HTML newbie stuck!
|
Hello forum
I have taken over the upkeep and design of my website, designed last year.
I'm working slowly through a number of error messages which seem to be caused by the original software design and as I dont have a webdesigner package I am learning HTML longhand - no dreamweaver/frontpage etc.
I have a problem with a particular scrolling banner, which doesn't appear when viewing online, but appears when I view the page via IpswitchFTP software.
C:\Users\Ian\AppData\Roaming\Ipswitch\WS_FTP\Storage\medievalspectacular.htm this seems to work yet it doesn't show when viewing in normal browser.
Am confused by this.
If anyone can help me with my [numerous] problems I would be grateful.
The exact coding for the banner advert is as follows-
<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="border-collapse: collapse" bordercolor="#111111" width="100%" id="AutoNumber1" height="1">
<tr>
<td width="22%" height="109">
<marquee style="color:#000000; text-decoration: blink; font-weight: bold; font-size: 18pt; border-style: double; border-width: 3px; background-image: url('photo/tlobanner.jpg')" width="202" height="29">Just confirmed August Bank Holiday 2008 PENSTHORPE , near FAKENHAM, NORFOLK. Pending confirmation on ROCHESTER CASTLE, KENT September 2008</marquee></td>
<td width="3%" height="109"> </td>
<td width="76%" height="109" colspan="3">
When loading that page off the Internet the banner flashes for a split second- whereas it should scroll repeatedly
Help! I know my site has numerous errors- please don't laugh - this is something I am trying to get to grips with and need some constructive advice.

I think the problem might be that your page has a black background and black text. Try changing the font colour to white and that might sort it.
I'd suggest you learn some basic CSS. That will let you set up a style sheet and then remove most of the formatting stuff from the html document which will make it a lot easier to see what is going on, and helps make sure all the pages share a common look.

The problem is the code "text-decoration: blink" remove this and that should solve your problem.
