HTML - I Keep Starting From Scratch
Similar TutorialsI have icons I made that I want to use for the nav bar, and I made a background image that I want to use, but I cant get it up properly. How do I make my nav bar scrollable and link it to other pages, and create those pages o.0? So far the code looks like this: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en"> <head> <title>Saad Ismail Digital Artist</title> <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" type="text/css"/> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <style type="text/css"> body { background-image: url(homepage.gif); } </style> </head> <body <h1 align="center"> </h1> <h1 align="center">Saad</h1> <p align="center">Digital Artist</p> <p align="center"> </p> <p align="center"> </p> <div id="wrapper"> <div id="inner"> <div id="header"> </div> <div id="navbar"> <ul id="nav"> <li> <div align="center"><a id="nav1" href="../website/About me.html">About me</a> <a id="nav2" href="../website/Illustrations.html">Illustrations</a> <a id="nav3"href="../website/Videos.html">videos</a> <a id="nav4"href="../website/Animation.html">Animation</a> <a id="nav5"href="../website/Photography.html">Photography</a></div> </li> </ul> </div> <div id="content"></div> </div> </div> </body> </html> </body> </html> Hi all, Basically, I'm an amatuer at this. I have created several websites, but most of them are through templates being edited on the likes of Dreamweaver. I have been creating my template, and I have finished the banner, then all the buttons directly underneith it. I have a background colour... and now I'm up to the the area the text is supposed to go into, directly under the buttons (home, contact, forums etc). I want this to be a different colour to the background colour, and for it to just be a box, 950pix wide, and go as high/low as I want it to depending on how much text is going on that particular page. I hope you all understand what I mean... I've got a feeling there is a possibility this might be a CSS issue, but I'm not 100% sure, so I didn't know which topic to put it under. Can anyone please help me? It would be much appreciated. I have been trying to figure this out on my own for hours now (I'm the type of person who doesn't like to ask for help ) I'd like to know 2 things please, which is FASTER, using templates and modifying to design sites or building from scratch? Next, which is BETTER, using templates or building from scratch? Ive been asked to fix up an old webpage. The old web master is a bit senile and can not complete the page. I had created a php page but the server is so old that it doesnt support php. I want a page with a simple leftnav and I need to add a photogallery with thumbnails... anyone have any advice for me? Are there any good free templates out there that could do all this for me? Or maybe some good tools? Thanks in advance Hi everyone, I've just recently started to teach myself XHTML and CSS and so far have been having a very enjoyable experience However I'm having problems with coming to grips with the various languages and software packages. I've just been using notepad so far and Photoshop for images. Is it worth just sticking with note and photoshop that or would their be more benefit from using a package such as Dreamweaver etc? Also I do intend to take it quite seriously maybe even as a job so which other languages would be most useful, Javascript or any others? Thanks a lot to anyone that replies Hello everyone, I'm a Computer Science student mainly trained in mathematics and programming languages like C/C++ and Java; I wanted to branch out more into web design and decided to start with learning HTML. So far, I've signed up for free hosting with Xtreemhost to give myself a sandbox to play with and familiarized myself with Classic FTP. I'm teaching myself using Sam's Teach Yourself HTML and CSS Eighth Edition. My main frustration comes from my understanding that HTML 5 is the newest standard, but the book I use is using XHTML 1.1 as the standard for teaching. Will this really make much of a difference? Is there anywhere/anything I'm better off learning HTML from if I'm just going to be learning a bunch of deprecated stuff from XHTML 1.1? It is also my understanding (correct me if I'm wrong) that even though the standard has been issued for HTML 5, browsers are generally slow to add in support for it. So does it really matter at this point in time what standard I am using (HTML 4, XHTML 1.1, HTML 5, whatever) to learn? Would it be correct to say that I can use XHTML 1.1 if I really want to, but if I want to take advantage of all the pretty features of HTML 5, I need to abandon some of my apparently deprecated XHTML 1.1 ways first? On the other hand, if not all browsers are at this point in time supporting the HTML 5 features, why create a website that uses it if it's not going to work consistently across all browsers? As you can see, I'm a little confused =/ I'd appreciate if someone could shed some light on this for me and give me some guidance on... well... where to start learning, really; my Googling gives me conflicting information. My plan was to learn HTML, CSS, and Javascript, then learn how TCP/IP works, pick up some proficiency in Photoshop and Dreamweaver/Frontpage, then branch out into server-side technologies like PHP, ASP, etc... I already have some knowledge of SQL from my database design and programming class. I did try learning from w3schools.com, but I have a sneaking suspicion that the material isn't quite comprehensive, which bugs me. Hello all, I am designing my first website and have taught myself the very basics of HTML/CSS but am at a bit of a loss where to start. I want to start by creating the layout. Is this the usual way? I want about 5 pages and so would like to create the navigation bar down the left and drop down menus at the top which will then link to blank pages - all laid out, ready for text/photos etc to be added. I realise that the layout should be created in CSS. Tables, I believe, are bad practice for layout design. What should I use instead? I am grateful for anyone's help to get me off the starting blocks! All the best Phil Here's my code in TextEdit: Got that first bit of code from horus' tutorial on this site. I saved it as a .html, then proceeded to open it in Google Chrome, Safari, and Internet explorer; all the same result. Why does it spit out this? Should i not be using textedit? I've been looking into the CSS, what about those? Hey, so I want to learn html and I was just wondering what books you guys would suggest starting out with? I'd like my MP3 file to play continuously, without starting over each time a new page is opened. Is there code for telling the mp3 to not start over when opening a new page? Here's the code I use now: <EMBED SRC="Jaded.mp3" AUTOSTART="true" HIDDEN="false" LOOP="true"> Thank you for your assistance! So I designed some websites in Photoshop and I'm still learning it, but recently I saw many people talking about Fireworks and how it is a way better way of producing web design work than Photoshop. They say FW is a more efficient tool, as it was strictly built to create web design. That in terms of web design, it can do everything Photoshop can, but in a more simple way. Is it true? If it is, I think learning Fireworks is a good idea. But..there are soooo many Photoshop tutorials and so much less Fireworks tutorials. And that's my second question: Can I apply Photoshop web design tutorials to Fireworks? I mean, can I watch/ read Photoshop tutorials and figure out how to do the exact same things in Fireworks? Heyy im new to all this but i was woundering if someone could tell me the HTML codes for a sucsessfull FORUM Because i have being usein these free ones but i think now its time to get my own real one please help me out Thanks Haydn |
