Learn how to utilise CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) by creating CSS Divs, instead of HTML Tables, that way your page complies with W3C, and is XHTML Transitional, so yes, learn how to code CSS, and how to integrate it into HTML.

My JoB site was my first site ive made:

www.codezerolom.com

basic layout what do you reckon?

/Stan

****ing appalling.

Look at it in Firefox, then scrap it and start again.
Tbh its hardly perfect in IE either.

Also, at larger resolutions it fails horribly, your top bit is centered, the rest is left aligned.
Your crappy link buttons suck aswell. Right clicking on a link should NOT ****ing take me to the god damn page.

goddamnit why are you using java on that page? It's terrible, please re-code it in CSS, properly, comply with the standards so it works cross browser, you're tempting me to stab you in the eye with a screwdriver


edit: i love your avatar data :cool:

i know its not the best coding, but you do know you can use tables and css to achieve xhtml 1.1 validity? (tables simply because you can position objects a lot easier and quicker for multiple screen sizes + it gets around the problem of browsers interpreting css differently and screwing up your page, namely IE 6. although there are some rendering inconsistencies between firefox and opera though)

ignoring the one validity error due to cpmfetch, www.nemesis-server.co.uk (the homepage) shows that it can be done

I know you can use tables to achieve validity, but what I hate about tables is that it's too much efford to achieve the validity with them, basically they suck, full CSS layouts look the best, and once you get the hang of them can be heaps easier than tables.

its not difficult to achieve validity with them, you use css to style them and only use them for place holders.

what is useful is that MOST browsers render tables the same way (cant be said for css positionings) and they quickly adapt to different screen sizes without the need for more complex css positioning

the only downside is that it takes slightly longer to render due to having to read the tables twice, and that its not a perfect css page, ie all the positioning elements etc in the css rather than the html/ php file

Validity when parsed using a dumb syntax checker. Not true validity.

Tables should only be used for tabular data, layouts aint tabular (http://www.usability.com.au/resources/tables.cfm << read about tables)

Besides, your site still aint valid :P

http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http://www.nemesis-server.co.uk/

on top of that, your mailto url with the ?subject is invalid cos you have spaces in the addr that aint escaped as %20, and one of your iamges uses width="" rather than style="width: "

further more, your sending xhtml as text/html which is wrong :P

i didnt code accessability into the website because someone who has trouble reading websites probably wont be playing mir

as i stated before the validity error is caused by cpmfetch, i just noticed it and will fix it later tonight.

the width issue, once again caused by cpmfetch but i will see if i can fix it... still hasnt affected the validity

and are you saying xhtml 1.1 is a bad validity...???
