HELP!!! In deep trouble with my site layout!

Postby Liger'smane » Thu May 19, 2005 7:56 pm

I don't know what is going wrong, but my site looks like it is a bomb zone. PLZ HELP!

My site is at "http://www.elvenparadise.com/".

Uh. What's this *supposed* to be:
Code: Select all
<td valign="top" width="(width of pics/middletop.jpg)"
 background="pics/middlebg.jpg">


I'm guessing there are supposed to be widths in there.

The text "(width of pics/middletop.jpg)" needs to be replaced with the acutal width of the picture.

You'll need to replace all of them, probably.

Well, the code on that site has this example:

Code: Select all
 <html>
<head>
<title>Magitek Designs - Table Tutorial - 1</title>
</head>

<body topmargin="0" leftmargin="0" rightmargin="0" bottommargin="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0">


<table width="700" height="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" align="center">
<tr>
<td height="122" colspan="5"><img src="tables/top.jpg" width="700" height="122" border="0"></td>
</tr>


<tr>
<td valign="top" width="47" background="tables/leftbg.jpg"><img src="tables/lefttop.jpg" width="47" height="378" border="0"></td>
<td valign="top" width="270" background="tables/menubg.jpg"><img src="tables/menutop.jpg" width="270" height="256" border="0">

<p>This is the side menu. Fantastic!</p>

</td>
<td valign="top" width="25" background="tables/middlebg.jpg"><img src="tables/middletop.jpg" width="25" height="378" border="0"></td>
 <td valign="top" width="336" background="tables/content.jpg"> <p>This is the side menu. Fantastic!</p>
</td>
<td valign="top" width="22" background="tables/rightbg.jpg"><img src="tables/righttop.jpg" width="22" height="378" border="0"></td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>



I still see a bunch of lines like:

Code: Select all
<table width="(width of top.jpg)" height="100%" cellpadding="0"
 cellspacing="0" border="0" align="center">


in yours.

I'd try removing them completely to start with, then.

Uh oh. I meant take out the "width = " statements, not the whole graphic stuff.


BTW: Your 2nd table doesn't have any row or collum specifiers.

Ok, I've restarted the page... does it look better?

You're the ultimate authority on that, I should say.

I noticed a couple of close HTML tags in there, and those should only go at the bottom. You might want to add a </body> tag at the bottom too.
