Hi,

I designed a website lately and, being totaly newbie at it, i experienced a problem.

I made those pages through word, then later on edited with an HTML editor to make the pictures appear.

Some friends of mine are telling me that they cannot see the pictures display, and that my website does not support firefox navigators (and possibly other navigators as well). How can it be and how can I fix that ?

My website is : www.zhentilkeep.net

Any clue will be welcome !
Thanks in advance,

~Hoar.

Word is for writing documents to be printed on paper. Never use it for web documents.
Use a Notepad or HTML-kit (http://www.chami.com/html-kit/)
Read the following tutorials; HTML and CSS at W3Schools (http://www.w3schools.com/default.asp)

90% of the CSS is inside a conditional statement!

If you do create your document via MS Word, when you're ready to save it as a HTML document, do a "Save As" and select "Web Page, Filtered" for the file type. This will eliminate a lot of the MS proprietary crap and bloated HTML markup that Word will otherwise inject into the saved page.

Could you develop a bit further ? As I said I'm a real newbie at web designing... Thanks.

In the meanwhile, I've had other friends checking the site. They also use firefox as browser and have no problem seeing the image files.

I do have translated the portal in a real html file, but doing it with my homepage (www.zhentilkeep.net/home.html) messes up the columns and tabs widths.

So, should I remake that page from the scratch or should I leave it as it is (acknowledging that I do save the files as filtered web pages) ? I'm listening all kind of comments and advises, and report of troubles for those who wanna visit the links to check if they're working.

Thanks again.

OUCH! HTML Tidy is really dissin' that home page. Fang is right on track as usual.

Too many errors. Not all warnings/errors were shown.
176 errors / 387 warnings

If you run it through the W3C HTML validator (http://validator.w3.org/), you get all sorts of errors: http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.zhentilkeep.net%2Fhome.html

In the long run, you'd be better off learning some HTML and CSS and creating the page from scratch. See www.htmldog.com for some decent tutorials.

It is always easier to recode a web page from scratch than it is to try to fix the mess that Word creates. The Word HTML format is intended to be converted back into a Word document and not used as a web page.
