Hi, I'm Milly and I'm new to website design. I am tring to make a website for a small local charity but I'm having some trouble!
I've learned HTML and CSS using internet tutorials etc, but my knowledge is full of holes. I've learned everything with accessibility standards in mind, I don't expect many visitors but I think it is important that websites are accessible to as many people as possible.I've done a site (written using notebook) but things look different in Firefox & IE6 (I've stuck with IE6 because I had some computer problems when I loaded IE7 but i suppose I should upgrade to see what it looks like in IE7 as most people will probably use that!). In particular some of the pictures don't show up in IE6. Can anyone tell me why and does it affect IE7 as well? Also in Firefox some of my background colors go off sideways for miles! The site is at www.northwiltsholidayclub.org.uk if anyone wants a look, it needs serious tidying up I know but it's taken ages to get this far and I promised to get something online by now. I have only tested it in Firefox & IE6 so far (and as I said it doesn't really work in either!) Please be kind, I am totally new to this. We were offered help with a website from an IT person but he couldn't do it after all so I've had a steep learning curve - and I am the wrong side of 35 as well! I am sure my code is full of errors and unnecessary bits. Any tips for making all of this abit easier would be gratefully received. |

Re: Learning website skills for charity website
Thanks for the encouragement.
I just had another look at my site using Firefox and the external links didn't work! They did in IE6 though. What's going on there? I ended up uploading the files a couple of times into various places because I don't know what I'm doing (my hosting situation needs sorting out too but one thing at a time) but the links were the same in all the uploaded files. By the way, anyone looking at my CSS file should bear in mind that although I tried to start off being organised it went abit pear-shaped, there may be surplus divs and rearranged HTML. Sorry! |

Welcome, Milly.... You might want to post in the Critique forum, if you haven't already. And don't worry...it is a great place to get an honest review of your work. They frequently offer suggestions and ideas for improvement.

Re: Learning website skills for charity website
Hi, welcome to the forums. Post up in another forum if you haven't already, you'll get more responses that way. Just had a quick look at your code and first thing i noticed is that your self closing tags (such as img) aren't quite right. They need a space before the closing slash. so it would be <img src="pic.gif" />
Hope you like it here. Pete. |

Good looking for beginner... i have ie6 sp2 and i believe the double borders and alternate colored borders are a bit non-pleasing to the eye.
