My 1st question is: Where can I find RFPs that have been issued by companies for iContact email marketing? Looking forward for any answer. 2nd question I got is.. I am an occasional html writer, so please pardon my (hopefully!) basic questions. The iContact site I am working on is sophiaproject.org..

I have a few questions:.

1. I have used the div tag to create two columns, as in the Events page. I put a graphic in the left column but any text I put in that column does not display. What have I done to suppress the text?.

2. Can I put an <hr> element into a css? So far the only way I have been able to format color in the hr element is to do so in the head of each page..

3. I created a <p> style called p.credits, but am not seeing it's formatting..

Thanks in advance!..

I'm stumped. I'm not so sure what is the right answer to your question. I'll do some Googling and get back to you if I bump into an useful answer. You should email the people at iContact as they probably can answer it..

Just another quick question for you Horus_Kol:.

With regards to your statement.

Is this also true for external stylesheets? For example....

This....

#menu_bar {.

Position: absolute;.

Top: 79px;.

Left: 51px;.

}.

To This....

#menu_bar {.

Position: "absolute";.

Top: "79px";.

Left: "51px";.

}.

I guess I was under the impression they weren't needed. Thanks for your help!.

Stuart, thanks so much for your answers to those plaguing questions.

Still a few lingering..

1. looks fine in IE and Firefox.

On the Events page? I don't see the text (it's in the left div tag, should display below the graphic). I'm using IE, too..

2. On the doctype, I use a free editor(First Page by Evrsoft)and it fills in doctype for me. I guess I'll download it again. Haven't gotten updates in a while..

"5..

Last one....

Are you sure you want to be using a Definition List?.

You open a <dd> tag - but don't close it (this is invalid)..

I would argue that it would be better to use an unordered list - and use CSS to replace the default bullet point with your image.".

No, I didn't want to use a definition list, but couldn't figure out how to put in a custom bullet in an unordered list, or how to use css to put in the custom bullet. Can you point me in the right direction here?.

Thanks again, I'm so grateful for the help...

The text is there. it has just become invisible coz'.

You have set the same color for background of leftcontent.

As well as the text ...

Comment #4

Well wasn't that clever of me to make the text the same color as the background...cryptography anyone? Thanks goldkiddo for seeing that..

RysChwith, blooberry is just what I've been looking for, an html and css source in one place. Thank you! It told me how to use a custom image for a bullet, but also said to use a list-style-type in case the image cannot be loaded. but when I put the list-style-type in, then the graphic did not load. Here is the code I used - I commented out the list-style-type on the live site..

Ul { list-style-image: url("graphics/home11.gif").

List-style-type: disc.

}.

Hey you guys, thanks for jumping in and helping on all this. I really appreciate it...

Comment #5

Not sure, but is there a semi-colon missing? After the url definition....

Ul {.

List-style-image: url("graphics/home11.gif").

;.

List-style-type: disc.

}.

Sorry, still learning all this...but thought I'd try and help..

I believe you are correct. I have to learn to look a little closer at these things. Sometimes I think I'm a little ADD...

Comment #7

Heh no worries.

About the only thing I'm able to check for is syntax simply because I don't know enough else to help usually.

I miss so many commas, colons, tags, etc., that that's where I always start. I should try and figure out the validators on the W3c site...perhaps those are good to use now & again just to help catch missings tags or syntax..

~Currie.

P.S. - I missed this earlier....

If you mean a source of information for those two...check out.

Http://www.w3schools.com.

As well. They have tons of great info & tips & examples on all this stuff. Been invaluable for me while I attempt to learn..

Just check out the "Learn HTML" & "Learn CSS" links at the upper left...

Comment #8

Also remove the quotes from around the image name..

Instead of.

Comment #9

Also, not sure if this applies, but I also need a backslash in front of my image names to get them to display from my host server....

List-style-image: url(.

/.

Graphics/home11.gif);.

Comment #10

That depends on where the files are on the server. Putting a slash before it like that takes it back to the root, then to the graphics subfolder, then to the file. Using it without the slash would take it to the graphics subfolder of wherever the current document is, then to the file..
