Help! I have a problem with my web page, and I have no idea what's causing it. I thought maybe there might be some HTML whizzes who read this group who could help me. :-} My web page looks fine on the three browsers I have here on my amiga, even when I set the HTML tolerance to 'strict'. It isn't a huge problem; all it is is that on the pages showing the ascii itself, the title of each picture is supposed to be red, while the picture itself is white. This, as far as I know is fine on the 'NEW stuff" page. But on some pages ,both the title and the pictures are all in red. I don't know why! I 'turned off' the red with /font. I've tried everything I can think of (not much). Could anyone who actually _understands_ HTML have a look at the source for me and see if they can see the problem? Since it looks fine on my browsers, I can't tell if the adjustments I make to the HTML are making any difference. I beleive that the problem pages are: http://www.xs4all.nl/~klr/dogs.html http://www.xs4all.nl/~klr/xmas.html http://www.xs4all.nl/~klr/bears.html http://www.xs4all.nl/~klr/tinybears.html http://www.xs4all.nl/~klr/tokens.html http://www.xs4all.nl/~klr/Sig_ascii.html http://www.xs4all.nl/~klr/oddsandsods.html T.I.A. *Hugs* Hayley

By moving the <B> in front of the <FONT> tag, all the <FONT></FONT> pairs are inside the scope of the <B></B> pair and therefor correctly opened and closed. I tested on a local copy, and it looked good. I didn't check all the pages, but this was the problem on the first two, so I assume it's the problem on the rest as well.

I'll be happy to go look at it for you and see if I can spot the problem. What is your correct e-mail address so I can e-mail you what I found? Patti
