HTML - How Well Doesn Html Need To Be Learned?
In this age of programs like Dreamweaver and others, how in-depth should a person spend learning how to code HTML if he wants to get into this field? Sure, tweaking it will be the norm, but building a page purely out of HTML seems to be defunct.
I hope to learn some HTML because I see so many employers asking for knowledge of it, but also Dreamweaver, Photoshop, and Flash. I figured that between these, I should be able to build a decent website. Suggestions or comments welcome. Similar TutorialsHi, I'm not very advanced or anything, but I've coded websites before from scratch using Text Edit and an FTP client. I haven't done it for a few years and recently made a website with Cyber duck as the FTP client and SubEthaEdit as the external editor. I made a simple code for frames, and the site looks terrific on my Mac's Safari and Internet Explorer. When I checked it out on my friend's PC, it's just one big color background and nothing else. It also doesn't work on Mac's Firefox. I don't know what I did wrong, and how to fix the code to make it work on PCs or Firefox. Do PCs not recognize code that Macs do? Is there a way to change it? It's probably my fault, I just don't know what it's missing. I'd appreciate any help anyone has to offer, because I'm clueless and disappointed about it. Thanks, Jenny Basically I want to put this page "http://3d-story.com/Old-Afgan.html" into a 3rd party widget. When I place this 3rd party widget on my page I can scale the widget frame to any size I want, but the page within it doesn't scale. Looks like this "http://www.wix.com/mettam/test" What code do I need to put into my HTML code so that it will scale to the frame of the widget ? Here is an example of my code with in the widget.

HTML Code: <textarea wrap='soft' name='newsMsg' cols='20' rows='7'

And that is my textarea code. The problem is that is doesn't wrap the text when typing it in the textarea. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. Hi, I have to display the results in 20 columns, in that 14 columns are frozen, rest of them are scrollable, when I give table widht in % then scrollbar presents to view the data in Firefox. If I see the same in IE, it doesnt show all the data, and there is no scrollbar. If I give the table width in px form then to some extent I am able to see the scrollbar in IE, and minimum pixel I had to give is 3000 and above. Is there any common solution to me to fix this so that I can see same both the browsers. We would like to have solution, width in % not in px. Please let me know the solution for this. I have attached the zip file for your reference to see the code, please run in IE and Firefox and check it. Advanced thanks, Venkat I am using Kompozer to build a website for my business.

I know the files exist as there is no 'X' where the image is supposed to be but I can't see them. If I change to using a JPG then the images appear. My code is extremely simple and looks like: Code: <html><body><img src="images/test.png"></body></html> I have tried using width and height parameters but it only changes the size of the blank area. Does the <img> tag support PNG images? Is there some other reason why the images display blank? I am scaling the blue div based on the size of the red div, but also the size of the green div, and i just can't wrap my head around the right statement to make this happen. It can never be shorter than the green div, but needs to be as long as the red div... when the red div is longer than the green div. Hi, i want to open a new popup window after the link is pressed.

IE 7 just opens the link in the same browserwindow, although javascript is activated. Anybody knows why? Thanx... p-flash EDIT: I fixed it all! I just had unnecessary table indications. duuuhhhh. Hopefully my fix will help someone else with the same problem, though? Hi everyone! I am new here, so please bear with me! I found a few posts about this, but none seemed to fix my problem. First off, my website is he http://www.ashleywilliamsflute.com My problem is that the banner on top is set to be at 65% width. This works great in firefox and safari, but the image won't resize in IE. So, I tried using a css tag, too, and that didn't work. Here's the code I have: Code: <!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>

IE also doesn't use my text settings, like the margins I chose. I'm not sure how to fix this. I used to make websites a lot, but haven't in a few years, not since CSS was just starting to be popular, and I feel quite lost! I hope someone will be able to help me-you all seem very knowledgeable and helpful so I will cross my fingers. Thanks a lot, everyone! -Ashley Okay I have tested the following code in all browsers and IE is the only one that it doesn't work for for .html pages. It does work for .asp pages though. I do not want to use iframes. Any suggestions? <object type="text/html" height="100%" width="100%" data="http://www.websitename.com"> </object> Okay, I received some pictures from a fashion designer to use for her Web site. I first tested the code by using a different image that I found on Google and it worked. However, when I used her image it was broken. The next option I tried was I used my photobucket account and make an HTML reference to the image. Even when I upload it to photobucket it gives me an error. So...I don't know if it's still my problem or possibly she gave me the wrong product. The images were .jpg. Here's the image code I tried: <img src="/pictures/ct1.jpg"/> If it's not the code, then what can I do to make sure she gives me pictures that work? Hey all, I just heard from a visitor of my page http://www.randypauschsubtitles.de that the page doesn't work in IE and does only display the top frame with the title of the page. As a Firefox user, this problem is new to me. Unfortunately, I created the page with Dreamweaver/Frontpage and don't know much about HTML etc. What can I change to make my page work in IE too? Thanks for your help! I made two style sheets for my project. First one is style.css, and the scond one is ie6.css which is intentionally left blank. This latter (ie6.css) is, ofcourse, made specialy for IE6 and in HTML head section I put
Code: <!--[if lt IE 7.0]>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="ie6.css" />
<![endif]-->
I can't realise what's wrong, since when I preview site in IE6 it acts like conditional statement is not there. It should display page with no style, but still the page is displayed with style.css styling. You can check it out on: http://www.byethost.com/ for page is very simple. Thank's in advance! I have a very strange intermittent problem that I can not figure out. Sometimes, one image on my page does not load. When it does not load the image in the <div> next to it is in its place, and next to that image there is a blank spot the size of the image that did not load. The part that really confuses me is that when I view that pages source the <img> tag is there with the name of the image. The name of the image is rather long, about 25 characters long. The first thing I am wondering is if a long file name might prevent the image from loading. I doubt it... but, I don't know what else to consider. Here is what that section of code looks like: <div class="noBorder"> <a href = "http://www.luckygamez.com/"><img src="img/Lucky_Top_312_90_Bubble.jpg"width="312" height="90" vspace="0px"/></a> </div> Thanks, Matt I am a beginner in html and the problem is that the following html code is not working i.e. the code when pasted on a website doesn't get executed to display the image but shows the code as text instead. Other html tags display just fine. img src <http://i40.tinypic.com/1z5kwic.jpg> The image is in public domain. No firewall/ proxy is enabled. www.jessicaloewen.com You'll see at the very top that the alternate text "menu" shows rather than my jpg Why is this and how do I fix it? If you click "view image" it will open the proper image in a new menu. Hi there, I was wondering if someone could provide some help. I have designed/built a website, and for some reason - the "Flash" content doesn't always display in Internet Explorer 7+ Some pages do display the Flash, some pages dont. The website is www.shiftingsandsarabians.com.au Chrome, Safari & firefox all display correctly. It just seems to be Internet Explorer. The "Flash" content is displayed at the top on each page. Would appreciate any help. Thanks guys, -Brad |
