The Site Is...

http://www.pridemaster.com | I tried to enter a code of: body{width:100% ;} .... But it still stretches out of proportion on certain screens. On my office PC i have to put my screen view to 150% in order for it to be right. Is there a UNIVERSAL code that will AUTO ADJUST the site to the users individual settings?

[Keith Havens]

PLEASE HELP! I am at my wits end on this. I thought about placing to body{width:100% ;} code to body{width:0%;} . However I am not sure if this will work.

try using fix length,
like 800px. not percent. If you use percent. it will keep changing its shape.

And it does not matter what editor you use.

[Keith Havens]

so use body{width:800p x;} ?

I edited all the pages. However do not know if it worked.

You aren't declaring a doctype, and 95% of your code is deprecated and shouldn't be used. Without fixing that you will never get IE to act like a modern browser.

Start by fixing these. You will see your code spit out again after scrolling through all of the errors. It has taken care of most of them for you. Put the new code into the validator and there are only 9 errors remaining. I don't know what this does to your sites layout, but you will have to fix these.

I recommend a refresher on HTML, and learning CSS.

I entered the code in line 1. And then the pages really stretched and screwed up...... AGGGGHHHHH!

[Keith Havens]

On the index page, I deleted the code. ( http://www.pridemaster.com/html ) But on the other pages, I kept it the same to show what is happening i.e. ( http://pridemaster.com/html/Employees.html )

Okay you've entered a doctype. Now your browser is displaying your code the way you wrote it to. There are still 59 errors on your index page. You are using tables for layout, something you should never do. As before I recommend learning CSS.

EDIT: You're using the wrong doctype for the employees page. You are using strict when you need transitional. Here is a list of valid doctypes, and take a look at this also.
