Re: Images won't float

remove the dimensioning from zero
0pt = 0px = 0%= 0em = 0,
dimensioned zero may put the browser into quirks mode,
it could be as simple as how the browser handles invalid css

Re: Why

the image urls are all wrong, some of the spaces are encoded as %20 some are not, on an apache server h is not equal to H, so mixed case filenames are confusing
a url must include a protocol
if a local file, it begins with file: file://localhost/C:/image.jpg and nobody but your login will ever see it
note the difference in slashes between the above and your U:\Bertrand Web Page 2009\BHS WEB\high school\michael-speech.gif which will cause the server to have a small fit

if a 'remote' file the hypertext transfer protocol has no real relationship to the file structure, the html root can be anywhere in the disk file tree, different for each user, and the file may be http://localhost/image.jpg if the root for each user is set to their own folder
Somewhere (usually buried DEEP) in course notes will be a list including base hrefs, at least there should be
for some sites I maintain userfiles can be accessed directly as
http:// ..... ~[user].sitename.com/filename users.sitename.com/[user]/filename www.sitename.com/users/[user]/filename www.sitename.com/~[user]/filename
there is only one copy of the file and apache sorts out the reference,
the risk of confusion is large and quite a few have deleted the 'extra copy' of the file the uploaded, because it was there twice :)

Re: Hyperlinks colour

the link color you see on pages you visit each day,
reflects the fact you have visited the site before, that link is referenced in your history so shows as 'visited'
If you clear the history, the site link will go back to the standard 'not visited' color.
either you have cleared your browser history, or some maintenance program, (spybot mbam superantispyware, all do it), has cleared your history
the link should return to the 'visited' color until you clear the history again

Re: HTML Menu Links

spaces in file names
http servers do not like spaces %20 html encoding should replace spaces,
framesets are out of date,

not indexed well by search engines

server includes in shtml
or php includes
or asp includes
are the current best practice for creating menu systems

to get the site offline
rename the current index.html file to 'somethingelse.html'
create a new index.html file with just a ,page under development. message
when you want to look type in the full url to somethingelse.html

when its up n running, delete index.html rename somethingelse.html index.html

Re: Help with CSS

I took your css and pulled all the declarations into order,, first to last within element name,
There are multiple declarations of the same element scattered throughout the file, many of them contradict each other.
Its no wonder the effect is not quite as you expect, as each later declaration changes something of the previous ones
If you collect the effect you do want for each declared element, your css may be much smaller, and appear as you expect onscreen

you can remove any part of a declaration begin in HTML or *, its redundant everything is the child of html that is the child of global * html p or html p or * p is just p

Re: how to put the whole url GET VARIABLES INCLUDED into a php variable.

that mod_rewrite kind of thing,
is a text file,
like php html cgi asp,
it just tells the server to do something as any other script
it sits in a file called .htaccess (nothing.htaccess just an extension name) in the root folder of the site

if the result isnt what you expect when you type http://mysite.com?this=that&theother you can always delete the .htaccess file without any problem
If you are on an apache hosted site it might be worth the time to paste those five lines (blank before and after the code) to a text file called .htaccess and ftp it to your site to check if it works
bloody easier way to fix it than php scripting

Are all those multiple stylesheets inside <style></style> there is one there incomplete, I assume copy/paste issues but have to ask a:visited is defined twice is the code shown, is it defined also in the linked stylesheet, the results may not be as you expect because only the last definition of any element actually does anything

Re: Embed executable in HTML

for windows that can be accomplished by dragging the command prompt shortcut onto the desktop then anytime you click it you have a command console
there is bound to be a plugin in one of the shareware/freeware repositories to let you continue the background across the cmd window

still not sure if this is what you mean

Re: make a javascript function image link to a new page

Thank you so much - its work in IE - life saver!

IE non-compliance issues **expletive deleted**, but IE holds ~85% of all browsers so pages have to work in IE, those code scraps are compliant(just) and work across all browsers

As a reference http://www.browsershots.org creates screenshots of your page in just about every browser as a test bed
its distributed processing, (seti, folding, etc)
you can get screens from whatever browser is online at the time you make the request often 50+

glad to be of help, have a lot of assistancedebt to give back thanks to others here

Re: DHTML for sreensaving?

& added to airshow's reply
taking over the hardware, for any purpose, is a typical act of malware.
Browser makers release innumerable updates to separate the browser from contact with the underlying hardware
If you did find such an exploit, browser makers would be quick to close it in case some person with 'less than ideal' intent were to use it for other purposes

Re: Embed executable in HTML

I don't want this for everyone. This is just for me, for my convenience.

Then for why not put it on a thumbdrive in your pocket
