HTML - One Template Different Content

Hi guys.I have very little html experience so I decided to work from a template. Problem is, I didn't even know how to add some of the simple stuff.

I was able to figure out how to add: a) the background b) the main header(banner) and c) a few normal pictures

I have no idea however how to add the: sidebar, menubar (where about us, etc is), or the footer. I don't know where the programming for them starts or how to add so that the show up.

In the following post I'll add my website name and code:

I'm trying to make a template for e-bay using Dreamweaver. When I use CSS, it applies everything to the whole auction, so even the e-bay things have the font as orange. I went in and changed everything to html and things look better, but I'm having a problem with the border around my images. I would like it to be the color in the background instead of black. Here is a screenshot of what I am talking about.

Here is the code I currently have:

<img src="http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q14/littlestinkerstore/SSTemplate/ssimagej.jpg" width="288" height="288" border="9"></p>
<p align="center">&nbsp;</p>
<p align="center"><img src="http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q14/littlestinkerstore/SSTemplate/ssdescriptionj.jpg" width="450" height="225" border="2"></p>

What I would REALLY like is a border around the image that is another image, a pattern used in the background, but I will be happy with a color that matches!! Thanks!

Hey everyone,

First of all, I don't know any HTML, I'll be following a tutorial later this week to learn it, yet I decided to give website lay-outs, a go. Here's what I got so far.

Now my questions are, do I have to add the text on there now? Or will I add it with HTML later on?

And my other question is, how exactly does the slice tool work? Do I just have to slice it all in pieces? Or do I have to add the URL to it too? (If you double-click a slice you can enter a URL, how can I know the URL if I don't even have a site yet?)

Thanks a lot!

HI Guys,

I am making a template using Web 2.0. Everything was alright but when I opened the html files in Dreamweaver again for work. One div in the middle it showed white space.

When I viewed it in firefox, it viewed completely and there was no white space. The text was there , everything was there. I dont get it, where did the white space came from.

Also, if I view the code view, that specific div is highlighted with yellow color. Also the yellow highlighted div is showing in the design view.



I am attaching the screenshots.
Kindly help with this

Hi, total newbie to website design and I need help in getting rid of a template. I think for now all i want is to go to cPanel, then right to a HTML editor, but every choice seems to leave me with some sort of forced template.
I just switched from Sitebuilder to RVsitebuilder and was a little happier with the 'build your own' template... but still there is a template. I want to learn to design my own header, not have some preset thing....
Should I just keep messing with different builders? Try wordpress? (it's Not like i can ruin anything, there is no content up yet to worry about overwriting)
Hoping someone feels like answering this tonight

here is the template.

it's coded badly since I used photoshop and dreamweaver since I dont really know how to code.

the only thing I need to do is add a div tag in the body thats white and another div tag for the footer with that color. ive been messing with it but i cant get it. i end up messing the whole template up.

could someone please help me with those 2 spots please?

I have an older template that has a stylesheet and iframes.html I am wanting to put this into it and just havent had any luck.

<!-- MLCALC BEGIN -->
<script type="text/javascript"><!--
mlcalc_default_calculator = 'loan';
mlcalc_currency_code = 'usd';
mlcalc_amortization = 'year_nc';
//--></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.mlcalc.com/jquery.js"></script><div style="font-weight:normal;font-size:9px;font-family:Tahoma;padding:0;margin:0;border:0;background:transparent;color:#E5E5E5;width:300px;text-align:right;padding-right:10px;" id="mlcalcWidgetHolder"><script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.mlcalc.com/widget-wide.js"></script>Powered by <a href="http://www.mlcalc.com/" style="color:#E5E5E5;text-decoration:none">Mortgage Calculator</a></div>
<!-- MLCALC END -->


I have been able to muddle it into the page but get script error. I am sure I need to provide more information. The tables on the page are just to confusing for me to work this in.

Just thought I would start off with the problem. Wasnt sure what forum to put this in either


thanks in advance for any input.

Hi, this may not be even a HTML question but...

I was wondering if there was a way to create some kind of website template, so if I wanted to add a banner or something to a page I don't have to go into each individual html file and put it in. Something like a css that everything references to and making a change in that changes all.

THX.

Well okay it's me again. I'm making another template.

How do I get this:

Can someone please recommend to me a good site(s) where I can get free HTML templates for websites?

I have gotten a free template of the internet. And i have know i dea how to edit the content like the bars text and everything in it. I dont have photoshop and was wondering how iam supposed to do this.

I am creating a blog, and I went on a blog skin website and downloaded a couple of templates. i signed up to start my blog on blogspot.com. anyway, when i tried to customize and upload my downloaded templates, it had some errors. i'll try to give anyone the html codes...i can't make an attachment with the files

on the first template i got the following error:

"Your template could not be parsed as it is not well-formed. Please make sure all XML elements are closed properly.
XML error message: The element type "html" must be terminated by the matching end-tag "". "

i tried the second template, and i got this error:

"Your template could not be parsed as it is not well-formed. Please make sure all XML elements are closed properly.
XML error message: Open quote is expected for attribute "{1}" associated with an element type "language". "


i am wondering if the person who made these made a mistake in the html. please help!

oh, here is my blogspot address: harmony-dreams.blogspot.com

Hello,

I have a problem pulling external vbscript into an html template. I have various .vbs files written in vbscript, in a function library. Each .vbs file contains many functions that do a variety of things. Every function is documented with the following format;
'Function Name
''Purpose
'Date
'Author
etc...
What I need to do is create an html template and populate the template with the formatted documentation only from each of the functions. Unfortunately, this isn't as easy as using src=filename.vbs because I'm trying to access the documentation only....not the script itself.
Does anyone have any ideas?

thanks in advance!
