Index + Exhibit

hi all,

i have a question regarding the typo scripting on my site http://www.jeanpaulfrijns.nl.
the way i have the menu lay outed is what i like a lot.
i would like the menu lay out to be leading for the rest of the lay out of my site.

thing is, i don't know how to manage the same typeface as used in the menu on the rest of the site.
as you can see, when you click on one of the buttons (f.e. design/concept or dtp) the text "soon..." shows up in a bold typo and not in regular as i want it to be.

for the menu, i used the following scripting:

body {
font-size: 12px;
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
color: #AAAAAA ;
background: #fff;
letter-spacing: 0,5px;
line-height: 200%
}

and...

#menu ul li.section-title {
font-size: 14px;
font-family: arial;
font-weight: bold;
letter-color: #cfcfcf;
width: 200px;
border-bottom-color: #cfcfcf;
border-bottom-style: solid;
border-bottom-width: 1px;
}

help!
anyone?...

Hello there...
validate your page... lots of errors..

i'm still working and trying a lot on the page...
trying to get the lay out/typography done first hopefully errors will be gone after that :)

If you having problems then you need to deal with validation issues first.

well, i don't see any in my style.php aside from the moving menu.js that i'm not using now...

I guess I don't really understand the original question...not sure that Pindaros' help is the right advice either.

@vasko:

my question is that i would like to use the same font/typeface for ALL text as used in the menu on the left of my site.

example:
When you click on one of the buttons (f.e. DTP) you'll see that bold txt shows up.
I have nu clue why the text that shows up is bold.
I want it to be regular size txt just as usedin the menu on the left but don't know how to achieve this .

Hear me out: ....validate your page...

@ arsondpi:
you're right, 15 errors :(

i checked the source of my page through http://validator.w3.org, but have seriously no clue at all how to get rif of these errors.

i checked my index and style php files and in there i can't find back all the errors that are pointed out...

Well, I'll say it...good call Pindaros.

;)

yes, good call pindaros, but what to do to solve this vaska or pindaros?

You go through each error one by one and solve them.

that i understand but what i don't get is in what file(s) can i find the errors?

if i copy the source code and open it in dreamweaver i can go through the errors but how do i rewrite and save the source code after the corrections are done.

i solved a couple of errors in the index or style.php file which worked out fine

it's stuff you inserted in indexhibit... for example where do you have this bit of code?

1. <a href="http://www.jeanpaulfrijns.nl"><img src="http://www.jeanpaulfrijns.nl//openingspagina/header linksb 205px v03-2.png"></a>

It's easy to spot that it in the pre-nav area. Filenames should not have gaps.The img tag is not closed properly...

Start by remembering where do you keep these bits of code and fix them.
Nothing to do with dreamweaver...

so the image tag is not closed properly because of the gaps in filenames?
no prob to fix all of them, i'm on it!

now that is usefull information for someone with zero internet knowledge, thanks arsondpi!

i got rid of all gaps in filenames inserted in indexhibit.

all images are linked to my ftp.
what should a properly closed img tag look like?

i just checked in again on validator.w3.org, to see if the amount of errors became less on my page. it's still 15 errors...

When I am doing something new I research everything obsessively via Google until I find the answers. We can't do it all around here...there are many aspects to all of this that you need to try to learn and understand on your own. We can answer specific questions when they are asked...telling us that there are 15 errors on the validator...I recommend you start researching every single one of them. Google will get you much more info than this forum contains with general errors...

As I have mentioned many times around here...read the forum rules...read Useful Threads and especially the links in red...use the Search...and last week I even wrote a short thing about how to use forums (generally speaking).

true.

but, despite the errors on my site, the first question in this topic is still not answered. and in my humble opinion that's a question that lives up to the forum rules ;)

Your code is messed up and it causes the issue above.
Fix your code and the page will look as expected.

Ok. This is where I give up on things...hope you sort it out.

arsondpi: i'm working on it, 5 more errors to go!
vaska: sorry for being impatience :)

All of them, but number four especially.

People always come in here and say "I'm a print designer, I don't know..." but then they find the answers. I get emails everyday thanking me for Indexhibit but also for this forum.
