COuld someone help me out with my homepage i hate that stupid green color and i just dont want a bgcolor at all i want to see that flashy thingy on the entire wepage.
@NorskMay 24.2004 — #First of all, you are doing great! I started doing html the exact same way, by trial and error. Keep up the good work.
Ok, here's a few tips. Your page has a lot of coding errors and to be honest, I was unable to get it working because I'm not exactly sure what it is supposed to look like. Lets do this first.
Here's some things we are going to try to fix
1) you have <body> and <head> tags within your document and I think this may be messing it up.
2) you have JavaScripts that need to be in the <head></head> of your page - not under the <body> tags.
3) you have cascading styles in your page that need to be in the <head></head>
So, it appears you are grabbing javascripts from javascriptsource.com and pasting them in your page. Here's what you need to do. View your code and you will see this.
<HTML><HEAD><TITLE>order of the chalice :: neo abcaa's homepage</TITLE>
see the code between the <head> and the </head>??? This is where those script need to go. Does that make sense? When you are pasting the code into your page, you need to follow those instructions and when it says "paste this into the head, they want you to put the code in between those tags.
The same applies with the <style> tags. Unfortunately, there is a lot of script and things going on and so it was very confusing for me to sort out. It might be easier to start over and build the page and then add the scripts later. I will be glad to help you more.
Otherwise, this is an example of how the code might appear.
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>order of the chalice :: neo abcaa's homepage</TITLE>
You will need to go into your code and strip out the head tags, style tags and javascript tags that are under the <body..> tag.
This is what you will need to remove: ===============================================================================================================================================================================================================
<html>
<head>
<title>Mouse Trail Script</title>
<!-- START MOUSE TRAIL SCRIPT -->
<!-- This part of the script goes between your HEAD tags. -->

So here's the bad news, you have some other things going on as well like you have table that are not opened or closed correctly. So, when I "fixed" the the above items, I still could not get your page to render correctly.
Ok, I will check back this I hope this at least gets you on the right track..
