Vyoma 0 Report post Posted July 13, 2006 I am not sure about it, but should the code be something like this: <html><head><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="3"> <tr> <td width="*" align="center"><a href=''><img src='http://dhanesh.astahost.com/wp-content/themes/rin/images/masthead.jpg' alt='IPB' style='vertical-align:center' border='0'/></a> </td> </tr></table> <title><?php echo $site_name; Let me try to simpify the differnce betwee what I have said in the code and the one you indicated as follows.Your code has something like this:<table><tr><a><img></a><td> </td></tr></table>Where as, the one that I have mentioned puts it properly:<table><tr><td><a><img><a></td></tr></table>More over, I have some questions.Dont you want that banner of yours to be clickable? If yes, then I think you should put the URL in the code:<a href=''> part. The single quotes '' should contain the URL.And one more major doubt that arises when I checked the source of your page in an text editor is this:Should not the table code be put at the begining of the <body> </body> block? Why do you have it in the <head> </head> block.More over, if you want just a banner in the center, you do not need to put all those table stuff.All you need to do is put <center><img></center> whereever (in this case, just after <body> ) you want to show the banner.dhanesh, if it is still not clear, then do respond with your doubts and I would clear it out. Also you I think all the HTML could be cleaned up and leaner code can be used to get the same effect. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeahhh .. thankx man .. lol .. i keep f'getting that tags in HTML should be closed properly .. hehe .. i feel so dumb ! .. Newayz .. about your questions .. <a href=''> I duno how and y .. but maybe some of the members might give an explaination to this .. but leaving it like this ALSO links to the homepage .. i guess the "" by default reditects to the main page. Actually, i normally put the header related codes in the HEAD block .. i dunt think it makes a difference anyways .. or does it ? geezz .. complicated stuff never runs tru me .. And for the center part .. ur code was right .. it just had to be put between the correct tags .. thankx for the help .. its done now .. >>LINK<< Regards Dhanesh.

Vyoma 0 Report post Posted July 13, 2006 Wow! I just learned today that even the HTML content that is put with in <head> tags are rendered by the browser. Any way dhanesh, I would suggest few more changes to your code to make it more semantcially proper, and have a cleaner code. First of all take back up of the present code. Next, move the following code <table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="3"> <tr> <td width="*" align="center"><a href=''><img src='http://dhanesh.astahost.com/wp-content/themes/rin/images/masthead.jpg' alt='IPB' style='vertical-align:center' border='0'/></a> </td> </tr></table>form the <head> tags to right below the <body> HTML tag. If that works, then you can try one more thing. Instead of having the elaborate <table>, you could simplify it by replacing it with the following code: <center><a href=''><img src='http://http://imptestrm.com/rg-erdr.php?_dnm=www.esanctumfiles.fundu.org&_cfrg=1&_drid=as-drid-2300300503455222; alt='IPB' style='vertical-align:center' border='0'/></a></center> Tell us if it works.

vujsa 0 Report post Posted July 14, 2006 Wow! I just learned today that even the HTML content that is put with in <head> tags are rendered by the browser. Most browsers today are very forgiving. Many are too forgiving. They do everything that they can to try to parse a document. In the beginning, about half of the web pages served were plain text and you could only get the browser to parse HTML if the file contained valid HTML. Otherwise the entire document was treated like a text document and all of your source code was displayed instead of a parsed HTML document. Now we no longer have to worry about our pages showing up as raw HTML since the browsers tries to fill in the blanks as best as it can which pretty much means anything will get parsed but if you leave a closing tag out, the browser will insert it somewhere and many times not where you would want it. Sometimes it is difficult to find the problem since we usually have a lot of HTML to look at in a single page and we usually assume it is a problem with our CSS or something else. The easiest way to find problems is to write your code in such a way as to make it easier to read in raw form. Good Comments Make Good HTML is an article I wrote that provides tips to aid in writting cleaner code. Using the HTML validator at W3C can help identify missing tags. This tool was created to try to help web designers write more standardized code. Hope this helps. vujsa Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kerouac 0 Report post Posted August 4, 2006 (edited) If you have a web banner you need centered you don't need to use a table. Too many pages rely heavily on tables for layout. Use this: <div align="center">bung your html here</div> It works fine like this. No tables needed either Edited August 4, 2006 by kerouac (see edit history) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
