Hey Guys I'm New Here and I Have a Problem

I'm currently building a website:
http://members.shaw.ca/pixelatedkarma/

Now my problem lies with the initial load of the website. When I first load up the website if you look at the bottom and on the right it doesn't load all the way to the edge(that fixes after you press refresh). Now I've thought of a few ways to fix it the main one being using some sort of javascript or meta tag reload script. However all the ones out there I've seen keep reloading and I just need the site to reload once. Anyone have any suggestions?

Hi KarmaKing, and welcome to webdigity :)

The main problem that your site has, is that you are using depricated code.

For instance the background=.... is depricated, so I will advice you to read an xHTML tutorial and start redisign your site with CSS.

This way it will load faster, and will look the same in some years ;)

Thank you very much Nikolas for the advice, however there are so many tutorials out there that it's hard to shift through good ones that actually teach you something, any chance you could point me in the direct of acouple good websites to be able to not just give me the tutorials but explain what it is I'm doing? I'd really appreciate that.

And thanks for the welcome  :)

Have a look at w3schools They have a nice way to explaining CSS. They show the source and the output on one page so you can change things in the source to see what it does.

You can check those :

thank you guys, you've both been very helpful and I look forward to being a productive member of this community.

If you have read and tried all the tutorials tham its easy to build website ;D
welcome @webdigity and in the world of web-design...

So I started making a container with CSS following one of the tutorials on W3 and got it to span the whole width of the page(step one went pretty good), but how do I get it to span the entire length of a page?

thats a tricky one, the are several mods on the net but they are not the best you can do. My advice is to plan you site well and use upon the amount of your site a min-height value...

Okay well if you see the site I orginally started out making above(refresh it after opening it), its more or less just a table that spans the whole length and width of the page no matter the browser size. Now that I'm redoing it in css and xhtml I got the width to span no matter the browser size which was a simple width command. However I also need the css to do the height. I am not looking to redo my design, I am simply updating the code as suggested to me above, so please does somebody have a fix for this?

try this tutorial: http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum83/200.htm

You need a subscription  :-\

it's free never paid for it otherwise check this via google:

or something like...

but again this is not the way to do it, check this site: http://www.all4yourwebsite.com/

it looks like a 100% height but it's not (check the css to learn)

Ya somethin like that but I think I found a good basis for what I'm trying to do so I'll fiddle around and let you guys know on Monday what my results are. Maybe I might make a breakthrough  ??? ;D
