I am trying to read a css template I downloaded using php. When i use the include command everything works fine but when I break up the css template into three portions head, body, and navigation, and store them in files named head.php, body.php, and navigation.php and then use three include statements to get the template I get this weird character script in my text. Anyone know why weird looking characters are incorporated into the template???????????
CSS elements have to be included within the head tag only ! From what i understand from your post , you seem to have placed CSS elements in body.php and navigation.php as well . Or am i wrong ? kindly provide more details
This is what I did I took the basic html template and broke it up into three parts. I placed one part in head.php The second part in body.php and the last part in nav.php Then I created a file get.php and put three include statements in it to retrieve the information form the three php files. If i only break up the html file into two files, it works well. But if I break it up into three files I begin to see inverted question marks on the left side of the screen. If you need more information plz let me know.
I want to know what exactly you did there , because CSS can only be placed within the <head></head> tags of your html !
He probably just wants to split an XHTML template, which is "CSS-only" based, i.e. no HTML tables... The problem you seem to be facing has something to do with the encoding type of the files. Please show me the files you created (header, body, navigation), and tell me when exactly the problem occurs and when not.
Are you able to post some code so that we can either see what is going on, or be able to reproduce the error and debug it ? Brew
Yes here it is This is the code I placed in the head <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <!-- Design by Free CSS Templates http://www.freecsstemplates.org Released for free under a Creative Commons Attribution 2.5 License Title : StandardIssue Version : 1.0 Released : 20070723 Description: A two-column, fixed-width and lightweight template ideal for 1024x768 resolutions.

Ok I don't know what was wrong but when I use the following code to include the files it works <?include "head.php";?> <?include "body.php";?> <?include "nav.php";?> It works fine but when I use <? include "head.php"; include "body.php"; include "nav.php"; ?> It gives me those weird looking symbols. Guess I will stick with the first code but if any one figures out why the last code does not work plz let me know. Thanks
