HTML - Learning Html/xhtml And Very Confused...
Hello,
I am learning HTML coding from a lynda.com video class and I am a little confused. The instructor keeps saying that different browsers don't support all the tags in the same way. This makes no sense to me. The whole reason that we had the desktop publishing revolution with standardized page layout and fonts (Postscript) was so that anything printed anywhere would look the same. Now, I'm learning that this is not the case with browsers. Isn't this like 2 steps forward and 1 back? I'm befuddled... Any insight into this lack of compatibility would be welcome. I mean even OpenOffice will read Word documents. Why can't we all just agree on the same standards for our browsers? Thanks for your input! ~Antonio Similar TutorialsI want to learn HTML+CSS.

Thanks ______________________ HI spurred on by watching a Douglas Rushkoff 'programme or be programmed' talk, at LAST I am trying--though its slow and painful, so be warned--and trying to learn it and am riight at the beginning which must seem real cute lol OK this here is the reason I have made an effort to join these forums. I was watching this video Learn HTML - Lesson 2 and @ o4:06 he is saying that if you add on target="_blank" to end of ahref link that this means there will be a windown opening in your window and he shows it. But it is not happening for me. It is the same as before I added it. So what am I doing wrong? Here is a smaple of my html--I better give it all so you can overlook it if you will: <html> <head><title> Programming explorations </title> </head> <body bgcolor="green"> <font color="#ffffff"><h1 align="center">The Moon in the Lake in the Meadow</h1> I was walking into these woods, and came to a house and walcked through the yard and into the kitchen and <i>through</i> the door, and onwards out when all of a <b>sudden</b> I was outside in a meadow and walking through many different coloured flowers, with the sounds of buzzing insects all round.<p>There was an old well<br>andthis onld well was<h1> very deep</h><h3>sooo deep</h3><h5>so <i>verrrry</i></h5><h7>deeeeeepppp</h7> <hr> Where am I I wondered? Will the words be the same size? because they have been changing shape and I don't<br> know<br> <h1><i>WHYYYYYYYY</i></h1> <hr> </font> <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btdGIuyQhkg&feature=watch_response"target="_blank">CHANGA</a> </body> </html> I have made bold for here the bit of html in question is php necessary for learning php? Hello people here, I playing with my own blog and i encounter many problem on HTML. So any help will be appreciated. I describe my problem below; Currently i am Using this as my Backgroud: <head> <style type="text/css"> Body{ background-image:url(http://www.mahgolwebv3.persiangig.co...runge_bg.jpg); background-attachment:fixed; background-position:left-top; background-repeat:no-repeat; background-color:#000000; margin-top:0px; Now i wanna add some emben object onto the bottom of the Background, which i got from imeem music playlist. <object width="277" height="80" ><param name="movie" value="http://media.imeem.com/m/Ot0eIFQxaG"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://media.imeem.com/m/Ot0eIFQxaG" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="277" height="80" wmode="transparent" ></embed></object> The design i want for it is the "Imeem" (Object) Can LOCKED onto the bottom of the background so Even if i scroll the Imeen Object will not move (Fixed), But i cant seem to get the code correct.. Anyone mind teach me? And another problem which i dont know how to describe, its just that my blogspot is not covering the whole page. Example : Please take a look - blitzkriez.blogspot.com This is my page, my menu (Walking Alone) Cannot appear on the right side(too much space wasted) Anyway to move it onto the most right? My menu Code: .menu{ text-align:center; font-family:Tahoma; font-size:8pt; color:#F3C6EA; width:150px; height:auto; float:right; margin-right:0px padding-left:4px; padding-top:0px; background-color:#000000; padding-right:0px } .menu a{ text-decoration:none; color:#cccccc } .menu a:hover{ border-bottom:dashed 1px #cccccc; color:#777777; cursor: crosshair } And Lastly this is my container : } .container{ position:relative; width:575px; margin-left: 19em; <body> <div class="container"> <img src="http://www.mahgolwebv3.persiangig.com/walls2/walls_grunge_topbar.gif" class="img"/><br /> <span class="blogtitle"><i>At the end of another lost highway, Signs misleading to nowhere... </i> <body> How to make my container Lock its position like background? I cant figure the code for it.. I know I'm really new to this, but I'm following a guide and I don't seem to be doing something right. Let me show you an example of some code that won't work for me.. <h1 style="color:#09C" align="center" style="border:dashed"> Hello</h1> ^This is what I'm having problems with. When I first put in the color and align, everything worked fine. Then the code stopped working when I started putting on a border, a font style, and etc... Why is it that when I start setting multiple preferences (color, size, center,etc..) , the code stops working? Thanks in advance. Oh Btw, I'm using Dreamweaver if that matters. Hi all, I have a slight problem with homework, I am supposed to edit my html file, which I did then up load t to the webspace. For some reason I can't get the logo to work and I don't know how to upload it to the webspace correctly so you'll see the work I did. I also have a index.htm file they had me to use.

Okay, basically I am computer illiterate and I need some help from you guys on my ebay auction template. Here is a link to one of my auctions. As you can see, it looks somewhat old and needs revision. I need someone to help me make a new table or whatever it is called. I want this auction to look good, look professional. I need anything, something to make it not look so boring and I have no clue where to start. This template is what I use to list all 900 of the parts I have active in ebay. From the part that says description inside the grey bar, all the way down the the part that has our store link right above the item pictures. Here is a link to the part that needs to be changed: here. Im sure its an easy process, but I am just not too sure how to change it. The guy who made it before me is no longer with us, so I am stuck. Even a finger in the right direction would be great, I have no clue on how to change the way those tables and and borderslook. I am willing to compensate anyone who can help me with this problem. All I want is a good looking auction that is both professional and stylish. I am going to include the html in a post right below this one. Thanks, Jason Hi there i would like to create a 3D list of website links, like whats in the middle of this page: http://www.tamberlow.com/ Is this possible using HTML/XHTML/JavaScript If yes, please could some1 point me in the right direction on how to go about this Thanks, jackie xxx Hi Guys, I have been creating sites for about a year and a half and was wondering what is the best doc type to use and reasons why? Which is best HTML or XHTML and also version numbers? Most sites i have done i have used XHTML 1.0 Transitional. Any feedback or comments on this is not important but thought i'd ask as i've never really thought about it before. CC_DESIGN Hey, So its another on of them questions So i want to know what would be best for me? ive never built a website and i havent learnt HMTL or XHTML or the many languages that there are. i know its going to be a long process and i am happy to learn it as i want my company to have a really good site. Thats the thing i run a production company and when someone checks out my site i want them to see how professional it is and also that they want my company to work for them!!! So what would be better to start off with? HTML or XHTML? ive read a little about both and have a little understanding. so as a novice would i need to learn HTML before i could even start to use XHTML? i read this thread and the last post says use whatever? so the question that i have is which one would be better for me and better for my site? considering i dont know any languages! http://www.htmlforums.com/html-xhtml...-10-93928.html Thanks! I read somewhere that HTML 4.00/1 has been "replaced" by XHTML (which I assume is XHTML 1.0). Is this true? Should we be switching to XHTML 1.0 ? I am a relative novice, so I'd appreciate help please - I have searched the web and other forums, but most answers are too complicated for me. When I started coding a year ago, I used a template file and just worked things out as I went. It happened to have a XHTML 1.1 DTD, but since I didn't even know what a DTD was, I didn't care. It is only recently that I discovered that (1) when I tried to validate I had numerous errors, and (2) virtually non-one uses XHTML 1.1. So now I am considering what Doctype I should use. There seem to be two opinions "out there". I checked out the source code for about 20-30 popular sites and found XHTML 1.0 was used more than twice as often as HTML 4. Many people say XHTML is the way of the future, and requires tighter code, so why not use it? The free WYSIWYG editor I use (NVU) codes in XHTML as default. However others say that some browsers don't handle XHTML well, and unless you need the extra features (and if you don't know what they are then you don't need them - my situation), then HTML 4 is still best - this seems to be the view taken in the excellent "Doctype and validation" topic on this forum. Some people go on to suggest taking a strict line on some of the optional coding rules (e.g. closing all tags) is a good practice, helps prepare you for XHTML, but is still good in HTML. So, what is the common opinion here - HTML4 for "dummies" like me? Thanks. What is the major difference between HTML / XHTML? |
