Exclamation Line not wrapping in table

Hi, I have a website (not finished) but am encountering some problems already. (http://www.marc-online.co.uk) It was fine until today, the page has suddenly became skewed accross the screen and the writing in firefox doesnt take a new line! Have a look for your self both in IE and Firefox. I think that firefox is skewing it accross the screen because it isnt taking a new line. Can anyone else help please?

Re: I have a problem.

Please write a more meaningful topic next time! "I have a problem" does nothing for the people looking for help or looking to help you!

Although I can disable the no-right-click JS feature in 2 seconds ... when you need help with something make sure EVERYTHING!! is available.

In other words ... drop the no-right-click JS.

Now ... as for you problem, I'll take a wild guess and say it's because of those <pre> tags you have in there that aren't closed.

Why are you using <pre> tags anyways? <pre> is for "preformatted text" and as far I can tell ... you don't have that in your site ... it's just text. So ... use the <p> ... </p> tags instead or whatever element is relevant.

Stuff like this
Code: Select all
<pre class="style12"><u><strong>Latest Site News</strong>
should be in <h1>, <h2> or tags..

Never trust DW's WYSIWYG ... stick to code view and hand-code you pages.

ALWAYS use the official validator - http://validator.w3.org/

Re: Line not wrapping in table

It's a good start. Just take a look at using diffferent elements for different things (like h1, h2, h3 etc. for headings). And put all of you css in your external file (or in a different one, if you want).

Pete.
