    Hi Lily,

    You have 44 HTML validation errors on your Web page. If you can wait until I get home, I'll be more than happy to clean this up for you so it works on IE 5/5.5/6/7, Firefox, Opera, Safari and other modern standards-compliant browsers.

    I do have one question to ask you first though. Do you want the DOCTYPE declaration to be HTML, or XHTML?

    Ok. Since you're using an HTML DOCTYPE, I'll just stick to that, but make sure it's complete and complies with the various "techie stuff" rules before diving into fixing the site.

    not really sure what you mean by "complies with the various "techie stuff" rules"..
    i made it with frontpage, i cannot write a code or anything. just using ready scripts, copy-paste..
    it's complete and working both in ie and firefox. just not looking good with firefox..

    Ah, FrontPage. A program so bad that Microsoft stopped making it.

    HTML at its very core is a structural document markup language, with its own rules that the browsers have to follow. Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on the person's point of view) browsers are very lax with their enforcement of the rules, and will bend over backwards to "help fix" a page that has coding problems.

    But you don't need to worry about all that - I'll take care of it for you.

    If you're going to use an editor, I suggest you download and use NVU instead of FrontPage (since FrontPage adds its own code to the mix, which will literally destroy anything I do).
