i completely fucked up one tiny aspect of my website, and it's somewhere in the style sheet in the nav table and i'm far too dumb to fix it.

do we have any html coding geniuses?

    Along these lines, I'm trying to learn HTML and CSS myself (yes, long after everyone else). Can anyone recommend some local classes that are held in the evenings?

    The only problem I see is that the "palette" and "blog" links are giving an "Access Forbidden" error. Are you sure the problem is not with the file permissions on your server, or some webhost issue?

    don't think so. this happened after i was futzing around.

    palette should no longer exist. blog shouldn't be all wonky. access forbidden on that page is my own fault.

    Remove the List Item (LI):

    <li><a href="palette.htm"><img src="images/nav/nav_blog_off.gif" class="rollOver" width="55" height="24" alt="palette" /></a></li>

    from the Unordered List (UL) in the nav ( UL is in DIV with id="nav" )

    In the CSS, I see that the width of the "nav" DIV is 471px. You may or may not have to adjust this.

    Anything else?

    Pallate seems to only be appearing on the work.htm page. Replace the List Item (<LI>) of code for Pallate with the one for Blog on the other pages.

    Found it!

    The images http://alyssaettinger.com/images/nav/nav_blog_off.gif and http://alyssaettinger.com/images/nav/nav_blog_on.gif are 100 pixels by 100 pixels. In the image tag they are specified to be 55 pixels wide by 24 pixels high, therefore the 100 pixel square image is being compressed down to 55x24 pixels. The code (HTML, CSS) is correct, the image is the wrong size.

    You need to crop those 2 images down to 55x24 pixels. You will want to compare it to another image that is correct (like work or purchase) to make sure the baselines of the letters line up.

    No, the actual images need resizing. Crop in Photoshop or similar. The CSS and HTML should be fine.
