HTML - New User Saying Hello And Lots Of Questions
Well first off I would like to say hello to the community here.
I recently got an idea for a website. That with some time and hard work I think has the potential to turn over a decent profit. I just got the Domain name registered and Webhosting with www.fatcow.com I know just about nothing about html, xhtml , css all that stuff. I mostly used the computers to copy backup games for all my game systems. Then a collection of software. Then I run 5 computers on World Of Warcraft to bot characters. I've had to install 2 seperate comcast service plans and Verizon Fios to keep up with my computer demands. Also need the DSL to change ip's to AutoMouse free rapidshare points, Then accounts. So I do ok with computers, But this website stuff has my head spinning. I am intending to use Adobe Photoshop CS4 to Creat my template. Then going to try and use DreamWeaver CS4 to create the html ( if its called that..lol ) I've watched a ton of tutorials on the photoshop and finally got a basic template that I would like to go with. I am just paused at this time cause I was reading into the different screen resolutions. I created my template at 860 / 580 .. Also one at 955/600 I uploaded them both to my webhost background only, but they look so funny to me. Could someone help me to get the auto resolution going on this ? http://www.itemraffle.com is the site name. I you could view source and let me know what needs to be there. Its only like 6 lines long now. I also don't think I added the actual template I created in there the right way. I just saved the photoshop file as a jpeg then uploaded it the server and added a html image tag. Question 1 of I'm sure a million !! l Similar TutorialsHi, I am semi new to HTML coding, I have created several basic websites but I am currently working on a bigger web project. I am hoping to create a website that will get traffic, and I am trying to make it as legit as possible, but of course, I do not know how to do certain things, and help would definitely be appreciated So first of all, the website will be kind of like a news page, so I might very well be updating the main page several times a week with new articles, and as I update, I want the older updates to go to page 2, and articles in page 2 to go to page 3 and on...So it is like a Stack, but I just do not know how to express or code this in HTML or what have you. The second is I wish for people to be able to comment on each article. Now I am not sure if I want them to be signed up users or anonymous, but at the least some kind of system so that people can comment on the articles and talk to each other. Also a a side question, if and only if, the site began to get ads or something, where and how would they be implemented? I have extra spaces at the left and right sides of the website, so I am thinking they could just be implemented there? Sorry to all if these questions sound obvious, but I would appreciate any kind of help Thank you for your time! Hi everyone, I have a website that I update a lot. Most browsers though, remember the contents of the page for fast viewing next time. My problem is that there are a lot of people who go to my site, and think there is nothing new, becasuse they are really seeing the unupdated version of the site... and they don't refresh. I know about the auto-refresh HTML code... but I don't think that would be the right way to go here. Does anyone know of anything else I could do? Thanks. 1. Can I define two classes? For example: Code: <p class="one" class="two">Text...</p> 2. Can a class be defined as a number? For example: Code: <p class="1">Text...<p> Thanks. 01:: object won't touch the top of the page:: On my site, www.subliminalmusic.co.nr, I got a flash mp3 player in a frame at the top.. but, for some reason, the mp3 player won't touch the very top of the page. I want it where the mp3 player touches the very top of the page and is fixed in place instead of having a scroll bar on the right. 02:: how do you make frame1 close when frame2 browses off of the original domain?:: I'm wondering if it's possible to make my top frame, with the mp3 player in it, close whenever I go to an off-site link in the bottom frame? Where the top frame stays put whenever I browse my own site, but closes whenever I go to another website. It seems logical that I could make a list of safe-urls, or whatever.. something like.. where the top frame can recognize what's in the bottom frame.. and there'd be a list of urls in the code somewhere. If the url in the bottom frame isn't in the list of urls mentioned in the code, then the top frame closes. Is that possible? If so, can you tell me how to do it or point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance! -Anthony- I am a new member and I was hoping someone could help me. I have looked for answers myself, but I havent come across them. Question 1- How do I add a Scroll Bar Box to left side to slip the page into 2 sections, and How to add Links to it? Question 2- How Do I make the Screen not move off the page? So the Bottom scrollbar does not show up. Ex. If I am using Internet Explorer, and I have my Favorites up, and I expand the box, It makes the screen smaller, But the website also gets smaller, but you can still see evrything. I Hope you guys can help me. Hello everyone. Tho i am a new user, i need help on this one. 1)Does anyone have or know a ready rating and commenting system code that you can just stick on your HTML page? 2)Anyone know where to get Dreamweaver CS1+ for a pretty low price? I hope i posted in the right section. Please help me out! Thanks in advance! This is my site currently ... www.fortheloveinc.com (please click to see what I am referring to) 1st Question ~ As you go from page to page on my site, you'll notice the annoying banner at the very top of the page. The site is hosted by godaddy.com, but there must be a way to remove that from my site. All the advertisements as well. Is it because I am temporarily using the free host option when you first purchase a domain do you think? Just wondering how I remove all of that off of my site. 2nd Question ~ I've been using Photoshop, for the graphics on my site (the headers, and the clickable links). I would like to be able to fill my site, from side to side, and from top to bottom. How do I do this using html? Basically make use of the whole page, instead of just little portions of it. Thank you and I'm hoping y'all can help me out with these questions. Much appreciated. Hello all! I just started a site and I have two questions that would really help me out. First - I have a news section on my website that I want people to be able to comment on. I have searched the web forever on this, but I want people to be able to click the comment section below the article which will redirect them to another page where they can add/view comments. I also want people to be able to see how many comments have been posted on the original article. Whats the best way of doing this? Second - I have a sidebar on my website that provides a quick link to an article that has been posted. Is there anyway I can make that sidebar once and reference throughout the other pages on my website so I don't have to update each individual page? Thanks in advance for your help. p.s. the website is http://www.socomfans.com 1. Is there any HTML code that can allow me to create a newsletter for my website. So people can sign up with it, then whenever I want to send one out I just fill in some form for the new letter then hit send and it will send to all the people who signed up. Is there any html code to do this, if so what is the code? 2. I would like a link or something to useful html codes that I could use for my website. Hi guys I don't know if I should be asking these question here not still here we go, 1. I want to add the login and out box from the forums to my website homepage How can I do that??? 2. I want to put that search box from the forums to website homepage as well so if some member/user search the website they get the results out of forums. I hope I explained good Please ask for more information if you need Thank You so much. 1 ) After a lot of trial and error trying to work out why one of my form buttons was slighty out of place to where it should be i traced it to the fact i didin't have this at the top of the html, HTML Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> can anyone enlighten me here, all other elements seemed to be aligned up, but one button wasn't until i added this? 2) If you are linking to 2 different external css files, so HTML Code: <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="styleXXX.css" /> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="styleYYY.css" /> etc... and have say a same class in both but each class with different properties then what happens, for ex, you could have a body class in styleXXX.css as, HTML Code: body
{
background-color red;
}
and in styleYYY.css which also has a body class but different background color, such as, HTML Code: body
{
background-color green;
}
which one takes precedence ? So I'm fairly new to Web Development, but I know a few other languages (C++, C (of course), and a bit of Java). I've been digging around the web for some information about having permanent pages inside pages, but turned up little result. What I mean by this is having some sort of fixed page, that wont be reloaded upon clicking local links (Home, etc.)... For example, I stream over Justin.tv, and they have an option to embed your stream to a website. I would like to have this stream embedded on a fixed page so that when users click links to surf the site, it wont keep loading and reloading. Also, the stream will always be in view of the user. In a nutshell, I would like to have a header for the navigation links and banner, a fixed sidebar with the embedded stream, and a content part that would show the rest of the content for the site. I hope this isn't too confusing to understand, haha.. I tried to make it as easy to understand as I can, but I don't know all of the fancy web development lingo to simplify it. On my website http://www.ultdmovies.com. How do I change the height/width of the buttons that say home, contact us, movies, etc.? How can I add a seperate border under the video like the one under the "mission statement" so I can have other things down on the bottom? How can I add a colored border around Mission statement and the stuff below it? Good day all, I am the pseudo webmaster of my companies intranet site. I basically was the only person in the department that had any HTML knowledge after the last pseudo webmaster left. The intranet site has about 1200 pages, and was created using a top header frame. Since there are two departments using the same content pages, but with a different home page and header the frames work out pretty good. I have been wondering if a homepage that can be created which is not in frames, but when someone picks a link it will go into a framed environment. Basically I do not want the homepage to be limited by frames, but every other page I want to appear in a framed environment. Can anyone help, and let me know how this would be possible? Thanks CS Hey peoples, im new in the (x)html-"program", ive got some questions since i dont really know what it all means, i got a book of around 800pages here but i aint the "readingperson" to read it out... thats why i got a couple of questions that might look/sound stupid to you peoples, >what are tables? what can i do with it? do i have to use them? .... ? ....? >i want some kind of sidebar on my website, i just cant find what the code is for that in my book...? >buttons/keys/"links" to other pages on your site, how do you make them and how do they work? >this is only for when my site is almost done, but is it hard to make a loggin-register-forum ? thanks for reading this at least, greetings Robin (btw, im only 16, my English is bad, since ive learned it from computergames. sorry for that) Hi everyone. I'd like people's opinion on something. That something being layout design, or more specifically, width. When designing your website layouts, what width do you optimise your site for? Which technique do you find works best? I have had a tendency to make sites that are centered in the browser window and are optimised for 800px width screens, usually setting up the layout to be 788px wide, allowing 12px for a scrollbar if required. Another technique I have considered is the so-called Holy Grail liquid layout. With larger screens and half decent graphics cards now a lot cheaper than in the past, do you still optimise based on a 800x600 resolution, or 1024x768? I guess it can depend on the website's target audience as to how it is designed. For instance, a website aimed at a target audience of the elderly or younger children would need to have an easier to follow layout with larger text etc on screen. What are your thoughts on this? Hello i'm new to HTML and i have a few questions. I am using HTMLdog.com to learn the basics of html/css but i want to know if i should learn 1 at a time or both at the same time. Can HTML codes be used in the same file as a CSS or do i have to use the href linking code? Also if i do a CSS file by itself does it have to start with <html> and have the <head> <body> tags? Hi everyone. I am looking to engage someone in conversation about an HTML cut-up excercise I am currently working on. I have some basic HTML and CSS experience from several short evening courses I attended a couple of years ago, built myself a couple of very basic, amateur sites (I am interested in 3d modeling and built myself a couple of portfolio sites to show some of my models), and went as far as to fumble my way through putting together a practice e-commerce site using PHP/mysql/apache. This was all a couple of years ago now and I had thought web design was a thing of my past. But, in a slightly strange turn of recent events I put myself forward for an seo position at a local web dev company, and came away asked if I would be interested in a junior front end developer role. I am eager to take on this challenge, and have been given an html cut-up excercise to do as a barometer of my abilities. Everything I have ever done web wise, has really been from scratch, so this cut-up business is very new to me. I found several videos on youtube which all centred around the slice tool in photoshop, and then saving out the slices as an html and images file, to then fine tune elsewhere, in my case, Dreamweaver. I am conscious though, of not having an image heavy webpage, and also am not happy with the huge and complicated table that Photoshop coded for me as a result of all my slicing. So, does anyone have any experience with Photoshop cut-ups, and ideas to get the best results from the outcome. At the moment, Ive hand coded most of the buttons, so they are no longer images, and added links to them. But I got to a point where all the 1 pixel high 'spacer.gif's' were getting on my nerves that I deleted all of them. Then that left me with a very distorted and empty looking table, so I deleted all the table elements from the code also. So my idea from here is to use divs and absolute positioning to place all the leftover 'necessary' parts, how they look in the original psd image. Does it sound like I am on the right path? I assume there are several methods of going about a cut-up. Could anyone give me some advice? Ben Hiya I am designing my first website for a charity. I have learnt simple HTML but not that good yet so I am confused on two things: 1. Why can't I see my images, I have been building my site offline and linked to where the images are saved. The other day I could view them and today I can't, I have checked several times that the file route is correct and it is. So why do they just come up with a box and small red x? 2. How do you make words (such as menu navigation) change colour and pop out when you hover over them? I hope I have posted this in the correct place, forgive me if I haven't but I did not know where else these questions should do. Any help you can give and also sites that have cool example codes would be great. Thank you in advance Michaela |
