If you already have Javascript and/or CSS code, is it possible to still have metatags? When I attempted to add them, my navigation disappeared, and I got a script error. Is this is possible, where would I put them considering that I can't between the </title> and the </head>?

can you post a link to the page in question and have the metas in exactly where you had them during the problem.

you definitly can have css code, javascript and metas all in your head area nicely and all work correctly. something else must be creating a problem.

Well, I'm building it on FrontPage, so I can't really post a link. I can post the code here if you want, but it will be rather long.

you would open a geocities account and upload it there.

I tried to shorten it a little, so I'm going to go ahead and post it here. If it is too long though, you can delete it and I'll take your suggestion.

<head>
<title>MY TITLE IS HERE</title>
<style type="text/css">
body{
scrollbar-face-color : #000000;
scrollbar-highlight-color : #000000;
scrollbar-3dlight-color : #000000;
scrollbar-shadow-color : #FFFFFF;
scrollbar-darkshadow-color : #FFFFFF;
scrollbar-track-color : #000000;
scrollbar-arrow-color : #FFFFFF;}
</style>
<script language="JavaScript" src="navcond.js"></script>
<script language="JavaScript">

var myNavBar1 = new NavBar(0);
var dhtmlMenu;

Could you please put the meta tags in where you had them?

Or if that is what you had, the code is

<META NAME="keywords" content="YOUR STUFF">

<META NAME="description" content="YOUR STUFF">

this has to be between </title> and </head>...you said you can't put them there in your first post...why? You can have additional things too.

Well, I did, have them in there I mean. It made the navigation menu disappear and created a script error. I put them after the navigation code and before </head>. They aren't there in the code that I posted, because I obviously had them in the wrong place considering the disappearance of the menu, so I took them out so someone could tell me where the appropriate place to put the metatags would be.

please post the code WITH the metas in there.
since that is the cause of your problem, that is what we must see in order to fix it up.
thanks.

Okay, I finally figured it out after messing with it for a while. Thanks for the help anyway though.
