I am planning a few changes to my weather pages
www.easterling.freeserve.co.uk/weather.html

I thought it might be time to change a few of the photos, but the
trouble is which.

If anyone has any suggestions as to which ones should go (only to be
replaced by something even better) or any other constructive comments
(which will probably be ignored, but you never know) please EMAIL them
to me using the link on the the web site.

Looks fine with Omniweb.

Speaking of which what sort of code is this:
..Footer-P
{
margin:0.0pt 0.0pt 0.0pt 0.0pt; text-align:center;
}
..Web-A-Heading-1-P
{
margin:0.0pt 0.0pt 0.0pt 0.0pt; text-align:left;
}
..PPStyle7-P

There is a Usenet group that has expert help for HTML and they don't
mind you posting page source code on it:
http://groups.google.com/group/alt.html.critique?lnk=oa

Best I can do you for.

CSS at a guess. Perhaps you might want to look at
http://www.w3schools.com/css/default.asp or there may be a forum where
you can get help.

I think you'd rather not have your inbox stuffed full of e-mails
(especially when some of them are sarcastic)!

Style definitions, commonly known as CSS -- http://www.w3.org/Style/CSS/


The original problem is that there are absolute positions defined which
assume the use of 10point text size, which is unreadably small on medium
to high definition screens (1260x1024 up), and so does not allow the
viewer to select a text font size that is comfortable for them.

The rationale for Style Sheets is to separate the content from the display
parameters and so to avoid such, err, deficiencies.

Failed miserably, the thread's evolved just the way I feared, I should
know better!
(Having said that Graham Davis' reply was useful.)

May I suggest, Graham, that you use http://validator.w3.org/ to validate
your pages? Only 4 errors show up on that page - and three of those refer
to the same problem - so it's much better than the vast majority of sites
including, I'm sad to say, the new Met Office pages.


I'll add that if you have Firefox you might consider installing the
Web Developer add-on: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/60/
