HTML - Best Way To Format Large Amounts Of Text
Hi all,
I'm trying to set up a website for a campus journal that features longish essays as its primary content. I'm struggling to find a way to format large checks of text without too much work. I essentially want to be able to copy and paste 6-10 page essays from word and have them keep the formatting. Is this possible? Do you have any other suggestions for working with text? I consider myself more of an artist and less of a coder so your help is much appreciated. Thanks, Nick Similar TutorialsHi all, Just wondering if someone could help me with the following. I'm exporting large amounts of MySQL data onto a web page and basically what I would like to do is insert that data into a large textbox. I would have put the data into a table; however, if I have a tabel for say "NAME" I'm soon going to run out of space on the web page as I may return 100 of records for that one column. I thought I could simply have a large display window and this would have scroll bars on the side and at the bottom and I can dump my data into that. Can anyone tell me how I could creat such a table which would span the web pages length? I would also like to control this via CSS and make the colour within the text box grey. Many thanks Okay, so I've got this problem I need to work out... How would I go about posting a part of a book (a Mayan/Japanese/Spanish/English dictionary, actually) on a website? I'm sure the easiest thing to do would be to turn it into a .pdf and post it that way. The real kicker is this... How would I post it without allowing the viewer to save/download the file but still be able to print it? The reason for this is that I don't want people to be able to save it and publish it for themselves. While only posting about a quarter to a half of the dictionary helps this problem, it's still something I'd like to take into consideration. Any ideas? I certainly hope so, hah! This is perhaps not the most suitable for this question, but I have been given two html files that are saved 'reports' produced from a company system. Before anyone suggests it, they cannot be re-produced for me in a different form. The files are 75Mb each!! Very large html files. I have been asked if I can convert the rendered html view of the files (so not the html source code) to another form, for example RTF or PDF, or any form that is suitable. Other than www.htmltortf.com and opening the files in Office and exporting them, can anyone suggest any way to do this (Office cannot handle the file size, and HTMLtoRTF requires payment for the full version). Thanks Ted Hi I have a small PHP page, where I would like som VERY large text but I cant seem to get it above 7 Code: echo "<p><font size=7 color=red> $row[0] </font></p>" ; I would like it VERY big - like 40 Can anyone tell how to achive this?

This problem only occurs in IE. It doesnt occur in Google Chrome. I removed all the other code and only left the text and one picture there and it still does the same. Heres the link: http://www.jkdolniprim.cz/invalid/ I want the margin and padding to be 0px. Thank you for your help. so I have been working on this site trying to make it look like the image below how do I get the large portrait to the right of all the smaller images without messing them up? thanks in advance. http://i46.tinypic.com/64gxew.jpg Hi, I'm new to this forum and this is my first post. I have a large GIF image (2000x1000px approx) which is an interactive map. Since most screen resolutions will be less than this, is there any way to get the image to display centred rather than the bottom right-hand corner? I want 50 text fields for a form on a webpage. Is there a way to do this using a loop instead of manually writting the html code for all 50. I have tried this but it does not work. Code: <script type="text/javascript"> var i; for(i=0;i<50;i++) { document.write("<tr>"); document.write("<td>~address(i)~ </td>"); document.write("<td>~name(i)~</td>"); document.write("<td><input type="text" name="name[i]" maxlength="16" value="~name(i)~" size="20"></td>"); document.write("</tr>"); } </script> Thanks Hi All, We have images which are displayed in panel series. We have images if all sizes and width, we have tried using width=100% which makes all the images to fit the width allotted, which makes the image BLUR if the image is very small. Is there a way by which we can have width=100% for only the oversize images and leave the others as it is. Regards, Nagesh Hi, I have a pretty general question but i'm posting it here since it pertains to xhtml and content. As far as I understand the big deal about css is that it makes your sites flexible and lets you edit the layout and look of every page just by changing the stylesheet/s they are linked to. Is there a way to do this with content? What if I have hundreds of pages and want to add a link to the navigation bar? Is there a way to link templates and content to script the same way I link css? Thank you in advance and feel free to move this if this isn't the appropriate board. I'm looking for the coding to make a small (ex:100x100) picture to its NORMAL size i've found others that like when you click it it doubles it. not really what i want I want it so when you click on an image, a popup will appear with the regular size of an image. I'll even pic the sizes in manually if i have to (was suposed to be HOW to..not hot to lol my bad) Hi, Please can someone have a look at the photo's page on my site here http://www.leeds-cityscape.co.uk/. The page is made up of a frame, so that I can have an advert at the top of the page that scrolls down as the visitor scrolls down. The problem is that when you go to the page there is a large gap at the top of the page. I have checked the code, but I cannot see what could be causing this. Any help would be appreciated. I am trying to get my site off the ground and am having some kind of issue with a huge white space on the front page. You can see it he http://www.ripeforlearning.com There are two grey boxes - one is a search box and the other is an about us section. Below that, there is a red bar that is supposed to line up with the bottom of the boxes and then, it's followed by the newsfeed. For some reason, between the boxes and the red bar is a huge white space and I can't figure out what's causing it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance Comments on this post dawnblue2 agrees: Hey all, I'm developing a site that is supposed to display a large table (something like 1500 rows x 50 columns). Firefox renders it just fine, but IE takes ~3:00 minutes to render it. I can't even display a timer during this time since the browser is frozen while rendering the table. I have tried a couple of solutions so far: 1. Using the "table-layout:fixed" style property. ( http://blogs.msdn.com/ie/archive/2005/02/10/370721.aspx ). This doesn't work (I mean it works, but it still takes the same time to load). 2. Using javascript to build the table dynamically (using insertRow() and insertCell()). I gave up after 10 minutes. I'm trying to avoid splitting it up to several pages with 20 rows each, as the client (and my boss) requested this will be the last resort. Any ideas? My site is showing expanded not looking nice in big monitors. Can anyone help please. I think it is a container or sidebar problems. pl see the attachment. I will appreciate your help. Hi there. I'm just starting off in web design, and I am learning as I go along. I have been working on my site all day using Dreamweaver, but there is still one thing I am trying to do without success. Basically I have one Large image on a page, and I want to stack four smaller images vertically next to it on the right hand side. (shown in the attached image) I tried using a table, but all the boxes had the same dimensions. If I use margin to align the pictures, I cannot move the third picture underneath the small one. I realize I am going about this all wrong, but I have no clue as to how to achieve what I am trying to do. All I seem to find on the net is how to wrap text around an image. For example, here's what I did: Quote: <img src="images/Main Window Gallery1.png" width="517" height="395" border="0"><img src="images/small window1 gallery1.png" style="margin: 0px 0px 303px 25px;” width="132" height="92" border="0"><img src="images/small window1 gallery1.png"" height="92" border="0" align="absmiddle" style="margin: 0px 0px 180px 0px;” width=" valign="center"132> Any help is appreciated. Thank you. |
