I got two problems at this webpage (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.boggscontracting.com/index1001.html">http://www.boggscontracting.com/index1001.html</a><!-- m -->).<br />
<br />
1. At the very top of the page, there is blank space between the very top and the menu. I don't want any space.<br />
<br />
2. The orange vertical line, I can't remember exactly how I did that but I need to change the color of that line. PLUS, it goes all the way to the bottom of the logo and I don't want it to. I want it to stop level with the headings below. So there will be blank space in there. <br />
<br />
I printed out the code and checked by hand all of the tags to make sure all have a matching end tag and according to that, all match up. Thus, I am stuck.<!--content-->Okay..did you create the web page in Photoshop or something then export it to DreamWeaver or other web editor?<br />
<br />
If so you may need to delete any tags that appear on the design view of the page. I didn't see any but perhaps there is one.<br />
<br />
As for the orange line.....unless you made an actual image in another program..can't you adjust the color name of it?<br />
<br />
Perhaps a CSS Style code would work...<br />
<br />
Pyro is way better at this than I am..<!--content-->background=pixi_orange.gif<br />
<br />
That's what defines the orange line. Personally I would just use the border property to define the line instead.<br />
<br />
For the space, make sure to define the margin for the body as zero. Even without getting rid of the tables, you should really work on defining some things in your externally linked CSS file instead of doing it in your HTML.<br />
<br />
You will also want to use the alt attribute because if a person can't view your images, your menu is pointless.<!--content-->For the margin/body deal, I'll have to figure out how to do that. <br />
<br />
The vertical line thing, I can't recall if I used this or not but I found a bookmark for this page about an expanding vertical line (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.thetemplatestore.com/help/verticallines.asp">http://www.thetemplatestore.com/help/verticallines.asp</a><!-- m -->). Maybe that's what I did. I know enough to be dangerous.<br />
<br />
I did not create this in FP or Dreamweaver. I got a template somewhere online that was free and modified it greatly. It was hand coded, so I don't think there are any weird things going on.<!--content-->I put this inside the HEAD of the page...<br />
<br />
<style type="text/css"><br />
<!--<br />
body {margin-top:0px;}<br />
--><br />
</style><br />
<br />
But it didn't change anything. I do that right? Still blank space at very top.<!--content-->When I did a view source I didn't see any <br> tags at the very top, but when I did a "Save As.." and looked at the code there where a couple. Maybe it was something the "Save As.." did and they aren't actually there. I do see some space above the menu, but there's the background image there so there really isn't a space.<!--content-->I just noticed I already had a Margin attibute inside the BODY tag set to zero. (For the top.) I don't know which way I shoudl do it but whatever I'm doing isn't working.<br />
<br />
I can't imagine SaveAs sticking two BR tags in there. That's weird.<br />
<br />
EDIT: On the orange line deal, I just made that a clear image for now until I figure that thing out. So, now my problem is the blank space at top.<!--content-->Line 70 two <BR>'s remove them.<br />
A validation of the page would have shown the error.<!--content-->
