Hello all and thanks for the forum opportunity. I have worked before in web design using HoTMetaL Pro but for some reason these drag-and-drop program often befuddle me. I am working now with WebEasy 10 and got most of my pages working okay but for some reason one page I created by dropping a Text box over an image I inserted is screwy…

I formatted the text box on my screen so the text fills the image I have as a background – but when I preview (in either Chrome or IE), the text only goes down about 2/3s of the page… (and in Chrome the font is completely different)? I assumed (yeah, I know the story) that what I saw on my screen would be accurately presented when it went to the actual webpage – but apparently not…?

If you happen to stumble upon this plea for help, I also am wondering how to set up pages which have forms so that when the user (after filling out the form boxes) hits the “SUBMIT” button it directs them to another (“Thank You”) page…?
Thanks for any advice and suggestions!

Tom

How you guys know this stuff impresses... Anyway, obviously you were correct and I found the folder through the temp URL. However the only HTML and CSS files there refer to the INDEX page (the home page, right?). Will sending you those give you perusal access to all the pages...? I can certainly send a list of all the files in there (most are images and stuff used on the site which I wouldn't send but there are maybe twenty other files (htm, preview p.css, css, etc.).?

One CSS file can be used by as many web pages as you like, as long as each web page's HTML file links to it. In fact a simple and efficient method is to use a single CSS file for common styling of all pages (like site themes or navigation menus), with more CSS embedded in individual pages that require special styling (say a contact form).

HTML documents can refer to CSS documents. But CSS documents don't refer to the HTML documents that use them.

Anyway, the CSS files you need are in the same folder as the HTML you posted. Maybe there are sub folders in the folder where the index.html is?

Or use Everything, wait for it to do the indexing the first time you use it (a matter of seconds), type the name of one of the CSS files and voilà!
