HTML - Help With Div Tags
i have a problem about using div tags in general and positioning layers on a page. i'm a beginner so forgive my way of asking but i would appreciate any help i could get in understanding it.
Similar Tutorialsi'm looking for a cheap way out of making collapse/expand code. i've learned a lot of 'ghetto' techniques n thought mayb i can use something similar to the html tricks i've learned in the past. the theory i have is.. i use the title of the collapse/expand text as a link to the text below it to open and close by using the navigating tags: Code: <a name="content">opening/closing text here</a> and the title above the content: Code: <a href="#content">Title</a> to open the area of text. now my idea of a shortcut around the whole css/html/javacript combo is to make the text below it use a Code: <font size=0>content</font> at default and have the href title link change the font size to the default 9pt but I don't know if that's even possible. Is it possible with the Code: <div> tags? and if so, using that, would i still b able to make a link like that? Is it possible to trigger the action of a form with a submit button that's outside the form tags? If so, how should this example be rescripted to make the input tag work outside the form tags? [/code] <html> <body> <form name="input" action="html_form_action.asp" method="get"> First name: <input type="text" name="FirstName" value="Mickey" /><br /> Last name: <input type="text" name="LastName" value="Mouse" /><br /> <input type="submit" value="Submit" /> </form> </body> </html> [/code] Should be something simple to figure out, I know... but I'm having some trouble with the div tags in a section of my site. What I'm trying to do is place a few images side by side, 160 pixels from the top and center alignment. It places the images 160px from top but not in the center... This is the code I'm using: <div style=" top: 160; position: absolute; z-index: 1; visibility: show; align: center; "> Why won't it work??? I was doing reading and practicing at the w3 site and came along the <pre>/</pre> tag section. I find it easier using these tags instead of the <p>/<p> tags as you don't have to insert <br> tags everytime you want to start a new sentence within your paragraph. Does it really matter as far as coding goes if you use this or is it just considered not proper coding techiques? Note: Also,i added a paragraph at the very end of my test page just using the <pre>/</pre> tags and the "Style/Type Attributes" did not apply to it.Why is this? Kindly, Texan Hi I'm currenty learning how to use div tags I was wondering if anyone had any resources on the attributes of the div tag, havent came across anything that relates to the code i am currently working on. HTML Code: <div style = "z-index:2;left:40px;top:100px;position:absolute;color:red;text:white;font-size:30pt;border:groove"> <p> Division 1 </p> </div> <div style = "z-index:2;left:00px;top:250px;position:absolute;color:red;text:white;font-size:30pt;border:groove"> </div> Does div tags generally just handle borders or can u fill a division with colour as in make a rectangle or whatever? Heres some code i have been presented by my lecturer, I can read the attributes well i think but if someone could explain it i would be greatfull just to check my understanding Thanks CW hi my name is salil. m working on a website completely in .jsp all the links are called in div containers. so just wanted to ask if is it possible to use the back button of the browser in that case... if yes how can we use it? currently when i click on the back button of the browser then i go to the previous visited site. thanking all of you for your feedbacks. salil First post on here, but I'm not really new to HTML. I just have a problem with the placing of a picture on a page. My website is www.fcumania.co.uk, which was created mainly with the use of a website designer - though these days I just edit it through Notepad. I have a problem whereby I need to add a small picture in the box where the crude "Hi-Resolution pictures" form is located. I can't seem to be able to edit the code, and the div tags in order to do this. I know it has something to do with the CSS, and so presuming you can view the source code on the main site, the CSS files are located he www.fcumania.co.uk/index_p.css www.fcumania.co.uk/index_g.css I'm sure all of you on here will be able to resolve this, and TIA if you can. Alastair. Who can HELP ME with divs Hi all, I'm working on a wordpress site with nextgen plugin (not really important) My problem is this: Let's say i have this structu HTML Code: <p> <a href=""> <img src="" /> </a> </p> Now if my img is 100px height, the <p> still stays 0px, and i think that's because of the <a> tag. But the <p> has to adjust its height to whatever height the <img> is. How can i achieve this? I hope you understand what i mean here Thanks already. hello, I have a html file that contains many lines. I want add a tag in every line so that I can display them with different color. How to do it? Thanks Hello there, I need some help with my DIV tag as it isnt doing what I tell it to do. Heres a screenshot of it: And here is the CSS code: Code: body{ background-image: url(img/bg.gif); font-family: verdana, arial; font-size: 12px; color: black; } #content{ height: 100%; width: 750px; background-color: #afafaf; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; border: medium; border-color: red; border-style: solid; padding-left: 5px; padding-top: 5px; } #copyright{ height: 20px; width: 740px; background-color: #9f9f9f; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-left: 5px; padding-bottom: 15px; border: medium; border-color: black; border-style: solid; } Its the "copyright" one that is messing with me, as you can see the red border is there. But the small div tag wont center in the div tag. I hope you understand what I mean Which is the better way to position the div tags? Should I use float or some fixed position? I could get two columns positioned with float left and right, but what about a third column? Thanks the following looks fine in Firefox, but not IE 7 or 8 http://newsite.uscoalinc.org/operations.html The right hand column is jacked up with hyperlinks and an image is wrapped to the bottom. also, the footer is messed up compared to the home page or Investor page. the footer here : http://newsite.uscoalinc.org/index.html looks fine, but is jacked up here : http://newsite.uscoalinc.org/about.html it's the same code. literally. I have tried copying and pasting chunks of code from the "good" pages that work in IE to the ones that don't to no avail. This just baffles me. All 4 pages use the same CSS . As far as I know, they all have the same exact code. There is no server side scripting, so right click and view source if you want to help and compare anyones help is greatly appreciated. thanks Zod What exactly do the Span and Div tags do? I've read definitions on the web: "defines a block of text," etc., but I don't see any examples of what the difference is from normal text to text that is used using the span and div tags. Could someone provide any examples? Thanks, Brad The code in a script I'm using shows this code on the main page: Code: <meta name="Description" content="[var.description;htmlconv=no;]"> <meta name="Keywords" content="[var.tags;htmlconv=no;]"> Shouldn't their be a line "meta tags=" for the keywords? Or will replacing the word "Keywords", in the code above, with some keywords, do the trick? Or do I need to add keywords elsewhere? Thanks Hi, " SPRAY TAGS" I've noticed this on CS source. Does anyone what exactly it is and know how to do them? This thread at the other site hasn't helped: http://www.coffeecup.com/forums/webs...colored-lines/ Is there any code I can use that will render a color line in Internet Explorer and the other browsers? All I have working now at http://www.ColoradoProcessServers.net is the Netscape browsers. hello i dont no if i have written these meta tags correctly, because my website doesnt come up on google. Any Help?
