  Old  First step

Ok, im re-desiging my site in photoshop. So i took the old site down, and put up a coming soon photo from photoshop. The html script behind this is my first html script i have ever written. I was wondering if someone could take a look at the scripting and see if its ok, if theres something i should do different, something im doing wrong, or what. Any help is very much appreciated.

i'll take this one . . .

well you have half an html file here, so no suprises, it doesn't work unless i view it in IE, which i'd rather not. you ar ein violation of ther simplest rule html has ever had:

if you open something, close it!!!!

the fact that IE actually renders this as an html file digusts me unimaginably. there are many many problems with your code. let's go through the lise:
  • you didn't the other half
  • you're missing the <html> tags
  • you're missing the <head> tags
  • you closed the <style> tag before doing any styling - // because IE still renders this code i'm giving an uncorntrallably large and loud **** you to microsoft
  • your comment i missing the parts that actually comment out from source code
  • the other half is missing!

here's a colour coated, commented guide to making a splah page:
Code:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.cuttingedgestudios.com/">
<html>
<head>
<title>::Cutting Edge Studios- Coming Soon::</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<style type="text/css">
<! --

body {
	background-image: url(comingsoonphoto.gif);
}

-- > // this is the other half of the html file you did't code

</style>

</head>

<body>&nbsp;

</body>
</html>
the red is the stuff you did wrong or left out completely. i told you in the other thread, it MUST HAVE certain default tags:
  • <DOCTYPE>
  • <html>
  • <head>
  • </head>
  • <body>
  • </body>
  • </html>

And i see now what i left out and why it should be there. I added the stuff in and closed what i opened is it better now?
