HTML - Best Book On Web Design?

Hey, this is my first post here in a while and I'm a little rusty on my HTML and CSS, so...

I wanted to make a website showcasing a book I am writing. I want it to be interactive, with music playing on different pages and sounds that can plat when certain words are hovered over. I don't want to use flash and want to use minimal Javascript/PHP (none if possible)
I won't mind using a service like Scribd, if it allows that kind of customization...

I don't need anything fancy, like page turning animations, just the text to appear when the next page is clicked (though it would be nice to keep the user on the same page and the page turn just loads new text...)

Is this possible? Are there resources you can point me to? Are there any services that already offer this?

Thanks in advance!

Anyone know of an inexpensive and SEO friendly way to display book pages in an online html reader? I am developing a bookstore website where people can read the entire book online before buying, and the option of using an online flash-based PDF reader doesn't work for SEO. In the html format, the books would have to be displayed page by page so people couldn't steal and distribute the entire book easily. Is the only way to do this by programming every page or is there a program, script or compiler that is good for SEO and will do the job cheaply? There are many online libraries that have hundreds of thousands of pages readable online, so how do they do it cheaply? Thanks.

Hello!

I would like to learn HTML for work and was wondering if anyone could recommend a DVD Tutorial Program (preferably) or a book for someone who knows nothing about HTML.

Thank you!

I know HTML pretty good and I can get by w/ CSS - but what else should I know for web design?

Hi there

Sorry, i don't know if this is the correct section of the forum to put this in.

What I really want to know is, how do you get webpages to look like this:

http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/lov...ign-mpt=uo%3D2

Can this be done using HTML and CSS alone?

I'm only referring to the design part of it, not what the page is able to do. Like play songs for example.

Thanks

Hello,

I've been working on the design for this website - http://www.keison.co.uk/test/ .

The side menus are in javascript, which I realise is not a generally good thing, as this website's search engine rankings are important.

However, my way to combat this is to use the text links at the bottom of the page (specifically the Product Index) to list the other pages on the website, so that technically every single page can be indexed via standard text links.

My question is by doing the above, will this have any adverse effect on search engine rankings?

Any help is appreciated.

Can any one help me how to design web for mobile. I design a web by Frontpage, look beautiful in PC but can not read in mobile. Thanks in advance

Bottom image pulls up nicely on FF and Safari. However there is a thin line that breaks the 2 background images.

Try on IE9

My website is split up into 4 parts. The top banner, the left menu, the right menu, and the center part. My left menu is floating left and my right menu is floating right. I want to add content in the center but when I do, the side menus are moved downwards. I tried floating the center but it pushed it past the left menu. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If for user to use the web browser to open the text file in local drive, read the text file contents and plot the line graph base on the data in the text file, what is the most suitable design to use ?
first i think of use the php to read the dynamic data , but php request to install the appserver, too complicate for user.
if i use purely html, with some plug in like flash, is it possible to read the dynamic data in the text file and plot to the flash ?

please advice me, many thanks.

I got into this about 5/6 years ago when I had to design a basic site for school so taught myself some CSS, we were using dreamweaver.

I've been wanting to get back into it recently and was just wondering best way to do this? I was thinking about experimenting with maybe wordpress or another CMS.

I'd like to get back into a bit of photoshop or fireworks as well not sure where I'll find the time but eventually maybe.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
