I know it's not the forum I want. If you could direct me to a forum, that would be appreciated. But I kind of favor this one. Been going to the Adobe script forum, but not sure if is was appropriate there either.

But, here's my problem...

Here's my webpage so far. (Created in Illustrator 9, saved for web)

<http://home.nycap.rr.com/paulanddee/>

Just started to learn how to add text and links to it. I can't understand why "Dee's Favorite Links" isn't like on one line like "Daisy's favorite links" Can anyone help me?

This is my notepad stuff...



Daisy's Favorite Links




color="FF00CC">www.nylabone.com <http://www.nylabone.com>


color="FF00CC">www.fatcats.com <http://www.fatcats.com>


color="FF00CC">www.petco.com <http://www.petco.com>


color="FF00CC">www.oes.org/ <http://www.www.oes.org/>


color="FF00CC">www.purina.com <http://www.purina.com>


Dees Favorite Links



color="FF00CC">www.adobeforums.com <http://www.adobeforums.com>



I added crop marks to the page so no overhangs would be in the way.

I do notice it changes when I place it in here. Extra spaces. I don't know. It's been trial and error all day for me.

Hi, Wade. The problem is "Dee's favorite links is on 3 different lines. I want it to be on one line. It's written the same way as Daisy's links.

The pictures are masked, so the originals do hang off the boarder. But I used crop marks for the final save to web.

Dee,

Some things that may help:

use tables. Tables can help dictate how wide an area is.
You've got duplicate tags for colors.. the style and the font tags. You only need one.

You've got a random < /html> tag in there. When you should enclose everything between the < html > and < /html > tags.

You've got an extra body tag in there.

Here's a page I did with the same info. I also added some cascading styles to help the code a bit.

Zip File <http://www.weichertcreative.com/dees.zip>

Hope that helps.

Scott, thank you so much. I'll check out the differences between the two files. I just started learning this yesterday, so thanx for the help. The duplicate style and font thing was just something I was throwing in to figure out why I was getting the 3 lines.

About the color, the site I was learning from said that I should do the RGB color and the hex color for all browser users. I noticed you use only the hex color. Do you think I really need to put in both?

I've never used RGB values for anything. Browsers render the hex value. I really don't know why you would ever need the RGB values.

Well, then I guess that'll make things alot easier. I noticed you use css. I read something about that yesterday. Should I try to learn that instead? Is it easier?
