I'm currently in charge of updating the website at work. It's a pretty naff site as it is and so I've been trying to get some upto date stuff on it to make up for that. I'm not sure what the original site was made in but all the changes I've done and the updates I do though editing in notepad

One of the things I did was add a new 'news' page but I've bodged something somewhere. If you go to 'news' from the home page you may notice that there is a larger gap between the bottom right purple box and the top boxes than there is on all the other main pages. These boxes are supposed to be like the logo, equally spaced.

I can't work out what is causing this larger spacing between the top and bottom boxes, I have a very limited knowledge of websites so is anybody able to have a quick look and say what's causing it?

Site is: http://www.mebdesign.co.uk/

Thanks

The definition for the table heights changes across the two pages - from 620 on the homepage to 665 on the news page?

ohh yeah ok I've found those two differences so shall give that a try. Thanks

Site was made by a guy in one of the other offices who now no longer works for us

Actually just thought of something else I was having problems with -

If you click the link from the top news entry to the page about the marathon I set the text on that page to be normal with the links in bold. For some reason I can't get the same setup on the 'news' page, all the text seems to be in bold. So to differentiate the links they are currently underlined which I don't think is as nice.

Any idea why this is all bold on that page?

The layout shifts slightly on some pages as well

It's in BOLD because of the <STRONG> tags

Yeah probably does all change slightly, as I say I've kind of inherited the site and just about have the knowledge to change the content, the rest I'm not going to mess with.

I had put the strong tags around the links, but on the news page all of the text is in bold, not just the links. That's what's confusing me

I had this problem a while back, ended up redoing it.

Its such a tiny difference but it really does stand out

view-source:http://www.mebdesign.co.uk/index.html

<style>
<!--


div { font-family: inherit; }
.box { clear: both; margin-top: 6px; padding-top: 6px; border-top: 1px solid #666666; }
-->
</style>
<style fprolloverstyle>A:hover {color: #666699; font-weight: bold}
</style>


what I'd do is make a .css file, then remove the CSS code out of each page and link the stylesheet.

as for the news.html page, remove line 76 and line the </b> tag from line 172

edit; maybe it isn't line 76 and 172, although it is in chrome as it removes blank lines.

No problem! A CSS file is a stylesheet, instead of specifying throughout the whole site what font, colour, size etc everything should be, you simply specify it in the CSS file then link it into the HTML page. Saves a bunch of coding and what not
