HTML - Is W3schools.com A Good Place To Learn Html?

Hi, I'm new at using html and I need help with placing text. I would like to place my text 12.5% across the screen from the left. Is there a way to do this or must I use the pixel way. Can you show me how

Kindly let me know if I can get professional templates which can be amended according to one's needs.

REally, I don't have that much time to be an expert at HTML or CSS - but was wondering what CMS' are quick to learn that has a lot of templates. I know WordPress is one - just wondering if there are anymore...I'm sure there is.

Hello..Just to describe my situation to you.
I am new and don't know how to create webistes, and I have no shame in that. I am fairly familiar with computers as I spend about 4 hours a day on computer. I have always wanted to know how to create webistes and create one of my won. I don't want to use geocities or freewebs, since that's not creating websites..there's no skill in that..I want to learn the hardcore html. I am sure it's not hard once u get the hang of it but I have no clue.

What I am asking of you pros on this site is:
1) suggest a good html creating software..somthing easy to understand and use for a beginner.
2) suggest some websites which give free megabites for you to start your site. Somthing I can practice html on.
3) If yuo are going to use html terminology..plz explain

Thank You..Any help would be greatly appreciated..doesn't have to be much

P.S. I know how to use utorrent well..so any program you suggest to me won't be a problem to find for me.
TY

I m wondering which hmtl editors everyone here prefers. I have downloaded HTML-Kit & Page Breeze but I am not the sharpest tool & I end up getting frustrated as I need a more user friendly editor. Something for the ADHD adult I really won't be using advanced things like media for now, only basic HTML & CSS. What I am trying to accomplish is to get a website done without media or movable images.

Also, someone told me that there are some editors which come with ready made commands, for e.g maybe such as creating a table by just clicking anywhere. Of course, I will have to specify other things.

Are there any editors which automate a lot of your work & save time?

Thanks a lot.

Howdy everyone!

I'm a noob here and I'm at my wits end. The real problem here is that I know just enough to get myself into trouble, but no concept on how to dig myself out of it. The website I'm working on is he

http://www.psychological-warfare.com

My problem is that it looks OK in Explorer, but looks like a trainwreck in Firefox. It was designed by retrofitting a template I bought years ago, so it's like trying to decipher the amatuer translation of a Russian mad scientist's codex. I apologize in advance.

I've been moving DIV's back and forth for days and Explorer doesn't seem to care. Things just keep getting worse and worse in Firefox.

I think the main issue is that I have a left column and then the header that spans the middle and right columns. I can see how Firefox might hate that...

The next problem (and I'm hoping someone might have an idea on this): I used a modern header calling this whole mess XHTML. I know exactly squat about the differences between HTML and XHTML except that XHTML loves to have everything "/>"ed.

Would all of this work if the header called it transitional HTML and give myself a little leeway? What code should be at the top of my page?

Thanks everyone for the help. I wish I could buy everyone a beer!

Does anybody here have any examples of websites constructed ONLY using HTML/CSS?

I would like to look at the source code and the files, and see how it's been made.

Can anyone recommend a good tutorial site for learning HTML? I'm just starting out. Free is good, but I know you get what you pay for, so if the tutorials are good, I wouldn't mind paying for something of good quality. I don't want to get in over my head too soon and get discouraged. I'd really like to find some video tutorials.

Thanks.

Hi all! I'm new to this forum. I'm not very tech savvy so this is probably why I'm about to lose my mind trying to figure out the solution to my problem....

I would like a good software program where I can create templates in html format so that I can email for marketing purposes. I've tried a few online services and their limitations have me beating my head against the wall. I don't know html code. And I don't need to build a website. And I don't want to spend an outrageous amount of money. But I do want to create a template that will get to someones inbox, not junk mail, and arrive without attachments. I need the software to be user friendly & have an easy interface where I can easily edit using a visual editing tool. Does that exist?

Any advice would be very much appreciated

Hey, i have an idea regarding html templates and im not sure whether its a bad way to use html or good idea, my idea is that you make or download a template and set it as your background, then you just add the content over the boxes and stuff where it needs to go. also if thats bad html then how do you set out a template with all the content not messing up the page. all opinions greatly appreciated.

Problem: When ever i place the image the menu messes up.

Please look at the first picture below to see the problem

Now look at the second picture below to see how i want it to be



source code:



<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>

<img src="Home.jpg" width="190" height="30"><br/>
<img src="Downloads.jpg" width="190" height="30"><br/>

I've made a lot of progress on my website:
Bands 4 Babes

but I'm still struggling with getting everything to look the same on all the different browsers.

Basically what I'm finding is:
Chrome and Safari (PC) - Displays exactly as I want it to
Firefox 3.5.2 (PC) - Displays properly except for the Home link in the purple bar is a few PX too far left and the --- above home is a line too high
Firefox and Safari on Mac - FF exhibit the same problem as above, but most fonts (sizes and faces) are off on the mac versions. This also throws off alignments of other stuff.
IE8 - Two solid lines on top and bottom of page are a few pixels too low which ruins the continuity of the box frame I created.

If somebody could take a look at my code and give me some thoughts on what the problem is I would really appreciate it.

Thanks.

I have a website where I want to make a drop down menu that will bring you to different pages. It is a very basic, sort of old-fashioned website that relies entirely on html. What I'm trying to do is make a drop-down menu that will be used as navigation for a section of a website and I want to have it in each internally linked page in that section, but I'm going to be adding more pages to it over time so I want to be able to put the drop-down menu code in a separate text file and then substitute it into the pages that I make that the options in the menu link to and then just edit the code in the text file when I add another page so that I don't have to go back and edit the code every single individual page whenever I add a new one among them.

Basically all I'm asking is how I can put html code in a text file and then substitute that code into an html page by referring to the file. Thanks in advance for any help.
