when i run it , the table shows up with some form, but it is not enclosed by cells or boxes, just text.

anyone no what i may have done wrong? sad.gif

Here is my table within the list.

<ol>
<li>A legally pocketed ball entitles a shooter to continue at the table until he fails to
legally pocket a called ball on a shot. A player may shoot any ball, but before the shot,
must designate the called ball and called pocket. Details such as kisses, caroms,
combinations or cushions (all of which are legal) need not be indicated. Any additionally
pocketed ball(s) on a legal stroke is scored as one point for the shooter.
</li>
<li>On all shots, a player must cause the cue ball to contact an object ball and then (1)
pocket a numbered ball, or (2) cause the cue ball or any numbered ball to contact a cushion.
Failure to meet these requirements is a foul.
</li>
<li>When the 14th ball of a rack is pocketed, play stops momentarily with the 15th ball
remaining in position on the table; the 14 pocketed balls are then racked (with the space at
the foot spot vacant in the triangle). Player then continues, normally pocketing the 15th (or
“break” ball) in such a manner as to have the cue ball carom into the rack and spread the
balls to facilitate the continuance of his run. However, player is not compelled to shoot the
15th ball; he may shoot any ball he desires. See Diagram 22 if the 15th ball is pocketed on
the same stroke as the 14th ball.

</table>
</li>
<li>A player may call a safety rather than an object ball (for defensive purposes). Safety
play is legal, but must comply with all applicable rules. The player’s inning ends when a
safety is played, and pocketed balls are not scored. Any object ball pocketed on a called
safety is spotted.
</li>
<li>A player may not catch, touch or in any way interfere with a ball as it travels toward a
pocket or the rack area on a shot (to include catching a ball as it enters a pocket by having
a hand in the ball as it enters a pocket by having a hand in the pocket). Doing so is a
special “deliberate foul” and is penalized one point for the foul and an additional 15 point
penalty, for a total of 16 points. The incoming player then has choice of (1) accepting the
table in position with the cue ball in hand behind the head string, or (2) having all 15
balls re-racked and requiring the offending player to shoot under the requirements of the
opening break.
</li>
<li>If the 15th (un-pocketed) ball of a rack and/or the cue ball interferes with the triangle
being lowered straight down into position for racking, refer to the diagram, which indicates
the proper manner of relocating balls. (The gray boxes are those situations in which there is
no interference, both balls remain in position.)
</li>
<li>When a player has the cue ball in hand behind the head string (as after a scratch) and
all the object balls are behind the head string, the object ball nearest the head string may
be spotted upon request. If two or more balls are an equal distance from the head string, the
player may designate which of the equidistant balls is to be spotted.
</li>

Is there another book I need to read to set this menu thing up?, or have I missed something in my linking operations.

This is what my menu looks like on my index.html (main page) and on all other pages I want to link to.

So to farther illustrate my question is when I click on my first page in the menu "All nine are mine" it goes to the page ninemine.html and all is good, but then when I click on the next page or any other page in my menu, I get the error page not found.

<br><b>Welcome to Ikslukos Apartments</b><br><br>
Ikslukos Apartments overlook the picturesque Kalamionas Bay (see header above) in the fishing village of Kassiopi. The apartments are less than a minute's walk from the beach, and in few minutes you can be in the village centre amongst the restaurants and bars.</div></p>

Kassiopi is situated in the north eastern corner of Corfu, about 36 kms (22 miles) from Corfu town and Ioannis Kapodstrias International Airport (approx a 1 hour journey by road). Kassiopi is a traditional fishing village set around a horse shoe shaped harbour. It's striking backdrop is the Island's tallest point, Mt Pantokrator and it looks out over the crystal clear sea towards the undulating coastline of Albania.

Kassiopi's cosmopolitan nature offers something for everyone, seeing people return year after year. The village has four supermarkets, countless restaurants, tavernas and bars and many gift and beach orientated shops. There is an air conditioned internet café if you need to check your e-mails and two cashpoint machines if you need extra Euros. To view a map of these amenities, <a target="_blank" href="pages/kassiopiamenities.html">click here.</a> The Harbour, is as picturesque as idyllic scenes go, and the short walk up to the Byzantine fortress is more than worth the walk in the heat when you see the views of Albania, and the surrounding area.

But I want you to recommend a book for me to further my learning in HTML, xHTML and CSS. A book that will explain more advance topics not covered in Head First.

I've added the new sidebar properties to "starbuzz.css" so that it floats to the right in addition to moving the div id= "sidebar" under the header.

Here is what i typed in my css:

#sidebar {
background: #efe5d0 url(images/background.gif) bottom right;
font-size: 105%;
padding: 15px;
margin: 0px 10px 10px 10px;
width: 280 px;
float: right;
}

The problem is that in my browser, it doesn't float right. It stays right under the heading and above the main paragraph. I checked it with Safari and Firefox and got the same results. When i delete the second paragraph (<p>why wait...) then it floats right. I've checked my html page and everything looks fine to me. (I've attached it) Anyone know why this is happening?

Thanks!

<h1>Segway'n USA</h1>
<p>
Documenting my trip around the US on my very own Segway!
</p>

<h2>August 20, 2005</h2>
<p><img src="images/segway2.jpg" alt="Me any my Segway in New Mexico" /> </p>
<p>
Well I made it 1200 miles already, and I passed
through some interesting places on the way:
</p>

<ol>
<li>Walla Walla, WA</li>
<li>Magic City, ID</li>
<li>Bountiful, UT</li>
<li>Last Chance, CO</li>
<li>Truth or Consequences, NM</li>
<li>Why, AZ</li>
</ol>

<h2>July 14, 2005</h2>
<p>
I saw some Burma Shave style signs on the side of the
road today:
</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
Passing cars, <br />
When you can't see, <br />
May get you, <br />
A glimpse, <br />
Of eternity. <br />
</p>
</blockquote>
<p>
I definitely won't be passing any cars.
</p>

<h2>June 2, 2005</h2>
<p><img src="images/segway1.jpg" alt="The first day of the trip" /></p>
<p>
My first day of the trip! I can't believe I finally got
everything packed and ready to go. Because I'm on a Segway,
I wasn't able to bring a whole lot with me:
</p>
<ul>
<li>cellphone</li>
<li>iPod</li>
<li>digital camera</li>
<li>and a protein bar</li>
</ul>
<p>
Just the essentials. As
Lao Tzu would have said, <q>A journey of a
thousand miles begins with one Segway.</q>

First of all, nice explaination. But there are two things I don't understand.

1) Is this an official correct order? Because I googled a bit and couldn't find this explaination elsewhere. How does this come? I guess the makers of the book didn't create their own method, right?

2) There is one thing in the theory I don't understand. I'll take the same example as the book and follow the same logic, but with some changes.

STEP 1:
The reader:
CODE
h1.blueberry {
color: blue;
}


The browser:
CODE
h1 {
color: black;
}


The author:
CODE
h1 {
color: #efefef;
}

body h1 {
color: #cccccc;
}



So the only thing I changed here is switching one thing from the author/reader.

STEP 2:
We find all declarations that match. This is exactly the same as step 1 in this case.

STEP 3:
We change the order:

The author:
CODE
h1 {
color: #efefef;
}

body h1 {
color: #cccccc;
}


The reader:
CODE
h1.blueberry {
color: blue;
}


The browser:
CODE
h1 {
color: black;
}


STEP 4:
We give them the specify number. These numbers will the exact the same as in the book.

But the difference is the blueberry here. If I follow the book, it gets to the top and so the text will be blue. BUT how is the order author/reader/browser involved here? If we put this in practice, shouldn't the color be #cccccc? The book didn't mentioned this anymore and I'm a bit confused now.

STEP 5:
Not needed here.

Book- Head First - HTML with CSS and XHTML page 504 demonstrates how you can float the sidebar to the right by adding a width and floating it to the right and by adding a margin to the content area, but when I tried this it didn't work the side bar stays below the content div.

What I have done is moved the floated sidebar before the content div in the source order and It worked, so now I'm wondering how is this working in the sample they are showing in the book if they have the content div before the side bar, it would be nice if someone who owns this book take a look at page 504 and tell me if I'm missing something.

Using Direct Input mode: UTF-8 character encoding assumed

Unlike the “by URI” and “by File Upload” modes, the “Direct Input” mode of the validator provides validated content in the form of characters pasted or typed in the validator's form field. This will automatically make the data UTF-8, and therefore the validator does not need to determine the character encoding of your document, and will ignore any charset information specified.

If you notice a discrepancy in detected character encoding between the the “Direct Input” mode and other validator modes, this is likely to be the reason. It is neither a bug in the validator, nor in your document.

what does this mean, and how do i make my code compliant?]]> Sun, 11 Oct 2009 01:19:26 -0400 http://forums.oreilly.com/index.php?showtopic=5428
