Hey Rob, Wow thanks for all that help! I don't really know how to code XHTML... I mean I don't know the difference - I do know that it requires everything to close like: <br /> and weird stuff like that...
I think at the moment I would rather stick to HTML - just because I find it easier... and I don't know the little things about XHTML - although im interested, I might make another website in XHTML if I get the time.... (probably a photo album or something)... I will try that code for the heading, since it looks very interesting! I didn't realise CSS could transform text?? I think I once saw a tag: content: It was in a menu I think it added >> that before the menu when you hovered over it... very interesting... Thanks for that tip! :) ----- at the moment, I really just need help with that IE bug, of not displaying the code properly... what I will do is, I will first go through and close all the P tags... thanks for that. I will write back and let you know how its going! Cheers!

Ok, your lucky I'm in a helping mood :-) Not many things have to be done to make you site XHTML strict. I will only go throught the first page of your site:" 1. Change the doctype and head from: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd";> <HTML> <HEAD> <META http-equiv="Content-Language" content="en-au"> <META HTTP-EQUIV="content-type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"> to: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd";> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"; xml:lang="en"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" /> note: also use lowercase for tags.. 2. This could be changed just for fun: <h1> W W W . N E E S T E R . C O M </h1> to: <h1>www.neester.com</h1> and add this to your div#div_header h1 class statement: letter-spacing: 0.5em; padding-left: 0.3em; padding-right: 0.3em; text-transform: uppercase; 3. <p>I apoligise for the delay,... This tag never seems to be closed anywhere. 4. <ul> <li><strike>INDEX - Build Page</strike> ... <strike> is not valid xhtml strict, also you are not closing the the <li> tags. try something like: <ul class="checklist"> <li><em>INDEX - Build Page</em></li> .... Where the checklist class look like: .checklist em { text-decoration: line-through; } 5. </ul><br> Probably you want to close the open <p> tag here (see point 3). So make it </ul></p> 6. <p>NEWS ITEM HERE Close it :-) 7. In the footer use a span or something with a class: so <U><B>Time</B></U>, becomes <span class="infobox">Time</span> where the class look something like: .infobox { text-decoration: underline; font-weight: bold; } 8. USE LOWER CASE FOR TAGS! :-D 9. update your validation button to xhtml strict.

How can I get around this. www.neester.com the NEWS REEL at the bottom. the background is meant to be YELLOW!! With a dotted border. In my IE (v6) it doesn't work. It only works when you hightlight the text, or when you scroll over it (like hide it, then show it again). It works 100% in mozilla, and on a smaller resolution of IE. Currently im running 1400x1050 and its very very annoying. Im not going to make any changes for the next few hours. Any help would be APPRECIATED GREATLY! btw - the website is 100% CSS compliant too. Not 100% IE compliant I guess. :P Thanks! ----------------------------- Chris Stratford [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.neester.com ----------------------------- ***************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ ***************************************************** ***************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ *****************************************************
