expertec Posted December 10, 2005 Report Share Posted December 10, 2005 Hi everyone,One of my friends is building a website, and they have a minor but irritating problem.Could any of you look at this and work out what's wrong?Screenshots and problem posted here.Thanks! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarecrow Man Posted December 10, 2005 Report Share Posted December 10, 2005 I cant see any screenshots. I also cannot quite understand what the problem is.There are issues with webpages being different between IE/Firefox/Safari/other but not much can be done about it.

Chris Posted December 11, 2005 Report Share Posted December 11, 2005 Maybe it's too late but I'm not sure what she wants in terms of layout!But what about this:http://www.neoplanet.co.uk/users/powerless/poison/menu.htmViews correctly, but she'll have to check it out in safari.p.s. there are better ways to refine the 'code' but errrr...I haven't done that yet :( but if that is all she wants, then it will do.

expertec Posted December 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2005 What she wants is a space between the image on the left, and the text... it shows in the preview when she is making the page, but when it gets to the browser, it doesn't look the same.Can't see this screenshot?The one at the bottom is how it's supposed to look, and the top two are how it actually displays in browsers.

So if you hav 1000 pages, you can change the font size on all 1000 pages by changing the value of the font-size below. The font wll then be different on all pages. As it is now on the current papge, this is not possible..content { font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 11px;font-weight: normal;color: #000000;}This is what she has now:<font size=2">Music-tography, is a combinationSo if she had 1000 pages she would have to go through each page to change the font value. Where as using the above method only one change is needed to to chnage the font on the 1000 pages.Errrm if she only has one page or two then above maybe a little OTT.To get the layout, how she wants it, I put everything in tables...<table width="100%" height="200" border="0"> <tr> <td width="200" height="200" valign="top"></td> <td width="549" valign="top"></td> <td width="132" valign="top"></td> </tr></table>You can play about with the values, make things bigger etc...But that's pretty much it...as I say it can be done more better in terms of code, but I don't know how to do that yet.If this is a little OTT then just say so, but it will allow for more greater control.I've included the files, so you can see what it is I have. :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
