Fixed Width Tag Options

[suomi48]

A website I designed does not appear correctly on a widescreen laptop. The pages fill the width of the screen, when I believe the proper method would be to have either a fixed width or a relative width for each page. Vainly I have searched the Web and have not found an answer to my problem. Could someone here give me a hand? I am reluctant to give the URL for the website as I know the coding is a mess as I have already used the validator, whose results have me puzzled as to how to correct the errors shown there.

If you validated with the WDG Validator, the results page gives you links to relevent specifications for each error. If that doesn't help, what is it you don't understand. Anyway, don't be shy to give us the url.

here's the url: www.villagescribe.biz. If someone could provide me with some basic help on eliminating extraneous code, I'd appreciate it. What I am looking for first and foremost is code to make the entire page a fixed width so that it can be easily read on normal width and wide width monitors/laptops.

Here's an explanation of the HTML errors reported by our online validator:

CODE

Error: element P not allowed here; possible cause is an inline element containing a block-level element

You can't put a P inside an H3. In this case, it looks like the best solution is to remove the <h3> and </h3> tags.

CODE

Error: required attribute ALT not specified

See ALT texts in IMG

That's it.

And FWIW, your site adapts nicely to different size browser windows. Try not to break that.
