I just took your code and pasted into dreamweaver to test it. It works fine, although agains a background color like you have for your body, it's extremely difficult to see.

If you still aren't sure, try changing the code around to something more visible to test it. Change your css to this:
Code: [ Select ]
 
.table1      {
    width: 800px;
    background-color: #b9fbcd;
    border: 10px solid #0f0;
}
 
  1.  
  2. .table1      {
  3.     width: 800px;
  4.     background-color: #b9fbcd;
  5.     border: 10px solid #0f0;
  6. }
  7.  


this will show you where the border is.

Check your CSS... .table1 is not defined there. Don't forget to actually upload the CSS to your site

Also, add the following to your CSS (I think it would make the menu a little better :)
CSS Code: [ Select ]
#nav a      {display: block;
            width: 100%;}
  1. #nav a      {display: block;
  2.             width: 100%;}

You must not have read my previous post ;)

I did, I don't think she's uploaded it yet. What I think she meant when she said:
iveysaur wrote:
I've previewed it in firefox, safari, and my html editor program but the table is border-less and background-less. :\ -doesn't get what I'm doing wrong-


is that she tested it locally on her computer. If this is the case it wouldn't be on a host yet until she gets it working.

If she is getting the problem where the table doesn't read anything (border and the background color), then there is a major flaw somewhere... especially if others having the exact same code (CSS and HTML) are seeing it perfectly... I don't see how that works.

Maybe it's that dot that keeps magically disappearing.

Anyway, she gave us the HTML she was using and in it, she was linking a CSS hosted online... she either didn't upload the CSS or didn't change the href part when she was linking her document to a stylesheet.



@iveysaur: What kind of editor are you using to create your site?

<.< I see what happened. -idiot-
I changed hosts and I forgot to change the url for the style sheet from comuv to x10hosting. xDD

And um.. now the styles work but the cells don't have a border. x.x -no sure how to do that-

I use.. FrontPage. xD

Don't you have it when a simple problem gets the best of you? :lol:

Or do you mean the border for the cells? If so, do the following.
Code: [ Select ]
.table td {
     border: 1px solid #000000;
}
  1. .table td {
  2.      border: 1px solid #000000;
  3. }

Read the post I posted earlier to make cells have borders.

Sometimes, the system glitches and makes you double-post.

I didn't add the 1 after table... (.table1) I hope you caught that.

Code: [ Select ]
.table1 td { border: 1px solid #000000; }


And don't worry, you're not bothersome... I do what you are doing even as we speak :lol: (My site review thread haha )

Ahh. I got it now. c:

I have another question. :x

Xhtml doesn't allow html tags in text areas, so is there another way to display the html to the visitor?

Sorry for the double post. >.<

Ehh, not really. Another mod recently recommended Google Syntax Highlighter in another section. It could perhaps aid you in what you're attempting to do.

I tested it and when I copied the code on firefox and safari through the text area it copied the < and > as normal.

o: So thanks. xD
