I see 97 errors and 5 warnings...could be you are using some xhtml tags, but are using the html 4.01 doctype.

In this line:

<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8" />

Try removing the slash at the end:

<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8" >

I think it is causing a cascading effect that is throwing more errors. There might be others...but I think fixing that will fix a lot of the errors.

Another thing you might look into is cascading style sheets (css). You are using font tags and once you get comfortable with css, you will not go back! One of the errors is a missing close tag for the font element, but - again - that could be due to that one slash up above...amazing what just one mistake can cause throughout the whole page! Fix that one thing and I will gladly take another look.

Karen Landy,

Another thing you need to do is use a complete doctype. You have:

but the full complete doctype is:


Having the full doctype will go a long way toward making things work in all browsers.

CoffeCup is a great tool,Unfortunatelly only for English speakers.
All its flash based applications does not handle any kind of foreign chars.

I built this site last night using the html editor. Did the flash on the front this morning. Yes, I used a template, that is what they are there for, right?

Anyway, I did this one to replace the old site which was wordpress based (needed something up quick for them and did the wp one when I was in the middle of a move). The only thing that is not coffee cup is the gallery albums, but I will be switching them over in the next few days. Also, yes the flash is basic, but I am waiting to get more pics before I do more with it.

I've just recently finished (well for the most part other than a few more details on events to be added soon) a site for our local Literacy Council. You can see this by clicking the link in my signature. Was quite fun doing this with CC software instead of using the standby Joomla Content Management System (CMS) that I've been using for the past couple years. Getting back into HTML and CSS and doing things myself made me realize just how code lazy you get when you let another system do it all for you like CMS does. Not to mention CMS's aren't exactly the most versatile for adding outside things to it that aren't coded specifically for that system.

I'm glad I came back to CC software and started doing things myself again, it's much more interesting and fun, and CC software really is great, and their customer service has yet to be beat by any other company I've ever dealt with... for any product even outside of software lol.

P.S. I have to admit that my menu was not created with CC software as I hadn't purchased the software for menus as of yet, and the Menu builder with CC is just a little bit outdated (not to mention that I have no idea how to do flash stuff yet lol) so I stayed with another program I have used for quite some time. I'll play with CC's menu stuff soon though since I just bought the whole package of software, I'm having a blast with it all

Here's a site we created with Coffee Cup: www.aaasigns.co.uk . We've also used Flash Firestarter to create http://www.aaasigns.co.uk/services/6/in … nage.html.

Here's the second link again:(it got chopped)

At least our 404 page works....

Just working on a new website, not quite finished, but am having fun at it. http://www.bookplate.biz. Used VSD for all of it. Think I might use an avatar to read portions of books, (if that isn't against copyright rules). Love Coffeecup. Sarah

The website in my footer (currently my only website ever built!) was entirely coffeecup. I started with the trial of VSD, tweaked in the trial of HTML Editor, then moved to the paid Dev pack.

I'm now rehashing the site behind the scenes to use PHP, again using HTML editor, most of which is accomplished (except that I have trouble positioning my text with PHP and it's driving me crazy! The rest of the site is done and in a test location which is great!)

@Sarah and Mark Excell:

I have to agree with Cliff on the aspect of the graphics being too huge for your thumbnails. There is a free program that can create thumbnails in whatever size you want them and even can give them a little style should you want it, it's called EZThumbnails and it's free for personal or business use. You can get it here:
http://www.fookes.com/ezthumbs/
I've used it for quite some time when I need a ton of thumbnails made it does the trick perfectly. It's light weight so you don't have to load up that super heavy duty graphics program to do it which I hate having to load them things unless I'm going to do a lot of different graphics work to justify the heavy usage of my computer for one program lol.

@Sarah:
Since Cliff already stated for Mark the problems, I'll basically say the same thing to you. Many of your graphics are very large and therefore make your site load quite slowly for the graphics end, so I would also suggest you resize the thumbnail images for them so they don't load the full size graphic for those small areas.

Keep in mind, as Cliff said, when you use the full size graphic as a thumbnail, that full size graphic has to load in the page even though it looks small, it's really the full graphic loading for every graphic you use on your pages for anything at all. Therefore, if you're going to use small graphics for thumbnail size images, resize them to be just that so it loads that nice small graphic and your site will load a whole lot faster than it does now. Looks great otherwise though, nicely done
