Hello!
I don't know why, but I'm having a time with my design in IE. Firefox and
Netscape have no problem. The idea is that the content area would be flush
top with the bottom of the background. There is a big space in IE.
td {padding-top:0; padding-bottom:0;}
Also, in IE, I can't get the background to show on the aboutamy page.
that's a IE6 bug.
http://www.amyarver.com/home.shtml
td id=header class=homepage
http://www.amyarver.com/aboutamy.shtml
td id=header class=aboutamy
with
#header.homepage { background-image: url('por_home.jpg'); }
#header.aboutamy { background-image: url('por_aboutamy.jpg'); }
In the home.shtml, IE6 parser matches #header and .homepage, ok.
but:
In the aboutamy.shtml, IE6 parser matches #header, but fails on
.homepage, and will not look further at #header.aboutamy anymore.
I would suggest you apply the class that refers to the page to body
body class=aboutamy...
td id=header
with
.homepage #header { background-image: url('por_home.jpg'); }
.aboutamy #header { background-image: url('por_aboutamy.jpg'); }
And the navbar is all flukey, with the links pointing to the root.
Sorry, don't know what is flukey: random?

[WSG] IE extra space; background not showing up; odd links
Ingo ~ Thanks a million for your fabulous advice which worked! I'm so happy. You said: p.s. cited: We all need to listen to the messages the universe has to send us: This page is not Valid XHTML 1.0 Transitional :) I am new to Web Standards. Two basic questions ~ could you share with me _how_ you know it is not valid, and also, _what_ I can do to make it valid? http://www.amyarver.com/home.shtml http://www.amyarver.com/aboutamy.shtml http://www.amyarver.com/css/styles.css Thanks so much!

The Validator checks HTML documents for conformance to W3C HTML and XHTML Recommendations and other HTML standards. http://validator.w3.org/ http://www.amyarver.com/home.shtml http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1uri=http%3A//www.amyarver.com/home.shtml http://www.amyarver.com/aboutamy.shtml http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1uri=http%3A//www.amyarver.com/aboutamy.shtml The majority of your errors are easily fixed. For example, in your document you have: div id=nav lia href=home.shtmlhome/a/li lia href=aboutamy.shtmlaboutnbsp;amy/a/li ... /div You are missing either the stating ul or ol tags for your list: div id=nav ul lia href=home.shtmlhome/a/li lia href=aboutamy.shtmlaboutnbsp;amy/a/li ... /ul /div The non SGML character errors mean that you are using using characters such as (quote mark), or ' (apostrophe) within your displayed text. Some user agents may not be able to properly render these types of characters, so you should use SGML character references or entity references to display these characters. In addition to proper rendering, these types of symbols are also used within markup and may have a different meaning than when used in displayed text. For example, when using within displayed text, you would want to use the entity reference lt;, to be sure this character is not confused with the opening bracket of a HTML tag. You are already using some entity references in your navigation markup: nbsp; in used to represent a non breaking space character. http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/charset.html HTH -- Best regards, Michael Wilson ** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list getting help **

For validation I suggest download the web developer extension for Firefox from... https://addons.update.mozilla.org/extensions/showlist.php?application=firefoxcategory=Developer%20Toolsnumpg=10pageid=3 It's a toolbar you can validate the current page with, disable style sheets and javascript and much more - v.cool Most likely, the pages were checked with the W3C Validator.
