Use a table for footer navigation links??

rick_dallas · 10-26-2005, 09:07 AM

I would like to add a set of footer text navigation links to the bottom of each page. I'm been playing with tables and I think they are designed to drive you crazy!

Does anyone have any thoughts on other easy ways to do this other than using a table? I'm a beginner so use small words!

Tables with HTML are not the best. Check out this site http://css.maxdesign.com.au/listamatic2/
for some pre-designed free CSS options.

Ok, I went to the page and copied and pasted a couple of these items to my website to see what they looked like. The list appears on my page as it should but underneath the list is a bunch of code that obviously should not be on the page. Thoughts on why this is happening?

With CSS, you should put all the code on a seperate file on your server. You pull the file from putting this line of code on the page you want the table on.
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/css.css" type="text/css">
Place that between <head></head> where you have meta tags
Of course you will need to name the file you have the CSS on "css.css".

If all you want is a simple table, there are some examples here.

I would highly recommend going down the CSS route in all of your design, the advantages that I have seen thus far are great. There was a bit of ramp up time moving over from other forms of coding to pure CSS, but with your novice status on the coding side, hey, you could get started on the right path from the beginning.

And don't forget to validate your code, which is always a good idea. You can use the tool located here: http://validator.w3.org/

You can also use this resource for a free .css template site.

You can alter colors, add pictures, and customize to no end, without paying a dime for the template.
