Wow, hate the font under the PCSASU logo at the top.
And it would be neat if you would tell me what plug in I need somewhere
on the page. Firefox tells me I need a plug in, but I'm reluctant to
click on the "install missing plugins" for fear of actually installing
something I don't want. Hell I don't know you or your cause from a
hole in the ground, so being cautious as I am and fearful, I'm not doing it.
Just minor observations.
But other than this, it looks like its working normally and I just need
to add some plugin. Sorry, but now that I've been there and re-read
your post, I'm not sure I understand the question.

should be handled internally. And seems like you have the problem too,
or probably the code on my page. I was hoping someone with HTML
experience could help.
My question is how do i keep firefox from saying theres a missing
plugin?
And no its not a virus, this is a known problem, google "unknown
plugin text/html"
If you click install, it will say "Unknown Plugin (text/html)"

there as an HTML expert, even though I code with a text editor and do
some cute stuff, but I'm still just catching on to style sheets right
now. But I've never see stuff like:
<td id="header_logo_cell"><img
src="logo.gif" alt="" height="100"
width="87" /></td>
the /> is the only item I question. Never seen closing an img tag that
way. I usually just <img ..... > and that's it. But now you've
see my entire knowledge base, so don't take it to heart too much.

extreme modification of the apple server default page, 1 page, which
is why navigation looks out of place, but im slowly pulling it
together, and slowly making the website my own and less and less
copied from the apple page.
The truth is, i never learned HTML, or css stuff, or php, but by
looking at examples on Google, and copying and pasting, and guessing
what img and stuff stands for, i can modify it enough to make a rough
page. Later on i will learn HTML and actually know what I'm doing. But
for now, Google is my best friend.

<object data="information.html"

height="400" width="600" /> Error: Embedded
data could
not be displayed. </object>
Looking at Tools -> Page Info -> Media, I see that the 'information' URL
is listed, both as an Object, and an Embed. I may be wrong, but I think
FF see's the <object>/<embed> tags, and looks for a plugin to handle it.
I'm certainly no expert, but that's the first time I've seen text/html
included using <object>/<embed> tags. Normally, I think you would use
either frames, or some flavor of server side scripting, if your hosting
provider offers such, to include the content of another page.
At any rate, I feel fairly certain that is the cause of the prompt.

No offense intended, but, to be bluntly honest, I think you will be much
better off, if you start learning sooner, rather than later.
The problem with your current approach is that, as you will find, there
are many (way too many) examples of 'bad' code out there. Stuff that
may work fine in one browser (IE, for instance), but not another.
As a starting point, you might try the tutorials at W3Schools (free):

<object data=information.html width="505" height="250"> <embed
src=information.html width="600" height="400"> </embed> Error: Embedded
That message usually comes up when there is an embedded object that
requires a plug-in. I'm not sure why you need to have that HTML file as
an embedded object.

I deleted that and it worked, but now i dont have an information
section, and i dont want to have to edit every page to change
something in the info section.

Serious incorrect use of the object and embed tags. Those are for inserting
multimedia into a page layout and dedicating spsce for the audio/video
content being processed by an external application, Use of an 'Include" is
the old HTML way, Modern pages use XHTML and an <iframe> tag set.

No, it is the correct syntax for closing an image tag in XHTML. It just
so happens that the /> syntax is not harmful in HTML 4, and so that
style is sometimes used for both.

If you want HTML reference

Might be a bit dated, but most is there.

Do you think you can take the snippet of code that i use now and
convert it to the iframe thing? Please? It would be greatly
appreciated.
David Pyles
little HTML. Here's an iframe tag using the width and height of your
code snippet:
<iframe height="250" width="505" src="information.html"></iframe>
There are other attributes for formatting the iframe that can be added
to the tag which you can find here:
http://htmlhelp.com/reference/html40/special/iframe.html
Just play around with them until you get a frame that looks the way you
want it to.
