Not just that, but once the CSS file has been loaded once by the browser, it will cache it meaning it doesn't have to be downloaded each time you go to a new page.

Looks pretty good from here, nice one.

Though if you can, place the styles within their own style sheet file (giving it a .css extension), as it'll make it easier to manage when it starts to grow. You can link to it by putting the following within the ... tags:

Contextual/Pseudo selectors.

CSS has a ranking system based on score of 0-0-0

#menu only scores 0-0-1
td#menu scores 0-1-1

Making td#menu more important in the hierachy than just #menu

It also negates the need for a div if using tables as it gived the td the same behaviour as a div of the same name.

It someting I only discovered a couple of months back after enquiring what the property inspector of Topstyle was doing.

Tyla, why do you need the "TD" before #menu... ?

Surely #menu does exactly the same thing?

LOL!!!!!!!

The whole point of using standards is so that you can gurantee compatability across ALL Browsers!!

As for the deep end, EVERYONE should be starting with xHTML 1.0 Trans, there's very little different apart from having to learn to code correctly instea dof relying on lazy translation of 4.0.

Some people just dont get it do they!!

FWIW:




















































Is totally invalid. You can only use an ID once in a document, repeated styles should be in classes.

The above could also be reduced to:



  • HOME

  • VIDEOS

  • FLASH GAMES

  • EXE GAMES

  • FLASH MOVIES

  • DOWNLOADS
  • FUNNY PICTURES

  • AUDIO FILES

  • JOKES

  • SILLY STUFF

  • GUESTBOOK

  • LINKS

  • FUNNY CDS

  • FREE WEB DESIGN

  • CONTACT

  • SEARCH




Your CSS would look something like:

td#menu {...}
td#menu ul {...}
td#menu li {...}

Thats why I cry when I see ASP or MYSql. Even when I use it, I cry.

I've just spent the last 15 minutes trying to work out why the database won't connect properly.

I then realise that instead of including connection.php (contains the database info,) I've copied it straight from the old design where it's including $connection from a variables file.

It's annoying, stupid little things like that really do my head in.
