    Can you be specific about what is not working for you?

    Your csscarousel.css is not uploaded for starters...

    There are a lot of other errors on the site. You'll need to fix them first, they could be the culprit, but it's hard to say how a browser is going to act with errors in the HTML and CSS.

     

    Run the site through these and clear out any errors first...

     

    http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/

    http://validator.w3.org/

     

    The csscarousel.css is still not coming up correctly. I'm guessing there is an error there too.

    when i put in the carousel it reads 0 errors found

    I'm guessing this is just uploaded to the wrong spot. According to your site, a file named "csscarousel.css" should be in a folder called "css" that is on the same level as your index page. It should be at "http://genpackaging.com/css/csscarousel.css" however, according to your server, it isn't there a 404 error comes up instead.

     

    Some validation of CSS will show -moz-"whatever" is an error because it's not "technically" part of CSS3. Those are fine.

     

    As for using the HTML validator, you should only have to paste in the web address. It then lists all of the issues with an explanation and the line that they show up on in your code. Here is the link with your site added, there are 66 errors (most of which will be fixed after the first couple are taken care of):

     

    http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=genpackaging.com&charset=%28detect+a utomatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0

    Ah, your server is case sensitive.

     

    The link in your page to the csscarousel.css file needs to be changed from

     

    css/csscarousel.css

     

    to

     

    CSS/csscarousel.css

     

    Check all of your other links to ensure they all have the proper capitalization. If you have something linking to the "SpryAssets" folder, but you have it set as "spryassets" in the link, it won't read it due to your server settings.

    Ok thank you very much its working like it's supposed to now! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

     

    it's always the smallest problems...very annoying.

     

    I hear you. You may want to talk to your server admin and see if something can't be done about that. Right now, if someone had their caps lock turned on while trying to type in a URL on your site, it would not come up.

     

    GENPACKAGING.COM/STORE.HTML doesn't exist right now (404 error), but genpackaging.com/store.html does
