How is it meant to normally come out? Could you provide a screenshot?
Also, you should include a Doctype, not providing one can cause errors in some browser if they assume it's one doctype/version and it's actually another.“Opinion is the medium between knowledge and ignorance.”

Yes. I would even say that he must use a Doctype, otherwise the browsers will render in quirks mode, which is never standardized. Moreover, he must use the proper Doctype, according to the used dialect (HTML 4.01 or XHTML or HTML5). His case, probably XHTML.Originally posted by Asher01 View PostLast edited by Kor; Sep 8, 2011, 10:20 AM.Comment

Its just HTML and CSS is this considered XHTML?.pLeAd InSaNiTy.Comment

It looks like you miss the basis of the basis of the web developing:Originally posted by syco__ View Post
XHTML is a structured and strict dialect of HTML
Here's the Doctypes you may use, according to the dialects:
Now, the main difference between HTML and XHTML is that in XHTML the empty tags (like INPUT, BR, IMG...) are closed like: <input />, <br />, <img />... which is not the case in HTML. There are also other requirements, less important, especially in strict mode coding.Last edited by Kor; Sep 8, 2011, 10:40 AM.Comment

i added the DOCTYPE and it still didnt seem to make any difference.
What do you suggest i should do?Code:<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

Your doctype is not complete.
Code:<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> [COLOR="Orange"]<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> [/COLOR]
You also have just a few errors in your code which should be fixed. Some of which stems from the incomplete doctype I'm thinking.Last edited by teedoff; Sep 8, 2011, 11:29 AM.TeedComment

I noticed in your CSS that you have:
font-family: Georgia; serif;
You should actually have that set as:

OK, I checked your HTML with http://validator.w3.org/ and saw the majority of your errors are fairly simple and could just be due to the need to research what version doctype to use and what the rules of that doctype are.
I suggest that you are closer to XHTML than HTML4, which in my opinion is is really good as it's a cleaner format.
First thing after getting a proper document type deceleration that I noticed was this:
You'd probably get frustrated with the validator when it says that you haven't finished theCode:<head> <link href="css/style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> </head>
<head>
The thing about<head>is that to be considered complete you need to include a<title>.. something like this:
Code:<head> <link href="css/style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> <title>Title Of Your Page</title> </head>
Secondly I noticed saw this:
<div class="mid"><img src="logo2.gif" alt="Team Frog Logo" ></div>
For XHTML tags like img should be closed like this:
<div class="mid"><img src="logo2.gif" alt="Team Frog Logo" /></div>
Also you have used<hr>instead of<hr />
Both with the <img /> and <hr /> tags, you need that formatting in XHTML but not HTM4... in HTML4 it is simply just <hr> or <img>.
I assumed that as most of your tags are closed cleanly, for example your<br />tags, that you are trying for closer to XHTML (Transitional?)
Finally, you made a typo right at the end... you typed©instead of©
Although, I must congratulate you for knowing to use the proper amp entities... I see a lot of professional pages that don't.
I hope that was helpful... good luck with your webcoding!

Just to add to this: New documents should always be created according to strict HTML standards, not transitional.Comment
