HTML - Meta Tag Html Confusion
Hi, I've been looking at a friends website, built by a design company, which is not gathering much in the way of hits. I've noticed that the keyword and description tags are in single quotes, rather than double quotes. An html online check tells me that there are no tags on the page. Can anyone tell me whether this use of single quotes would stop a searchengine seeing the tags, please? Or do I need to look elsewhere for the problem?
Ian Similar TutorialsOkay, I have a problem. I haven't been doing this long, but when I coded my website, it looked fine the way it was (in Firefox), but I recently checked the look in Opera and Internet Explorer, and the whole layout falls apart. I have no idea what the problem is, can anyone suggest some possible problems? Here is the URL: Homepage EDIT: My message was over 10,000 characters, so please view the source code. Thank you. Hi all! My web-site is registered on a free-host. Since the host is free, it has a streak with hypes at the top of the page. It's a frame which opens every sub-pages "under" the frame, so it stays visible whatever you click on. I guess it's familiar for everyone. So, for example if I make a reference to "gallery.html" with "<a href="gallery.html" target="_blank">" The frame goes away of course, and I can make the streak disappear. My question is, how can I do this with the index page, so I type my website address: www.whatever.host.com and it opens the index page, with the frame, but with a script it automatically loads into "_blank" only once. This line reloads the page automatically: <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="2; url=http://www.whatever.com/"> What tags and how should I add to this, to get it work so it loads into _blank when it gets called. Any solutions are welcomed. regards, Adam I am totally confused about DOCTYPE code. My site does not have any doctype code on it and works fine, however been playing about with some jquery script and it wanted a doctype on my site to work. I have tried all the different doctypes listed on the w3 site and all make my site look strange and text/images all over the place the only way the site looks ok is without doctype. please advise the site in question is http://virtualhunterston.eu.org example test page with doctype added http://www.virtualhunterston.eu.org/...0-%20Copy1.htm Hello all. This is my first post here. I have a question regarding tables, divs, just basically anything to do with that area, etc. I am making a simple javascript calculator, and what I want to do with it is put it in a table. Just simple forms, buttons, tables, and divs. My problem, however, is that I need to have the operators (add, minus, subtract, divide buttons) centered along the bottom across. Right now, the code is causing the buttons to be in somewhat a "grid" and stuck to the right side of the table. I've tried <div align="right">, i've also tried <td align="right">.. Yet with no luck. I kindly ask for anyone generous enough to help me to please review my code I'm going to paste into this message. Thanks for reading. tl;dr: I need the buttons on the bottom to be centered horizontally, not stacked and positioned in the right side of the table. ps. if I was unclear about anything, please ask me, and I will try my best to explain. index.html Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "~//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <title>Document Title</title> <meta name="Generator" content="x" /> <meta name="Author" content="x" /> <meta name="Keywords" content="x" /> <meta name="Description" content="This is a simple calculator" /> <style type="text/css"> body { background-color:#d0e4fe; } #btnadd { background-color:white; border-color:#0000FF; color:blue; font-size:15px; } #btnminus { background-color:white; border-color:#0000FF; color:blue; font-size:15px; } #btndiv { background-color:white; border-color:#0000FF; color:blue; font-size:15px; } #btnmult { background-color:white; border-color:#0000FF; color:blue; font-size:15px; } h1 { color:orange; text-align:center; } p { font-family:"Times New Roman"; font-size:20px; } </style> <script language="javascript"> function fadd() { var first,sec,res; //Take the value of first textbox and convert it to float first=parseFloat(document.forms[0].txt1st.value); //Take the value of second textbox and convert it to float sec=parseFloat(document.forms[0].txt2nd.value); res=first+sec; //show the result in alertbox alert("the result is "+res); //show the result in the result textbox document.forms[0].txtresult.value=res; } function fminus() { var first,sec,res; //Take the value of first textbox and convert it to float first=parseFloat(document.forms[0].txt1st.value); //Take the value of second textbox and convert it to float sec=parseFloat(document.forms[0].txt2nd.value); res=first-sec; //show the result in alertbox alert("the result is "+res); //show the result in the result textbox document.forms[0].txtresult.value=res; } function fdiv() { var first,sec,res; //Take the value of first textbox and convert it to float first=parseFloat(document.forms[0].txt1st.value); //Take the value of second textbox and convert it to float sec=parseFloat(document.forms[0].txt2nd.value); res=first/sec; //show the result in alertbox alert("the result is "+res); //show the result in the result textbox document.forms[0].txtresult.value=res; } function fmult() { var first,sec,res; //Take the value of first textbox and convert it to float first=parseFloat(document.forms[0].txt1st.value); //Take the value of second textbox and convert it to float sec=parseFloat(document.forms[0].txt2nd.value); res=first*sec; //show the result in alertbox alert("the result is "+res); //show the result in the result textbox document.forms[0].txtresult.value=res; } function pushButton(buttonValue) { if (buttonValue == 'C') { document.getElementById('txt1st').value = ' '; document.getElementById('txt2nd').value = ' '; } else { document.getElementById('txt1st', 'txt2nd').value += buttonValue; } } </script> </head> <body> <form name="cal" method="post" action=""> <table width="310px" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="20px"> <tr> <td width="40%"><div align="left">Enter 1st number </div></td> <td width="81%"><input name="txt1st" type="text" id="txt1st"></td> </tr> <tr> <td><div align="left">Enter 2nd number </div></td> <td><input name="txt2nd" type="text" id="txt2nd"></td> </tr> <tr> <td height="28"><div align="left">Result </div></td> <td height="28"><input name="txtresult" type="text" id="txtresult"></td> </tr> <tr> <td height="21"> <div align="left"> </div></td> <td width="100%"> <input name="btnadd" type="button" id="btnadd" value="Add" onclick="fadd()"> <input name="btnminus" type="button" id="btnminus" value="Subtract" onClick="fminus()"> <input name="btndiv" type="button" id="btndiv" value="Divide" onClick="fdiv()"> <input name="btnmult" type="button" id="btnmult" value="Multiply" onClick="fmult()"> <br> <input name="btnClr" type="button" id="btnClr" value="C" onclick="pushButton(this.value);"> </td> </tr> </table> </form> </body> </html> To further explain how I wish the buttons to be positioned: Go here > http://koderguru.com/tutorials/javas...culatorex1.php.

Many thanks in advance! Hi Hope someone can help and old silver surfer who is completely confused. I have built a site http://beautyadvicestore.com/skincare using dreamweaver with the following result. In IE7 the sales page is OK until 75% down when the black background obscures the print. This is the only fault apart from the fact I have not loaded one of the pictures (a small matter) In Firefox the sales page is OK all the way down but when I try to load the articles from 'Tips Tricks and Secrets' at the bottom of the sales page which goes to an article index page http://beautyadvicestore.com/skincare/articleindex.php the articles load without the graphics. I have tried saving the articles as html and php formats with no difference all graphics show in IE7 but not in Firfox. Strange thing is it is ONLY the articles that this happens all other pages are OK Privacy- about us- contact us etc. All have graphics. I have used the same template throughout only adding text. Can anyone help to show what I am doing wrong this is the first time this has happened in my limited experience. regards Hi, I'm trying to make a portfolio website where when you hover your mouse over a "thumbnail A", "image A" appears in a separate div and when you move your mouse off the "thumbnail A", "image A" goes away. I made it do that with "onmouseover" and "onmouseout" codes, but now i want to make it so when you click on "thumbnail A", "Image A" stays visible even when you move your mouse away using an "onclick" behavior code. But the code is getting confused by the "onclick" conflicting with the "onmouseout" behavior code, so "image A" still dissapears when you move your mouse off the thumbnail. Is there a way to fix this or a better way to do this??? Thanks!! Hey folks - Everywhere I've read states that if I give a series of checkboxes the same name, then upon hitting submit, I will get a comma separated list of the values. But, that just isn't working for me. I have this code : Code: <html><body> <form method="get"> <input name="input" size="30" maxlength="100" id="searchbox" value="test" /><br /> <input type="checkbox" name="referBy" value="td"/> Test driven a vehicle<br/> <input type="checkbox" name="referBy" value="dlr"/> Visited an autotmotive dealer<br/> <input type="checkbox" name="referBy" value="veh"/> Purchased/Leased a vehicle<br/> <input type="checkbox" name="referBy" value="ins"/> Purchased automobile insurance<br/> <input type="submit" value="Submit"/> </form> </body> </html> But, it results in this for the URL - ...../s_r2.htm?input=test&referBy=td&referBy=dlr Any thoughts Maybe I'm missing a step or a setting Syl Hi there guys, I'm a newb to forms in Dreamweaver, so any help will be appreciated. I would like a form on my DJ website that asks the potential customer how many hours they want a disco for, their location and any extras they want to have with the package. The form will then calculate the value of everything and give them a price. I would like to display this answer only after the visitor clicks on a button, rather than just have the information pop up/recalculate every time the visitor changes something on the form. Thanks guys! okey so one of my friends want me to make hes homepage up to date, and when i was looking trough the code i saw this meta tag, I dont realy know what it does so can any one help me?? Code: <meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft FrontPage 4.0"> Iv just created a website using CoffeeCup HTML Editer, but this is the first website which i have created using a HTML Editer instead of a sitebuilder provided by the hosting. In the sitebuilder i used for my old site, it provided what was called"SEO Wizard" which wrote the meta tags in the head for me. Now im using this HTML Editer, i have to write it myself.. On the template i used to start off, it provided the following as a start for me to enter the rest. <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <meta charset="utf-8"> <meta name="Description" content="Your Title"> <meta name="author" content="CoffeeCup Software, Inc."> <meta name="Copyright" content="Copyright (c) 2010 CoffeeCup, all rights reserved."> <title>Your Title</title> <style... I can see myself that i need to add some sort of meta tag for my "Keywords". Im also not sure if there is any other codes i need to add, or removed if needed. Could someone help me please? Thanks! Note: Im not asking someone to add my keywords for me, etc.. lol. Im just looking for help on how to write it & then i can fill in the "Specific Stuff" for my site. I'm trying to put a meta tag description on my homepage, but it's not working because when I search for it on google, a different description shows up.

Ok... I may have posted this in the wrong section but who cares anyway... I wonder if there is a way to add this <META HTTP-EQUIV="imagetoolbar" CONTENT="no"> "meta-thing" to all my HTML pages in my site. Can you add it to an external file or something??. The main point is that I don't want to include it in every single HTML file. Hi, I have a website which is in greek. I was making an application to appear in this website but I have a problem with the characters, they appear like ? I had this problem before but was solved by adding a meta in the head part <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> the files are in utf-8 format and this meta exists in my head part but they still appear like "?"

Hi guys, just a quick question regarding meta-data and metatags. After a recent overhaul of our google adwords campaign its come to light new search options inside of adwords regarding things like; search - broad search [search] - exact match "search" - phrase match -search - exluding search etc... Are meta-tags sensitive to this, and if so would this have an effect on search engine visability levels... now I already know some search engines do not use Meta-data... but for the others that do, it's most likely worth doing... Any help is much apprciated. Ben |
