I taught myself HTML over the past few weeks using the tutorials below and this forum. I’d been using WebPics, but I needed more control over the layout. http://www.htmlhelp.com/reference/html40/, http://www.weijers.net/guide/, http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/cover.html#minitoc, http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/Guide/.

iCab has an error checker; I’ve gotten down from more than 20 errors to just 2, but I can’t find them. As I fixed errors, the consistency between browsers improved and the page loaded faster.

So my questions are:

1) Can someone find the last two errors, because I can't.
Error (16/1): The start tag for </P> can't be found.
Error (54/1): The start tag for </TABLE> can't be found.

2) In Navgator & Explorer (not iCab) there should be much less (horizontal) space between "Models" and the note that follows. The same at "Materials". I'm out of ideas - any advice?

3) Does Navgator overide these?
p.nav { font-size: 10pt; }
a { font-size: 10pt; }
a:active { font-size: 10pt; }
a:visited { font-size: 10pt; }
a:hover { font-size: 10pt; }
The font size I get for these in Navgator is too small. Is there a way to get these legible? Most people who go to the c4d page will have high resolution monitors, so only the young & perfect will be able to read it.

I am not sure what you wish to do. Do you want the images to be displayed side-by-side? If so, you may do the following


<h1 class=title>C4D MODELS & MATERIALS</h1>
<hr>
<h2 class=title>Models</h2>
<p>click an image to download the model</p>

<div>
<A HREF="models/TableChairsLamp.sit"><img
src="c4dpictures/table-chairs.jpg" alt="Table Chairs></A>

<A HREF="models/WickerGlobe.c4d.sit"><img
src="c4dpictures/wicker globe.jpg" alt="Wicker globe"></A>

<!-- ... and so forth -->
</div>

If you float the images, they will be displayed side-by-side. You may also specify margin (of say 5px) around the image. The corresponding style defn will be

div img { float: left; border: none; margin: 5px; }

I recomend using http://validator.w3.org

It's the official place to test you markup. If you like to use additional validators then go ahead, but for starters it's quite hard for people to track down your specific software to test with so we know what is going on (and in this case Mac ONLY software).
