is it as simple as changes the % to a number... i need more help lol on msn so dont think by answering ur loosing ad sapce,
w3schools has a nice tutorial http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_tables.asp and here you can directly practice by modifying the values for td width, etc, then click and see: http://www.w3schools.com/html/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml_tables while a width value without dimensions defaults to px it is a much better practice to always mention the dimensions - i.e. % or px ... after the value hence for example: <td width="200px" height="600px">200pxx600px</td> include in your sizes always border, cellpadding and cellspacing of course you can define such also in your CSS for repeated advertisment tables across the site! If I am right, then your width of width="136%" makes the table 136% the size of your browser window no good choice. except you want ppl to scroll to see full page
ok i see what that is now... .. so if i just create is all in design to begin with could i then go and change the cells to numbers of pixels.. untill i get it right,. would that be an ok way to go about it?.... also i see you have put px after does that make a difference? cheers for the help. + rep for that
hans if you PM me your email and help me through there u can have the ad.. i will create in photoshop or you can but try to keep it with the site theme... http://www.xninelivesx.com/ninelives.. this will be home page on completion. what site do u want an add for?
1. despite the fact that we MAY have default values ( px OR % ) I prefer to define when ever definition possible to assure ALL browsers incl mobile browsers and non-w3c compliant browsers KNOW what to display 2. you offer for an add is flattering but that does NOT help YOU i see you have a young site with near zero traffic as soon as traffic starts you may need ads for your revenue to invest into YOUR future. if then - much later - you have TOO much revenue - just spend now and then an amount for charity in your neighborhood or help another newbie online in a forum that helps you more. I am an old man with MANY decades of most active life and have plenty of traffic and excellent adsense results - hence nothing to worry about ads for me. promote your site / add adsense in top placements or other ads whatever matches your life and if you have no paying ads to place at all, ... then think about advertising your own best products - like I have my large horizontal banner on my (ONLY ) site's homepage about wallpapers ....
thanks very much and that is interesting do u have a link about adsense.. because i hear its bad off a freind.. he could be wrong
adsense works excellently if you have the traffic!! I use adsense alone, no other advertisers so far - have ONE single site - and do excellent ( last year some 46+k us$ ) adsense success depends all from your adsense optimization !! i.e. placements and color schemes as well as formats of course you always have to make sure your site's content is within adsense TOS
another problem i have just encountered... my site iis too wide on some computers.. ppl have to scroll sideways.. any sugestions?
1. if you have to scroll on some broswsers make sure you have NO table with a value greater than 100% !!! if you define width of your site or banners keep in mind that ab out 90% of all browsers ( my own last precise stat from visitors from 210+ countries ) have a monitor resolution of 1024x768 OR greater hence some 10% ( this number is DEcreasing steadily ) have an old fashioned monitor resolution of 800x600 or so hence if you define anything in pixel - like banner etc keep it within the 768x1024 monitor - that suits MOST ppl without having to scroll ur site looks perfect on my monitor - but i have widescreen 1050x1690 px ... but the broswer much smaller than the screen if you have different table unites side by side or div side by side always keep in mind any possible default margins or spaces/border-values when adding up all horizontal width values to match your 1024 px max width ( including margins for page, etc 2. all my sig links are my site 3. now you also may have a look at some HTML errors see http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http://www.xninelivesx.com/ start from TOP to bottom make corrections in template where needed until all fully validated valid code makes life easier for you and all bots or mobile surfers
ok hans.. its saying theres problems with my other site which work fine.. does this matter?.. also if i keep everything in one table and make that 100% that will fix it? and the page im working on now is http://www.xninelivesx.com/ninelives/omg.html like i have said i will make it homepage on completion. cheers hans
at 2: 23 right after yovishnurulez posted i got negetive feedback "AD space for html help" "Feb 8th 2008 2:23 pm" "BUMPBUBMBUP" saying that... why the hell i never even talked on this topic then have i done something wrong? how do i fix that?
1. some selfstudy of HTML ( w3schools ) will help 2. uv = unique visitors 3. start simple focus on creaton of content make fancy later when more experience/knowledge
