HTML - Basic Formatting Question
Hi,
In microsoft word you can make the text go all the way across the page so that the beginning of each line and end of each line are inline with the one above and below, if you know what I mean. I can't remember what it is called. But it basically adds small amounts of space between each letter so it goes all the way across. How is this done in HTML/CSS if it can be done? Thank you as always, Ash Similar TutorialsHello, First post here. I have a quick question regarding the default manner in which Firefox handles different <h> tags. In an html page if I have the following code... Code: Some Text <h3>Headlines!</h3> More Text In Internet Explorer it renders how I want it to like this... --------------------------------- Some Text HEADLINES! More Text --------------------------------- But in Firefox it throws in a hard return before and after the <h3> as such... --------------------------------- Some Text HEADLINES! More Text --------------------------------- I know I need to define an additional property in my h3 class but I am honestly not sure what that would be! Any help is appreciated. I normally work in Flash which is much more intuitive for me. I am making and effort to design more in HTML. Here is the most basic of questions.. When doing designs in Photoshop or Illustrator, what is the best way to save slices. Gif or Jpeg. Are there tutorials or personal comment on the forum about the best practice for slicing sites. Thanks! edit: Problem solved, how do I delete this thread? hi, I'd like to say that I'm extremely new to xhtml and CSS, so please bare with me. My question is simple, consider I have this code HTML Code: <table class="mainTable" border="0" cellspacing="30">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>
<p><b><a class="button" href="l1.html"
target="_blank">Link1</a></b></p>
</td>
<td>
<p><b><a class="button" href="l2.html"
target="_blank">Link2</a></b></p>
</td>
<td>
<p><b><a class="button"
href="l3.html" target="_blank">Link 3</a></b></p>
</td>
<td>
<p><b><a class="button"
href="l4.html" target="_blank">Link 4</a></b></p>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
1) what does target="_blank" mean? 2) My intention is to place this table in the upper center of the screen. How can I center the table ? 3) The height on each cell in this table is huge, how can I decrease the height of the cells? Thanks I am in the process of writing a spell-checker in PHP, but repeatedly stumble due to my less than perfect knowledge of HTML basics. (1) What's the most straightforward way to open a second page on top of the currently active one? Is it via JavaScript, or can it be done using HTML itself? (2) If I need to update a text area on the original page at the time I close the overlying one, is this again best done by JavaScript? My aim in both of the above is to avoid adding any code to the underlying page, other than the addition of a "SpellCheck" button and the coding associated with that. Many thanks for any pointers. Hi guys, I am trying to help my friend figure out what is going on with his (VERY BASIC) website. I believe that he created it using dreamweaver originally, and then tampered with the code a little. The problem is as follows: The website seems to display perfectly as intended on mac ( safari) however when viewed on PC wit internet explorer the frames do not not work properly, They are opening in different windows etc. I know that no-on ould ever recommend building a site like this with frames, but would recommend iframes etc, however i ws wondering if there is a flaw in the code that can be fixed to resolve his problem simply? Thanks for even taking the time to read this, any helpful advice would be most appreciated! the code is as follows: The code titled "main" the main piece of code, then the coodes titled "top", "middle" and "bottom" are the codes for the respective frames.

Hi, I am creating a one page site that uses an iframe to display the other pages. So I create an index.html with an iframe in it and drawing an initial 'page': <iframe src="pages/welcome.php" name="carter-fairfax" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" width="900px" height="910px"></iframe> I then create another 'page' on the site and link to it using the following: <li><a href="pages/who-we-are.php" target="carter-fairfax" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" width="900px" height="500px">who we are</a></li> Everything displays fine except that there is a good deal of white space at the bottom, obviously because there is a difference in the height of the iframe - is there an elegant way to get round this problem. I do have the containing div height set to auto. Many thanks, Keith Hulse Hi! This is my first post here. I am a part time web designer, (I must admit, better with the graphics than the coding). I am designing a page and I want the background to be black for say 1000 pixels down, and then white after that. How do I accomplish this? Does anyone know an easy way to create backgrounds with several tones? Thanks... Cosmos I want to create a two column table that, in one of the rows, has a large picture in the second column. I wanted to "wrap" the picture in a <div> and give the div scroll bars so the user can scroll horizontally and vertically to see the entire picture, but still keep the width of the table as the same size as the width of the browser window. The div part seems to work fine. The large picture appears in the smaller div and the div has the scroll bars that I want. But, the table is still sized to contain the ENTIRE width of the photo, so the other rows in the table go off the edge of the browser window (because the image is wider than the browser window). Is there a way that I can limit the table width to only be the width of the browser, and have a large photo contained in a scrolling div, within one of the table rows. I will include some basic HTML code to demonstrate the problem. Just insert a path to some large image you might have, for testing, into the image tag's src property. (the image I am using is 1600x1200) Thanks, in advance, for any help you can provide.

I guess this question is really basic to the expert html ers but just need a bit of help. I want to add some text say i got a <p> tag and want to write just a sentance such as .. <p>I am learning html, it uses tags like this <a,b> which can load images etc. </p> of course a,b isnt a tag, but if i load this basic text in a web browser it would ignore the <a,b> and come up as validation error in the validator. So pretty much is there a way around of displaying <any letters or words> without the browser thinking its some sort of tag? thanks for the help! Im designing a new site and I was kind of wondering a few things that I was hoping to get some answers to. I wasnt sure where this should be posted so if its in the wrong spot please accept my appology. So I do know I want to do alot of css and make it look very professional. 1) I remember at one time that you should make the site big enough to accomidate an 800x600 resolution. But considering that 1024x768 and bigger is pretty common place should I be scaling up to that or still stay at 800x600? Can someone please help me? How do I move the entire image up on following index page: www.AndyG.com Note that there is a one inch gap between top of computer screen and top of image...I just want to move image way up to top... Thanks a lot! Andy Hey there just starting to make a new site, and just kinda slowly making pages and trying to get the formatting and looks down first. anyways here is my site: http://uberwalla.com and you may notice depending on the resolution the footer is not at the very bottom its kinda floating high with a gray bottom under it. I am just wondering how i can make it so that no matter what resolution and no matter what browser, that it'll automatically make the footer the very bottom (touching the status bar or past it have to scroll down) no matter the size of the page. thanks in advance, uberwalla Hi everyone.. I;ve just launch my new webiste but IE seems to have messed up some of the formatting. Is there an eastyfix/tool to remedy this? All other browsers see fine. I have tested in Browsershots... Thanks Greetings All, Some background: I'm as green as grass when it comes to html and website design, but that still did not stop me from buying a small website (business) from a desginer on ebay. It did well with some advertising, but recently I have had to change my payment processor because paypal froze my account for something that they have yet to explain to me (apparantly this is common with paypal) In any event, I managed to add the new payment processor to my website, but in the process of doing so, I did something to this page that made it larger and the pics are not in allignment any longer. There are gaps and it looks just plain ugly and unprofessional See for yourself: 1. The website as it should be: http://get-your-ride.com 2. The malfunctioning page: http://get-your-ride.com/join.html Can anyone walk me through on how to fix this? Is there a magic button to push? Or would you prefer I copy and paste the script for your expert eyes,since at this time html is more or less mumbo jumbo to me. Hi there, HTML noob here trying to edit existing pages in our student information system. I've added a number of elements in the immunization row, however I can't seem to figure out how to line up the Compliant? and Exempt? rows with the above immunizatiion rows. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks, John Hi, I made a webpage using dreamweaver 8. When i preview the page in firefox it has not problems in design layout of the page but when i view it in IE it breaks the design format and is messed up. Can anyone guide me as to why it would do it and how i can fix it? Also, when i try to display some text in Chinese, it shows random characters. I changed the fonts in internet options to display Chinese but it didn't work. I have viewed Chinese websites and they i didn't have any problem in seeing the text. Any reason or suggestion as to why it would do this? I would really appreciate any help on this, Thanks, Hello, Here is the site I am having difficulty with. http://mysite.verizon.net/ekafrawy/Modern/index.html If you view this page in FF, the formatting is fine, but when you view it in IE, the spacing on the left nav bar is not right. Anyone have some tips on how to correct this? Thanks, Eric |
