after re-coding my website over the past couple of days, i've given it a routine run through the w3c validator and it keeps returning errors saying i've included "character data" …

Have you tried 'Zap gremlins' from BBEdit (replacing them with bullet characters) to make sure there's nothing wrong. The characters you're seeing usually mean a UTF8 character has…

thanks oisin - I never knew that <title> tag existed. sooo easy but can I ask - 1. whats the simplest way to format the text box (like make the background white) 2. and is…

I should add that I found this javascript that does allow you to change the format of the boxes but my head is spinning trying to figure out how to implement it on an image based w…
