OK, now there is an attachment. That looks like an extra table column.

wat should il do??

Posted by: raymacsor Aug 29 2006, 11:56 PM

but i put it on a table.

Yes, but if I understand it right the table has one column too many. Can you post a link to the page instead so we can see the code?

Wait, I think I misunderstood the picture. I didn't understand that the long green swirl is actually an image. I thought you had marked the unwanted space out with green.

In that case the answer is probably in the FAQ I posted a link to. But as said, we'd need to see the page to know for sure.

It's a combination of whitespace in your code (explained in the FAQ I linked to) and that you have many mistakes in your code. There are lose tags sprinkled a little here and there, many closing tags are missing, sometimes start tags are missing and so on. I'm afraid you have to correct all that before it can work.

You can use the validator to find the errors. Some of them come from the code geocities insert, so it's better if you validate a local copy of the page.

http://www.htmlhelp.com/cgi-bin/validate.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.geocities.com%2Fraymacsor%2Findex.html&warnings=yes

You have to go through it and correct one error at the time. You could also read some tables tutorial so you understand how to construct a table and that the elements and tags must be in a certain order. You'll get the hang of it. It just takes a little training and swearing.

What didn't you understand about the FAQ entry that pandy suggested you read?

Ray,

I took a look at the source code, and I hate to tell you this but that code is so malformed I don't think it can really be "fixed". It basically needs to be re-written. In fact, it is so invalid that I am surprised it renders as well as it does. I would expect the page to be very, very broken.

Given the state of that code I don't think anyone is going to help correct it because it would require a day's worth of work. Plus anyone who would want to help would need to download all the images, the style sheet, etc and basically recreate the site locally. This is a lot to ask of someone who is just volunteering their time and energy to help.

I have two suggestions for you:

1. The first thing you can do is search for the words "border=1 bordercolor=black" in your HTML for this page and delete them. This is what is causing the annoying black lines everywhere.
2. I would recommend that you scrap this layout all together and find an alternative one that offers simpler code to get you started.

Since I think you mentioned previously that you are fairly new to HTML, this is a rather advanced layout for you to start with. I would recommend a simpler approach until you get a little more familiar.

Take care,

John
