Yes. So your menu might look something like:
<a href="Home.html">Home</a>
Demos
<a href="About.html">About Us</a>
Video
<a href="Whatever.html">Whatever</a>
Got it! I don't have all my links set up yet but I understand what you are saying.

Are they in Subdirectories (subfolders)? If so, it may be a path problem. Have a read on this page.

And you don't need both
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/include/fabs webpage.css">
and
<style type="text/css">
</style>
so I would remove the
<style type="text/css">
</style>
Yes I too wondered about the <style><style/> after linking to the css file...didn't seem necessary.
The truth is I already had and understanding of the absolute/relative path linking but the editor tutorial confused me on this.
My pages are displaying perfectly in the editor view but not in the browser. Obviously I still have problems somewhere but I don't understand why. Maybe I'll check my code with Notepad to see if that makes a difference.
What browser are you using? What's different between what you see in the browser compared to what you see in the designer?
Sorry, never got back to this thread after the other day. Just finishing an 8000 word physics assignment so I'm gonna be busy for another few hours
When I have a spare 20 minutes I'll take a look over the HTML you posted and see if I can point out any improvements.
I wound up with empty folders on the server. Then I tried making the directories on the server first and then transferring the files...but nothing has worked so far.
Does all the "meta and title" section have to appear in the head on each successive page? Obviously the linked css does, but what about the rest?
I'm using WS FTP...I'm not sure how the transferred files are supposed to look on the server...I mean, should I have the images and css in separate directories as they are in separate folders in my root file on my computer? The css link also points to /include/ which is the folder I keep them in. As I stated the images in my "images" directory are showing just fine...except for one "background" on pages subsequent to the index.
It would help to mirror the directory structure on your local machine.
Have you tried doing an FTP through the Windows Explorer, instead of using WS FTP?
Here's instructions on how to do that if you want to give it a try:

Will do and I'll report back.

I'm going cross-eyed on this BS. The account for our web host is owned by another member of the band so I can't make up new login and password info. I open IE and the home page comes up. I type in the ftp host name and a diag box pops up saying WS FTP is my default...I click to opt out of that and login diag box comes up. I type in info and it goes back to the default diag. WS FTP...I'm in a loop. I guess I'll double check the login info but I'm not getting a login error notice. I don't get it?
PS Double checked the login info and I was correct.
Instead of trying it with IE, try it with Windows Explorer (like when you click on My Computer).
Try the username this way (in Windows Explorer):
ftp://username@www.whatever.com
And see what happens.
Otherwise, when you log in through WS FTP, do you see the CSS files anywhere, at all? If you don't see t hem, that's your problem with your styles.
Ok that worked but....there is still no style. All the files are showing to be there...they were also there with WS_FTP. Let me ask this...I had my buddy check with his server whether or not they support PHP...they do not. You don't suppose that is the case with the css extension as well? Dumb question? WS FTP says under options/extensions that all files are transferred as binary except text which is ASCll. Would that have anything to do with it? I tried adding the css extension and it didn't seem to make a difference. If it's not a transfer problem it's got to be in the code somewhere. Also there is still that missing gif. on some of the pages.
The host not supporting PHP should not be a problem.
The .css is a pretty standard extension for CSS files. They're simply text files.
It does sound like it might be a path problem somewhere. Did you mirror the site on your local machine and on the server? If the styles are working locally, and you mirror it exactly on the server, everything should work.
Opened my editor again and previewed in the default browser which is IE. The style is there except that four menu links show as "visited", that's not right.
I took out the "generated by" lines. Do you think this freebie editor requires those lines to be there?
Tell me this...If I build the site using notepad, do I set it up with a root folder and subfolders just like I do with the editor?
More...I opened this as an xhtml page originally. I had an option for that or HTML. I'm so green that I don't know what the difference actually is...would that make a difference.
