Yes, it's very messy.

I think what you need to understand is the separation of the style and content into separate HTML and CSS pages.

Some basic tips are to find out the font family's supported by internet explorer, how to insert a CSS page into a website and how to activate the style of the CSS page.

By finding out the above it should you refine the code to be used into a workable website.

I hope that helps.

W3Schools has some good beginner tutorials on HTML, CSS, PHP and bootstrap (great little framework as a beginner). TheNewBoston (youtube channel) has a nice beginner tutorial on bootstrap which is a little framework that might make breaking into this stuff a bit easier.

Then once you've done that, download some "Bootstrap Templates" and see how they work. You'll amaze your teacher.

Hi thanks for the reply. Yeah it is a mess. I'm just in charge with cleaning it up :(. Expression is not great but the only other option available is front page so I'm using the best I have to work with. Northern Ireland schools are very closed software wise.

This is a students work. I'm just helping the guy who teaches it. I've done a bit of dreameaver and visual basic when I was doing my degree that time. It was working one day then the student played around with it and that's the result of it

First of all, Expression Web is absolute garbage.

The comments within the HTML would be why a lot of the content isn't being displayed.

Is the <!--start Master head --> the comments in this or what are tthey if I'm incorrect ? I'm used to the \\ from visual basic and the "" from dreameaver. This has just thrown me off gaurd. And yeah the software isn't great but better than front page which is the only other option.

I can do a bit of Web development as it was in the degrees I did but I'm more networking and systems support guy

Yeah those are comments, let me tidy up the code and take a look for you properly.

Here's the code with the comments removed:

It's still a total mess but everything is visible. I noticed there is also a stylesheet linked at the top so some styling may still be missing from what you've pasted above.

Hope this helps.


THANKS MAN
worked 95%
just a few overlaps and text and stuff that need to edit with the style sheets but most of the content shows. you're a life saver man.
