In yet another telltale HTML blunder, Caprine Designs uses the same "spacer" image (clear.gif) in the same location as Equine Web Design at the bottom of its left menu, but incorrectly references the image location to the DreamWeaver location of the dee signer's own hard drive instead of the oldtimefoxtrotters.com server. Note the image name clear.gif, width of 140 pixels, height of 1, border of 0, and image alt="" tags are exactly the same.

Such recurrences are inevitable when one cuts and pastes from another web page source.
 

Body Language

<td width="100%" valign="top" id="contentbody">
<div id="
content"><!-- content -->

<td width="81%" valign="middle" id="contentbody" bgcolor="#FFFFE1">
<div id="
content"
divcolor=#FFFFFF>

<!-- content -->

The main content area of both web sites use identical code, which, by no coincidence, follows identical code. In the Old Time Fox Trotters version, we again see the struggle to overcome style classes inherited from the cut-and-paste process employed by Caprine Designs.

Caprine Designs modifies the table width from Equine Web Design's 100% down to 81%, attempts to override the original contentbody style id written by Equine Web Design by adding on the bgcolor="#FFFFE1", and further adapts the Equine Web Design's content style id by adding divcolor=#FFFFFF in the copy used at oldtimefoxtrotters.com.

The comment <!-- content --> immediately follows the style ids of contentbody and content, just as it appeared in Equine Web Design's original template. You can credit DreamWeaver for adding the extra vertical space between HTML markup in Caprine Designs' version. It's a common problem with WYSIWYG editors.
 

Content Closure

At the end of the content area Old Time Fox Trotters again repeats Equine Web Design's code, right down the the "spacer" image named clear.gif, the exact same width of 366 pixels, and the HTML comment reading <!-- end content -->.

<br><img src="_images/clear.gif" width="366" height="1" border="0" alt="">
</div>
<!-- end content -->
</td>
</tr>
</table>

</td></tr>

<p><br>
<img src="
file:///C|/Program%20Files/Macromedia/Dreamweaver%202/
caprinedesigns/goats/clear.gif" width="366" height="1" border="0" alt="">
</p>
</div>
<!-- end content -->


</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
</td></tr>

As before, Caprine Designs incorrectly references the clear.gif image location to the DreamWeaver folder on their own hard drive instead of the oldtimefoxtrotters.com server. DreamWeaver also added a </tbody> tag prior to the closing </table> tag during the edit process.

Save for the HTML errors in Caprine Designs' DreamWeaver version, the two blocks of code mirror each other.
