horizontal navigation

I am back again, the code worked fine in an empty page but when I added it to my external style sheet, it has gone wrong again, the links appear at the edge of the header, all jumbled up and without their boxes in firefox but work OK in ie.

appreciate anoyones help on this.

Really need to see the entire coding -- including the DOCTYPE and Character encoding. Load up the completed document to your server and provide the URL, please.

Didn't any one actually take the time to read his code?!?!?


Here's your border problem, it's in your anchor rule, on this line:

border:1px, solid, #FFFFFF;

You have commas after 1px, and after solid. You only need to put spaces. So change it to this:

 
[b]border:1px solid #fff;[/b]

Hope it helps, Thanks, Death

Are we just making up our own tags as we go along or are we following the standards? Validate your html and css for your list of errors that need fixing.

What are you talking about it looks fine to me?????

I can honestly say i'm extremely disapointed in you all.

How many of you actually read his code, there was a simple answer to a problem, and odds are you didn't even read all of his post. How do you expect to help someone if you don't know what's going on?

I'm going to say this once. BEFORE POSTING A REPLY, READ THE ENTIRE THREAD, AND IF CODE OR A LINK IS PROVIDED GO OVER IT!

Sorry if i'm being too cross with you, but it's for your own benefits.

Thanks, Death

The suggestion was made that he validate his markup for his list of errors where he would have found the comma problem and whatever else is there. No one is paying us to sift through anyones markup.

From what I can see that was his only error, when something is that obvious you shouldn't tell them to run to a validator, you should simply tell them about it, and how to fix it.

So why didn't you? You went through a lot of posts without saying anything about it.

I'de check that again. I couldn't say anything about it because he didn't have the problem up until post #10. As you will see I didn't post again until #17 where I answered his question first thing after logging in. So I did say something about it, I would have sooner, but i'm not usually online during the weekends.

Thanks, Death

It was in the first post.

It was in the first post.

I knew continuing this arguement would lead to an inevitable defeat.

I did notice it, but I didn't say anything because I assumed he would see that I didn't use it in the code I provided. Stupid assumptions :).

I still don't agree with telling people to go a to a validator first, because then there's nothing for us to do. It's so slow in this forum.

Thanks, Death

I am learning this css and I cannot see any errors. I cannot validate it as I am developing a new website and it is not yet loaded any where ............... ..........

But you really should load it up on to a server so that those people trying to help you can run your embryonic page through the W3C HTML & CSS validators in order to evaluate errors and suggest corrective action. You don't have to copy Markup (code) into these messages if you load up your pages to a server.

Inasmuch as you had adopted corrected (valid) Markup at one time here, I can only assume your subsequent problems were related to incorrect header information or additional non-compliant Markup.

You can run code through a validator without it being on a server. Also his problem has already been answered.

Thanks, Death

Yes, but then those offering help do not have access to a common document.

.......... Also his problem has already been answered ..........

Has it really? I get the impression he still has fundamental problems with his document (page) functioning as intended.

James

[Death Slaught]

He provided what we needed his HTML, and CSS. If we have those we do not need a 'common document'.

His problem was that the border was not appearing. The answer to that problem was that he had invalid CSS (commas where they should not have been). He asked the question, and the answer was provided, wether some one chooses to put there documents on a server or simply provide their code is up to them.

Thanks, Death

I motion that we return to the origonal topic of this thread, and help the poster, instead of all of this arguing.
