HTML / CSS Forum

I've just given one of my sites (www.wealdbroadband.co.uk) an overhaul. Anyone know if there is a way of fixing text at a certain relative position down a page? I'd like the "(c) 2003 ..." notice to appear at the same place as you go through the pages, but it varies if you alter the window width and cause a line to wrap/unwrap. -- Nige

Hello all, I'm trying to convert some files from html into xhtml with HTML Tidy, GUI version. It does a great job, except that it uncurls all the quotation marks, single and dubble.

About once a week, I post an FAQ pointer in this newsgroup under the same heading as this post. That pointer has two purposes: 1. To keep regulars from having to post the standard answers to standard questions again and again; if you have a standard question, you might save yourself some time by first reading the available material for this...

Hello All, Is it possible to have alternating color font for DropDown/List box in html? I have an FatClient application written in C, and I am trying to webify it. The application uses alternative color fonts in a dropdown/list box. So I was hoping to do the same for the web application.

Needless to say, the page barely even showed up and the lower half,...

However, if you click the refresh button in the toolbar - it does....

Any experts on mailto: tags? I want to set a link so that the subject and some of the body of the email is filled in. This is easy for simple text, although you need to use %20 for spaces: <a href="mailto:nobody@nowhere.com ?subject=Your web site &body=This%20is%20the%20%body!"> click here</a>

I tried validating a page with nested <ul>'s and it's complaining. I haven't found any specific documentation in the standard that says you can't, but maybe it's there and I'm not seeing it. Otherwise, my page must have a syntax error somewhere I haven't yet found. I also thought of something that might work. Is it acceptable to make a...

Hi, I have downloaded the source code and installed everything on http://validator.w3.org/source/. I have the validator 'working' offline with Apache2.
