Why is my background repeating at the bottom of my page?

[kurie726]

The page in question is located at http://home.mchsi.com/~kurie/

The pictures of the dog on the right side are the correct size, 70x70, but they bleed over into the red bar at the bottom of thier box. Also, the site background is starting to repeat itself at the bottom of the page, and I'm not sure why.

If anyone could help out with this, I would appreciate it. Thanks!

Hi there kurie726,

put bluntly, your problems are caused by your use of coding methods that are ten years out of date.

• Why tables for layout is stupid: problems defined, solutions offered
• Ten ways to speed up the download time of your web pages
• Nested Tables: About the (ab)use of tables as layout tools in webpages.
• Why Tables Are Bad (For Layout) Compared to Semantic HTML + CSS
• Why go table free?
• http://davespicks.com/essays/notables.html Why avoiding tables (for layout) is important

If I get time I will show you how it should be coded.

I was kind of afraid that would be the answer. It's kind of funny since it's been about 10 years since I graduated from my computer repair/web design class. I really need to take a class on CSS. I live in a small town though, and the local schools do not offer this. I appreciate your input.

W3schools has a nice introductory online course for learning CSS. It is free, so no worries about it. Go check it out and let us know if you have any questions.

Hi there kurie726,

I did have a little spare time this afternoon, it was raining and I gave the golf course a miss.

So check out the attachment to see the fruit of my labours.
