:confused: :confused:<!--content-->You have many HTML errors. You should consider taking a tutorial, or reading a good book on HTML.<br />
<br />
Your page has two BODY tags (illegal). The bit you are asking about has no closing UL tag (required). You have many CENTER tags that have no closing tag (required).<!--content-->Thank you for your reply ... And I do appreciate your candor. Not taken badly at all.<br />
I am trying to learn this stuff . <br />
I have just bought a book on html for dummies . ( ME ):confused: <br />
So I am trying to correct my mistakes .<br />
<br />
Again , Thank you<br />
Judy<!--content-->This place can give you invaluable help to find errors on your pages when you are learning (as well as catching typos later on)<br />

<br />
Also here is a basic template for how a webpage should look, in case the book you have doesn't include a good one.<br />
<br />
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"><br />
<html><br />
<head><br />
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"><br />
<meta http-equiv="Content-Script-Type" content="text/javascript"><br />
<meta http-equiv="Content-Style-Type" content="text/css"><br />
<title></title><br />
<style type="text/css" title="Default" media="screen"><br />
</style><br />
</head><br />
<body><br />
<br />
</body><br />
</html><!--content-->Thank you Stefan <br />
<br />
I know it's wrong . Now anyway . And have been reading most of the day trying to learn about closing tags and what has pairs . <br />
I try the html editors , but don't really understand what it is I have to do. I wish there was someplace or some kind of program that would fix the errors. Then I could learn by how they were fixed. <br />
I guess I'm a visual person . Alright ... dumb :confused: ;) <br />
<br />
Thank you for your help . I do really appreciate you ( all of you ) taking your time to do it. <br />
<br />
I could close this . but really do want to learn . So I'll leave it open for awhile longer ... If you all don't mind ?<br />
<br />
Judy<!--content-->Thank you all for your help ... I have fixed some of my errors and trying to fix the rest. <br />
I finally got all of them to line up.....looks so much better. Im sure there are still many errors .. But because of your help...atleast I can look now and not think it's right. <br />
<br />
Now if someone could please tell me how to make Text links NOT look like links.So they will be whilte not the blue.:confused: <br />
<br />
Again THANKS :D<!--content-->Here's code to create white links without underlines. The link turns black when somebody hovers over it. You can change the colors to whatever you want.<br />
<br />
a {<br />
text-decoration:none;<br />
}<br />
a:link, {<br />
color:#FFFFFF; <br />
}<br />
a:visited {<br />
color:#FFFFFF;<br />
}<br />
a:hover {<br />
color:#000000;<br />
}<br />
<br />
Now save this code in a file called styles.css and have the file be in the same directory as the rest of your pages. Also make sure it has a .css extension. Now add the following line within your <head> tag.<br />
<br />
<link rel="stylesheet" title="Default" media="screen" href=http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/archive/index.php/"styles.css" type="text/css" /><br />
<br />
This means that any page that has that <link> tag in it, uses that .css file to define how links act.<!--content-->I wish there were hearts on here.... what a bunch of great guys you are.<br />
<br />
Thank you so much ... I am working hard on fixing it. I will add this to the manager.:) <br />
<br />
I work so I only have so much time right now. But I am resoloved to doing it. <br />
Again , My hat off to all of you.<!--content-->Oops, I found a typo. Here's the correct code for the one part.<br />
<br />
a:link {<br />
color:#FFFFFF;<br />
}<br />
<br />
If you want visited and non-visted links to have the same color, here's the code to combine them.<br />
<br />
a:link, a:visited {<br />
color:#FFFFFF; <br />
}<!--content-->
