Hi, this is my first time here. I have created my website in frontpage but when I try to open it in Netscape all the information is scattered all over. Not being to savvy with code I'm hoping someone might be able to guide me through. Thanks for your help!first, delete frontpage and learn html and css. If you really want a program to do it you could try dreamweaverI recomend reading the tutorial that W3Schools did on XHTML:
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.w3schools.com/xhtml/xhtml_intro.asp">http://www.w3schools.com/xhtml/xhtml_intro.asp</a><!-- m -->
XHTML is a new, stricter and cleaner version of HTML.
Yay!
Once you are done with that, check out their CSS tutorial:
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_intro.asp">http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_intro.asp</a><!-- m -->
I recomend also asking around about "Web Standards", "Semantics", and I also strongly recomend this article on tables:

You ever hear about Javascript and think you can't keep it valid, look at these:

Hope that helps!For the record... XHTML has no real benefits over HTML 4.01 Strict, and should not be used by a beginner.True, but telling him it's a benefit for him to learn it for future use is always a good thing.
In the future, yes. Once he's familiar with coding, it would be a good thing to learn. But from the sound of things, he's still learning, and giving him XML parse errors to deal with != good idea. Originally posted by Ben R.
