Hi Robin, ----- Original Message ----- From: Robin Lauryssen-Mitchell To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, January 25, 2005 3:01 PM Subject: [WSG] Containers and frames
This is my first attempt at using Containers: http://www.rpehlm.me.uk/rpehlm/home_con.php Take a look if you like and/or can stand it :-) Regards Robin --------------------------------------------------------- Firstly, your markup doesn't validate: Line 65, column 22: there is no attribute "color" Line 65, column 37: there is no attribute "size" Line 65, column 40: element "font" undefined Secondly, you haven't got the hang of this yet, and this is demonstrated by your use of spaces for spacing: <a href='http://www.rpehlm.me.uk/rpehlm/personal/index.php'>Home</a><br/> <a href='http://www.rpehlm.me.uk/rpehlm/personal/index.php'>Profile</a><br/> <a href='http://www.rpehlm.me.uk/rpehlm/personal/index.php'>Discussion</a><br/> etc. This would be better done with margin/padding in your CSS. It would also be much cleaner if you'd used a good old definition list: <dl> <dt>Title</dt> <dd> link </dd> <dd> link2 </dd> <dd> link3 </dd> </dl> etc. Then you can format the spacing with CSS (if you need any- the default isn't bad!) That'll do for starters! (Then we can move on to your text overlapping . . .) On the topic of frames, I hesitate to tell you that I still love 'em. Not perfect, I admit, but a really great way of providing navigation - Hey - even Firefox uses frames: eg., go to the developer toolbar and hit 'edit css' and what do you get? a left frame. Why? Because it makes sense :-) (Duck) Bob McClelland, Cornwall (U.K.) www.gwelanmor-internet.co.uk ****************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ******************************************************
