So looks like I'm buying a book

HTML for fat feckers

[xoggoth]

I agree with that. If you want to develop and modify pages regularly the easy HTML creators like Dreamweaver, Frontpage etc. are more trouble than they are worth. Too much unecessary code which can get in the way.

Couple of tips.
Forgive me, I am on a german keyboard and cant do the angled brackets and stuff.
It has also been a long day so may need corrections. I have not written any HTML in ages. There are numerous on line beginers guides.

Looking at it you can safely edit out the duplicated bits. Cut from /HTML onwards

HTML normally uses pairs of tags to mark areas.

You would denote the start and end with (in angled brackets)
HTML to /HTML

within that you would have a header to contain your metatags and stuff and a body
so
HEAD /HEAD
BODY /BODY

I would always recomend putting the entire body in a 1 cell table set to 95% to give nice neat borders on any page, but dont have to.

TABLE WIDTH=95% HEIGHT=95%
Rows come in pairs but dtat items dont so
TR TD TD TD /TR will give a row with 3 cells. Use COLSPAN and ROWSPAN to merge if other lines need less cells.
HR BR and P are also singles not pairs giving horizontal line, line break and paragraph.

If you have any spurious text or missing text it is usualy because you have not got your pairings right.
I do HTML by hand. The clever editors put too much spurious crap in the code. Take the time and learn it.

Yes I believe this is the technical part.

So you didnt copy and paste those in or something?
Surely you can just edit the pages to remove them?

I have no idea why they woul dbe there in the first place.

Thanks LG

Why do those pages have "code" after the /BODY /HTML which is visible

LG is this the technical problem part of the forum ?

That's the problem

Why be ashamed? threaded does it all the time...

Yes but his 'gayboysinbondage.com' has a captive audience already with the CUK regulars.

You were correct, Don't know why it happend ?

Maybe a bad save in dreamweaver.

To show it was not a shamless plug.... I've removed the link

[scotspine]

<tr> er="0" align="center" cellpadding="15" cellspacing="30">

This is not a shamless push of my website.

Please look at this

Look at the top left - Why is there code overlapping ?

When I hit preview in dreamweaver it's not there - when it's online it shows !!
