gap???

I am going to email you a file to save over the other one, you just upload it using the Geocities file upload page and then save over the old one. It will work

I will email you a file to save over the other one.
Save it somewhere on your computer
Go to file upload in Geocities and then locate the file and upload over the old one and it will work fine

now look at it http://www.geocities.com/bosconypd55/Wallpaper.html The side bar is messed up

packsunpunk08,

I just ran musik's code through a validator. It is nearly perfect in that it only had one error. (there were 61 warnings of improper code, but most browsers will overlook those)

The one problem in the first code she copied in the third reply to this thread is in line 26. It should be this:

instead of this:

(there's a missing right bracket on the td tag.)

The biggest thing that's causing your problem is the scrollbar style code needs to be in the head tags as you can see in musik's example. There is no reason her code should not work for you once you correct that slight error.

no problem - sending you another file, just copy over it, it will work

One other suggestion...could you play around with the colors on the scrollbar thing abit? I'm the one all the other mods refer to as the oldfart -- and with my eyesight, it's really hard to see that very light white on the very light grey to grab the correct place to do any scrolling. OK -- I have bifocals, but it's not helping! *lol...just darken something up a bit there and I'll be a happy camper.

It works but now i'm frusterated, uhg why didn't my code work, I worked hard on it too

don't get frustrated, look over the other code and see what they did differently, then learn. It is a very smart thing to do everytime someone hands you some code, otherwise its like...uh...taking baked cookies when you know you can bake your own...(does that work?)

Teehee!

It was too difficult for me to pin point where you went wrong as the code you said you used was different from the code that ended up on the page.

If you look back on my previous post on the first page, I did show you where you had added another cell which is what was causing the gap - but in the code you supplied that problem wasnt in there, in fact, when I pasted that code into my prog it looked fine.

Does that make sense?

ya i know what u mean

packsunpunk08,

Check out the HTML-kit I suggested near the bottom of the first page of this thread:

http://www.ozzu.com/viewtopic.php?t=1887

If you decide to use it, open your pages in it and just hit F9 -- that will bring up HTML Tidy and will validate your code and will show it in a split screen so you can compare. At the bottom of the program it will tell you where any errors are in your code and will also give you warnings about potential errors that aren't written to standards. It will help you learn.

I just downloaded it

Thanks to all of you for ur help on this table and here how it turned out just go here http://www.geocities.com/boscoNYPD55/ThirdWatch.html and look at the pages

Very good outcome
Well done

yes i like it too
