don't that suck how something as simple and easy to overlook as a single wrong letter or something like that can mess everything up?

If voodoo was using Dreamweaver, it should pick out that theres something wrong there. If you havent got it, i would highly surgest it to anyone

DW is ok but is not worth the price. The only thing I ever use it for is checking mistakes. I am sure there are other programs that will check it for you.

I have had that happen to me in my coding and I had other people look at it and no-one could find out what was wrong.
Turns out someone finally did, it was something like this:

Code:

<td background="mybackground.gif>

Missed the stinking quote and it screwed the stuff up.

son of a bitch bastard.......

dude i was staring at that thing for HOURS yestarday .. how did i miss that

yea i have dreamweaver and the only thing it bitched about was like the table propertise like the height and width ... some broswers can't do that or somethng...

thanks alot atholon

atholon · #8 01-19-2005, 01:50 PM

No problem bro.
Something to remember: If you are going to use quotes "", make sure that you use it on everything or don't use em at all. I helps make it less confusing.

VooDoo- · #9 01-19-2005, 02:34 PM

yea dream weaver did that... =\

anywho..

what im doing is im making a VERY basic but funtional site like this one .... or trying to ..

im not sure if im doing it right ... because no one is helping me lol...but im trying to get the links and what not on the sides...and in the middle like this site.. with the news boxes....i get how to make em resizable .. but ..

lol this is hard to explain

what i did for in the middle of the page i made one BIG resizable box to put all the little resizable boxes in..if thats how you do it

so .. it works .. kinda...

but the thing i don;t get it the little "news" box ... when u slice the sides .. do u slice ALL the sides or just the left and right one...

and also if you make your sentences to BIG they overlap the boxes on the sides...so .. when you make those do u gatta put ur own <*br> tags in there or is there a way to make it automaticly go onto the next page...because you all vew sites diffrently so i would guess theres a way to make em break automaticly...

thanks for reading it and thanks in advanced for your input

Why not just use Frontpage? I don't use it but it seems to be a good program. It comes with MS Office and is worth the price. Besides, you get like 6 programs with MS office.

atholon · #11 01-19-2005, 02:44 PM

Can I see the page? The one up there would not work for me. Maybe I can help.

VooDoo- · #12 01-19-2005, 04:54 PM

Scott · #19 01-19-2005, 07:51 PM

I just call it code symptoms. It's when you start coding and miss simple things because your brain is thinking it's more complex then it really is. I used to get it a lot, and now only a little. I find moving your eyes from the computer for a hour or so will quickly cure this ongoing annoyance. And later on when the code becomes your native language above English itself you don't miss things like that so easy.

atholon · #20 01-19-2005, 07:55 PM

Panther knows he has helped me MANY times eh bro? LOL
