HTML - Need Some Html Advice Or Suggestions
Hey guys!!
I am a newbie at the whole HTML thing so looking here for some advice from you experts! I am looking for a simple way of making small buttons for people to post on either their website or social media. Like you know those sites where they ask you to give them a free link if they provide a free service for you? does anyone know of any good software or a really easy way of making a picture button like this? Thanks in advance for your help!! Cheers Similar TutorialsHey people, First post here and I hope you guys can help me. I'm currently helping out a family friend's company with general IT stuff, wether it be designing things for them or website stuff. Now I am by no means an experienced web designer, hence why I came here. They asked me today if I can make some changes to one of the sites they run, really simple ones at that. All I need to do is update some of the text on the site, change the dates etc. I have access to the ftp, using filezilla, and for the life of me I cannot find the html files I need to change. Now I obviously don't expect you guys to tell me where they are, but is there a method you would use to track them down? Right now there seems to be a ridiculous amount a folders and files for what seems to be a relatively simple site! I hope someone can point me in the right direction, for reference this is the website I need to make changes to http://kcsfireworks.co.uk/ Hope you guys can help point me in the right direction! Cheers "This will help immensely when you 1) rewrite all your pages and can use a script to replace one set of standard text with another set of standard text instead of doing all the changes by hand and 2) when someone else tries to modify or add to your collection of web pages. " I am basically teaching myself html web-design and am trying to understand what is meant by the first piece of advice... can someone explain what is meant by this in a languge that someone who is still trying to understand the basics of html would understand? Any clarification will be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Hi people, hopefully you can help. I've made a website for a artist-run collective here in Edinburgh, Scotland and everything is getting under way. I had a few questions with some issues I have been encountering and perhaps you could send me some information on if there is anyway to fix this. http://www.modular9.co.uk/ That's the site. Some things aren't up yet but you get the idea. The main issue is with the index page anyway. I have used a collection of image paths and rollovers and if you take a look at the source you'll see my very basic, yet required, html/css. One of the issues is the delay in rollover. I understand it is because it is loading a whole image each time you rollover the tally marks, but is there any way to speed this up? Or use a script that isn't as ineffective as javascript? I don't mind the delay but I know that the rollover is meant to exist so I give it a second or two, but people coming to the site for the first time might not notice the navigation and leave :/ Also, on some of my friend's computers at college, when they click on, artists, or the about section, or contact, for example, the background doesn't show up as the colours I put down. Is this because I used css to do so? Are there actually some browsers that can't take css yet? I know it's a bit vague and a general query but any tips and things would be great to make the site more effective and smooth running. Hope you are all well. Rich Hello all. I am still new to HTML coding. I come from the dark side (flash) and am seeing the light anyway I am building a "flash alt" site and I am building it around the Cargocollective.com platform. and I DESPERATELY need a HTML or JAVA or some other iphone / ipad friendly music player for the site. I have been searching for weeks but all I keep finding are the same flash plugs that make the whole concept redundant. any help, guidance, or advice on this matter would be greatly appreciated.... thanks I'm working on a site for a friend. She designed it all in Photoshop, but she didn't know what to do after that. I sliced it up in photoshop, and saved it to html. The problem is it uses tables for everything. I know tables are not the way to go and I want to do it all with CSS, but I've never created a site from scratch, I've just hacked templates alot. I have no problem reading and editing CSS, but like I've said I've never tried to style a site from scratch. Is there a good tutorial around to take a sliced up psd into html/css? I can do it if I have some direction. Thanks, Joe ps - here is the site I'm trying to work on: http://sewandsew.joeipson.com Here's the website that I'm trying to fix up: http://web1.pas.rochester.edu/~sps/ For my screen resolution (1680x1050), the text on the right frame seems to be shifted too much to the right and viewing it on a lower resolution makes it so the user has to scroll to the right to see the entire text. Just wondering if there was a way to get rid of that empty space so the text could shift over closer to the left frames? Also, i've noticed that when i click the links on the right frame, a scroll bar appears on the bottom to allow me to scroll left and right, though it really doesnt change much. Is there a way to get rid of that? Hi everyone, I'm currently in the process of re-thinking my layout www.ballermag.com and I would love to hear some feedback or ideas from the pros on this forum Not sure if this sort of post is frowned upon here in this forum, but I thought I would give it a try. If we are not supposed to do this here, just ignore this message and accept my apologies... If I'm going to rebuild the site, what should I start with? Any suggestions would be a big help! Thanks for reading, Milkman I'm in a nonprofit org that has an events page & a job posting page. We're currently using an old guestbook format that is getting spam on a daily basis. I'm looking to replace it w/ a more secure forum or something which would require posters to sign-up or something (in hopes of preventing spammers). I'm looking for recommendations for something EASY to setup. Sorry if this is in the wrong forum...wasn't sure where to post this! Thanks in advance, Shelly I am trying to add a photo gallery, slide show images (10photos) to my site and I would like to get some suggestions from you guys. Thanks http://www.danielbourne.net/pdwcs/1/about.html this seems to work fine in firefox but in internet explorer creates pading and i cant see how could someone lease look and see what im doing wrong ? Hey guys I just got an oppurtunity for an internship this summer and I need some Ideas for a small little portfolio (some small web pages and such) also maybee some banner ideas. Here is the email I got "We design and create anything from a simple 3 to 5 page website to huge applications for an organization or even a municipality. My ongoing project is www.ourfortworth.com (OFW.) It is a web community I created in 1999 just for kicks. Since then, it has grown to an average of 85,000+ visitors each month. OFW focuses only on local information and advertising for local businesses. The "full color display type" ads you see at the top and on the sides of each page are something we are constantly making for new or existing advertisers. We usually change or update the ads when ad contracts renew every three to six months. We are just starting our Restaurant Guide to complement the business directory we are working on. Most of the work initially would be the ads I mentioned above and the basic 3 to 5 page websites for small businesses. I would like to talk with you when you have time and get a feel for the style of work you produce, your basic design style, etc. to see if we might be a good fit to work together. " Any programs that y'all know that work well for making banners? Also I know HTML pretty well , what would help me practice getting better at it or what should I move onto? Just looking for some Ideas.. (By the way I'm 17 and know XHTML) Thanks, Randy Hi All, I am wondering if someone can recommnd an solution or point me in the direction i should be going. I am looking at creating a dynamic form, what i would like to do is use a drop down and depending on the dropdown selected the required fields would populate. I have attached an file to show as an example. If someone clicked on Item A they would get one set of fields to fill out. If that same person selected Item B they would get different fields to fill out ... All being mandatory.. Thanks ahead for any help or suggestions ... This is a great place to get info. Hi, I am trying to set up a pictures page on a web site. My first idea was to set up two iframes so that the user could scroll sideways on the top through the pictures and each picture would link to itself in a bigger size targeted to another iframe... like this. I put a few of the pictures in here just to show you what I was thinking... the page really isn't working well, I just threw it together to show you the structure I'm talking about. This would work, but I'd also like the description to change, so I was thinking of using Javascript (I don't actually know javascript yet, so I'm guessing at this) so each picture would change TWO iframes, one as the picture and the other would be the description. The problem with that would be that I would have to make a new html page for each description... I guess I could do that, but would there be anything easier? All the solutions I have thought of like using a getElementByID javascript to change the picture and text wouldn't work because of the iframe. If there is another solution, I don't even need an iframe. I was just checking to see if anyone had any suggestions on this, either a simpler solution to the iframe idea or a completely different idea. It really doesn't matter, I just want a good looking, easy to use pictures page. I every one I'm working on a page where the text is set up in HTML and I'm getting some pretty different results on different computers. This really is a 2 parted question. First if you would be so kind as to visit this page and tell me if the text is properly sized and formatted as to fill the areas between the images: http://www.reelectjusticecliffordtaylor.com/bio.html I've included a screen grab of what the text looks like on my PC when I see it live. at this link: http://www.johncliffordtaylor.com/text_example.jpg Second base on what I've seen up to this point I would like to know if there is a way to get the text to appear more uniformly in different browsers on different PC's. So far I'm just working with: body,td,th { font-family: Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; color: #2B24A6; (pretty much navy) } that are embedded right inside my page HTML page. So I'm very open to any ideas on how to get the text to appear more consistently across many computers and browsers. Thx for the help every one!
