDATING
Because of the inline-block statement on this ul, the stylesheet will 
not validate . . .
ul#sitenav li {
display: inline-block;
height: 1%;
}


TIA,
Kimi

[css-d] background attachment?

2009-03-20 Thread Kim Brooks Wei
Q1
Is the way I set this up as a background image the same as using a 
background-attachment? If not, how would I change this to conform? IE 
choked on my last version of this layout. I had the tiger as a fixed 
background img which was supposed to be left 75 top 30 but the tiger 
ended up over on the right side of the page.

Q2
How can I get a border around that image which will stay fixed in the 
same position as the image itself?

Big headache, I know. All help appreciated as always,
Kimi

I think the easiest way to do this would be to edit the image in an 
image editor and add the border that way. Then you might have to 
readjust your positioning slightly to account for the increased 
width and height.

OK, this seems to have worked Michael, thanks. Now my image is 
repeating vertically in IE. How can I stop it from doing that? Should 
I be worried that the image doesn't appear at all in IE 8?

[css-d] Make layout more liquid?

2009-03-17 Thread Kim Brooks Wei
Hi People,

So, I finally seem to have worked out something with this layout. 
I've put the type into a resizeable div but it's not as liquid as I 
would like it to be: when I reduce the browser width the right side 
of the content div disappears. How could I make it scale better? Or 
can't I?\

http://thewei.com/sandbox/tw2

Thanks as always,
Kimi

[css-d] My layout needs your help

2009-03-13 Thread Kim Brooks Wei
Hi List Friends,

Here are the problems I'm having with my own site's layout. Perhaps 
you can help me resolve them.

My h1 doesn't appear inline as I want it to in the page's first paragraph.

Side navigation is giving me a bit of trouble. The content type 
scrolls up and down, but I want the navigation to stay in place in 
one spot on the page (like the tiger does). I tried a few ways to get 
this effect without success. The content type will need to indent on 
the right as it passes by the side navigation bars - as the bars 
protrude into the content type space.

Solutions accepted with gratitude. Be well!
Kimi

Re: [css-d] BG doesn't cover desired area

2009-02-05 Thread Kim Brooks Wei
Here's another way of explaining my problem:

I want a plain blackbg #0E0F0F to sit behind .spacedps and .content 
and I thought I'd coded my page to work this way but it doesn't work. 
The blackbg appears behind .spacedps but not .content.

The reason I don't put it in the bigcol div is that I want the footer 
and btmnav to not have the blackbg; I wish the tiled bg to show 
behind these elements.

[css-d] Same declarations, different results

2008-10-06 Thread Kim Brooks Wei
Hi All,

At http://bc4hkids.com/events/ I have defined h2 and h3 under the 
turqbox div. The two headers are identical in every way except for 
margins. But, they don't render the same. Type in h2 is larger than 
in h3. And, the padding renders differently in each.

Does anyone spot why this may be happening?

Incidentally, I wrote a while back asking if someone could see why my 
character codes won't work in many of the pages on this site. I can't 
code an exclamation mark or a parenthesis because the individual 
characters of my code show up  # 38 ; instead of the symbol I want 
them to reveal. I'm wondering if there's a declaration in my css that 
I unwittingly evoked which is causing this odd behaviour. Or 
something.

As always, thanks for tips and assistance.
Kimi

[css-d] Bizarre validation messages

2008-08-29 Thread Kim Brooks Wei
Hi People,

I'm getting bizarre message from the validator when I try to validate 
my css for
http://blackboxnyc.com/soulsearching/ and
http://blackboxnyc.com

I get error message that I have many errors and wrong values entered 
- which I don't see in my files. When I enter the uri 
http://blackboxnyc.com/soulsearching/soulsearching.css directly into 
the validator page http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/ I get messages 
that my page cannot be found.

But the page is accessible directly through its URI and my html pages 
are styled. When I validated a different page http://thewei.com it 
validated with no problem.

Maybe something in my code is choking the validator. I've entered a 
bug report but would like suggestions from the list as to what that 
might be.

All help welcome and appreciated, as always. Be well,
Kimi

[css-d] Finishing details

2008-06-07 Thread Kim Brooks Wei
Hi People,

I'm converting an older layout and have been doing OK, but I broke a 
couple of things. Anything I posted earlier, I managed to solve but I 
could use some help to fix these issues.

In this interim layout the lnav and announce boxes look as they're supposed to:
http://njlada.com/sandbox

In the new layout at http://njlada.com and links which spring off from there:

lnav is broken in places - the nav links are abbreviated [for 
example, see http://njlada.com/c/contact.php]

announce has no beige shading and is too wide.

I also want the btmnav containing box to extend the entire width of 
my #contentwrap. Is there an easy way to do this?

Thanks, be well,
Kimi

[css-d] Block elements blooey

2008-05-20 Thread Kim Brooks Wei
I've gotten myself in trouble with this layout, and I can't figure my 
way out of it, although I've been trying for a while.

This is what I want the layout to be:

* Textured body borders right and left and ivory content box centered 
between them
This works now but I don't why. I can't see where I've 
defined right and left margins.
* The logo should center to the page
* The left nav box is in the right place
* Everything else should center to the area between the left nav box 
and right border of content box.
This isn't happening. Some items almost center, some don't 
center at all. Apparently the uls are pushing their contents to the 
right.

TIA for help.

What do you mean ?
The div is explicitly set to be 100% wide (that is, as wide as the
parent block element, in this case body). It does that, correctly.

Philippe, the div expands to the body width whether I set the width 
to 100% or not. The width is now not specified and the same thing 
happens.

#artbody has 'layout'

I'm sorry, I didn't get this reference.

[css-d] css revamping troubles

2007-01-24 Thread Kim Brooks Wei
http://blog.kim.thewei.com/

I'm revamping the css for this blog and am having a few troubles.

1I was able to use Phillipe's guidance to eliminate my 
transmogrifying nav buttons on the homepage which parents this blog 
[thewei.com]. But I can't use the same information he supplied to get 
rid of the link border for the add to technorati favorites img in 
this sidebar. I've tried every way I can think of, but the 
bottom-border on mouseover persists in Firefox.

2I want my header and description to be overlaid on the image. 
I've made several attempts to get rid of the
background but it won't go away.

3 The php header code calls up a kubrickbg.jpg which places a 
gray border to the right and left of the #page area [the content 
area, basically]. The border has disappeared. Where did it go?

[css-d] Another cleanup tip needed

2007-01-17 Thread Kim Brooks Wei
http://www.thewei.com/sandbox/uajx/about.php

With the help of Gunlaug and the stupendous article he referred me 
to, I've cleaned up my code considerably and have gotten rid of a lot 
of the little buggy issues which were troubling me.

However, I still cannot get my three content boxes to line up with 
each other along a horizontal line. In fact, in several browsers 
including FF and Safari on OSX the center content box shoots right up 
into the header area. I tried separating the header from the rest of 
the content using clear: both but this didn't appear to accomplish 
anything. The center content box belongs to the flow which starts 
with the header. How can I get browsers to recognize that each the 
header and center content areas are distinct, although they are 
connected?  The right and left columns are less problematic and 
render as expected in most browsers.

The remaining IE 5.x issue I'm having is still with my nav buttons in 
the left column. They don't work right in IE 5.1 . It seems to me 
that I have arranged them in a straightforward way and they ought to 
work. It troubles me that they don't, and that I don't know why. 
Should I forget about this or is it worth my time and the time of a 
mentor, to figure this out and fix it?

Best,
Kimi

Thanks for cleanup tips. I did get rid of voice-family hack and used 
a different one. The article you pointed me too is stupendous. Thank 
you so much.

I still cannot get my three content boxes to line up with each other

shoots right up into the banner  [header box]. I tried separating the 
header from the rest of the content using clear: both but this didn't

So, I still need to line my content boxes up along a horizontal line.

  I also would like to know what's messing up my nav buttons in IE 5.1 
. It seems to me that I have arranged them in a straightforward way

  Most other problems in older IE/win seems to be related to box model
(W3C vs. IE quirks mode) differences. Good article (IMO) on the subject
here...
http://www.456bereastreet.com/archive/200612/internet_explorer_and_the_css_box_model/

IE5.5 may also lose a declaration or two because you use the
'voice-family' hack. Better use another hack if you need any.

http://www.thewei.com/sandbox/uajx/contact.php

This page renders OK  in Linux and Mac browsers, also IE 7.

I'm having only one trouble in IE 6 :: Border shows on center and 
left content boxes when it ought not to show. I can fix this by 
setting to bg color [white]. Border color is set to transparent now. 
Is transparent an incorrect selection?

In IE 5  5.5 PC there are other issues
- center container is higher than right and left content boxes
- banner logo is lefted [ought to center]
- banner bg doesn't show
- 5.01 peculiarity :: leftnav buttons too spaced out and bottom 
border is separated from bottom of last button [should be stuck to 
the bottom of the button]
- 5.5 peculiarity :: leftnav buttons aren't centered. They are 
righted in the right content box.

Help cleaning up these issues much appreciated!
Best wishes,
Kimi

Re: [css-d] Body BG not showing in IE5 Mac

2006-12-02 Thread Kim Brooks Wei
Thanks for helpful suggestions everyone and David, thanks for screenshots.

Phillipe, I rearranged my code a little bit and the footer is now in 
the flow of my text. Now I have another problem. IE 5 is absorbing 
elements of #footer's bg. The bg has become invisible and the blue 
type is faded. Apparently the overlay I've got on top of the bg is 
obscuring some of the dots in footer's type.

Another problem in IE Mac: the 'footer' is positioned at the top of 
the #box container.
IE Mac cannot position absolute an element using 'bottom' without 
knowing the height of the container.

You leave your footer inflow, you've already included a 'clearing 
element' before it.

Philippe

[css-d] Body BG not showing in IE5 Mac

2006-12-01 Thread Kim Brooks Wei
I have a semi-transparent bg graphic produced in photoshop. In the 
body tag this graphic is laid over a bg color.

body {  font-size: 75%;
font-family: 'Lucida Grande', Verdana, Arial, Sans-Serif;
background: #C6CB81 url('/grfx/blubg.gif') 0 0 repeat;
color: #6F9FC0;
text-align: center;
text-decoration: none;
}

  In Safari and FF  [Mac] I get the effect I want: the bg color shows 
through the image and I get a nice textured color combo. But this 
effect doesn't show up in IE. In IE only the color #C6CB81 shows [an 
olive color].

Can I code something to make the overlay work in IE the way it does 
in the other browsers? Incidentally, I'd like to know how the 
background and overall site looks to PC users . . .

I'm getting an error message which doesn't match with my code. Please 
take a look and see if you can find what the validator is choking on 
http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fnjlada.com%2Fplus%2Feventswarning=1profile=css2usermedium=all

ALSO

I attempted to code a border which should go around each of the two 
sections on this page. The border doesn't appear. What did happen 
after I coded in the border on css and html files is that the 
backgrounds for each of my two headers drew together. In Safari they 
abut each other contiguously now, whereas before they didn't. I would 
like to know why this happened. I'm also interested in knowing what 
is the proper way to draw two headers together in this fashion, and 
how I might make my border appear. Thank you!

Code for the border:

.htwobox {
 border: 1px solid #6681aa;
 padding: 6px;

Re: [css-d] Page border up in the air

2006-09-18 Thread Kim Brooks Wei
Thanks for your help, Francky. I followed your advice for the IE fix. 
My pages  don't jump in IE 5.2 Mac now. I wonder how they're 
looking look in IE 6.x.

The gap between the bottom of my body border and browser window still 
appears in Safari and FF. Interestingly enough, I'm not having 
problems with this in IE 5.2. I can get rid of the gap in  FF by 
adding a min-height selector to the content div tall enough to push 
the border down [can't get rid of it in Safari at all].  I know 
something is fundamentally wrong with my code -- a page border should 
border an entire page, and not just part of the page.

Additionally, I've discovered that an ordered list on doesn't 
function as an ol. There are no numbers!

OL at http://www.njlada.com/c/directors.php

One more suggestion. I notice that in IE the pages are jumping up and
down. In this case, it can be resolved by giving a clear: both to the
footer, and resetting the padding-top of the footer to zero. Then there
is always some distance between the left side logo and the bottom colors
of the page.

[css-d] Page border up in the air

2006-09-17 Thread Kim Brooks Wei
My page border works on three sides but on the bottom it doesn't 
work. The border is there, but it's not flush with the page bottom. 
This did work until I broke it, but I can't recreate the working 
version. If anyone cares to give a look and see what will fix this, 
I'll appreciate the help.

On the home page the border is placed correctly. Same css  file is being used.

Best,
Kimi

[css-d] Site revision/check

2006-08-30 Thread Kim Brooks Wei
Please check this site for me.

http://carolisol.com

I've checked Mac browsers -  Safari, iCab and Firefox and would like 
other browser checks

I was having trouble with two issues in IE which I've attempted to 
correct. I'd like to know if I was successful:

1) the logo showed with a border and

2) the table at the top of the page on http://carolisol.com/book.html 
was hitting the left margin instead of being centered in the page as 
it ought to be.

Thank you for this check and helpful guidance on last review.

Kimi


NB - David Laasko, if you read this, I tried emailing you but 
couldn't get my messages through.

[css-d] page won't validate, strange error message

2006-08-20 Thread Kim Brooks Wei
Hi People,

I can't validate this page http://thewei.com/sandboxcar/menu.html

I get a message showing an upside down question mark before the start 
of the declaration header. But there is no such character in my text, 
not even as an invisible character.

I also need a header for xhtml transitional Spanish pages.  I can't 
figure out how to write one.

Help much appreciated.

[css-d] site check revised site please

2006-08-08 Thread Kim Brooks Wei
I've been doing some major revisions to this site and still have some 
cleanup work to do - checking links and whatnot. I'd like to know how 
the site is looking in various browsers. I have the Mac OS X browsers 
covered, so I need feedback from PC browsers and OS 9.

http://www.thewei.com/carolisol/public_html/index.html

An issue I could use help with, is I'm trying to bring the back, next 
and to top links to the side of the page and have them fixed in 
position. Is there an easy way to do this without using many hacks?

TIA,
Kimi
