Re: [css-d] stuck on the last bits of validation.
Hi Tina, I fooddled also somewhat around your codes, and found the page rightmenu.htm http://frontpage-tips.com/rightmenu.htm. See: = = = = = td style=background: #eee; p style=margin-top: 3px align=center input type=text name=user2 value=email address size=13 style=border-style: solid; border-width: 1px; /td td align=center style=background: #eee; = = = = = and there's the happy violin. No that's not it .. that was me trying to see if the white would go away ... I'm guessing, though I've not tested it yet, that Thierry is right. That colour above is grey not white even i can read that right off:) francky (thinking: it's no m/f point m/f ? don't know what that means to say that the international html/css standards of w3c and MS-programs as FP (and Word, the easy converting in htm-option!) don't have everything in common...)(and thinking [ THE 3 GOLDEN TIPS ;-) ]: allways validate your FP-pages with the html-validator and the css-validator, and allways check your FP-pages in Firefox to see if they aren't IE-only). MMM I appreciate you took the time to look at the code .. (thinking: however you did not test it first (obviously) and gave me a wrong answer, which btw was so obviously wrong because otherwise the colour code would be saying white!... I tell you this for your own elucidation. ) (and thinking perhaps before trying to answer cleverly you first take the time to test the answer) Why you feel the need to point out the obvious to me, re your 'golden tips' and word comments I've no idea really. You were wrong there too, however on one point. the idea that fp03 and international html/css standards of w3c don't have anything in common and further to that . Always check your web editor (which includes np) pages in different browsers (and there are more than two btw) and with the validators, one checks with them no matter what editor one is using.

Tina, The errors are coming from inline CSS, embedded in style attributes within the HTML itself. The offending lines look like this: style=margin-top: 3 The problem with these declarations are that you need to specify the units of the margins, i.e.: style=margin-top: 3px That should do the trick.

I hope you didn't read my comment about FrontPage as a judgement on you or users of FrontPage in general -- that's just not the case. Like the forthcoming iWeb, I think these tools are great for the democratization of the web, despite the fact that they produce less- than-admirable HTML and CSS. I would, however, love to see better standards support in the future. Why is it ,it's always men making the usual 'FrontPage put down'? Oh.. yeah ...

And if you're helping people improve their pages, regardless of what tool they're making them with, you're doing a Good Thing too, and you have my support.

It's your TD.
Try: td {background:red} to see what I'm talking about.
IMHO, you have way too many elements and attributes in there. You could
safely remove most of them.
