Got a website ==> http://www.angelfire.com/fl5/tearinox/songs/css.html
Making so i can practice html/css skills.

but i have 2 problems.

1) One i dont want to have the tables resizing when i add more text than i'm supposed to. I want the text to just go on to the next row.

2) My css formatting is only working sometimes.. Let me show you where im getting the problem

Code:

<html><head><STYLE>
TABLE {background:00C9FF }
body {background-color: rgb(39,39,39)}
h1 {color: rgb(155,0,0); letter-spacing: 2px; font-size: 13; font-family: Courier}
h2 {color: gray; letter-spacing: 2px; font-size: 12; font-family: Courier}
table {position: relative; top: -5px; left: -5px;cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0}
hr {color: black>
 TD.redtext {border: thick solid red; color:red ; font-size:24pt}
</style></head>

<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing"0">
<tr>
 <td><img src="penguin.jpg" width="100px" height="100px"></td>
 <td width="100%" align=center><img src="gotlinux_final3.jpg"></td>
	

 <table border=1 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 bgcolor=#282828>
  <tr>
   <td class="redtext" colspan=1 align=center> <h1>Archive</td>
   <td class=redtext colspan=1 align=center><h1>News</td>
   <td colspan=1 align=center><h1>Links</td>

  <tr>
   <td colspan=1 width=150px align=center>Nothing new</td>
   <td colspan=1 width=685px align=center>
    
    <table border=3><td align=center><h2><hr color=black>Jan 26, 2004<hr color=black></td>
    <tr>
     <td><h1>  I made this webpage</table>
   
   <td width=150px align=center> s</td>

</body></html>
<noscript>

I think you are one line off

Change:
hr {color: black>
to:
hr {color: black}

I think the hr definition is spilling onto the next line.

I've done it my self a few times too. It's so annoying since you never actually look at the line with the error.

An easy way to catch things like that is to use the validator. HTML Tidy is a useful program too; formats your HTML if you like, and does validation too.
