Well, the validator was a huge help. Two problems I ran into: 1- It did not like the way I imported my style sheet. I thought my tag <style type="text/css" media="all" @import="style_120704.css";</style> was correct, but the validator choked on both the @ and the ;
2-I tried just pasting in my link into the 'address' field at http://validator.w3.org/ and clicking on the 'check' button, but the result was incomprehensible. I'll fix the image and 'pindent' problems next, Chris Akins, it's almost midnight and I'm tired! - Keith Purtell Message: 21 Date: Mon, 16 Aug 2010 08:18:20 +0100 From: "Duncan Hill" <dun...@gmail.com> Subject: Re: [css-d] Controlling image placement with CSS To: "css discuss" <css-d@lists.css-discuss.org>, "Keith Purtell" <keithpurt...@keithpurtell.com> Message-ID: <op.vhirwuabrio...@asus-01.lan> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8; format=flowed; delsp=yes On Mon, 16 Aug 2010 04:35:09 +0100, Keith Purtell <keithpurt...@keithpurtell.com> wrote: > > I want to diagnose problems on this page.
