css layout template having problems

[DammyG]

Hi, I used a css sample layout but a lot of things are still not laying out properly.
The main text where the dots are go off the page, how do I limit it so I can type a way and it always stay in that space?
At the bottom I added something to the footer, now it won't fit properly, how can I have it so the footer always comes underneath even if I change the size/add content?
Here is the link: http://www.dogula.co.uk/index3.php

Thank you in advance for any help you can provide

First thing you should always do is check and make sure your page doesn't have any major errors, which your page does.

Hi, ok thanks for that, I have changed everything that had problems apart from the ones to do with the ads, what should I do about those?

[johnz]

To fix the errors you still have, instead of using </img> and </input> to close the tags just use />. Like this:

..."0" alt="Google" align="middle" /></a>

..." name="domains" value="www.dogula.co.uk" />



To keep the text of your content div from overflowing into the rest of the page, simply give it a width.


#content {
width: 475px
margin-right:150px;
padding:5px;
text-align:left;
}

thanks my page is validated now, but the width thing is not working, do you have any ideas what is wrong?

I don't see that you've added that to your stylesheet for the link you provided in your first post.

[DammyG]

#content {
width: 475px;
padding:5px;
margin-right:150px;
text-align:left;
}

That is what it says on my style sheet, is that not what I need to add?
