Then the code you are using is not valid for that doctype. Try using this:
Code: Select all
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC '-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN' 'http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd'>
Ew, the way you're making that grey bar is ugly. Why not do this:
Code: Select all
navFrame {
border-right: #A9A9A9 20px solid;
width: 150px;
height: 900px;
margin: 0px 0px 0px 0px;
}
<iframe class='navFrame' src="nav.html" valign="top" hspace="0" vspace="0" frameborder="0" scrolling="yes"></iframe>

Make the header smaller and replace that fox image, and don't use tables.

}
<iframe class='navFrame' src="nav.html" valign="top" hspace="0" vspace="0" frameborder="0" scrolling="yes"></iframe>
I added that doctype, then revalidated, got this as my first error:
Line 5, column 12: there is no attribute "XMLNS"
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
You have used the attribute named above in your document, but the document type you are using does not support that attribute for this element. This error is often caused by incorrect use of the "Strict" document type with a document that uses frames (e.g. you must use the "Transitional" document type to get the "target" attribute), or by using vendor proprietary extensions such as "marginheight" (this is usually fixed by using CSS to achieve the desired effect instead).
This error may also result if the element itself is not supported in the document type you are using, as an undefined element will have no supported attributes; in this case, see the element-undefined error message for further information.
How to fix: check the spelling and case of the element and attribute, (Remember XHTML is all lower-case) and/or check that they are both allowed in the chosen document type, and/or use CSS instead of this attribute.
--------------
Also added that code you suggested for my navbar, didn't do anything, unless I did it wrong, here;
Code: Select all
<head>
<style>
navFrame {
border-right: #A9A9A9 20px solid;
width: 150px;
height: 900px;
margin: 0px 0px 0px 0px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<iframe class="navFrame" src="nav.html" valign="top" width="150" height="900" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" hspace="0" vspace="0"
frameborder="0" scrolling="yes" bordercolor="#000000">
</iframe>

Hey! That's actually kinda sweet, I just like having my foxhound image up there though ;p How much altering did you do to the code? just borders to my tables?

I didn't edit the code, it's just a quick mock done in photoshop to give an idea.

Ah, what I should do is go get my old copy of Dreamweaver MX, open the site up in that and fix the errors that way, this is a major head-ache, specially since I'm tired.

Yeah you really should, it sort of like saying do I need to use correct grammer & spelling when I publish a book.

If you don't your site gets taken off the internet. Plus it's less likely to cause problems for various browsers.

you need a '.' in front of 'navFrame' in the style declaration, eg: ".navFrame {".

why not color the fox in photoshop and clean it up so it looks less like a scan of a cocktail napkin and more like it belongs on a computer.

According to the validater it is. I'm used to using single quotes because I always use PHP to generate the HTML.

Maybe I should make a new layout, this just isn't working the way I thought it would.
