Help for HTML newbie please? :)

[Chrissy]

Hi all...

I'v done ok on my first pure html foray (no css)

One quick question?

On my webpage

http://www.sworde.com/index_files/RealIndex.htm

I'v placed two ads side by side.

their code is:

<!survey>
<a href="http://www.kqzyfj.com/click-2031147-10358700">
<IMG
src="http://www.Sworde.com/index_files/indexpage loan 204 125.JPG"
width=204 height=125 border=0>
</a>

<!loan>
<a href="http://www.tkqlhce.com/click-2031147-10400195">
<IMG
src="http://www.Sworde.com/index_files/indexpage survey 140 125.JPG"
width=140 height=125 border=0>
</a>

problem is on the ie browser,

A SMALL UNDERSCORE! appears BETWEEN them????

they're supposed to be touching-side by side

I'v trippled checked my code

HOW DO I GET RID OF? !!!

thanks

Bizarre, but I remember you from before so I will let the misconception
pass...

One quick question?

Quick answer!

On my webpage

http://www.sworde.com/index_files/RealIndex.htm

I'v placed two ads side by side.

their code is:

<!survey>
<a href="http://www.kqzyfj.com/click-2031147-10358700">
<IMG
src="http://www.Sworde.com/index_files/indexpage loan 204 125.JPG"
width=204 height=125 border=0>
</a>

<!loan>
<a href="http://www.tkqlhce.com/click-2031147-10400195">
<IMG
src="http://www.Sworde.com/index_files/indexpage survey 140 125.JPG"
width=140 height=125 border=0>
</a>

That is due to the fact that even though the browser is suppose to
ignore whitespace between html elements, some do not, i.g., MSIE.

Solution: just remove the whitespace, not pretty markup but it works:

<a href="http://www.kqzyfj.com/click-2031147-10358700"><img
src="http://www.Sworde.com/index_files/indexpage loan 204 125.JPG"
width="140" height="125" border="0"></a>

Word of warning, spaces in filenames in URLs need to be escaped

"indexpage%20loan%20204%20125.JPG"

or better yet avoid embedded spaces in names!

For some value of "ok". Yep, you're writing 1997-style code. Why would
you not want to use CSS?

their code is:
...invalid.

<!survey>

<!survey> is neither a valid HTML element, nor a valid comment. Perhaps
you meant: <!-- survey --> (and) <!-- loan -->

Try fixing that and see what happens. Well, it probably won't help
fixing those two errors; you still have 394 *other* errors to go.

I'v trippled checked my code

Oh, hopefully not!

<http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http://www.sworde.com/index_files/RealIndex.htm>
"Failed validation, 396 errors" ... not quite a record, though.

btw THANKS!!!!!!!!



i can't explain it-its like trying to tell c++ programmers why you use
vb6?? or vb.net instead of c#

i guess its just laid out more simply-its wysiwyg
css so far just isn't -please excuse my prejudice-i just like it more?
I don't like the idea of buried/invisible routines -can't stand
compressed and difficult to debug. Time being money and all-easy
maintenance and debugging do have a place.

And, additionally, the page does not display well in some browser window
size and font size combinations. It forces horizontal scrolling.

Why is it that when you transport something by car, it is called a
shipment, but when you transport something by ship, it is called cargo?

No, it is more like trying to understand why you insist on using GWBASIC
for applications programming!

lol
I forgot that existed

ON a similar vein as my first question (which thanks-solution employed
see?)

I added one more img above the other two-and there's a gap line between
the two rows about a quarter inch
any way to get rid of? its not blank space-i checked that
again-www.sworde.com -click the "anti-clickbot-page" its the next page
there's a pic of a kitty-and between the kitty and the two cartoon
img's is that gap

What existed? Lean to quote please. Don't know to which item you are
referring to.

You do not want to know, it employs the taboo subject of CSS.
