HTML - Who Can Give Me Some Advice?

Sorry if this is in the wrong forum, i have a feeling it is.

So you create a site for a client and that client has to update the page with whatever area they work in, maybe they work in real estate and have a new house on the market to add to the site etc..

Well i could easily write a php script that would add their content to the site, but i can image there could be errors somewhere down the line, what happens then, they phone you up to complan etc...?

So what content modifying tools/script do you use?

Hi, We have a large (over)complicated business website - I'm only testing it, so don't have any input to the code (I do have some html experience as I design my own websites, but nothing as complicated as the business one).

The live site works OK, but as soon as we work on the test or the live-contingency site, when we click on a link we are taken to the live site, so I think the problem is that the site is using absolute URLs rather than relative ones - I can't see all of them as they are off in the javascript somewhere, and the pages are so complicated I don't fully understand them anyway.

As far as I can see the options are
- keep it as it is and put up with the fact that we can't test a lot of the functionality (not very good)
- build a host file so that we are sent to the correct url (not very good because we're not properly testing the links)
- replace all the absolute URLS with relative ones - sounds good, although how we get the developers to rebuild the whole site (3000 pages!) I cannot imagine!

Does anyone have any other suggestions?

Thanks all

John

I'm a lover for making websites and I never used to be able to make my own designs, because I'm racking up experience I have started deisgning but I don't have enough HTML knowledge to code it.

the code for that portion is as follows...


HTML Code:

<div id="index_bottom_container_02">	
    <div id="index_right_text">
        <div id="text_header"><img src="images/headers/new/index.jpg"/></div>
	<div id="txt_index_02"><img src="images/index_text.jpg" /></div>
    </div>
    <div id="index_right_flash"><img src="images/footer_small.jpg" alt="sheridan footer" /></div>

Hey everyone! I own an airbrush graphics shop and decided to make my own website rather than pay for someone to do it for me so I've read a ridiculous amount of info on html but still need help. Heres my website twizteddezign.com I just got dreamweaver 8 and redesigned the site but uploaded from nvu because all my ftp settings were in nvu. Now for some reason I cant get the pages centered in dreamweaver or nvu (Im sure its something REALLY stupid) so could someone help me out with that? I know there are probably a hundred other things I could do better also, but like I said I'm an airbrush artist-not a web designer so any other tips would be great also.
Thanks in advance I really appreciate it.

I just changed the header on my main page http://www.bestsellersworld.com

The red bar on the left does not reach all the way to the top and bottom. How do I extend this to make it lok more even?

Do you think I need to make the background color where I have "All Reviews", etc.
at the very top a different color to make this stand out more or does it look ok as is?

Thanks.

I'm new to coding of all kinds and I was just wondering if there was a better way to do this.

I have my menu displayed through css.
But when I want to display another link through the <a href> it comes up formatted like my navigation bar.
Ill upload the .html file so you can check it out, it seems I have to upload it in .txt format.
Please help.

Thanks in advance,

Hello,

I'm trying to get as much help as i can to do with HTML ; I understand most of it all now thanks to alot of help on the WWB.

A quick question, My friend is on about me doing a portolio to help me get a job in web design - could anyone give me any tips of what to do or how?

Please have often told me to creat my own forum? or many a couple of websites?

& also does anyone know any good FREE web hosts?

Thank you.

Hello,

I have recently been asked to run the website for my church. (peacegaylord.org)

If you go there, you will notice how simple it is. If you look at the source, it is REALLY messed up. I asked the previous webmaster and he said all he had done was take the one created in Word by our pastor, and converted some of the tags to work with older browsers. What this leaves me with is very messy and jumbled code.

Now, what I really want to do is to simple re-write the entire site.

If I did this I would: Use a style sheet instead of in-line styling Use non-deprecated tags (Obviously) Change the layout completely General clean-up/re-styling etc.
Note: If I did this, I would try to make the entire thing HTML 5 compliant. However, a large amount of the people that use the site are older individuals, who may have old computers and therefore, old browsers. I know there is a way to make a browser recognize new tags by adding some javascript, but which tags would I have to do this with?

OR I could simply go through and clean the current version up.

What my question is: What would some of you do? If you would do the complete re-write, what kind of things would you add?

Just looking for some advice

Edit: The site is currently down as I am editing it a bit.
Edit2: Site back online.

Fist off I am somewhat new to HTML (mainly have used programs like Dreamweaver and such to create web pages). I am wanting to try and advance my skills a bit and create a HTML with some PHP code in it. My question that I have is about webpage formating.
I am wanting to have a header, footer, left column and right column that has the same data in it all the time. The main body of the page however will display whatever information I search for from the mysql database but the rest of the site (footer, header, etc..) I want to display the same each time.

What is the best way of going about this? I am not sure once I click the submit button to load the certain data from the database if I have to create a whole new page or if there is a way to just update the main body of the webpage with the results.

Sorry if this is in the wrong forum but wasn't sure if it belonged here in HTML or in PHP, I thought here was good.

Any help will be very helpful,

Thanks,

Scott

I am trying to get my pop-up opt-in form to appear on the left side of the screen, and follow as the reader scrolls down the web page.

My autoresponder is with Aweber, if that is important. All their pop-ups just appear in the center of the screen.

Can someone help me with this?

Thanks for your time.

Hey guys, i have a site i am doing for my final project for college and this is my first site. I like Web design so far and am enjoying it extremely. I would just like your advice on something i have come across.

Please tell me what you think of the site overall (1-10 rating)

Also my professor reviewed it and thought it was overall an A project but would like me to change/add a couple things. For example my banner is too long, what do you think about this? Also i do agree with her on this; that i need more wording on the inspirations page.

How do you guys think i should add this?

Any advice on making this site better and stand out more?

What do you think of the color scheme?

I need to design a webpage for selling livestock. I want to have a tabbed bar across the top with links to a page designated to each type of animal.. maybe 6 or 7 tabs in total. I also want a box at the bottom with contact information on every page. Each tab will just be a link a page with 5 or 6 pictures of animals and descriptions below them. What's the best way to do this? Should I even bother with CSS on a simple site like this.


I want the home page to look like this:


(tab for each of below)
home our farm horses horses for sale sheep sheep for sale

I know html basics but really don't the easiest way to do this. First thing that comes to mind is just making a table but idk. I'm just using a text editor to make it.

Thanks
