Hey all!

Looking for some help on a site that is not live yet but I need to finish up to make it that way.

PLEASE NOTE: The objective here is to avoid going back to Dreamweaver and relying on Design View as I always have in the past. Any help to accomplish this would be fantastic but as I need to get this taken care of in the next day or so, or I will have to revert back if I am not able to come up with solutions.

At this point, I have 4 primary issues I need some guidence with as far as CSS goes. This really is in the index page only as the CSS file is for the site.

1 the image does not show when I test in FF.

2 the "boxtext" needs to stay inside the box and be centered.

3 I need to make the entire page the same color as the "container". When I try to add the background color to the #body, everything just turns white!

4 the header mouseover images are too big for the allotted space and need to show within the dimensions specified.

Also, anything else you happen to notice would be great!

I hope at this point I have given enough info as well as the zip file...

Thanks!

I am replying to this (my own) thread in hopes of getting help on one specific issue as the rest have been solved...

This is point #2 of the post:

2 the "boxtext" needs to stay inside the box and be centered.

Anyone willing to take a look at this?

I took a look at this briefly and one problem you'll have to fix is your extra div tags. When I opened it up in the DW code view the colors indicated that your tagging is off so you definitely want to go through make sure you've closed everything and that you don't have extra tags.

That could explain why it's not reading your code properly for the "boxtext" ID. Notice it's not even picking up your font family? It's not displaying Verdana as you specified. It's using the default Times New Roman. So that's a clear sign something is off with your coding because the browser is ignoring all your attributes for that boxtext ID.

I'm sort of in a crunch for time so couldn't devote a lot of time to it but I think it's your code because the width parameters you have for your boxtext ID should work and not make the text run off.

Lisa is pointing you in the right direction. You need to review your code looking for omissions in particular.

One key omission I noticed is the closing tag for your ul:

<div class="navlinks">

<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.healinghandsbybelinda.com">HOME</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.healinghandsbybelinda.com/about.html">ABOUT</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.healinghandsbybelinda.com/services.html">SERVICES</a></li>

<br/><br/>WELCOME TO HEALING HANDS BY BELINDA

</div>

When you don't close one tag it can easily mess up a lot of other tags. [Not relevant to the point, but I find it strange where your div ends, after the Welcome...]

Another problem I see is again one I observe often, you do not have a doctype statement at the beginning of your file. When you omit this browsers assume they are reading an old file using antiquated code and interpret you files accordingly. You are much better to include this statement to identify your html practice. If you are unfamiliar with the doctype, check it out on w3schools.com.
