CSS: Lesson2: Topic G

Hi Guys

Please assist with the below

I have done activity 2-8 and I'm experiencing that only one name is changed the color. Please let me know where am I going wrong.

</tr>
<tr><td><span style="color: #066;">Tyler Kessel, Ph.D.<br>Physics</td>
<td>Ed Brodie, Ph.D.<br>Cosmology</td>
<td>Nathan Perkins, Ph.D.<span><br>Imaging</td>
<td>Rachel Vincent, M.D.</span><br>Medicine</td>
</tr>

The task says close the <span> element directly after Rachel Vincent, M.D.

There's no forward slash on the <span> above but I had added the forward slash but even without the forward slash on the <span> the changes doesn't affect all the names but Tyler's name only.

Thanks
M

There is an extra span after Nathan..
Browsers are getting more strict these days about what is allowed. Move it outside the table tags You should actually be using div in this case, but I just want to demonstrate how placement affects results)

Language: HTML
<span style="color: red;">
<table>
</tr>
<tr><td>Tyler Kessel, Ph.D.<br>Physics</td>
<td>Ed Brodie, Ph.D.<br>Cosmology</td>
<td>Nathan Perkins, Ph.D.<br>Imaging</td>
<td>Rachel Vincent, M.D.<br>Medicine</td>
</tr>
</td></table></span>

If you want it just for a name, then add before and close after each name. Close your <span> tags as soon as you can after opening them.

Hi there,

I would also like assistance.

I am using php Designer as my source code compiler.
I have uploaded the necessary files onto the free web host but I find that every time I try update a page it turns out differently than with my compiler.
Why is this?

What you see on the web is what it is like. And that is what you must design for. You should not try or make use of a WYSIWIG tool to create pages for you.

Hi there,

Ok I chose NetBeans IDE 7.2 instead.

I want to use some "cool" stuff on my site.
Are 3rd party CSS libraries permitted?

Is the Visual Basics also considered as a WYSIWIG tool?

I understand that the site must be updated weekly, if it is not, are we penalized?

You can use 3rd party CSS libraries.
VB is a WYSIWIG tool
Not updated weekly - if you have a site on a free web server, then they delete the site if is not accessed on a regular basis. So visit it at least once every two weeks to prevent this.At least until middle June.

Thanks gouwem for your question. Mine did precisely the same.

The answer works a charm!! Thanks for the help

Hey Mac,

Thanks.

VB Out the window!
FireFox is the only browser that shows my form styles as incorrect, why is this?

And how many pages should our "fully functional" websites consist of?
I think I chose a topic that requires LOTS of pages.

The tut letter says at least 8, and asks us to include an additional page containing all our forum posts... Mac also mentioned in another thread that we're allowed to add more than 8 pages if we want... You should probably read through to whole forum and read the tut letter thoroughly if you can find time to do so as it will answer a lot of unnecessary questions

Browsers.... This is why web developers are required. It is possible to cater for all browsers, but the more complex the site, the more difficult it becomes. You need to Google for solutions, as there is not one simple solution. I am not directing you away from here, but it depends on your code.
