Thanks for the quick response Grim and Sharky! I wish the answer were otherwise, but this is what I figured would be the case. I must be more careful about backing up regularly, but the good news is that I had a *fairly* recent back-up and so I did not lose as much as I might have. Time to...

In October or November of 2012, I added a website to x10hosting as a temporary place to display a project that I and a coworker were working on. In the meantime, two catastrophes occurred in my life. The first was the death of my father, which delayed my work on the extraneous project (the...

Thanks to everyone for the great advice, and especially to Stan for taking so much time to tidy up my code! :) I am learning as much (if not more) on these forums as I am in my HTML class. It's nice to have alternate perspectives to complement my textbook, which is sometimes more than a...

THIS IS SO WONDERFUL! Thank you so much for all of the wonderful tips and edits (both those that are absolutely necessary and those aimed at improving the look of my site). I have so much to learn, but with my experience in designing printed publications, it's been a bit maddening to have so...

I can't thank you enough for your help. As I'm just getting started, it's easy to get overwhelmed with all of the options for layout, and a textbook that contains deprecated stuff doesn't help (especially considering what they charge for it!). I'll definitely be back to see what you have to...

essellar, Thank you so much for your speedy and helpful reply. The part of your reply that interests me the most is the last paragraph. Since I'm auditing this course, I have a little more freedom to stray from the text. I don't want to spend too much time learning deprecated methods. At...

Hello, I have been using x10hosting to host a website that I've created for a college class in web design. My class culminates in a final project that requires me to put the components of my site (which previously worked well in div containers) into frames. Here is what I had to work with...

@ c.soloman: Yes, thank you. I'm just figuring that out, which means that I have quite a bit of work to do on my pages--swapping some ids for classes. Fun, fun! :) And you're right, I closed the label tag twice on my first go at it (a bad copy/paste job). @ mission: Thank you so much for...

Thank you so much for the speedy reply! Your instructions worked perfectly! :) As I'm still learning, I mixed up that the id tags could be different while the name tags *must* remain the same in any given group, for radio buttons . . . and I'm guessing, for checkboxes too. My textbook and...

Hello, I can't figure out why my radio buttons aren't working properly. For some reason, the way I have them coded allows that they can all be selected at once. As I understand it, when I select one, any button that's already selected should deselect. Does anyone have any idea why my code...

Thank you so much! These links provide wonderful explanations. I should have thought to check W3C but I am still so new to all this. W3C has such great information and tutorials, and this forum is great too! Thanks, again, for your help! Cheers, M. B.

Hello all, I am considering adding an alternate style sheet to my new web site (first-ever web site . . . . I'm a newbie!), and I'm not quite sure how to handle the alternate style sheets. I want to make sure that most (preferably all) browsers will understand my default preferences. Here's...

Thanks, everyone! :) These tips are *really* helpful! For now, I'll definitely stick with putting stuff on the web that I don't care if it gets crawled. In fact, it sounds like if I want to publicize my business that I will want to be sure that I get indexed. Great advice so far! Thanks...

Thank you! That's what I thought, but it was hard to tell from reading the literature. I definitely want my site indexed. If any pages are private, I plan to password protect them. Thanks for your time!

Hello, I am VERY new to HTML/XHTML and web design. I've dabbled a bit, but I'm finally taking a class and learning how build a page the right way. I'm just learning about meta tags and how I can use them to make my site more visible on search engines. That all seems pretty clear. What I...
