ok.. I know a lot of you will laugh at this because it is sooo terrible... but basically I know diddly about the way things are supposed to be alligned. I have a odd mizture of HTML and CSS... and it is horrifying... I am sure some of you will start cringing when you see this code but this is the sorce code from my site... I get all the body tags and stuff mixed up. I really need someone jsut to talk me through it.

well, in the beginning there is a problem with an iframe coding. i'm not quite sure what you're trying to do but.. just tell me if this isn't what you were going for :D [the red part is what i added]

<iframe FRAMEBORDER="0" BORDER=0 width=480 height=340
style="position: absolute; left: 230px; top: 375px"> <img src="http://www.geocities.com/sophie_sherman//Content.htm"
name="webbie"></iframe>

then, in your second "TEXTAREA, input" CSS code, you have
background-attachment: ;

that's unnecessary if you didn't specify anything for that. and then, in the same CSS part, for your hover links code, you have:

A:hover {font-family: Tw Cen MT ; font-size: 11t; color: white; text-decoration: dotted white; border:3px dotted white}hp table{text-align:left}

the red parts are what confuse me. i'm not quite sure what you're trying to do there :confused: but everything else looks fine [as far as i can see] :)

I didn't know where you wanted the link me thing so i just put it under the navigation thing.

Try this:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">

<html>
<head>

<title>Sophie's Web</title>

<style type="text/css">
TEXTAREA,input{border:3px dotted blue;}

TEXTAREA, input {background-color:transparent;}

body {cursor:crosshair;
scrollbar-face-color: black;
scrollbar-shadow-color: white;
scrollbar-highlight-color: black;
scrollbar-3dlight-color: white;
scrollbar-darkshadow-color: black;
scrollbar-track-color: black;
scrollbar-arrow-color:white;
background-image: url(http://www.geocities.com/sophie_sherman/black_bg.jpg); background-position:left;}

A {font-family: Tw Cen MT; font-size: 10pt;
color: white;
text-decoration:none;}
A:link { text-decoration: none; }
A:active { text-decoration: none; }
A:visited { text-decoration: none; }
A:hover {font-family: Tw Cen MT ;
font-size: 11pt;
color: white;
text-decoration: dotted white;
border:3px dotted white;}

table{text-align:left;}

</style>

Ok... it works really well... but... in the DIV layer the left... the CSS is not working in it and it is jsut plain black text.

In your body part of your css, you need to specify font-family , font-size, color and then it will show up.

Also i noticed on yoru link, your font family, it just comes up as times on mine, i would suggest putting something liek arial, tahoma after the one you want so it will show up as anything but times ;)

yes! it works... Thank you so much Marie ;) but now my IFRAME isn't working... ack... and I have one other question... can almost all types of internet see Iframes... or is it only IE

this is my site with the new CSS you gave me

http://www.geocities.com/sophie_sherman/test.htm

I haven't added the new font yet :P
