Here's my final entry, no more tweaking. (Any more optimization would delve into my shoddy, pathetic PHP skills. You don't wanna go there.) It should work at any resolution. 640x480 users will need to scroll, but if you run at that res you're used to it.

Put this in a file called stylesheet.css and put it in the same directory as your pages. (The root directory in this case.)
Code: Select all
#content {background-color:FFF; height:454; width:477; align:center;  text-align:left; border-style:solid; padding:10px; }
body {background-image:url('http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y205/mustangman77/bggreen.png');}
A:link {color:000;}
A:visited {color:000;}
img {border:0;}
Here's your page template:
Code: Select all
<html><head>
<title>Wii Reviews! Wii Review The Full Game</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="stylesheet.css"/>

Welcome to Wii Reviews! We are a review site for Nintendo Wii games. On thing that makes us different is that we complete the game BEFORE we review it. That way, if the game gets really good after the first couple of levels, we will know this and we will review the game more accurately.

You don't even need to upload these to the server; just put both files into a folder on your desktop and open the HTML page. (If you're using Notepad, make sure you call the style sheet stylesheet.css, not stylesheet.css.txt. Windows will do that if you have file extensions hidden. And if you're going to use Notepad to edit pages, don't. Get Notepad Plus http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net . It does syntax highlighting, which makes the tags really stand out so it's easier to edit the pages.

ok! thanks so much bicostp. this will all work in freewebs right? just make a file for the CSS thing, upload it to the freewebs account, and use the format for the rest? thanks so much

Just an fyi, Freewebs is very crappy. Try 100mb and get a .co.nr cloak over it (Like wiireview.co.nr)

Whoops! Replace this:

Code: Select all

height:454;

with this:

Code: Select all

min-height:454;

in stylesheet.css. That size will be a minimum, and when it fills up it will stretch.

HELP! lol. my friend was checking out the site, and this is what he got

hes using IE7, 1600 x 1200

I guess 1280x1024 isn't enough space to have both side by side but 1600x1200 is. Add a line break after the logo in the template and it should work fine.

Sorry, kinda tired today.

can you use CSS to display the text of a file? like if i have a review written in a txt file and uploaded onto the server like i did for the CSS file, can i have CSS bring in the text?

Post by **gannon** » Sun Jul 15, 2007 6:28 pm

Only way to do that without a server side language would be javascript or the use of a frame/iframe AFAIK

ok. is there a way i can make it so when someone view my source code, it gives them some dumb message, or doesn't let them? not a right click stopper either. i want a full on, no source code viewer
