HTML - Complete Noob Need Direction
Hi All. I am building my first website from scratch. The layout is basically broken down into 5 divs:
header, top menu, left menu, content and footer. You can see a rough draft which I made using Joomla he http://www.petiot.dnsalias.com/LRL/ (hope the page is reachable) I came to ask myself very very basic and general question for which I need directions more than detailed answers really: What is the normal approach for website content display? 1 - having as many web pages as their are possible menu configurations (e.g. mainlink1/sublinkA mainlink1/sublinkB mainlink2/sublinkA mainlink2/sublinkB etc etc) and load them according to which link the user click? 2 dynamically changing the content of part of the page (i.e. left menu and content) according to the link the user click in the top and left menu respectively. I feel the second approach is the right one, but I think I am missing something. I know how to change the text content of a HTML tag using javascript. I also read about frames that allow to load a page within another page, but I understand that frames are not so popular. I guess my question is: Is it possible to dynamically change the content of a div by loading the html code contained in a separate html/css files? (so for instance I could only update the left menu and content div when the user click on a top men link) if not what is the right way of achieving the same result? Any links or even general keywords I could google would be welcome! Many thanks, Similar Tutorialshi all, i have just written a book and am putting it online. i have some groovy buttons but want them to change when hovered over and also depress or change when clicked. can one of you experts give me the code for this pretty please. we could take it that: A.jpg = normal button B.jpg = when hovered (mouse over i think in your expert world) C.jpg = when clicked also i would like to know where and how the code looks to 'download XY.PDF' please help us on planet noobian, we are at a loss. I'm currently designing a website for my local business. Right now I'm designing everything is Adobe Photoshop. When I'm done, I'll import it into Adobe Fireworks, then cut it up and I export it into .html. It's going to be a pretty basic and small website but I need help with one thing. I plan to have coupons and reference numbers (for different forms of advertising). I want to have an input box for a customer to enter into the box then click a button. I want that button to redirect them to a different page depending on the input. In other words, if the code is 000628 then I want it to redirect them to www.myurl.com/000628.html. How would I go about doing this? Is this something I can even do using simply html? Thanks for the help!! Hello all, I have a few questions regarding html forms. Now I have been using HTML for years creating very basic sites. I know how to create the interface for forms, radio buttons, text boxes etc. However I have NO IDEA how to properly get them working. I'm working on a page that has a few elements I'm not sure how to create. I basically need a page where you submit a line of data consisting of drop down boxes, radio, free text... and when you click submit it appears on the page. (Please see attached for a better explanation) I also want to be able to view, edit and delete submissions as appropriate. Any idea how I could go about doing this? I am learning web design and I need to know what I need to learn. Let me see if I can explain the concept that I would like to learn: I want to have a site where a customer fills out a form and then the information on that form gets placed on its own page. Does that make sense? I remember once seeing a CGI script for a website that would self generate new pages, but I can't remember what this concept is called. Thanks so much! Marie Hello, I'm a bit stuck with how to code this so if anyone can rattle this off in seconds I'd really appreciate them doing so: Rather than have visitors to my site click on a flag to visit a page based on their country of residence I want them to click one URL, then the code on this page work out if they are from UK, USA, or any other country and re-direct them to either page 1, page 2 or page 3. Is there a way for this to be done? Thanks. Hello. I just joined the forums because I want to start making websites again. I used to do it about 3 years ago ( nothing hardcore), but i knew enough to make basic websites. Now, I want to learn the more indepth stuff. Such as Mysql, perl,css,java, javascript etc... i dont even know what someof those are. So heres my question. WHERE SHOULD I START? I want to start from scratch. I dont even rememeber some of the html stuff, so where do you guys think i should start? what are the fundamentals i need to know in order to move on to the more difficult stuff. One last thing, can someone tell me the difference between html/xhtml/xml.. im kinda lost... I have to create an html table with a script and make every cell clickable,so that it can summon an other function. I can create the table but the clicking part is a little confusing for me. I mean, in a script we can't use tr and td,right? Therefore we can't use events, right? Then how can we solve this? Hi I heard about html important. But i have doubt in html we can develop a website without help of other language. So plz clear me it is possible we can develop a site completely httml or not. Any idea or suggestion will be aprreciated. thanx I'm new to HTML and still working around it. However now the problem im facing is i've created a normal one pager with simple checkbox's, hence if the user selects the checkbox it changes its color to green, if its not selected it remains red. Anywayz im trying to figure how to email a complete copy this page into a email (outlook) being the defualt email client and IE8 used as the browser. i.e if i only check 5 out of 9 selections, it should show me the exact copy/style in a email format. Once the user hits submit the email shall pop up with whatever selections made and highlighted. Would appreciate assistance in advance. Im too sure if there is anything else i need to provide or mention. I have zipped the html file have attached to this thread. P.S : created this in MS Word and manual editing done via notepad. Im a beginner so please if anyone knows let me know. Im actually learning for free on w3schools.com and e-learningcenter.com but now, Im willing to buy me a complete course even though I know I can learn for free. Thank you so much! So here's my site http://canadianhabbo.com/ Now when you make the screen smaller everything moves together, make it bigger and it looks normal... I'm wondering how to make my images stick... this is the code I'm using to align the main image where I want it. HTML Code: <span style="position:absolute; z-index: 1; left:15%; top:30.5%"> <img src="http://canadianhabbo.com/images/mainimage.gif"/> </span> Try it yourself drag the window smaller and larger and you'll see what I mean. ;] Basically the only reason I'm worrying about this is because people with 800x600 setting will most likely have problems viewing it. Hope someone can help. aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa I'm pretty new at creating websites. This is officially my first "REAL" website. I've tried to set up a kind of "league" for Halo 3 players from Kentucky. There are a couple of things I want to do with this site. 1. Make it possible for members to sign into the site. 2. Have some kind of program that will track stats from games that are played between the teams (I'm hoping for some kind of program that I can manipulate offline, then upload to the site which will automatically update scores/ranks/etc. I realize that this may not be possible. Don't judge me too harshly... I am a noob after all...) 3. A professional "feel" to the site. I would have the page professionally designed, but the people that do that in my area make horrible looking web pages. I would have it designed by someone on the web, but usually people ask for money that is far outside of my budget. The work that has been done so far has been done by me during any spare time I have away from my job. If you want to take a look then by all means go to http://www.ekhlonline.com . Any kind of help that you could give me would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hello everyone, I have got a very noob questions which I tried to look for an answer from the internet but I couldnt get a result from the search engine. I hope u guys here around are professional and could be able to help me out with it. I want to know if I could hyperlink multi-areas on only one file. For example, I have an JPEG image which has couple of pictures on there, and would like to hyperlink each of the photos into different links. If yes, how to do, any specific site that teaches this techique. I needed it so badly and really hope u guys can help out. THanks alot in advance! Is it possible to loginto this site by using the url? https://secure.tibia.com/account/?su...&page=overview Like the same way you can turn this: http://www.tibia.com/community/?subtopic=characters Into this: http://www.tibia.com/community/?subt...&name=testname You know what I mean? Been tryin to figure this out for hours Greetings. My name is Sodredge and recently I have become the largest humbled webmaster out here. All of my forms have taken a dump and it has been so long since I have written a real one out that I have forgotten most of the process. As odd as that sounds. I am looking for some general help. I have looked on the net though can not seem to find a page where someone has taken a form from start to finish. I can write a form no problem though I am unable to make it work when posting. I recall I need a "handler" I have that written out, in an ending tag or .cgi also .pl and my HTML form co insides with that written out handler. I have placed the .cgi and .pl files into my cgi-bin folder on my server and posted my forms though when the submit button is hit all I get it the "Forbidden & Not Authorized" responses. I really need help, can anyone recommend a site or some links or anywhere I can go to relearn the back end of forms ? I am so lost and this is so humbling. I do not want to go and dust off my Front Page, because that just seems more trouble then it is worth. Any takers ??? What Im trying to do is create boxes with curved corners. I can't see to figure out why the top left corner is not showing up, or the gaps in the border along the sides. I tried posting for help in the CSS forum but didn't get any response. what Im not understanding is how the code knows what graphic to pull from the sprpanelcrns.png file for the various corners. So if someone could explain it to me or provide me with a link or url that has an explanation I would greatly appreciate it. http://surrenderyourwings.com/tester/tester.html ok so i wanna put font and pics in different areas of the page. Like what if i wanted to put it between left and center so align wouldnt work. The only way i know is using the whole   but then my code is absolutly cluddered with that. I checked out code for some other sites like video game ones. I oculdnt understand it lol but i didnt see mass abouts of non breaking spaces. Please help |
