They show as visited because you didn't clear your cache in your browser.
I think I've figured this one out...the links that are showing visited are actually links instead of pages, therefore the link is a different color. I'm in the process of double checking this
Yes, absolutely. This will make maintaining your site much easier..
I copy/pasted my code into Notepad and uploaded it. It made no difference on the display...still no "style". Also through experimentation and trial and error I think I'm closer to solving the missing graphic problem. Originally I followed the tutorial where they set up the first table with a logo image on the left and then to fill across the entire length of the remaining page they used another image as background. I'm still no clear on how to size something like that but I removed it as a background image and reinserted it as a normal "image". It then appeared on subsequent pages (at least the one I was working on) in the browser. I still do not understand however why the graphic would be there on the index page but not on the others...
In a nutshell, XHTML is a stricter version of HTML. Essentially, in XHTML, everything (tags and elements) is closed.
For instance, in HTML, to do a line break, you do <br>, whereas in XHTML it's <br />
And you can still use the .html extension. With the newer browsers, you shouldn't notice a difference when it gets rendered.
Well I noticed that one image only is "closed"...that was the logo gif. I tried closing the background image but it didn't change the display but if I've got a mix of html and xhtml in my markup would that cause problems?
The "style" issue is still the main problem. I'll try to retrace all my steps when adding/linking "style" to see where I made a mistake. I guess if worse comes to worse with this simple website I could just not use css and code each page element separately.
