Here's my code

The Olympian gods were the main deities in Ancient Greece. After overthrowing their ancestors, the </br>
Titans, the Olympian gods became the rulers of the Cosmos representing the civilization of the </br>
world.The Olympian gods were majestically and democratically dwelling on Mount Olympus, the </br>
highest mountain in Greece, built by the Cyclops.The leader of the Olympian gods was Zeus.</br></br>
<br>
</br>
All Olympian gods were associated with birth myths but themselves were unaging. They lived inside </br>
human-like bodies with an ethereal fluid called ichor running in the veins. They had passions </br>
and human weaknesses and were many times at fault, but were then obliged to take </br>
the full responsibility of their actions.</font>

goodness, been a couple months since ive done html, but im back and I got a question...

So how do you put text in an image because I have a background color, and I have an image that's a different color, but I want to put text in the image, so how do i do that???

Thx

I feel really dumb asking so elementary a question, but ya' gotta start somewhere. I'm trying to format a blog site for my coworkers. It's been a few years since I have done any web work. Anyway, I wrote up a very simple little HTML doc, but when I open it in my browsers, I just see code. The code is below.

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">

<h2>Thoughts on the Day</h2>
<body>
<p align="center">Walking down the street today I met a man selling the <i>Spare Change</i> newspaper. I gave him a couple of bucks for a paper and, unprompted, he proceeded to tell me all that had happened with him in the past week. He had spent some time in New York with an old friend (maybe a relative, I'm not entirely sure), and had just returned to Boston. I was struck the immediacy of his comfort with me. He had nothing to hide. He had nothing of which to be ashamed. He just wanted someone with whom to share, who would listen.
<br>
Unfortunately, I was on the phone with my mom. I was hardly attentive. Not impolite, just distracted. Later I felt bad. I could have called mom back. I could talk with her anytime. instead I turned my ear back to my phone and bade the man a good day. I was reminded today of the prayer of St. Ignatius in dedication of the day:</p>
<blockquote align="center">
Father, I dedicate this new day to you;<br>
as I go about my work.<br>
I ask you to bless those with whom I come in contact.<br>
<p>
Lord, I pray for all men and women<br>
who work to earn their living;<br>
give them satisfaction in what they do.<br>
<p>
Spirit of God,<br>
comfort the unemployed and their families;<br>
they are your children and my brothers and sisters.<br>
I ask you to help them find work soon.<br>
<p>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- St. Ignatius Loyola

There ya' go. What'm I doing wrong?

I am trying to get the copyright symbol into my web pages.
It works fine in the HTML program but in firefox it becomes a '?' and in ie it becomes a square.

The method I tried was using '&copy'.
Can anyone help me out?

Very simple question here. I'm pretty inexperienced with html, past the basics.

I have copied the source code of a webpage into a text file and alltered it. I would like to open the file in Firefox and view this as it would appear as a web page. How would this be done? I have tried opening it as an html file, but the text only appears as the source code.

How can I create an HTML file on like a word processor, and then save it as a file and upload it to a hosting site?

For a bold font - I switched from <b> to <strong> - is this the correct way?

I've decided to make a personal photography portfolio on my computer, and have thought that the best way to do this would be HTML.

My problem:


See the above image? The items in red circles are just copied and pasted from the original in the top-left. What I want to know is how do I actually get them there in HTML? I think it's something to do with tables, but as I'm practically brand new to HTML I'm not sure.

I have a ZIP file below with all the necessary files, just unzip the online folder and edit the 'index.htm' file if you want to do it all yourself for me. Otherwise, you can use it to have a look at the coding I've used (partly taken from a free HTML template website, I admit ). Thanks very much in advance for help.

I seem to be having some issues with getting my table to appear as Id like it. This is a small sample but right now everything is just ontop of everything else..I would like the whole " sunday" stuff to be to the left of all the "monday" stuff. How would I set that up?

Thanks for the help

PHP Code:
<p><strong>Weekly Events</strong></p>

<table style="70%;">

<col style="width:20%;
color:#000000;
background-color:#CCCCCC;" />

<col style="width:80%;

<tbody> 

<td><strong>Sunday</strong></td>
<tr>
<td>Event</td>
<td><input type="text" name="sunday_event" size="40" maxlength="40" value="<?php if (isset($_POST['sunday_event'])) echo $_POST['sunday_event']; ?>" /></td>

Experimenting as a newbie, I put the code below together. The images are in a folder named images. The first image "home" comes up OK and rolls over to home_on.gif OK as well. But the second images do not come up and their location is just a small blank square. Help would be appreciated.

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Image Rollovers</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<A HREF="index.html"
onMouseOver="document.images['home'].src='images/home_on.gif'"
onMouseOut="document.images['home'].src='images/home.gif'"
<IMG SRC="images/home.gif" BORDER="0" NAME="home"></A>

<A HREF="index.html"
onMouseOver="document.images['link'].src='images/link_on.gif'"
onMouseOut="document.images['link'].src='images/link.gif'">
<IMG SRC="images/link.gif" BORDER="0" NAME="link">
</A>

</BODY>

I'm sure this is simple but it's got me baffled! I am basically trying to put a link to a jpg in a text description box using the following code:


<mg src="http://i310.photobucket.com/albums/kk437/timpotter_photos/Apex/The_Apex_Researcher_Fixed_2009.jpg">

however, for some reason when I go back to edit the text it is displayed as:


&lt;img src="http://i310.photobucket.com/albums/kk437/timpotter_photos/Apex/The_Apex_Researcher_Fixed_2009.jpg"&gt;

Is there a way of stopping the < and > characters from changing to &lt; and &gt; because at the moment the code is just appearing on the screen in the description rather than the picture I'm linking to!

any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Hi.

In a table data I have four lines of text each line separated by a <br>
The text are different font sizes. The issue I am having is that the lines have space between them above and below. How do I get the lines of text closer together using simple html?

text line 1
|
(this space)
|
text line 2

Regards

Hi everyone-

I have a pretty simple question, I think. I made some banners for my site to add on put I'd prefer to have them stay on the top of the page even when you scroll down. Currently, I have them as a background that is fixed in one position but the only problem is that all of the rest of the page's content goes on top of the image. I would prefer not to use frames so I guess I am asking is there any other way to keep something at the top of the page and on top of everything else and/or is it possible to have you're background image remain on top of the rest of the page's content?
Thanks for your time-

Hello, im working on a small website project for me and my coworkers, none of us are very good with HTML and i'm trying to figure out something that I am sure is probably a simple thing to people that know this stuff. I have two forms, "box1" and "box 2", and I want both of the inputs to save to a text file when the person entering hits "submit". I'd also like the "submit" button to redirect to another page following the saving of the inputs to the text file... i'd apprecate any help you can give me Ive been searching google for a while but its just confusing me.
