What software do you use roger? Do you have a website I can look at?

I use a variety of software. My older sites were made in Claris Home Page: I've used RapidWeaver for constructing something fairly quickly, but mostly I've used Kompozer, which is 'WSYWIG' but also allows you to edit the HTML and I've sometimes done a lot of that.

If you want to browse my sites you can start at http://78rpm.org.uk , but it's going to take you a lot of work to get to the stage of doing some of this stuff - I've been building websites for fourteen years. There's nothing wrong in using a quick-and-easy method like iWeb, and in fact your site looks perfectly fine. As I said before, all this hassle is because you've been insisting on getting a URL which is not what iWeb was designed to to - I'm not criticising this, but the other side of a program which is easy to use is that you have to accept its limits. If you want full and detailed control over everything you are going to have to learn to do a lot of hand-coding including Javascript and css. Frankly, it's probably not worth the effort - I do it because I enjoy it, not because I'm trying to sell a service.

Your one!! It wasn't really.. Just thought I'd wind you up ;)

He doesn't need winding up - he runs on batteries.

Here's the errors list...

Yes, the meta tag should be outside the body tag, though as it's all in the noframes tag I doubt anyone's going to read it. the border and frameborder are immaterial as they are zero, but in a frameset where they are required they seem to work well enough.

Now that we don't use tables, framesets, etc HTML is really easy to learn. Far better to use a proper editor app than Text Edit!

jQuery mobile does all the work for you and even has a themeroller that does the CSS if you need it. Its not that hard to get into, its free and the documentation is really comprehensive...

Roger, http://78rpm.org.uk/ doesn't work on my iPad...

It should to a point - the rollovers won't work but when I tried it in an Apple Store I was able to get to the other sites from it - however it, and they, weren't designed for the iPad (apart from some pages having mobile versions) so you'd be better off using a computer.

CSS = Cascading Style Sheets: separate text pages, or sections of text within the page, which carry the formatting instructions. For example, you can have single text file which a large number of pages use to determine their formatting (the pages carrying only the actual contents). For example you could specify that all links were coloured green. Then if you changed your mind and wanted them coloured orange you would change the stylesheet and all the pages would change immedately.

Nope. 100% doesn't load. It's a white empty page and I am able to refresh but its still blank...

I'm afraid I can't do anything about that.

Do you spend a lot of time on this forum roger?

Far too much.

Do you have an email?

I don't run an email clinic, as I'm sure you will understand. Everything is done in the forum.
