Hello again.
I am trying to set up a menu with this that I copied fro DD

http://www.dynamicdrive.com/style/csslibrary/item/background_slide_in_menu/


I added a small bit to make a spot for a Header image. The two Header parts are great, but I must be having "slow brain syndrome"
I'm not able to get the menu centered. I gave up trying and finally deleted my "non-working" stuff. Sure could some advice, thank you very much
for any help. keytoner (JD Gann)
This is what I added.


<style>

p {
background-color: yellow;
}




table, th, tr, td {
border: 4px solid blue;
background-color: lightblue;
font-weight: bold;
font-style: italic;
}


body {background-color:lightblue;
}


</style>


</head>

<body>



<div>
<table style="width:100%" height="150px">

<th><img src="turkey6.jpg"></th>
<tr>
<th>
Welcome to JD's WebMarket
</th>
</tr>

</style>
</table>

<br /><br />

Done. As a future note to anyone who didn't know you can use
around your code to put it in a code block. Makes it super easy to read.

Sorry, but except for the little bit for the Header (which is the only thing I that I added), that entire code was copied directly out of Dynamic Drive CSS
as you can tell from the link that I happened to mention at the top of my post.
Didn't mean to bother you. Thanks anyway, I won't both you again. JD

Have you run your code through the W3C.org validator? I suspect not as there are numerous errors.

Firstly you are missing the opening <html> tag and you have no <title> tag in the head section which is mandatory for HTML4 & HTML5.

There are plenty of other errors which it might be wise to fix before you give us a link to your non-working page.

Hello again. I just typed out a reply but for some reason I got logged out, so I'll do it again.
I wanted to tell you that all of you are absolutely correct. I didn't validate, I am aware that I am so un-familiar with proper coding that it is very important
"Put the cart before the horse" you could say.
I am not considering anything finished from now on until the page passes the W3C validator. That way, I'll get to learn the right way to do things.
And...I will not be a hot-head any more.
Thank all of you for jerking me up short, and for your patience with me. JD

Yes, I had no intention of ever coming back to this Forum.
However, I have changed my decision.
I feel that you "Supreme" "Senior Coders" and whatever... might want to look again.
All of you brilliant people have told me that (over & over) that I don't have an <html> or a closiing </html> tag.
It could be that maybe you may need to learn to read again.
You can easily look at what I posted and (if you try to read it slowly and careful) you will see that
The little "snippet" of code at the beginning is simply a "snippet" of code which I had added. (I did explain that, by the way)
I will leave all of you "Gurus" to try looking for the forest....(hint.. It is behind the trees)
Good luck

So, your words "This is complete coding-" in post #1 are not true?

Now you have gotten me laughing!
As I mentioned, you probably should read it again, (maybe with some help this time) bye bye.

Hi Everyone,
I want to apologize to all of you
I have been a complete jerk!
This Forum is ( and should be used for ) helping other to learn and grow.
What I have done with this Forum is foolish and childish.
I am sorry and ashamed.
Please try to forgive me.

I created the basic functionality that you are looking for. You can add the coloring effects and everything else that you need.
