Re: HTML/Website Help
 
I'd start by proofreading the HTML. The head and body elements are a little scrambled up, and there are two opening body tags. Put the style and link tags into the head section.

Also check the rest of the structure--make sure tags are nested properly, the document is organized into a tree, etc.

No problems with the CSS jump out at me, but it'll be hard to tell until the HTML is fixed and reorganized.

I put the html through a service called HTML Tidy, and that's what it gave me. I put it through a validator and it won't validate because something in one of the lined is no utf-8. Is there anything that looks wrong with the HTML? It's the same as it was before, but reorganized by that program.

Re: HTML/Website Help
 
According to the W3C validator, you've got 7 errors and 1 warning. The warning (which is the UTF-8 bit) is ok to ignore for now, but you should focus on the errors.

I hope you used this to validate: http://validator.w3.org/

Re: HTML/Website Help
 
The w3 validator validated the HTML, but the page still looks awful in IE. Is there anything else I can do?

Edit
It validates only when I directly put the code into the validator, but if I type "http://www.team3167.webs.com/index.htm" into the "validate by URL tab" I get a fatal error about line 80 containing something that is not utf-8.

Re: HTML/Website Help
 
I don't know much about coding but I think you should close the <head>? I only saw a starting tag but not an ending one.

Re: HTML/Website Help
 
There's a </head> I just checked.

Re: HTML/Website Help
 
It's the copyright symbol near the bottom. Try using the entity "&copy;" instead of the symbol.

(If you have a text editor that shows line numbers (I use Notepad++), that sometimes helps interpret the validator feedback. For this page, the validator said the bad character was on line 80, but I think that was a couple lines off.)

Edit: Also, I think the IE problems are related to the use of positioning in the stylesheet. One way to debug this is to go back to a blank stylesheet (both mystyle.css and the CSS in the head section) and add items back to the stylesheet one at a time, in order to see the individual effects of each change.

Re: HTML/Website Help
 
The strange thing is that when the images are not aligned right, they stay above the nav bar, once align right is put in, it throw the images to the middle of the bar.
