I recommend that you start by fixing the errors reported by the online HTML validator.

[dharma]

Im afraid the site you make is a... how to say...
well, i have a feeling that site you have no possibility to create by HTML code,
but only by kind of prepared (predefined?) templates...
It is something like LEGO...
Isnt it?

I think the best way to get answer is to search in FAQ (if they have some) of that company who offers that service.

But me, on your place, i just let it be, buy a cheepest possible web hosting a make page by my own, or with modificable templates like CMS or something like that...

(I hope you understand, my english is very simple)

[moshkin]

its not the actuall site, im just mucking around on freewebs, to check out the different things.

[Darin McGrew]

Whether it's the actual site or not, the URL you posted has such badly broken structure that I don't think it's worth trying to debug the presentation until the structure is fixed.

Darin, i think in this one case he is not able to fix this errors. I mean - no one is able to do so, only the webmaster of the company who offers the service...
This errors are already in the "frame" they offer to people to play in...
In fact there is no possibility to write codes, only choose from several templates and write plain texts.
I think its just a bad service

More incentive to get proper paid hosting then.

[moshkin]

Im getting proper hosting, i just dont want to waste money every month, while im trying to figure out how to make sidebars and other stuff. If i had most of it planned then as soon as i get the proper hosting, i can quickly set to work and complete it.

well, you can get FREE Hosting too...
for time when you are trying out the basic things...

You will have allways some advertise on your page, but for shorty time, for trying only its good.

anyway, like this you can atleast test HTML, but on that freewebs.com thing you even cant test HTML cuz there is no posibility to write some html...
...if im right...
i did ask you: "Im afraid the site you make is a... how to say...

Isnt it?"

but dont know the answer yet

Wish you the bests

[moshkin]

Sorry, yes there is a place that gives me a blank page, and tells me to encode my self, it was either a blank page or WYSIWYG, im learning to actually script so right now im just starting with a blank page and working on that.

Also ive edited the errors, its now down to 6 and i dont really understand the ones its giving me, the repeated community is in a <table etc...> but when i end the table </table> the validator says that its not meant to be there and is likely to have remained when you were editing text, ive deleted </table> it still works, but isnt it best to include that?

Also any help on the original question would be nice.

[dharma]

Well, if you watch result of validator you can see you had forgot the number for cellpadding

and the end tag of table is missing... it has to come after the last

CODE

</tr>

tag.

im not sure about that, but i have feeling that it is mistake to enclose a table in

CODE

<font face="Monotype Corsiva, Verdana" size="4" color="#00FF00"> - </font>

you should better do it like this:

CODE

<TABLE BORDER="1" CELLPADDING="1">
<tr>
    <td><font face="Monotype Corsiva, Verdana" size="4" color="#00FF00">
  Community</font></td>
</tr>
        <tr>
    <td><font face="Monotype Corsiva, Verdana" size="4" color="#00FF00">
  Community</font></td>
</tr><tr>
    <td><font face="Monotype Corsiva, Verdana" size="4" color="#00FF00">
  Community</font></td>
</tr><tr>
    <td><font face="Monotype Corsiva, Verdana" size="4" color="#00FF00">
  Community</font></td>
</tr><tr>
    <td><font face="Monotype Corsiva, Verdana" size="4" color="#00FF00">
  Community</font></td>
</tr><tr>
    <td><font face="Monotype Corsiva, Verdana" size="4" color="#00FF00">
  Community</font></td>
</tr>
          <tr>
    <td><font face="Monotype Corsiva, Verdana" size="4" color="#00FF00">
  Community</font></td>
</tr>
<tr>
          <td> </td>
        </tr>
       </table>

OR, simply define the font properties for <td> in a css file and apell on that file from head of your document, like

CODE

<link rel="StyleSheet" href="style.css" type="text/css">

[dharma]

if you see, there is a table in the table...
the left "td" of the first table is the navbar (which is the second table) and the right "td" is the content

(if the content nedds to be, it can be a next table too)

[moshkin]

So that means??

[dharma]

avec plaisir, mon ami,
but if i can give you one more advice, you should write codes nice...
like in a special order...
it is because, if you will have a bit more complicated codes, you can easy read them... it means, your code should look something like this:

CODE

<TABLE BORDER="0" CELLPADDING="3">
  <tr>
    <td valign="top">
      <TABLE BORDER="1" CELLPADDING="1">
        <tr>
          <td><font face="Monotype Corsiva, Verdana" size="4" color="#00FF00">Community</font>
          </td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
          <td><font face="Monotype Corsiva, Verdana" size="4" color="#00FF00">Community</font>
          </td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
          <td><font face="Monotype Corsiva, Verdana" size="4" color="#00FF00">Community</font>
          </td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
          <td><font face="Monotype Corsiva, Verdana" size="4" color="#00FF00">Community</font>
          </td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
          <td><font face="Monotype Corsiva, Verdana" size="4" color="#00FF00">Community</font>
          </td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
          <td><font face="Monotype Corsiva, Verdana" size="4" color="#00FF00">Community</font>
          </td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
          <td><font face="Monotype Corsiva, Verdana" size="4" color="#00FF00">Community</font>
          </td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
          <td> &nbsp;
          </td>
        </tr>
      </table>
