HTML - Old-fashioned Webmistress + Wysiwyg Editors + Div Creation = ???
Hello. =)
I was wondering: is there an HTML editor that can create this layout (and other similar layouts) in WYSIWYG format, and by using DIVs?: I'm a complete beginner with HTML editors, but I'm intermediate with actual HTML code. For several years, I've been creating webpages by hand, WITHOUT using an HTML editor. That means I use my prior knowledge, type the code into NotePad, and then physically open/check/edit/refresh my pages as I go. Since I know a lot of code (and my typing speed is 65 words per minute), I always figured this method was faster (and less frustrating) than using an editor and going to File -> Edit -> Insert -> Table -> 4 Rows, 3 Columns. However, building pages by hand has a lot of negatives: I can't easily detect mistakes/typos; it gets very tiring; etc. So I really NEED to learn how to use HTML editors, and I want to start with something basic. When I say "basic", I want something that will allow me to create DIVs, iFrames, etc. -- in WYSIWYG format. I've used the following free HTML editors, and none of them let me make DIVs in WYSIWYG format : CoffeeCup HTML Editor Kompozer PageBreeze Microsoft FrontPage 2003 Amaya NotePad++ (as a side note, this program has so many options, I got confused/frustrated) I've been using tables to make my layouts for years, but I heard that's "incorrect" so I'm starting to use DIVs now. But, I'm still new to DIVs -- which means they really confuse me and I HATE THEM (? - why are there are SO MANY "float:" and "position:" rules?!! And unlike tables, DIVs don't automatically match the width of the text inside them! By default, DIVs stretch and fit the entire page width! AND, DIVs aren't any smaller than tables!!!). Anyway, since I'm new to DIVs, that means if I manually create them, chances are I'll get it wrong...so I have to keep checking/editing/refreshing the pages. Which is why I need a WYSIWYG DIV creator; it'd be great if I could draw a rectangle and the editor understands that, "Okay, this 'rectangle' is a DIV and she wants it in EXACTLY this spot". Most of the editors I listed above are free and/or so basic that I can't even add DIVs. All I can do is make a boring, one-color, one link class page. And I never saw "Insert: DIV" option anywhere, which means I'd have to type the <div> tags myself. And that's not saving me any time. So, that's my dilemma. I REALLY need to start using HTML editors, preferably one that's free, WYSIWYG, lets me "draw" DIVs, and allows me to switch between Visual Mode and HTML Mode (so I can see exactly how they made the DIVs). If anyone has suggestions or advice, please let me know! (By the way: you CAN mention programs that aren't free. Although I'm broke, I'll write them down until I can afford to buy them!) Thanks in advance! Similar TutorialsI'm using WYSIWYG, please look at my webpage he http://www.nwvisuals.com/ You'll notice that the text below the images gets all over the place if you (A) Have resolution that is not 1024x768 (B) Not in full-screen mode Which is really really bad for me. Should I fix it with basic HTML'ing? Is this the downfall of WYSIWYG editors? Hello. will someone offer some good HTML text editor? (Like Kate) but for windows? Thank you Hi all, I'm looking for a powerful but user-friendly text editor for HTML. One feature I especially need is the ability to use wildcards in both the search and replace strings. Any advice or recommendations? Thank you. Lance I have never used anything like this before, but is there a way to have a simple html tag set in a page to allow my client to simply type in nothing but text into a text file or box, then upload it via the file manager, and then it is displayed on the site? I guess it is borderline a Blog, but I do not wish it to be. Ideally, my client can just save a txt file and name it "update1" "update 2" etc. and they just keep stacking on each other. Im not sure if I can post the website address here and I hope admin will just erase the site name and not this whole thread. It is www.theoutdoorguys.net and you will see how the home page has updates that are very simple textual updates, yet, I have to be around every Saturday to update them. Seems like if I can have my client type into something and it posts on its own it would be ideal! thank you for any help you can give me. Jason I'm using WYSIWYG Editor by openwebware, and really, I think it's sort of dumb. I'm using it to replace the text editor but it's not working, well it works - but it doesn't submit data. I looked through the code and I saw it was only hiding the textarea id, and adding the WYSIWYG Editor where there is a hidden one, but as I stated above, it's not submitting data. Is there any fix for this? I have no access to source files. Hi Folks, Back in the day (circa 1995), I learned HTML by looking at the source code of some pages and then doing my own thing with the code I saw. This was OK just for simple pages, but that's was all I really wanted or needed. Then came family commitments, job changes etc., and I sort of left HTML behind. Now in my forties, I cycle a lot and want to do a webpage for my travels, with some photographs etc. I tried RapidWeaver, and it does produce some nice results. However, it's still someone else's template, and besides, any more than six pages on my site and it continuously crashes. Saving the document takes about twenty minutes each time, and so I postpone saving it until I've done say, two or three pages. Then it crashes, so I have to redo those pages... Not ideal. So I scouted around and found Flux 3.0. I have to say, it's an impressive bit of kit, but because I stopped using HTML a while back, there are loads of things there that I don't know: CSS and div to name but two. I think the only option for me is to learn (or "relearn") HTML, but all of the sites I've found from my google searches so far, are either for complete beginners, or else for people whose knowledge far exceeds mine. And a google search for 'Flux tutorial' isn't much help, either. Could someone please point me in the direction of an 'intermediate' tutorial, or else one that will help me to hone and update my skills to the point where I can hand code the entire site myself? Many thanks. I have a wysiwyg text editor on my site and I want users to be able to copy-n-paste clip art from their ms word docs into it and have it display on the web. Is there anyway to do that? Has anyone else had any problems when using notepad to edit code created with an WYSIWYG editor such as Frontpage or Dreamweaver? In particular, making links, that are correctly coded, work? Something even odder, is that this problem only occurs on the index.html page. If I rename that page the links work just fine. I have asked this same question in other forums and no one seems to have a clue. Has anyone else encountered this or have any thoughts? Not having a huge amount of HTML experience, I wondered if anyone would be able to give me a hand. What I'm trying to create is a form that uses the GET input data as part of a predetermined url, so it would take you to "http://desiredsite.com/[INPUT TEXT]". I don't need the site to change at any point, just the specific directory. I would prefer to approach this in plain old html but I guess a script may be necessary. In case it is relevant, the page I am making is staying local so there is no cgi or anything presently available. I would be greatly appreciative of any help. Thanks! hy allz!i really need a forum for an website not a comercial just a dumb school project and i don't know how to create one can someone give me a forum pls???a simple pls pls sorry if this has been answered.. its late at night and have been scouring the net/chat sites for some answer to this issue but alas i yield no results... im working on a clan website where we want to create a text area form which is simple enough.. but its what i want to do with it that im having a little trouble.. were running joomla 1.5 and im pretty much self taught on design so as far as jargin trying to word how i want it is prolly my downfall.. anyway.. like i said we want a text area but im thinking individual fields would work better but upon submission is it possible to send the information to an html document on my webserver that i can use a wrapper to call up.. but i want the data displayed in a list format.. what sites or possibly just some functions that i can use/look up to make the data posted in list format.. but also i want it to be called up in .. for the sake of permissions lets say an author to view the person applying and either allow or deny using a menu option on their user menu.. but basically i need the form output to go to a page on the front end so the person applying can see that theyve been entered and check on their status with ease. thanks in advance I know it takes a long time to create such a thing but I was not told about the fact I had to create a forum until now. I have 2 or 3 weeks to create a forum for an economical awareness group at my school. I am the only one with any HTML experience but I have never created a forum. If someone could help me I will love them forever. An outline, guidelines, or tutorials would be awesome. If you want you can also e-mail me with information.(crazedpandabear@gmail.com) Thank you greatly for any help anyone gives. ^^ i'm new to the world of html and need a little help on something. i create emails for companies to communicate w/their clients that mainly consist of a colored background w/ colored text/fonts. the initial problem was getting the colors to be displayed at the receiving addresses. but i learned how to increase the table and managed to have the chosen background color to display. this is the code for that: <table border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 width="98%" bgColor=#54726d> <tbody> <tr> <td> the problem i'm still having is getting the text color to display. as of now it shows as black. the font displays, but not the color. this is important, as i usually use a dark background w/light colored text. if the text is black it is hard to read. and i'd also like to know what in the above code made the background display at all. before the above code was added the bgcolor was in the 'body style' section of the code and did not show in the receiving addresses. i am curious about this, as i receive many emails w/colors and borders. (my test receiving email addresses are gmail, hotmail, and excite) thanks! rich Hello friends, As a Newbie.. I got a live project and im bowled in a part Attached is the target/goal image Need to be done in html/css format Attached is my work. can anyone help me in creating tabbed pane like in screen shot image? regards I'm a HTML beginner, though i've done some simple stuff with Perl/CGI. I know i'm missing some very basic knowledge with this question. I'd like to let a user create a mailing list (though this seems like a class of problem that would apply to a lot of situations). The HTML should show the current mailing list, or the recipient that was filled in by a different form. It should have blank text field to enter a new address, and something like a Add-Address button to trigger the addition to the potentially much longer mailing list string. It should hopefully show the results immediately after hitting the button. (And maybe checking for validity.) Is this sort of thing possible with basic HTML, is it more of a Javascript problem, or is it fairly alien to any HTTP/HTML situation. Am i forced to something with an ugly full-page refresh afterwards? (And how ugly would that be?) Thanks! P.S. -- NOT a spammer! I am working on a web page that is a mess. I am thinking about redoing the whole entire page... Originally I was going to create the page in PHP but it seems to be a bit of overkill for this project.. Ive decided to just use html... does anyone have any tips or good tools I could use to start this project? For example... something that will create a simple style sheet for me / CSS grid builders? I am super rusty with html and I realize no one uses templates anymore... Im used to having pages automated for me (joomla) so creating a topnav and leftnav seems more difficult for me now... any advice would be great.. tutorials..open source , etc Thank you in advance ! Melanie Hi, I am a beginner in HTML. I would like to create an HTML email form with following specification: - Design a small page like an email form. the contents of From are, a dropdown list of recepients, Subject, message body also. Sending email should be self (outlook should not be used) - When user press submit, it should go to the designated recepient as html. the content should appear in the recepient's computer like an HTML news letter. What should i do to achieve this? Please provide me some step-by-step procedure. Please remember, I dont want to use ASP for this. I appreciate all of yours help. Hello. I am trying to create a page or form and I am not sure how to proceed. What I want to create is a webpage that has a list of several different things to choose from each with it's own check box. When the user selects what they want by checking the check boxes and hitting submit, a new page is created with just the selections they made. THe user can then print this page and use it as a worksheet. There is no reporting or databasing of the information. The final output is a hard copy print out. I started to play with some things that used <forms> for the selections page and this looked close to what I wanted. But for the submit part i was using .asp and this did not seem to work for me. I am not an experienced html person so I was wondering it there was another way to go for this. Maybe point me in a new direction. Hopefully something not too complicated. Thanks in advance for any help! does anyone know how to put a password into a page so that you or a selected person can access it? something like username: password: and a creation page so that you can make your own usernames and passwords... i'd use phpBB but I don't understand how to use it... cause it's blank xD oh and if it makes any difference... i use macromedia dreamweaver 2004 edition as my HTML... ect. edditor |
