Basic HTML Help

YTS Primate · 27 Oct 2006 at 14:04

Please be patient as I have very little knowledge of HTML.

I’ve converted (for converted read cobbled together) my CV to HTML and uploaded it to my web space with the sole purpose of directing people to it so that it prints out exactly as it does as a two page Word Document.

With Explorer7 it looks ok and prints perfectly but firefox overlays the second page on top of the first page so I assume I’m missing some line of code that’s required by other browsers to separate the two pages.

Any help or thoughts appreciated.

A link to the CV or a bit of the html you used (without the CV content) would be useful

that's a hell of a lot of code for such a simple text based web page.

I hate to disagree... I've never seen such a mess. Both in code and physical appearance!
I'd never show such a thing to someone looking to employ me

If I were you, I'd learn basic html. You wouldn't need to know a lot to get that basic layout working.
And at the end you can add that skill to your cv!

yeah that converttohtml site you used made a horrible mess of the HTML, I would recommend learning at least basic HTML (inc tables) for the layout
