My error
« on: November 22, 2012, 04:53:30 PM »
Hi Forum, I have done some bad programming, can anyone help me fix my error that is causing the footer to be not straight? Something to do with the link I think.

Hi Peter,

Your problem is not with the bottom menu itself, but with last thing before this menu!
You have inserted "NIWA links" at bottom of right column, but since it contain a few
mistakes it reflects on lines below him(footer menu)

Then you only have to correct these:

Small errors (called "warnings"):
-  You have misplaced tags alt="..." and title="..."
you have included them in your <a href="http://..." alt="..." title="...">
instead of the right place... on the image, like this:
<img src="..." alt="..." title="...">

Reminders:
alt="" stands for "alternative text" to display when image is not available for some reason
title="" is for "tooltip" text displayed when mouse is over, but this is not a real "error",
just a not logical (a text to explain a text), but is allowed.

Mistake :
On line 172, you're using <image src="...  instead of <img src="... 

Error :
On your niva link, you forgot a simple character ">"
<a href="..."</a> instead of <a href="...">Click HERE</a> for Niwa UV Index.
Also, I've pointed in green that the text for your link is misplaced.
That is not a big error since browsers are clever enough to correct things like that.

Then, as you see only a few little mistakes

Best regards,
Jacques

Thank you Mr Meteo!

I have learnt so much from you, I have only learnt by doing, and your guidance is so helpful.

I have so much fun I stay up until 2.00 a.m and start to make silly mistakes :( but the results are worth it.

Now to play with the "gallery" page, my aim is to present  images with nivo slider like from "Weather Blues".

Thanks again!

Hi Peter,

You know when we do nothing, we don't do errors...
but my Dad said: "Experience is sum of all past errors!"  ;)

Gallery will be a great addition to your template!!!
I am in a hurry to see images of your 'corner of country' (??)!

Best regards,
Jacques

I have completed the setup of the gallery! Not as "smooth" or polished as "Weather Blues" though. but functional.

Would welcome any suggestions to improve.

Now to add some custom images.

Peter

Hi Peter,

Things are going good!

If you want some hints, I can give you these:

1 - To edit file easier, Notepad++ is very good as it help you with a common mistake
(you made), forgetting to close things; like <div>...</div>. When you put your cursor
on a pair of tag like this, it highlight both tags as far as they can be in the text!!
Then, if you put cursor on a <div> (as example), if it doesn't highlight, you know that
the closing </div> is missing... very usefull!

Then, as you will see, after this comment: <!-- content ends -->.... 4 </div> is missing!
Keep in mind, in XHTML, all is open (like <p>), must be closed...</p>

2 - Your slideshow is out of center, you could correct it by modifying file gallery.css
find in it the section: #gallery and modify number in this line: width: 800px;

3 - Finally, in your file jquery.ad-gallery.css, at line 63, you wil find a section starting:
.ad-gallery .ad-image-wrapper .ad-image
in that section, simply remove line position: absolute;

A little detail, the .css files are hide in a sub-sub folder, a good way to find them is to look
in you top <head> section, you will find line <link... refering to them as this:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="lib/gallery/gallery.css" />

Then I wish you a lot of fun, and don't forget; Only way to have experience is to do errors!!  ;)

Best regards,
Jacques
