also when you click on a link it says the link twice
http://advicethread.com/candycoatedcodes/w...atedcodes/codes

and in the code its only in there once... :[

some one please please help me!
Alvin
The reason why the background is white is because on the code below you have it set to white (#FFFFFF).
See:
CODE
<BODY BGCOLOR=#FFFFFF LEFTMARGIN=0 TOPMARGIN=0 MARGINWIDTH=0 MARGINHEIGHT=0>
You need to edit the #FFFFFF and change it to #000000. So the code would look like this:
CODE
<BODY BGCOLOR=#000000 LEFTMARGIN=0 TOPMARGIN=0 MARGINWIDTH=0 MARGINHEIGHT=0>

okay, i got it

now what about the double address?
Alvin
Try editing each link and making each one say this:
CODE
http://advicethread.com/candycoatedcodes/PUTLINKNAMEHERE


Where I have put link name here put the link name to each link that directs to each page.

See it should work. Check the source of this: http://www.createblog.com/tools/uploads/maestro/test.html
kariiissa
its still double linking even after that :(
freeflow
In your code you put
www.linkhere.com

Instead its supposed to be http://www.linkhere.com
kariiissa
:) thak you, that worked.
i have another question
i have made all of the pages (codes,layouts,pixles...)
in photoshop and they are saved as jpegs
how do i put them into the ftp client
and when the users click on the link how to go to them
freeflow
You open your FTP. Upload them into a folder. Then it will be :
http://yoursite.com/foldername/image.jpg

To open them in your browser.
kariiissa
ahh well i did that just uploaded the images and nothing happend
the link for the new page it needs to be directed to

does that page ^ need any coding?
freeflow
Um yea. You just upload the images. You have to create a .hmtl page with teh images to turn them into actual pages.
kariiissa
its not working cry.gif

what toya means is that to display your uploaded images, you will need to make an html file for them, such as images.html.

In your images.html file, which you will need to upload to your site through FTP, you will list the images... ex:
CODE
<img src="http://www.sitename.com/folder/image1.jpg">
<img src="http://www.sitename.com/folder/image2.jpg">
kariiissa
GAH
i have tried everything
and its just not working
:(:(:(

sorry if this is getting annoying but
please helpp meee
Mulder
can you describe what you tried...? What FTP client are you using? I would recommend you download SmartFTP. its beginner-friendly, plus a lot of people could help you with it.
Ragefast
umm i think CoreFTP is easy and fast, but i had someone show me how to use it, and i believe he is talking about, trying to get an image, and then a person beeing able to click the image and taking them to a different page erm....

like umm... lol

CODE
<a href="URL"><img src="ImageURLhere"></a>


i believe that is what you are talking about ? but im not really sure.
kariiissa
i am using smartFTP and what im trying to do is
on my main page http://advicethread.com/candycoatedcodes/
there is those links on the side i want them to go to the pages
that they say

i will try what Ragefast said

edit:
okay i just went into the coding and it was already set up that way

tripvertigo
you actually have to MAKE an image called codess.gif and upload it to the folder, "codes"
kariiissa
ahh thank you EVERYONE for all your help. the links now all have pages.
just a few more questions :/

when you click the links in safari it goes to the index stuff, why?
also when you open them up in internet explorer the images shrink and are not full size.


last thing... i hope.
i know how to put a div in, and i did on the main page and it only showed up in safari :/ and the font is black

so what im asking is what is the code for a div with diffrent colored font for internet explorer.

ahh thank you so much im sure this is getting annnoying,
tripvertigo
it shrinks in IE because you're just loading an image, not an html page. IE automatically thumbs images that are too big, but if you hover over the bottom right, there's a button to enlarge it.

if you want to just not have it shrink, you need to make an html page with your image coded into it.

dont know why it's doing that in safari, but if you do what i told you, then it should be fine.


to make a div have different font color, you need to add it in the style like this:

<div style="color: #000000;">your content here</div>

replace 000000 with the hex value of the color of your choice.


you should read some tutorials.
kariiissa
isnt the image already coded into the code?

tripvertigo
no. what you have is a link to an image. you need a link to another html page that has the image coded into it.

also, your code is wrong. it's not
CODE
<a href="<img src="http://advicethread.com/candycoatedcodes/codes/codess.jpg">



it's just
CODE
<a href="http://advicethread.com/candycoatedcodes/codes/codess.jpg">



either way, instead of the .jpg, you need to link it to an html page.

CODE
<a href="http://advicethread.com/candycoatedcodes/codes/codess.html">


then make a page called codess.html and put this inside:
CODE
<img src="http://advicethread.com/candycoatedcodes/codes/codess.jpg">
kariiissa
okay... i think i may have gotten it can someone click the codes link and see if that is correct? http://advicethread.com/candycoatedcodes/
