My Questions Hey everyone,
Okay, i've got a pretty okay understanding of HTML and CSS. Parts of HTML I havnt learnt yet are Forms/Tables and Frames, After I have a basic understanding of that I want to move on to javascript, but I want to do it quickly, so if someone can give me quick awnsers that would be great.
First of all, I just want to ask if this layout looks ok in other browsers:
Edit: I've Solved my second question about the form thing, it was quite simple! Then Again it alway is when you have figured it out. :o
PS: I named this topic My Questions, incase I have any more, instead of making another topic. Hope that okay.

If you're serious about web development, you'll install the main browsers, so you can test your layouts yourself.
Also, we prefer you start a thread for each new question, with a descriptive subject. This way, others who are searching for answers can find the threads. They won't know that "My Questions" might answer a question about table-based layouts, for example.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but if iyou intend to be a serious web developer then IE is the first browser you should aim to get perfect.

I strongly disagree with this advice. It's more important to get the underlying code right, and then address any browser discrepancies. As a web developer, I prefer FireFox, as the most standards-compliant browser.
Once I have the code right, with the page displaying correctly in FireFox, and validated against the w3c.org validators, then and only then will I test/fix IE.
Starting by getting things to "look right" in IE will lead to buggy code and extreme maintenance issues down the road.

No that's not what I meant.
IE is used by more people than firefox, fact. Don't they have 90% of the market share ? Anyway you need to make sure it's displaying ok in IE at the very least. Seems the OP is neglecting this fact. In the code he posted the mouseovers don't work for IE. Well, at least that's what I found when I tested it.
I'm not saying write your code in a **** poor way such that it only works in IE. No far from it.
Like you said writing good standard code to display correctly across the most popular browsers is paramount.
