I have a document with objects positioned with Absolute values. I want to center the page vertically and horizontally. Is there any way to change the default X and Y, so that the page will display where I want it to?

Thank so much.

I was just curious when I make a form element, if there is a default name that is set to that form if I do not use the "name=" attribute".

I'm trying to put default values in my Input fields, which are text fields, of course, but I have numeric input values so I want them on the right. Is there any way to do this?

here's a snippet of my code so's you can see what I mean:

<form action="" id="calculate_form">
<div>
<table style="width: 937px; height: 438px;">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;
&nbsp; &nbsp;Height: (Metres) </td>
<td style="text-align: center; vertical-align: top;">
<p><input value="0" name="height"
id="height" />&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
</td>
<td>
Cement Price/20kg Bag<br />
</td>
<td><input value="7" name="cementprice"
id="cementprice" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Breadth: (Metres)</td>
<td style="text-align: center; vertical-align: middle;">
<p><input value="0" name="breadth"
id="breadth" />&nbsp;

and so on...........

Perhaps it can't be done in HTML? In that case, what could it be done in? i've got a javascript script on this page, to do the calcs.

Hi
Hope someone can help.
I am new to HTML and i am a bit stuck.
I have written a Java script to populate a text box with the contents of a directory and what I want to do is to display a gif or picture whilst the data is getting retrieved.

My code is (it is in a grid)
<TD><textarea name="files" cols="50" rows="20">test</textarea></TD>

What I want is to have the box show a pic as default until the script loads the data.

Thanks

I've got a website here that's split into two frames. The top frame is the header and the bottom frame is the page body. When I print, it only seems to print the header. How can I get it to print the body by default (i.e. without clicking on the body first)?

Is this code necessary if I only need zero for all of these, in any given table? Is zero the default setting if none is set? Can I just eliminate this code? FYI (It came as part of a table template.)

border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0 style="margin-top:0;"

Hi Guys,
I need to display a default image if a user doesn't upload one eg:
:::::::::Current Code:::::::
<img src="{src}" {width} {height} border="0" hspace="0" alt="{alt}"> //shows the image if a user uploads one

How can i alter the code so that if a user doesnt upload one it defaults to images/default.gif

Thanks

So i'm trying to change some of my default link colours, but everything that I have tried so far hasn't worked.

Right now, I have this piece of code in my body tag.

HTML Code:

link="#00CC33"

I don't know if it is correct or not, but how do I change the link colour? I've tried searching, but have had no luck at all.

On as in pre-selected when a page loads...

I have a tabbed content box using jQuery, but I want to show HTML upon loading that is not one of the actual tabs. Here is my code so far.

Code:

  <div id="tabs_container">
  <ul id="tabs">
      <li><a class="imgrep exceed" href="#tab1">tab1</a></li>
      <li><a class="imgrep fun" href="#tab2">tab2</a></li>
      <li><a class="imgrep envelope" href="#tab3">tab3</a></li>
      <li><a class="imgrep love" href="#tab4">tab4</a></li>
      <li><a class="imgrep ceo" href="#tab5">tab5</a></li>
      <li><a class="imgrep embrace" href="#tab6">tab6</a></li>
      <li><a class="imgrep shoes" href="#tab7">tab7</a></li>
      <li><a class="imgrep celebrate" href="#tab8">tab8</a></li>
  </ul>
  </div>

  <div id="tabs_content_container">

<!-- code I want to show as the default slide -->

  <div class="tab_content" style="display: block;">
  <div id="inside_content">
     <p class="inside_h"><span style="color: #00a7d1;">Our Recipes for Success</span></p>
     <p class="inside_p">Whether it's a simple assignment or basic interaction with one of the members, our goal is not to just be good, but be better than great.</p>
  </div>
  </div>
<!-- end default code -->

<!-- Tab 1 -->
  <div id="tab1" class="tab_content">
  <div id="inside_content">
     <p class="inside_h"><span style="color: #00a7d1;">Exceed Expectations everyday.</span></p>
     <p class="inside_p">Whether it's a simple assignment or basic interaction with one of the members, our goal is not to just be good, but be better than great.</p>

  <ul id="ingredients">
      <li>ingredients:</li>
      <li>2 determination</li>
      <li>1 positive attitude</li>
      <li>2 self-motivation</li>
      <div id="logo-blue"></div>
  </ul>
  </div>
  </div>

<!-- Tab 2 -->
  <div id="tab2" class="tab_content">
  <div id="inside_content">
     <p class="inside_h"><span style="color: #d18c02;">Have fun.</span></p>
     <p class="inside_p">We get to do the unthinkable - work and have a good time. We share that philosophy through. Fun is what makes it so invaluable.</p>

  <ul id="ingredients">
      <li>ingredients:</li>
      <li>1 passion</li>
      <li>3 positive attitude</li>
      <li>1 goofyness</li>
  </ul>
  </div>
  </div>
... more tabs...

Hi, I am learning HTML and CSS from scratch and I am curious about what the default values are for the many HTML tags that are available. For example, what is the default family-font and font-size for the "body" tag?
Thanks,

Is it possible to start a page scrolled down a certain amount automatically? Not through a link, just so that whenever someone visits the site, it is scrolled down that default amount?

Thanks!

I have a basic input box with a default value of "Enter Your Email Address". I am looking to have that clear as soon as the user clicks in the text area to type their address. Any suggestions on how to do this?
