Blitz3D Forums/Blitz3D Beginners Area/Website Template

wizzlefish(Posted 2004) [#1]
I was up till 11 last night working on my website template. I haven't completed anything except the basic template. I made it by myself, with no outside help.

Any feedback would be great.

Here it is:
http://www.noenemies.com/site2.html

Totally unreadable in FireFox.


Braincell(Posted 2004) [#3]
Looks ok here in Opera, except that sites that use only shades of a single colour (in this case green) are about as interesting as black & white TVs if u ask me.


Knotz(Posted 2004) [#4]
Hmm teh text could become totally unreadable in that green/black color scheme

Let HTML Validator do the writing:

BTW, don't be humiliated by the listing, it's a help. Even the BlitzBasic site has a nasty error in the page's end :
...<table width="100%"><tr><td></body></html>
notice the stray table

1. Warning: [24] A document type declaration should appear as the first line (line 1) of every HTML document. For example, for HTML 4.01 Strict documents, <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"> should be the first line. For HTML 4.01 Transitional documents, the first line should be <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">. For HTML 4.01 Frameset documents, the first line should be <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Frameset//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/frameset.dtd">. Although HTML recommendations generally require this line, most browsers probably ignore it. If you are using HTML Validator's integrated editor, then you can add this from the Tags menu and/or from the Tag Inserter.

4. Message in line 4 at character 2: [111] Tip - A good title is very important. Use many keywords in your title tag but make it readable. This is good for search engine rankings and when the page is bookmarked. Example: <title>Download CSE HTML Validator - Powerful HTML and Link Checking Software for Windows</title>.

5. Message in line 4 at character 8: [8] This document's title contains only 3 words. It may be inadequate for search engine purposes. A good title is important to your search engine rankings and listings. AI Internet Solutions recommends a title that is 5-15 words in length and that contains a relevant and descriptive phrase.

6. Error in line 10 at character 47: The "cellpadding" attribute has an invalid attribute value "30px". Try using one of the following values: a percent, a positive integer, or "0" (zero).

7. Error in line 10 at character 47: Attribute values for the "cellpadding" attribute of the "table" element should not contain CSS length units like "px". CSS length units should only be used in CSS syntax, not HTML/XHTML syntax.

8. Message in line 10 at character 2: [5] The "table" element is an official HTML 4.01 and XHTML element but may not be supported by older or nongraphical browsers. Furthermore, nongraphical browsers that do support tables may not support them the way that you expect. However, most browsers used today should support this element.

9. Message in line 10 at character 8: [9] The "align" and "bgcolor" attributes for the "table" element are deprecated in HTML 4.01 and XHTML in favor of using style sheets. Instead of align="center", consider using the following CSS to center the table: "margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto". This is the correct CSS way but it may not work with some (mostly older) browsers.

10. Error in line 11 at character 6: The "border" attribute is not valid for the "tr" element.

12. Message in line 12 at character 22: [9] The "bgcolor" attribute for the "td" and "th" elements is deprecated in HTML 4.01 and XHTML in favor of using style sheets. Consider using the CSS "background-color" property instead of the "bgcolor" attribute.

13. Message in line 13 at character 5: [9] The "font" element and all of its attributes are deprecated in HTML 4.01 and XHTML in favor of using style sheets (use the CSS "color", "font", "font-family", "font-size", and other font properties instead).

14. Message in line 13 at character 20: The "strong" element should be used instead of the "b" element when you want to denote strong emphasis. The "b" element should only be used when you want bold typeface but do not want strong emphasis. Many web authors use the "b" element when the "strong" element would be more appropriate.

49. Comment: This program can help you make your web pages more accessible. An accessible page is one that more individuals can use, such as individuals who are blind or deaf. It can also increase the usefulness of your web page for individuals who browse the web using slower devices like older computers or wireless devices like cell phones and PDAs. An accessible web site makes good business sense (and possibly good legal sense as well). You can enable or disable accessibility checking in the Validator Engine Options.

50. Comment: You can disable all the error messages for improperly quoted attribute values by having HTML Validator ignore and disregard the quotation mark requirements for attribute values. This option is in CSE HTML Validator's Validator Engine Options. However, it is recommended that you leave these error messages enabled and that you properly enclose attribute values in quotation marks.

51. Comment: You can ignore the nesting errors by turning off the option to check HTML tag nesting. However, it is recommended that you leave this feature enabled. This option is in CSE HTML Validator's Validator Engine Options.

52. Comment: You can change the maximum number of error messages to display before the validation is terminated. This option is in CSE HTML Validator's Validator Engine Options.

53. Comment: Possibly misspelled words (2, 2 unique): BlitzBasic (1x), Lattyware (1x). Complete list.

54. Comment: HTML document detected.

55. Comment: [111] Tip - Do not use hidden text, small text, comments, popular but unrelated words, etc. to try to 'cheat' to gain better search engine rankings. This is dishonest and some search engines may lower a page's rank for trying to 'cheat'.

56. Comment: [8] <meta name="description" content="(actual description)"> should be used in the "head" section to provide a brief description of what is contained on this page. This information is used by many search engines when indexing a site. If you are using HTML Validator's integrated editor, then you can add this from the Tags menu and/or from the Tag Inserter.

57. Comment: [8] <meta name="keywords" content="(actual keyword list)"> should be used in the "head" section to provide a list of keywords that are relevent to this page. This information is used by many search engines when indexing a site. If you are using HTML Validator's integrated editor, then you can add this from the Tags menu and/or from the Tag Inserter.

58. Comment: An ICRA label (a rating "meta" tag) was not found in the "head" section of this document. Browsers that are enabled with this rating system may not display documents that have not been labelled. If you have labelled this document by rating the section (directory) in which it is found, or if your site is a personal web space on a large Internet Service Provider, it is still recommended that you include the rating "meta" tag on all of your pages for performance reasons. For more information, please visit http://www.icra.org/.

59. Comment: Although not normally necessary, you may want to include a "meta" tag similar to the following in the "head" section of your document: <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=us-ascii">

60. Comment: [10] CSE HTML Validator Std/Pro allows you to disable certain messages (like this example message) and groups of related messages by disabling flags. For instance, the [10] at the beginning of this message indicates that you can disable this message by disabling validator flag 10. If you are using HTML Validator's integrated editor, then you can simply use your mouse on this message to open the context menu (usually done by right-clicking the mouse on this message) and select 'Disable Flag 10' to disable this message. For more information about disabling messages, please look at the Configuration section in the documentation.

61. Comment: CSE HTML Validator Std/Pro allows you to disable many messages on an individual basis without using flags. For instance, you can disable this message by using HTML Validator's integrated editor to open the context menu for this message (usually done by right-clicking the mouse on this message) and selecting 'Options for this Message->Disable Message' to disable this message. For more information about disabling messages, please look at the Configuration section in the documentation.

Amazing....I've got a lot to fix....

Can anyone post a screenshot of it in Firefox?


Strider Centaur(Posted 2004) [#6]
Why not just download and install firefox, its fast and free. :)

http://www.mozilla.org


Sledge(Posted 2004) [#7]
You might want to download the web developer plug-in for Firefox while you're at it. It's quite useful.


Rob Farley(Posted 2004) [#8]
When doing a website you need to download Opera and Firefox as I believe that IE, Opera and Firefox are the 3 most used browsers, if it looks fine in those 3 you're probably onto a winner with most other browsers. FireFox also has a validator plugin that's dead handy for checking that it complies.


Knotz(Posted 2004) [#9]
IE, Opera and Firefox are the 3 most used browsers


From the stats of our site (> 700.000 visitors), the top three:

IE 76.03%
Mozilla/Firefox 16.84%
Opera 2.64%


wizzlefish(Posted 2004) [#10]
Go IE!


wizzlefish(Posted 2004) [#11]
A new update - let's see how boring it is now!

http://www.noenemies.com/site3.html


GfK(Posted 2004) [#12]
The colour scheme is as awful as it was before. If not worse.

What's this thread got to do with Blitz, anyway?


Sledge(Posted 2004) [#13]
For the love of God design it using Firefox as a guide then tweak the (non-standard) IE specific bits for IE. The main blurb is black text on a black background and the Navigation and Links content doesn't even register.


wizzlefish(Posted 2004) [#14]
I think I know what the problem is.

I've used colors such as "AA7B64," which must not be web-safe. Odd - it appears perfect on IE - the only problem is the non-websafe colors.

Which means I cannot use my neat little color scheme any more. :(

Oh well. I'll try to fix things up. I hope I can get this done in time :(

What about Netscape? Anyone using Netscape?


wizzlefish(Posted 2004) [#15]
Lenn - how's the color scheme now?


Sledge(Posted 2004) [#16]

Oh well. I'll try to fix things up. I hope I can get this done in time :(


You need to decide on a DocType - you won't get any decent validation feedback until you do. 4.01 Transitional should be fine.


Odd - it appears perfect on IE -


You can get away with a lot of sloppy stuff in IE... which seems very helpful until you realise that it's taught you to write rubbish HTML. (Been there, done that!)

EDIT: Some of this might come in useful...
