HTML - Adobe Incontext Editing Alternative

hello,
can anyone here tell me why there is so little html software for linux users?
I bought a linux pc and discovered that Adobe do not offer dreamweaver in linux.
There is also no other html editors I can find of any worth in linux.
does anyone know any?

I've got a website under construction at www.banffridgeestates.com. On the design plans page (www.banffridgeestates.com/design_plans.htm), I've got 9 thumbs for the user to click on and a PDF file opens in Adobe Reader. But just in case the user doesn't have Adobe Reader or some other PDF viewing application, is there a way for me to program the link so that it detects whether the user has such an application, and to open a JPEG if he doesn't have one?

Hi. i have a option menu that come behind the adobe pdf embed.

after open this link

http://thewebcodes.com/index.php?id=2

when we go to the first menu option, it goes behind (this only appens in Internet Explorer)

How could i solve it?

Thank's in advance

I hope this is in the right spot. Well I'm really loosing it becasue I think I wasted 4 hours on a webpage that I'm going to have to do all over.

The problem: I spread out a grid, then filled it with text boxes. Well it looks great until I upload it to the Internet, because all of a sudden I have huge gaps which spread it out, creating huge breaks within the document. I'm not sure what to do from he

Here's what it looks like:

Here's what it is suppose to look like (note, this is a capture in layout mode):

http://www.wellnessandpreventionoffi...ody/sample.jpg

Notice the big spaces that are coming in after the bottom bullet in each list. eventually every line will be a link similar to the word "Elementary" under Physical Education.

I'm open to any suggestions.
THANK YOU!

I am running the Google Translate widget from my local drive within my index.html.

When the widget tries to initialize , I get this warning pop up.

I am going to distribute this on a CD and would like to include Google Translate as a feature as its going internationally.

Google dont seem to do a non-flash version of this widget(?)


How can I get around this warning popping up when ran from a local drive ?

Hi, I have a problem with my fileserver which might take a long time to fix, it works randomly, so I was wondering if there was a way to supply TWO SRCs in ONE HTML string, both serving as ALTERNATES.

This is what I mean. Will this work? I tried to see if it works, and it does NOT work. How can I make ALT SRC work.

<img src="URL1/johnhall.jpg" alt src="URL2/johnhall.jpg">

Once again, what I mean is...if URL1 fails for some reason, then URL2 loads johnhall.jpg....that means the website reader does not face any interruptions. How to make this work

Thank you in advance for any advice.

Hello guys, ew to this forum and relatively new to the world of infinite coding! I have a small dilemma, in that my funky 'competition' boxes, when put onto my page, mess up all the other styling.

I have come to the conclusion that using <div> tags was a bad idea. I have a main CSS file called master.css controlling most of the syling, however the bulk of the text and content parts are made using div tags.

Being really difficult to explain, I'll post a link:
http://www.area51clan.seemeplayme.net/ben/test2.html

The code for this:
Quote:
<form action="competition.php" method="post" target="_blank">
<div><img src="images/competition.jpg"></div>

<div id="linkinput" style="background-image:url(images/competition2.jpg); background-repeat: no-repeat; width:180px; height:30px">
<input type="text" style="background-color: transparent; border: solid 0px #FFFFFF;" size="180" maxlength="150" name ="Forename" align="center"/>

<img src="images/competition6.jpg" align="center"></div>

<div id="linkinput" style="background-image:url(images/competition3.jpg); background-repeat: no-repeat; width:180px; height:30px">
<input type="text" style="background-color: transparent; border: solid 0px #FFFFFF;" size="180" maxlength="150" name ="Surname" align="center"/>

<img src="images/competition7.jpg" align="center"></div>

<div id="linkinput" style="background-image:url(images/competition4.jpg); background-repeat: no-repeat; width:180px; height:30px">
<input type="text" style="background-color: transparent; border: solid 0px #FFFFFF;" size="180" maxlength="150" name ="Email" align="center"/>

<img src="images/competition8.jpg" align="center"></div>

<div id="linkinput" style="background-image:url(images/competition5.jpg); background-repeat: no-repeat; width:180px; height:30px">
<input type="text" style="background-color: transparent; border: solid 0px #FFFFFF;" size="180" maxlength="150" name ="Answer" align="center"/>

<img src="images/competition10.jpg" align="center"></div><br /><br />
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>

This is what I want, on this page: [note that the lighter coloured parts are fields which do feed into a database and work.]

The little box on the right side with 'ABC' in it is where I want it. Alt > View source [in IE] will show you the HTML.

I wasnt sure if you needed the CSS, as Im not very good with that and it isnt my code, so here it is:

So, is there an alternative to using div tags, do I put the code in the CSS or is there something else? Sorry to be such a bore guys, but ive been trying this for ages and it just doesnt want to work...Ignore the content too - this is for my ICT coursework.

Thanks again guys, and sorry for the huge post!

Hello, I have an image that I want to make "float" above a small green bar, so that it sticks out above it. I have been able to achieve the effect with the <layer> tag, but the problem is that it only displays correctly in Firefox and not in IE. Also, I want to avoid the layer tag since it is not universally supported.

Here is an example with the layers: http://dqnmusic.googlepages.com/indexenlayer.html

Here is what it looks like when I try to avoid layers:
http://dqnmusic.googlepages.com/indexen.html

Is there away around the layer tag that can still achieve the effect I want?

I'm adding some ad sense code into my second side bar of my blog. However i have a large widget image which i have placed in my first (left) side panel and it's taking over both panels.

I'm un-able to add a widget into the second (right) side pannel as it overrights the code for the right side pannel for 'archives' and 'blogroll', which is fine. But i'm wanting to place some adsense code under my large image in the right side, but the ad sense code over rights the image!

So, i need to add a bunch of paragraphs to make it shift down lower, i'm using close to 30 <p<&nbsp;</p> so i can get the adsense code low enough to not cover over the left panels large image.

So i'm wondering, is there a smarter, or better way of getting this code down lower? I know i could use CSS and a margin, but i'm not really sure how to make that change. Is there a HTML way of doing this, or is the large amount of spaces i've put in ok?

Thanks!

PS. Whats with IE? My widgets are all over the shop and some aren't even showing??

I have a website build with frames. I have a section called "News" that I want to be able to put the most updated news in, similar to a blog. I want a blog style interface, that way I don't have to edit the HTML of the page every time I want to add a new piece of news. I do not want an SQL based blog however. I've looked into some PHP based blogs, but it "looks" too much like another website loading inside this frame (which I know it IS, but I don't want to give that appearance).

My website is *White* so is there a solution to adding new news in a blog style format without an entire blog inside the frame? I just want to be able to easily add new news to an HTML page without actually going in an editing the HTML.

How do other websites deal with adding news to a news page so that a client could easily edit their own news? Thanks!

I was wondering...
I really don't want to use Iframes on my website, because everybody tells me they're really unreliable.
What I'm trying to do is make it so that my site navigation code is in a seperate file than the rest of the page, so if I need to update it I don't have to redo fifty-something pages.
I've heard this can be done, but I have no idea how.

Hi - so I'm a bit of a noob to all this html business, but have done a bit of C at uni. Basically I'm embarking on a little home project trying to create a notepad web app- that way i can have it in my bookmarks, as an app on my iphone, as a webclip on my mac's dashboard etc. I'm hosting it from my dropbox, got that bit sorted.
I thought I had it sorted when i found contenteditable, but alas no ios support, so I was wondering if anyone new of an alternative, basically all i want is a text box thats editable, a save and a refresh button.

Any help greatly appreciated,
Thanks,
Geoff.

I am currently designing a site for my band, we require an mp3 player to be embedded into the site, but dont want the player to be reloaded (and therefore restarted) everytime a new link is visited - basically the music should continue to play no matter what "page" is visited and without interruption. The mp3 player we are using is xspf_player. I am able to use css and html fairly well and have a little experience with php.

I know one way to do it is to put the player in a frame and then all the other content in another frame and just have that frame updating when links are clicked, but I think frames are ugly. Is there any other way I could implement this feature, perhaps using php or css/divs? My thinking was to have all of the content on just one page and have different "sections" becoming visible or invisible but it seems too lengthy for such a simple problem.

Am I just being stupid and overlooking the simplest method?

Thanks in advance,
Matt

First, people were saying *frames* were bad for a lot of reasons... *then*...they were saying iframes were bad...for the same reasons!

So..if frames and iframes are so bad, what is the alternative that has the same functionality as frames and iframes (parts of the screen can change *and* scroll, controlling one side with the other like a 'menu' on the left and 'contents' on the right which changes).

On a phpbb3 style i want to add another href to the main menu across the top menu but i dont know what to do to change it, i know a bit of HTML but the way this is written i dont know what to do.

this is what i think is the main menu on the overal_header.html
