This is not a forum for asking HTML/CSS/Javascript questions. There is a  
reason its called “ruby-talk”.

When someone politely reminds you that you are posting off-topic,  
please listen to them.  
This is not even the best place for questions about Rails, let alone  
the best place for general HTML tips.
