HTML - A Bunch Of Questions
Hey peoples,
im new in the (x)html-"program", ive got some questions since i dont really know what it all means, i got a book of around 800pages here but i aint the "readingperson" to read it out... thats why i got a couple of questions that might look/sound stupid to you peoples, >what are tables? what can i do with it? do i have to use them? .... ? ....? >i want some kind of sidebar on my website, i just cant find what the code is for that in my book...? >buttons/keys/"links" to other pages on your site, how do you make them and how do they work? >this is only for when my site is almost done, but is it hard to make a loggin-register-forum ? thanks for reading this at least, greetings Robin (btw, im only 16, my English is bad, since ive learned it from computergames. sorry for that) Similar TutorialsHey guys! Well im new here so il just start off by saying hello Its been a while since ive played around with html, and it seems ive completely lost my touch lol My dad asked me not long ago to create him a little site for him about the holiday campus his bungalow is residing on. Its also something he could turn into a hobby keeping it up to date when he retires. So i decided its best i download a free template as its been many years since ive done anything with html and i only really remember the basics. So i downloaded this: http://www.templateyes.com/html-templates/026.htm Which i really liked the look of. Imo it looks great, its nice simple and stylish. Anywho, im going on So i downloaded it and to my horror got lost in the ever so confusing mounds of crap it had in it lol. So i tried stripping it and just ended up making a huge mess. So i decided to import the site in front page and work on there. Well Front page seems to not be so great as i used to think it was lol sooooo i then decided to just make the front page as a picture and import it into front page and then add the text and links on. Ha Ha! im so cunning! So i made this: http://image.bayimg.com/oaehkaabn.jpg So i decided to import that picture in and then add the links and the text boxes. My problem however is frontpage is poo for some reason whenever i made a text box, it would always shift itself after ive saved it. So my question is, why? lol. I was going to ask for help putting in the text boxes via html (the borders and stuff - Im very technical as you can see ) But now ive realized that even doing so would still make it so much more hassel than any good because then whenever i want to expand the site id have to draw it, which is alil silly. So what il do is i guess i will find another template and do that, but im bound to want to edit it in frontpage, unless its nice and simple but most of the nice looking sites arnt simple So, if any of you know much on frontpage? Do you know why it just seems to shift my text boxes after ive saved them, also, is their a way to make frontpage not save the text as pictures after ive saved it? Thats another problem i have, why does it save everything into pictures? ~_~ Sorry for the babbling, i talk to much Ok well I'm coming up to the finishing point of the new Phinfever site, and I just have a bunch of small issues to deal with, mostly with IE. Was wondering if you lovely people here would help me out. 1. The footer text alignment. See this thread: http://www.htmlforums.com/css/t-alig...xt-106876.html 2. Making the text in the sidebar <h3> tags invisible. The CMS doesn't allow us not to put text in the header, as a result I've set the font-size to 0, which should make it invisible... however in IE you can see small dots of white. Is there a work-around for this? RESOLVED 3. The pagination gets cut off at the top in Internet Explorer. It looks fine in firefox but for some reason the top border and a few pixels of the box itself get cut off. I think that's about all I'm having trouble with right now. I'll use this thread if anything comes up. If you see anything else, be sure to let me know. Thanks! http://www.phinfever.com/newsite I have this form below: Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <title>Form</title> </head> <body> <h1>Test Form:</h1> <form action="name.php" method="get" name="form1"> <input type="hidden" name="table" value="elements" /> <input type="hidden" name="column" value="name" /> <label>Name:</label><input type="text" name="data" /> <input type="hidden" name="status" value="new" /> <input type="hidden" name="rowid" id="rowid" value="456" /> </form> <form action="symbol.php" method="get" name="form2"> <input type="hidden" name="table" value="elements" /> <input type="hidden" name="column" value="symbol" /> <label>Symbol:</label><input type="text" name="data" /> <input type="hidden" name="status" value="new" /> <input type="hidden" name="rowid" id="rowid" value="456" /> </form> <form action="atomic_number.php" method="get" name="form3"> <input type="hidden" name="table" value="elements" /> <input type="hidden" name="column" value="atomic_number" /> <label>Atomic Number:</label><input type="text" name="data" /> <input type="hidden" name="status" value="new" /> <input type="hidden" name="rowid" id="rowid" value="456" /> </form> <input type="button" value="Form submit" onclick="form1.submit(); form2.submit(); form3.submit()" /> </body> </html> What I am trying to do is send each input through each of the scripts using the get method. For some reason, only the last one is submitted. What is wrong with my code? Hi everyone, I am very new to designing web pages and HTML. I wrote a basic code for my test page, but when I upload it to the server and go to the link, it adds a bunch of crap. Check it out: garrettspctexperience.com. I've tried a few things to correct it, but nothing I've done works. I'm using TextEdit to write the code. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks -Garrett Hello everyone. Tho i am a new user, i need help on this one. 1)Does anyone have or know a ready rating and commenting system code that you can just stick on your HTML page? 2)Anyone know where to get Dreamweaver CS1+ for a pretty low price? I hope i posted in the right section. Please help me out! Thanks in advance! This is my site currently ... www.fortheloveinc.com (please click to see what I am referring to) 1st Question ~ As you go from page to page on my site, you'll notice the annoying banner at the very top of the page. The site is hosted by godaddy.com, but there must be a way to remove that from my site. All the advertisements as well. Is it because I am temporarily using the free host option when you first purchase a domain do you think? Just wondering how I remove all of that off of my site. 2nd Question ~ I've been using Photoshop, for the graphics on my site (the headers, and the clickable links). I would like to be able to fill my site, from side to side, and from top to bottom. How do I do this using html? Basically make use of the whole page, instead of just little portions of it. Thank you and I'm hoping y'all can help me out with these questions. Much appreciated. 01:: object won't touch the top of the page:: On my site, www.subliminalmusic.co.nr, I got a flash mp3 player in a frame at the top.. but, for some reason, the mp3 player won't touch the very top of the page. I want it where the mp3 player touches the very top of the page and is fixed in place instead of having a scroll bar on the right. 02:: how do you make frame1 close when frame2 browses off of the original domain?:: I'm wondering if it's possible to make my top frame, with the mp3 player in it, close whenever I go to an off-site link in the bottom frame? Where the top frame stays put whenever I browse my own site, but closes whenever I go to another website. It seems logical that I could make a list of safe-urls, or whatever.. something like.. where the top frame can recognize what's in the bottom frame.. and there'd be a list of urls in the code somewhere. If the url in the bottom frame isn't in the list of urls mentioned in the code, then the top frame closes. Is that possible? If so, can you tell me how to do it or point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance! -Anthony- I am a new member and I was hoping someone could help me. I have looked for answers myself, but I havent come across them. Question 1- How do I add a Scroll Bar Box to left side to slip the page into 2 sections, and How to add Links to it? Question 2- How Do I make the Screen not move off the page? So the Bottom scrollbar does not show up. Ex. If I am using Internet Explorer, and I have my Favorites up, and I expand the box, It makes the screen smaller, But the website also gets smaller, but you can still see evrything. I Hope you guys can help me. 1. Is there any HTML code that can allow me to create a newsletter for my website. So people can sign up with it, then whenever I want to send one out I just fill in some form for the new letter then hit send and it will send to all the people who signed up. Is there any html code to do this, if so what is the code? 2. I would like a link or something to useful html codes that I could use for my website.

First - I have a news section on my website that I want people to be able to comment on. I have searched the web forever on this, but I want people to be able to click the comment section below the article which will redirect them to another page where they can add/view comments. I also want people to be able to see how many comments have been posted on the original article. Whats the best way of doing this? Second - I have a sidebar on my website that provides a quick link to an article that has been posted. Is there anyway I can make that sidebar once and reference throughout the other pages on my website so I don't have to update each individual page? Thanks in advance for your help. p.s. the website is http://www.socomfans.com 1. Can I define two classes? For example: Code: <p class="one" class="two">Text...</p> 2. Can a class be defined as a number? For example: Code: <p class="1">Text...<p> Thanks. Hiya I am designing my first website for a charity. I have learnt simple HTML but not that good yet so I am confused on two things: 1. Why can't I see my images, I have been building my site offline and linked to where the images are saved. The other day I could view them and today I can't, I have checked several times that the file route is correct and it is. So why do they just come up with a box and small red x? 2. How do you make words (such as menu navigation) change colour and pop out when you hover over them? I hope I have posted this in the correct place, forgive me if I haven't but I did not know where else these questions should do. Any help you can give and also sites that have cool example codes would be great. Thank you in advance Michaela Hi everyone. I am looking to engage someone in conversation about an HTML cut-up excercise I am currently working on. I have some basic HTML and CSS experience from several short evening courses I attended a couple of years ago, built myself a couple of very basic, amateur sites (I am interested in 3d modeling and built myself a couple of portfolio sites to show some of my models), and went as far as to fumble my way through putting together a practice e-commerce site using PHP/mysql/apache. This was all a couple of years ago now and I had thought web design was a thing of my past. But, in a slightly strange turn of recent events I put myself forward for an seo position at a local web dev company, and came away asked if I would be interested in a junior front end developer role. I am eager to take on this challenge, and have been given an html cut-up excercise to do as a barometer of my abilities. Everything I have ever done web wise, has really been from scratch, so this cut-up business is very new to me. I found several videos on youtube which all centred around the slice tool in photoshop, and then saving out the slices as an html and images file, to then fine tune elsewhere, in my case, Dreamweaver. I am conscious though, of not having an image heavy webpage, and also am not happy with the huge and complicated table that Photoshop coded for me as a result of all my slicing. So, does anyone have any experience with Photoshop cut-ups, and ideas to get the best results from the outcome. At the moment, Ive hand coded most of the buttons, so they are no longer images, and added links to them. But I got to a point where all the 1 pixel high 'spacer.gif's' were getting on my nerves that I deleted all of them. Then that left me with a very distorted and empty looking table, so I deleted all the table elements from the code also. So my idea from here is to use divs and absolute positioning to place all the leftover 'necessary' parts, how they look in the original psd image. Does it sound like I am on the right path? I assume there are several methods of going about a cut-up. Could anyone give me some advice? Ben I write for a weekly newspaper and am looking to make the web posts a little nicer on the eyes. So, there a few bits of help I could REALLY use! I'll explain each but here's a quick rundown first: 1.) Wrapping text around a captioned image 2.) Single-line breaks in the caption 3.) The biggie -- a pop-up text box when a link is moused over. 1.) When I'm posting an image, a caption is almost always necessary. Here's the code I've been using for the image and caption: "<table class="image"> <caption align="bottom">CAPTION</caption> <tr><td><IMAGE LINK></td></tr> </table>" But when I post like that, there's a break between paragraphs to show the image, which disrupts the reading flow. I need a code that will let me post an image, add a bottom-aligned caption, and still have the story text print alongside the image. 2.) When posting images and captions using the above code, I'd like to have single-line breaks in the caption. "Name (new line), Job Title." Something like that. When I try this using "<br>" though, there's an extra line space between the two text lines. Surely this is a simple fix, but I'm no html expert. 3.) I'm willing to spend hours to learn this one. Somebody, somebody has to know how to do this one. OK, ESPN.com is the best example I've seen. You mouse over a story link, and a box pops up with a paragraph's description of the story. For someone looking to find new ways to boost hits on a news site, this is a priceless gem. If anyone knows how to do this or something similiar in HTML, PLEASE let me know. Edit: After posting this, I noticed that the same thing happens on this site. You highlight someone's post, and the beginning of the post's content is displayed. How do I do this??? Thanks in advance to each and every person who reads this, and a special thanks to those who take the time to help. It means much. aefattwotgm@aol.com Hi everyone. I'd like people's opinion on something. That something being layout design, or more specifically, width. When designing your website layouts, what width do you optimise your site for? Which technique do you find works best? I have had a tendency to make sites that are centered in the browser window and are optimised for 800px width screens, usually setting up the layout to be 788px wide, allowing 12px for a scrollbar if required. Another technique I have considered is the so-called Holy Grail liquid layout. With larger screens and half decent graphics cards now a lot cheaper than in the past, do you still optimise based on a 800x600 resolution, or 1024x768? I guess it can depend on the website's target audience as to how it is designed. For instance, a website aimed at a target audience of the elderly or younger children would need to have an easier to follow layout with larger text etc on screen. What are your thoughts on this? Hello i'm new to HTML and i have a few questions. I am using HTMLdog.com to learn the basics of html/css but i want to know if i should learn 1 at a time or both at the same time. Can HTML codes be used in the same file as a CSS or do i have to use the href linking code? Also if i do a CSS file by itself does it have to start with <html> and have the <head> <body> tags? Hey guys, i'm new to these forums, and new to html. I do alot of animation and art stuff and wanted to create a website and eventually a community type deal for it. I'm decent with graphics so I managed to create a basic design. Just a few questions really: 1. What are some good tutorials to help me get started, i have very very basic knowledge in html, just about basic tags and linking. 2. Maybe direction towards a decent host and ftp program? I get really confused about what a good host offers and how to upload stuff. 3. How hard would it be for a beginner to create a site like this? http://img80.imageshack.us/img80/682...emocopylr2.jpg I don't want this to sound like a stupid question, but just an estimate of difficulty or time to create. I know it's just a solid image, it's just a example I created. Thanks and I hope someone can help. In preparing to learn in-depth info about DW and all the terms that come with web designing: What exactly does the term slide toggle mean? I came across this term, in one of the threads, and googled it but still did not understand the term. I was suprised to see that DW has a few critics out there. With each type of programming language, I gather that there are pro's and con's for each but specifically, what are the con's to DW? I invested in CS5 and I am looking forward to working with php and MySQL in conjunction with DW. Thank you in advance! |
