Resolved Question: CSS/XHTML Layout issue when rendering?
My website when displayed locally in I.E 7 and Firefox has the layout output as I expected.
However when rendered with Dreamweaver and Geocities web hosting the footer looks different than expected as it should be the same size as the header.
See page:-
http://www.geocities.com/raisin_smiles/index.html
The footer css code is as below (previous css does a clear:both to remove any other formatting)
#footer
{
border: 1px solid #000000;
background: #CC99FF;
text-align: center;
position: absolute;
bottom: 20px;
left: 20px;
right: 20px;
}
In dreamweaver and Geocities the footer borders size is generated from the content with the text being aligned from the left.
Using the css margin settings I expected the footer to run across the whole of page with 20px left/right margins with the text centered in the middle (Which it does in I.E.7 and Firefox when ran locally).
If i use dreamweaver to change the width of the footer/div border it hardcodes the width xx px setting in the external css.
Can anyone help me out, as I don't want to hardcode the width setting in as it could be run in any resolution?
Thanks
From viewing the site its divided by
Header, Navigation, Right (text) column and Left (pic) column.
Using width 100% as expected aligns it to the left as per left column and is still only the size of its contents.
Using full name margin-left, margin-right makes no difference.
I understand the left column being the last element that why width can't be used in this instance.
Open Question: Web page layout issue when hosted by Yahoo Geocities?
My web page when viewed locally in both Internet Explorer 7 and Firefox is displayed as intended.
When hosted by Yahoo Geocities the footer is displayed wrong as appears to be compressed.
Which I thought maybe related to how Geocities renders the page after reading this article (see below)
http://www.quirksmode.org/css/quirksmode.html
Heres my page
http://www.geocities.com/raisin_smiles/index.html
Below is the code for the xhtml doc type, footer and css for the footer division.
Any help would be appreciated, if more code required then please let me know, thanks!
Css:
#clearbreak1,clearbreak2,clearbreak3
{
clear: both;
}
#footer
{
border: 1px solid #000000;
background: #CC99FF;
text-align: center;
position: absolute;
bottom: 20px;
left: 20px;
right: 20px;
}
Just to note it has been validated so there are no mistakes within the xhtml code.
The site is ficitional and for a college assignment.
I do however donate to amnestiy international monthly and Im a student :-)
CSS has also been validated via W3C without problems.
Just to confirm the footer should extend across the bottom of the page.
Currently the footer only occupies the width of the text, rather than width of the screen with text centered.
To reconfirm it renders locally without issues.

Resolved Question: Why does the website I built look different when I view it on different computers & different size monitors?
I built my website using WYSIWYG Web Builder 5. It is a fairly simple tool to use but my site looks different when I see it uploaded on different computers.
Sometimes the background doesn't cover the background all the way to the top, bottom, left or right.
On some computers the text, pictures, and images looked stretched or pushed too far to one side or the other.
WYSIWYG doesn't seem to mean what it stands for because what I see in the program is not always what I'm getting on the screen.
How can I center my web pages and keep my site looking relatively normal no matter which computer someone views it on?
Thanks!

Resolved Question: Are French Latin Europeans, Have somebody heard of a Arco Latino or Latin Union all Latin European Unions?
Are French Latin Europeans, Have somebody heard of a Arco Latino or Latin Union all Latin European Unions?
Latin Europe is designated to all the country where Romance languages are spoken and, their cultures are deriveted from the Latins that were the Romans in Italy.Today Latin Europe are Spain Portugal,France,Rumania, and Italy.
Arco Latino is a Union of the countries of France,Spain and Italy www.arcolatino.org/en
Latin Union is a union of Romance speaking languages, though from very varied backgrounds, they share a linguistic heritage and a system of historical, legal and cultural. It is therefore natural that this family, though scattered and very diversified, has acquired an institution dedicated to promoting and disseminating a common heritage and identity of the Latin world.

Voting Question: Objective Developing HTML page?
Objective
This assignment has been designed to give students a hands-on experience of:
Developing HTML page
Validation of web page using JavaScript
Assignment
It is required to build a web page using interactive form with the following specifications as shown in the diagram:
Here are the details:
The page background is Grey.
First line is written in H3 tag.
Then there is a table with border size = 6 and it is center aligned.
The VU_ID field should not allow entering more than 11 characters.
You have to provide your City name as the default value in City field.
Now if “Reset All” button is clicked, all the fields must be reset to their default values.
If “Verify” button is pressed, it should check the following things:
a.If the text entered in VU_ID field is not your VU_ID, then it must display a message.
b.If Name and City fields are empty, then it must display a message.
After displaying the message, focus must be given to that field where the required information is missing.
You have to make a function to perform all these verifications (discussed in point ‘a’ and ‘b’ above) and then simply call this function when Verify button is clicked.
Once all the required information is verified, it must open VU home page (http://www.vu.edu.pk) in new window
Note: You are required to submit the HTML file (with .html extension) for this assignment. No other file will be accepted.
Demonstration:
For example my VU_ID is BC080400001, so I will build the web page like this:
If I enter anything in the VU_ID field except my VU_ID (BC080400001 or bc080400001), and click Verify button, it must display a message, like this (after displaying this message, focus must be returned to the VU_ID field):
If I don’t enter anything in Name field and click Verify button, then it must display this message (after displaying this message, focus must be returned to the Name field):
Same is the case with the City field.
Once all the required information is verified, it must open VU home page (http://www.vu.edu.pk) in new window, like this:
Additional information:
For security reasons, some browsers display an information bar, if you try to open the web page in which you have used JavaScript.
Simply click on this information bar and select Allow Blocked Content...
Then Click “Yes” button to confirm.

Resolved Question: Why in Firefox, does my browser sometimes only show text and links?
I use Firefox v2, and I have a major problem. My provider is AT&T, so that could also be the problem I guess.
When I load web pages, usually after the browser has been open for 30min or more, sometimes all that comes up is the links on the page and text. All in black and blue on a white background, and no images or other colors are present. It looks like a list rather than a website.
Can anyone tell me what is going on and how can I fix this annoying problem?
