I've struck this problem on occasion myself. I believe it's usually some conflict with a browser extension you may have installed. Try restarting the browser in "safe" mode or similar where the extensions are disabled temporarily and you should find the Captcha working OK. Alternatively, try loading the web page in a "New Incognito Window" (Chrome) or "New Private Window" (Firefox) and see if the Captcha works then.Desktop PC: Intel Core-i5-4670 3.40Ghz, 16Gb Crucial ram, Asus H97-Plus MB, 128Gb Crucial SSD + 2Tb Seagate Barracuda 7200.14 HDD running Kubuntu 18.04 LTS and Kubuntu 14.04 LTS (on SSD).

Whatthefunk,
Yes, my first goal is to learn html and css so I can post articles on a third pary website with drawings.
Secondly, to make a simple website for showing displays of postage stamps, envelopes, postal stationery, and old photos.
Thanks for the template. I will play around with this as you say - swamped with work will the weekend!

Private Window dodge didn't work in FF. Don't have Chrome. Will move on. Thanks for suggestion.Last edited by JoHubb; Sep 13, 2018, 12:53 AM.Comment

Can anyone put me right on this? I've experimented in W3Schools and elsewhere.
I cannot find a way of keeping Scene 1 and Miss Muffin on the same line, and with different colours.
I want it to read like this:
Four Foolish MaidensScene 1. Miss Muffin.
These four were absolutely stupid. They forgot to bring oil for their lamps. Imagine the confusion.

Thanks in advance!Code:<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <meta charset="UTF-8"> <title>Title of the document</title> <body> <h3><strong>Four Foolish Maidens</strong></h3> <p><strong>Scene 1.</strong></p> <p style="color:Crimson;"><strong>Miss Muffin.</strong> <p style="color:black;"> These four were absolutely stupid. They forgot to bring oil for their lamps.</p> <img src="/home/pictures/congo.jpg" alt="Congo" width="436" height="346"> </body> </html>

<p> tags are block tags meaning that they will automatically be on their own line. Use a span:
Span tags are inline and will not force a new line.Code:<p> <strong>Scene 1.</strong> <span style="color:Crimson;"><strong>Miss Muffin.</strong></span> </p>

So easy when you know how! Thanks again!
I've worked my way through a lot of the W3schools stuff. It is a great learning tool - but it's not mentioned 'span' yet...Comment

So there is a place to lookup specific things within w3.org https://www.w3.org/. On the left side under Dev Resources, is the W3C Cheat sheet. You can type specific keywords, such as "span", to get the definition and maybe some clarity. As for lessons, it'll probably show eventually, but you may need to search more deeply. The W3C will focus, primarily, on what is in the standard (which includes "span"), and much less on what are in product-specific extensions to the standard.The next brick house on the left

I'd recommend w3schools to anyone starting off. There is a lot below the surface as I found when searching 'span'.
Because my eyes get sore staring at a screen I also bought a book by Jon Duckett, HTML & CSS, pub Wiley. It is a very well produced excellent working manual - simple, step by step examples with HTML first, then CSS. He emphasises the importance of using CSS going forward.Last edited by JoHubb; Oct 04, 2018, 10:22 AM.Comment

Learning HTML, CSS, javascript and the rest is FUN!

Yes, CSS is really the key. HTML will only get your content on the page in a structured way. If you want it to look nice, you need CSS. If you want it to do cool stuff, you need JavaScript and some backend language.Originally posted by JoHubb View PostComment
