Hi, i wanna know how can i put this page in the middle even for other resolutions: www.velunka.ee

In firefox the buttons doesn't work and pictures won't display. In IE, at different resolutions, the page isn't in the center... Anyone know how to fix/help?

Just don't use Microsoft FrontPage.. the code is a mess. If you need to use a WYSIWYG, than go for Adobe Dreamweaver.

Anyway, if you want it to be aligned middle for any resolution apply these lines to the main container div

Code:

#main_container {
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
width: 800px; (put here the width you want)
}

You absolutely MUST use a proper DOCTYPE on ALL of your pages if you want any hope of cross-browser compatibility.

Validate your code, you've got some nasty errors.

**Kenert** · 07-13-2009, 11:39 AM

So i have to do everything from the beginning? Or is there any way i could copy it, without the "bad code" to come too?

**LadynRed** · 07-13-2009, 02:27 PM

Seriously.. you should start over without FrontPage. You should also understand that FP produces pages that will ONLY work with IE - and the world just doesn't work that way - which is why your pages are broken in GOOD browsers like Firefox.

There are stickies here that explain how to center your website.
Putting a proper DOCTYPE on your page will probably be a manual thing, since FP apparently doesn't know what a DOCTYPE is

Now another problem... Used Dreamweaver, but it doesn't show up in IE... Only in Firefox and it has problems: www.velunka.ee/tood2.html

Can someone please help?

**LadynRed** · 07-14-2009, 04:04 PM

Well, one BIG problem is invalid code.

Quote:

You can NOT wrap the <head> section in that moldy old <center> tag. Remove that.

You STILL need a proper DOCTYPE on your pages.

You still have all that nasty proprietary FP code in there. Dreamweaver can remove all that garbage code left over from FP.

Why do you have all those huge images in <input> tags ??

**Kenert** · 05:06 PM

How can i take the garbage out of there?

Dreamweaver put the input thing :/

And sorry for being so stupid, but how to add DOCTYPE?

**LadynRed** · 07-15-2009, 02:42 PM

How do you add a doctype ? Dreamweaver should be able to do it for you if you're using a recent version. If not, go into Code view and add it at the very top of the page before the <head>

You can find the different doctypes and what they are for here:

There is a DW extension available to remove FP garbage:

I still didn't understand!

Can you explain the way that an idiot like me would understand something? I'm totally new to this HTML coding

**LadynRed** · 07-15-2009, 09:14 PM

The DOCTYPE goes in your document like this:

Code:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
    
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>
    <title></title>
</head>

In Dreamweaver, go to CODE VIEW and paste the DOCTYPE (in bold) into your pages at the very top of your page.

You need to head over to www.w3schools.com and learn some HTML.

**JTcuy** · 07-17-2009, 01:48 PM

After visit your website...It really hard for LadynRed

just joking

hi Kenert, you should learn the basic about html.
Html script has its formular and you should follow it to edit your web page.
You also have to know how and where to insert the code.

but it's glad that you're willing to learn

**Kenert** · 05:17 AM

I can't manage to download the extension to delete FP garbage

I just can't find it

EDIT: ****... I give up... Can someone help me do the page? If someone wants to do it, add me to MSN kenertk@hotmail.com there is easier to give others some files. I promised my father i would complete it(he needs it for his job(he is the owner of some building company)), but HTML is too complicated for me. Sorry

**Kenert** · 07-27-2009, 12:37 PM

Don't even look at my last post... I have tried again... I have a very very weird problem, the page won't scroll... www.velunka.ee/kaminad.html

**LadynRed** · 07-27-2009, 12:49 PM

Scrolls fine in Firefox, so which browser is the problem.

**stephan90** · 07-28-2009, 02:48 AM

Problem for the firefox use in the search engine optimization.

**Braidy Panda** · 07-28-2009, 08:14 AM

I didn't see that and I've already uninstalled and reinstalled FF 2. I think I'm going to wait to try to reinstall until they've updated FF 3. Maybe they'll have gotten rid of some of the bugs that people seem to be having. I also didn't like how they seemed to adopt Opera's location bar feature where bookmarked links come up when you start typing. Also, even my font was somehow different here at MGs with FF 3

**Kenert** · 04:38 AM

I still didn't quite get it, can you explain it? Would it be possible to see it with IE too?

EDIT: Sorry my bad, but some "boxes" are missing... it should look totally different on the upper side and a box with info is missing on down side :/
