Few Website Questions

[Ynhockey]

1. How do I create a vertical line, so I can have links on one side?

2. How do I "text wrap" an image?

3. Is this possible with geocities?: make another account and upload files which I can use on my site as download links?

4. Is there a better hoster then geocities, with at least 20mb and little or no ads?

1) Everyone said frames, or even tables, but y'all forgot CSS... CSS allows you to have only a right border with a table or something, it's really great.

<style>
[tag] {border-x: solid blue 2px}
</style>

Where x is either top, right, left or borrom, solid is the opacity (not sure about this), blue is the colour (could be any colour or a hexadecimal RGB value), 2px is the width of the border (could be 5px or whatever number). [tag] is the tag you wanna apply the border to. I think it works with Table, TD, Span, Div, P, and many more. Just experiment offline.

4) Try www.narod.ru they give 100 MB or space or something, but it&#39;s quite slow. I think it has an ad like Geocities but you can remove that with a script. www.spaceports.com gave 50 MB (not sure if it works now), and i think it had some ads...

But if you want to build a serious site, there are only 2 ways i know of to get the appropriate hosting:
1. Pay for it (obviously).
2. Make friends with someone who owns a server and ... you get the idea.

Good luck

thanks mate, I&#39;ll try that.

The site I&#39;m making really is just a bit of fun, a mini hobby so there&#39;s no way I would pay.
If I don&#39;t even pay for singles I wouldn&#39;t buy a site .

So there&#39;s no script to stop the geocities ad-sqaure?

Duties are not performed for duty&#39;s sake, but because their neglect would make the man uncomfortable. A man performs but one duty - the duty of contenting his spirit, the duty of making himself agreeable to himself.

Thank you for your replies, they are helping.

In my continous struggle to have a site with no ads and not having to pay I have noticed something you html experts may be able to help me with.

Sometimes then my page loads there is no ad square at all&#33;
When this happens, in the left corner I&#39;m told the page is "done, with errors" and the details are

"syntax error"
Line: 2
Char: 29

So would there be a way of making this error constant?

OMG, I think it has worked what King Yoshi first mentioned&#33;

Please check my site now and see if there are ads , then tell me.
Things are looking good&#33;

Hmm, it&#39;s definitely not a HTML error. Maybe JS, but as far as i remember, JS errors are worded differently... so it could be ASP or something. Anyway, if it says line 2 then just open the source and check what&#39;s wrong with line 2... you&#39;ll surely notice something if there&#39;s an error...
