Style sheets

D

Desmond

Can anyone help on the style sheet issues. I have taken over a website
and i am adding a section to the website. I can't get the table ti use
the style sheet font. I also do not now the significance oh the # in
the stylesheet as it works without.

There is a contact us on this section taking me to a web based email
with the wrong font. Should be FONT-FAMILY: verdana,helvetica,arial;

Get a decent tutorial, you have a bunch to learn yet.
There are a _handful_ of decent web ones, but most are sadly bad.
The only good book I know is O'Reilly's "Head First HTML with XHTML &
CSS"
I can't get the table ti use the style sheet font.

Don't sweat it. You can't control choice of typeface on the web with
any real detail, so don't even try. For practical purposes you're
limited to serif, sans-serif and maybe monospace.

I also do not now the significance oh the # in
the stylesheet as it works without.

Tutorial time! But (simply) #ybclogo in CSS goes with <DIV
id="ybclogo"> in HTML

There's a great deal wrong with this page. None of it is major, but
there's a lot of extra grot in there that's actually making your work
harder. Read the O'Reilly and you'll see it too.


Otherwise:
In the HTML, kill all the <br> tags and use a <p> at the start of
every paragraph or paragraph-like section. Add some simple <b>, <em>
or <i> as you want.

Or just replace it with this:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/
TR/html4/strict.dtd" >
<html>
<head>

In the CSS, remove all these:
POSITION: absolute;
FONT-WEIGHT: *;
FONT-SIZE: *;
FONT-STYLE: *;
FONT-FAMILY: verdana,helvetica,arial;


Also remove all the "left", "top" and even the margin or padding
settings from anything except #pageContent. Make the CSS absolutely
minimal, and remove anything you don't understand. Then adjust it
(with at least some sort of tutorial) until you're happy.

If you insist, leave POSITION: absolute; on #pageContent and the
banner images (I wouldn't, but it's the easiest place to start from).

The hrefs are "http:/www" because this is my website and I have not
got acces to the real one yet. so this is a quick fix.
In the CSS, remove all these: ... FONT-FAMILY:
verdana,helvetica,arial;
I am told to use this font. On the contact page if you click on the
link. I am using a
<input type=text> and <textarea> If I could change the font within
these fields changed.
some websites even change the colour of the background when got
Focused.
