    Yes, bgcolor is not valid for XHTML, you can use the style:
    <body style="background:#fff;" onload=...

    For RemyXO:
    How if you copy all the header codes to the index page and replace the body tag with the preload. And in you index page set not to load the header.php?

    Or maybe you can make another header for your index page. (eq: header2.php)

    For Blueparukia,

    I don't agree with you, I love dreamweaver, even my first editor is Notepad++,

    If you use dreamweaver it's easy to fix this problems, you can convert it to xhtml from the file menu.

    @chopsticks: I hear of fireworks, but I never asked about it or even looked at what it does. I will be sure to check it out sometime soon.

    @Masim man: There are other pages that requires the preload, so I don't think i'll make anymore headers, but instead ill take your first advice. Thank you. Also, I didn't know i was able to change it to xhtml. I see the option now, but what exactly does that do? Does it fix the codes automatically?


    Also, whats the different from HTML and XHTML?

    HTML is like this:
    
<br>
    Code (markup):
    xHTML is like this:
    
<br/>
    Code (markup):
    There are other differences, but in basicness, xHTML is much more strict, and doesn't give you as many exceptions with bad coding as HTML does.

    Oh fine.

    Line 62:
    Replace:
    With
    As for line 319, your code is too crap to tell, but it looks like multiple directly nested tds, where one hasn't been closed.

    But forget validating it, your code will still be terrible, even if is valid. I'd recommend learning to code or paying someone else to do it, because you page is taking me forever to load with all the icky images.

    I'm actually learning a lot from these forums, but thanks for the advice. I'm just wondering, are you still using dial up? The page loads for me within 3 seconds.

    No one else seems to have that problem, so I find it kind of odd. Maybe you was lagging that night.

    I didn't have a problem with the total loading time, but I sure got to sit there and watch each individual image load seperately. Watching a page load in chunks isn't always avoidable, but well-written code and proper use of images in the background can really reduce that jiggiddy jig. Total loading time for me, on high-speed, was about 5-8 seconds.

    I agree with you to some degree. It's much easier to use notepad as you have full control over your code but I've found some features of Dreamweaver useful such as when renaming files, Dreamweaver amends the links automatically.

    I may be opening a can of worms here but I quite like using Dreamweaver. I like the fact you can use the design view to easily preview the output. I do have to keep an eye on the code however. Does anyone use anything besides a text editor?

    This is your greatest enemy as a dreambeaver user. The design view is u-s-e-l-e-s-s.

    It's basically got it's own rendering engine, like every browser has, to turn your code into something you can see. Problem is, it's not the same redering engine that any ACTUAL browser uses. So you are basically looking at your site in a "browser" that doesn't exist. Every real browser has a different rendering engine, so what's much much better is to have all your browsers open, write your code, and keep checking in all the real browsers (refresh, refresh, refresh) every time you make a change rather than design view.

    For the lines around stuff and whatnot, you use CSS tricks like giving your floats ugly primary colours as backgrounds to see where they are and what's going on... remove these when you're done.

    Actually, it uses Opera's rendering engine. It just seems to have f**ked it up majorly.

    CS4 will use webkit.

    Yeah, I heard, but if it doesn't actually render like Opera it's still basically useless. : )

    Save + Refresh on the browser window and your set.

    Forget about the design view!

    Thats so true and useful. It even helps when you are having problems with the padding or margins forcing items of say 40% and 60% to not appear on the same line even though they equal 100%.

    Also useful when checking that each browser renders the site the same.

    I still love Dreamweaver,

    I know Dreamweaver has bad things, but I only use the tools that really help me. And always work in code view.

    RemyXO, who has started this thread, sent PM to me that he had fixed more than 200 errors by converting it to xhtml (only two cliks).
    So, I think it's not bad idea using Dreamweaver to save our time. But if you want to learn HTML avoid it.

    That's exactly the trick I use while work with HTML and CSS, very useful trick.

    Two clicks.

    The code will be valid, but I can gaurantee it'd be far from good on this particular site. Validity doesn't matter if you ain't gonna use good code IMO, and since its tables it really doesn't matter.

    Also, how do you learn ANYTHING from 2 clicks?
