HTML - So I'm Learning Html Right Now, And What Am I Doing Wrong?
I know I'm really new to this, but I'm following a guide and I don't seem to be doing something right. Let me show you an example of some code that won't work for me..
<h1 style="color:#09C" align="center" style="border:dashed"> Hello</h1> ^This is what I'm having problems with. When I first put in the color and align, everything worked fine. Then the code stopped working when I started putting on a border, a font style, and etc... Why is it that when I start setting multiple preferences (color, size, center,etc..) , the code stops working? Thanks in advance. Oh Btw, I'm using Dreamweaver if that matters.

Thanks ______________________ HI spurred on by watching a Douglas Rushkoff 'programme or be programmed' talk, at LAST I am trying--though its slow and painful, so be warned--and trying to learn it and am riight at the beginning which must seem real cute lol OK this here is the reason I have made an effort to join these forums. I was watching this video Learn HTML - Lesson 2 and @ o4:06 he is saying that if you add on target="_blank" to end of ahref link that this means there will be a windown opening in your window and he shows it. But it is not happening for me. It is the same as before I added it. So what am I doing wrong? Here is a smaple of my html--I better give it all so you can overlook it if you will: <html> <head><title> Programming explorations </title> </head> <body bgcolor="green"> <font color="#ffffff"><h1 align="center">The Moon in the Lake in the Meadow</h1> I was walking into these woods, and came to a house and walcked through the yard and into the kitchen and <i>through</i> the door, and onwards out when all of a <b>sudden</b> I was outside in a meadow and walking through many different coloured flowers, with the sounds of buzzing insects all round.<p>There was an old well<br>andthis onld well was<h1> very deep</h><h3>sooo deep</h3><h5>so <i>verrrry</i></h5><h7>deeeeeepppp</h7> <hr> Where am I I wondered?

Thanks ______________________ Hello people here, I playing with my own blog and i encounter many problem on HTML. So any help will be appreciated. I describe my problem below; Currently i am Using this as my Backgroud: <head> <style type="text/css"> Body{ background-image:url(http://www.mahgolwebv3.persiangig.co...runge_bg.jpg); background-attachment:fixed; background-position:left-top; background-repeat:no-repeat; background-color:#000000; margin-top:0px; Now i wanna add some emben object onto the bottom of the Background, which i got from imeem music playlist. <object width="277" height="80" ><param name="movie" value="http://media.imeem.com/m/Ot0eIFQxaG"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://media.imeem.com/m/Ot0eIFQxaG" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="277" height="80" wmode="transparent" ></embed></object> The design i want for it is the "Imeem" (Object) Can LOCKED onto the bottom of the background so Even if i scroll the Imeen Object will not move (Fixed), But i cant seem to get the code correct.. Anyone mind teach me? And another problem which i dont know how to describe, its just that my blogspot is not covering the whole page. Example : Please take a look - blitzkriez.blogspot.com This is my page, my menu (Walking Alone) Cannot appear on the right side(too much space wasted) Anyway to move it onto the most right? My menu Code: .menu{ text-align:center; font-family:Tahoma; font-size:8pt; color:#F3C6EA; width:150px; height:auto; float:right; margin-right:0px padding-left:4px; padding-top:0px; background-color:#000000; padding-right:0px } .menu a{ text-decoration:none; color:#cccccc } .menu a:hover{ border-bottom:dashed 1px #cccccc; color:#777777; cursor: crosshair } And Lastly this is my container : } .container{ position:relative; width:575px; margin-left: 19em; <body> <div class="container"> <img src="http://www.mahgolwebv3.persiangig.com/walls2/walls_grunge_topbar.gif" class="img"/><br /> <span class="blogtitle"><i>At the end of another lost highway, Signs misleading to nowhere... </i> <body> How to make my container Lock its position like background? I cant figure the code for it.. is php necessary for learning php? Hello, I am learning HTML coding from a lynda.com video class and I am a little confused. The instructor keeps saying that different browsers don't support all the tags in the same way. This makes no sense to me. The whole reason that we had the desktop publishing revolution with standardized page layout and fonts (Postscript) was so that anything printed anywhere would look the same. Now, I'm learning that this is not the case with browsers. Isn't this like 2 steps forward and 1 back? I'm befuddled... Any insight into this lack of compatibility would be welcome. I mean even OpenOffice will read Word documents. Why can't we all just agree on the same standards for our browsers? Thanks for your input! ~Antonio Hello! I'm completely self taught and sometimes I get things wrong. I'm having problems with the html. The site looks bigger and some of the sizes (scroll bar) aren't right in Internet Explorer - I was wondering if anyone could tell me what the problem is or even suggest another way to work it out.. Here's the link: http://www.shortdoggkennels.com/brooklynsedge/home.html And here's a direct link to the CSS: http://www.shortdoggkennels.com/brooklynsedge/style.css Thanks in advance! Hi, I need a favor. Can one of you go here http://www.everyman2.com/test.html I do a webcomic, and for some reason the image won't center in the maroon box. I don't know much (or anything) of html so it really doesn't make much sense to me. Can someone go and view the source? Thanks a million! Hi guys Im new to HTML (relatively) and would greatly apreciate some input or ideas as to what im doing wrong. I have recently created a website using a CMS (i know you shouldnt but i am learning HTML and will soon be ditching the CMS) and therefore have no control over the CSS One of the things i am doing on my site is to show artists work off to the world. Therefore they give me the images and i have little to no control over their appearence. To protect the images i have decided to make the actual art the background of a table and to put a blank image infront of it. However i have come across a problem. The picture doesnt seem to be showing as the size i am putting into it. If you go to http://www.dragonstouch.co.uk/page22.htm you will see what i mean. The code i am using for the top picture is: <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="520" border="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td width="520" background="http://www.dragonstouch.co.uk/userimages/OakdragonCR2.jpg" height="377" < td alt=""> <div align="center"> <div align="center"><img style="width: 520px; height: 377px" height="377" alt="Oak Dragon" src="http://www.dragonstouch.co.uk/userimages/Blank(1).gif" width="520" border="0" /></div> </div> </td> </tr> </tbody> <p align="center"></p> </table> Now as far as i can see i have set the height as 377 and the width as 520. When i rightclick and go to the blank images properties it shows as the height being 377 but the width as 540. I really have tried everything i can think of and nothing seems to help. Any ideas would be greatly apreciated. However due to recent experiences i would also make a couple of requests. I am trying very hard to learn HTML and i already know that the majority of you if not all of you have a far superior understanding of it than i do. I say this because the forums i went to before this one were very argumentative and tended to talk to me as if i were a moron. 2ndly i am aware that there is no foolproof way of protecting images. I say this because as before when i posed this question to a previous forum they just insisted i shouldnt do it and that images shouldnt be put on the net and would not help me. I dont mean to be rude or anything like that i just found my previous experience with the html experts very frustrating and therefore i just want to state that i am asking for help, not grief. I hope this doesnt put you off helping me. Thanks all in advance. Dariune (Lex) Hello everyone. I would appreciate it if someone would spend a second of their valuable time to answer my simple question. What is wrong with the following html code: <html> <head> <title>Testing</title> </head> <body> <div id="whitefont" style="font-color:white;background-color:black;">hello</div> </body> </html> ? OK, I have no clue why this is happening: In the following code, the far right-hand column stays bold, even though there is no reference to bold fonts being made. There is no way to turn the bold off, it's just stuck there. Has anyone ever run into this problem before?? Code: <table style="width: 689px; height: 192px;" border="0" bordercolor="#cccccc" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td><a href="http://www.somecompany.com/features.htm"><img style="border: 0px solid ; width: 286px; height: 152px;" alt="" src="images/features.jpg"></a></td> <td colspan="1" rowspan="2"></td> <td colspan="1" rowspan="2"> <div style="text-align: left;"><span class="BigBold">Take a test drive...</span><br> </div> <div style="text-align: left;"><br> <span class="SmallItalic"> "Today was the first day that I ever"<br><br> </span> </div> <div style="text-align: right;"><span style="Small">-Suzette, Ontario Canada<br></span><br> </div> <div style="text-align: left;"><span style="Small">Today was the first day that I everToday was the first day that I everToday was the first day that I everToday was the first day that I ever<br> <br>Today was the first day that I everToday was the first day that I everToday was the first day that I everToday was the first day that I ever<span style="font-style: italic;"></span><br> </div> <p style="text-align: right;"><a href="http://www.somecompany.com/demo_setup.exe"><img style="border: 0px;" alt="Download Now" src="images/download_demo.gif"></a></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><br><br><br><br><br><br></td><td></td></tr> <tr bordercolor="#CCCCCC"> </tr> <tr bordercolor="#CCCCCC"> </tr> <tr bordercolor="#CCCCCC"> </tr><tr></tr><tr></tr> </tbody> </table> <br> <table style="text-align: left; width: 689px; height: 196px;" border="0" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="2"> <tbody> <tr> <td colspan="2" rowspan="1"><span class="BigBold">System</span><br><span class="Default">Basic PC Requirements</td> <td colspan="1" rowspan="3"><img style="width: 4px; height: 221px;" alt="" src="images/download_pin.gif"></td> <td colspan="2" rowspan="1"><span class="BigBold">Support<br></span><span class="Default">Help, I'm stuck!</td> <td colspan="1" rowspan="3"><img style="width: 4px; height: 221px;" alt="" src="images/download_pin.gif"></td> <td colspan="2" rowspan="1"><span class="BigBold">Buy It Now<br></span><span class="Default">Ready to purchase?</td> </tr> <tr> <td><img style="width: 61px; height: 61px;" alt="" src="images/system.gif"><br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> </td> <td style="width: 245px; height: 8px;"><span style="SmallBold">Requires a PC running Windows 3.1, 20GB of RAM recommened.<br><br> 10GB of disk space required for the installation files and 2000GB recommended.</span><br> <br> <br> </td> <td><a href="http://www.somecompany.com/support.php"><img style="border: 0px solid ; width: 61px; height: 61px;" alt="" src="images/service.gif"></a><br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> </td> <td style="width: 250px; height: 8px;"><span style="SmallBold">Today was the first day that I everToday was the first day that I ever<br><br>Today was the first day that I everToday was the first day that I everToday was the first day that I everToday was the first day that I ever<br><br> <a href="http://www.somecompany.com/support.php">Click Here...</a></td> <td><a href="http://www.somecompany.com/purchase.php"><img style="border: 0px solid ; width: 61px; height: 61px;" alt="" src="images/buy.gif"></a><br> </span> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> </td> <th style="width: 245px; height: 8px;"><span style="Small">Today was the first day that I everToday was the first day that I everToday was the first day that I ever.<br><br>Satisfaction is guaranteed.

My knowledge when I started 2 weeks ago was totally non existent so have had to teach myself as I've gone along. I put my first (index) page on my server and have now noticed a few problems - My screen has to be scrolled across to see the entire page on my other computer but is ok and fits the screen on the computer I am making the site on and the javascript I put in my page doesn't show up. My dad advised I use an online html checker which showed 7 faults and said I had another 20 that it didn't list. I tried to understand and correct as it suggested but really don't understand a lot of it at all. It's disheartening me so much I feel like I could just quit it but I really have worked hard at it so far and would love to get it working. Is it possible for someone to checked the source of my page and tell me where I'm going wrong? Or does someone know where I can get it checked and rectified? I know its asking a lot but I can't think who else to turn to for help. My site is www.create-a-blind.co.uk Thanks for reading, Debby. Hi I have problem with IE7 at present with a HTML table. The problem may span beyond HTML tables but basically the colors are coming out all wrong. Firefox is fine, I'd hardcode bgcolor="red" and it comes out red. In IE7 it comes out blue however Most other colours apart from black and white are the same. Does anyone know what is causing this? Hi, I just changed some content in the middle of a oscommerce php page that I have been working with for a couple of years. I frequently add or change content in a table in this page. http://www.leavemeb.com/index.php Today, I added new stuff, pics, etc and used percentages in the tables to space things out well and so that when someone expands or condenses the browser window, the content adjusts accordingly. Now, in IE it shows up perfectly, yet in firefox on my mac it is very spaced out and can't even fit the whole page across without me having to scroll to the right to see the right collumn. Can anyone help me see what is not working here? I would be very grateful. I can't seem to see it. Nichole hi there i am sonniya , i am a graphic designer,now a days i m working on web site project ,for this i need some php training can anyone suggest me about any site where a can have php training for free. ll be thankful to you for this . .. |
