HTML - Html Proper Text/syntax

I have several websites that I maintain and update. A lot of them are just textual changes and I would think my customers can do these themselves by editing a simple .txt file.

I was hoping my choices are avalable so that I can just insert this tag into my web pages and then give them login info to their edit page or show them how to upload the .txt file.

I hope this is an easy one with several answers.

Is it possible these tags could discipline your rankings in the search engines?

Thanks,
Jason

i have a lot of text files(2-400) all have quite alot of text inside them so is there some software that can help me convert it all into html pages??

now can u tell somthing better??

all the files will open in same frame(obviously one at a time), all have styling n everything same.

Hi everyone,

I've been searching around the web trying to find out how I can send using Outlook a html and text email newsletter automatically.

I am quite happy creating html only newsletters, and text ones for that matter, but I have been digging and believe that by using multi-part code I can send to both and the recipients email client "allows" whichever version to be displayed - does this sound right?

I'm hoping to simply create the html with the relevent mime references and boundaries (dont know what they are but have seen them on enough Google'd pages to know that they mean something!) and then copy and paste into Outlook - the newsletter is only going out to a few people at a time.

Any suggestions or advice would be very greatly appreciated.

Regards

Allan

i just started working on addicted2ally.com, and for some reason, my index.html is showing the text of the html instead of well, doing it lol helppp!?

Hi everybody,

I've invented a means of converting HTML to keywords.

What do you think of it?

Any kind of feedback is greatly appreciated!


Thanks in advance and kind regards

Hello, I'm currently hosting my website through another domain but am using a .com which forwards you to my site. Example; go to www.example.com and it takes you to www.bluered.com/example/main.html .

The problem is that when searching through Google, it is not recognizing my .com name, only the hosting url. I attempted a Java 301 redirect which I applied to the body section of my HTML but I am not sure if it worked. This is the code I entered:


<%
response.setStatus(301);
response.setHeader( "Location", "http://www.new-url.com/" );
response.setHeader( "Connection", "close" );
%>

I replaced the "http://www.new-url.com/" with my .com name and placed this code in the code on my landing page.

Can anyone give me some suggestions, tips? It would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

I am still unsure of the proper time to use <td>s <table>s etc. I have been getting into the habit of always useing CSS to format my pages. Will using <table>s make it any easier to make my web pages?

Second, I was wondering if there are any good websites providing free help with Fireworks 8. I am not very good with it and want to learn more to make my sites more appealing.

Thank-you.

Hi, my name is Josh, and I'm fairly new to website design, so therefore, also a little new to HTML. I apologize in advance for the length of my post, but I feel I really need to be specific as much as possible. Let me be honest with you. I have very limited knowledge on the subject, but I am a quick learner. Anyway, I'm creating a directory on my website where the visitor would be able to clink on one of 51 links, aligned in 3 columns, to take them to a page listing businesses within one of the 50 states. The 51st link, of course, would be directing visitors to an international listing page. Then below the links for the different states, there is supposed to be 26 links, one for each letter of the alphabet, so the visitor can find a business by name. Following that, of course, would begin the listing of the businesses. Basically, I've been teaching myself HTML so far by viewing the source code of pages I visit, and I discover a basic idea of how to do different things with web design. Let me show you the format I've been trying to grasp with this project by giving you an example code. The following code places the links for the states all at the bottom, and also they are not aligned properly, as the first column appears higher than the second which is also higher than the third. I'm not sure I quite understand the way this code works, or what mistake I'm making with it. What I would actually rather do is have a code creating a drop-down box which the visitor would just select their option, and be directed to the requested page immediately, but I don't know how to do that either. At any rate, I do also need to figure out how to get those state-by-state links to appear at the top of the business listings instead of at the very bottom of the page the way it is appearing now with this code. If anybody could help me figure out what the heck I'm doing, I would really appreciate it.

As you can see, my knowledge of HTML is pretty basic, and I'm sure you can tell that I tried to abbreviate this excerpt code as much as possible to conserve space on this post. I placed three dots "..." in many places to signify where large irrelevant portions of the page have been omitted, especially where I eliminated the thousands of business listing codes...lol. It may also have not been necessary to provide as much of the code as I did, but I just wanted to make sure that what I need is understood so perhaps I can get some help. Thank you everyone in advance for your assistance...

I am unsure which of the below methods of embedding a flash object into a web page is correct - and which is a deprecated method. Any help would be very much appreciated!

Method one:

<object width="800" height="480">
<param name="movie" value="Gallery.swf">
<embed src="Gallery.swf" width="800" height="480">
</embed>
</object>

--

Method two:

<script type="text/javascript">
var flashvars = {XMLFile: "gallery.xml"};
var params = {bgcolor: "#000000"};
swfobject.embedSWF("Gallery.swf", "myAlternativeContent","800", "480", "9.0.0",false, flashvars, params);
</script>
<div id="myAlternativeContent">
<a href="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer">

Hi,

I'm writing a terms and conditions page in plain XHTML where we have lots of text along the lines of this:

1
Lorem ipsum intro to 1 1.1 More blurb goes in here 1.2 and a whole bunch of other stuff you can't do 2
La-di-dah here's section two 2.1 this that and the other I'd like to use nested ordered lists (OL tags), but we are quite rigid about the numbering in that the sub-sections must be x.x. This is so we can refer to them without any ambiguity.

Getting the layout and positioning is no problem, but I don't see how to write this with OL tags. I tried using VALUE="2.1" in the LIs but this doesn't work.

I'm assuming a list is the proper thing to use in this case, but I'm open to other ideas (DL maybe???).

Currently my website uses frames and no css. I need to update it, but I'm in a huge time crunch!!! (And don't know css and only know very very basic HTML)
I need my website to be functional (not in limbo) by next weekend, so it either has to stay how it is now (frames & older HTML) or be totally done by then.
Is there anywhere that I can get help to do this automatically instead of waiting until later when I have way more time to learn it myself (that changes your code easily/automatically), or super awesome people who love HTML and will do it for me? It's a pretty simple/basic website and I would be SO so SO appreciative.

I have tables containing text in them but the background does not appear its just a white error background the text appears however. Heres my html i don't know whats wrong.

I want to wrap a long line of text in a table for Firefox, IE 6, 7 and 8, Chrome and Opera.
I try 'style="overflow:hidden; width:50px;' but the line is cut off.
i.e. I see "longllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll" but not "longlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllong".

Code:

<table border="1" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0" width="600" style='table-layout:fixed'>
    <col width=40>
    <col width=97>

    <tr valign="top">

        <td style="overflow:hidden; width:50px; max-width:50px;"><a style="text-decoration: none" href="index.jsp?ID=21"><span class="bodySmall">longlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllong<br></span><span class="Body2"></span></a></td>

HTML to look at text or xml file - is there a way of creating a HTML tag or Div to look at another text file that can be easily edited as the source to the content. Basically a paragraph that can be easily edited by someone who doesn't understand html that affects paragraphs in divs on a web page.

- could someone point me in the right direction -

I can't seem to get my head around what I need being only a tuesday and not getting stuck into the week.

Thanks in advance...
