Re: Nav Bar in Safari and text box
briefly looking at the source code
you have a random img src within the <head> portion which shouldn’t be there
get rid of that <style type=“text/css”> completely as you dont need it and its not even closed anyway

Adding this to your css should make the background red in your textarea:
textarea {
background: #FF0000;
}

Re: Nav Bar in Safari and text box
hey eta picking up on that loose style thing in the head fixed the problem with the safari viewing
I havent yet been able to get a box around the text and to change its color yet,
thanks again

Re: Nav Bar in Safari and text box
did you want a red background behind all of your content text (ie. an ongoing self-organised d.i.y. weekly workshop etc etc)? or are you trying to make a separate red box with text in it somewhere else?
if its all the content text you want, you can just add something like
#content {
background:#FF0000;
}

Re: Nav Bar in Safari and text box
There is some of invalid code.
Some fixes:
- Remove
<IMG SRC = "/img/left.gif" ALIGN = "LEFT">from inside<head>-tags. - Change
<html>to<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">. - And if you want use that image anyway, it should be
<img src= "/img/left.gif" />used inside body.
Cheers!

Re: Nav Bar in Safari and text box
wow! what an incredibly supportive support forum, i got rid of that left image altogether and i changed the <html> (although im interested to find out what that does?) the site has come along a fair way today and i’ve had an incredibly steep learning curve
eta: i missed your post but it would have been incredibly helpful, instead though i ended up putting the nav bar in the header and then changing the background of the body which would have had the same effect in the end anyway i think
so yes, the page is almost finished all except the content and i’m sure as i put more stuff in i will come into some more troubles but text pattern seems to make a lot of sense to me in the end
i would really appreciate any other feedback though in regards to how it all works for anyone else
i only have one issue at the moment but its not an essential floor, but what i dont understand is, that when you click a link in the nav bar the whole page seems to reload, is there anyway to change just the content?
is this something to do with my content structure?
thanks so much again, i will definitely try to stick around so hopefully one day i can help out on the other end
warm regards,
daniel
