HTML - Hopefully Simple Questions, But Please Help!!
I write for a weekly newspaper and am looking to make the web posts a little nicer on the eyes.
So, there a few bits of help I could REALLY use! I'll explain each but here's a quick rundown first: 1.) Wrapping text around a captioned image 2.) Single-line breaks in the caption 3.) The biggie -- a pop-up text box when a link is moused over. 1.) When I'm posting an image, a caption is almost always necessary. Here's the code I've been using for the image and caption: "<table class="image"> <caption align="bottom">CAPTION</caption> <tr><td><IMAGE LINK></td></tr> </table>" But when I post like that, there's a break between paragraphs to show the image, which disrupts the reading flow. I need a code that will let me post an image, add a bottom-aligned caption, and still have the story text print alongside the image. 2.) When posting images and captions using the above code, I'd like to have single-line breaks in the caption. "Name (new line), Job Title." Something like that. When I try this using "<br>" though, there's an extra line space between the two text lines. Surely this is a simple fix, but I'm no html expert. 3.) I'm willing to spend hours to learn this one. Somebody, somebody has to know how to do this one. OK, ESPN.com is the best example I've seen. You mouse over a story link, and a box pops up with a paragraph's description of the story. For someone looking to find new ways to boost hits on a news site, this is a priceless gem. If anyone knows how to do this or something similiar in HTML, PLEASE let me know. Edit: After posting this, I noticed that the same thing happens on this site. You highlight someone's post, and the beginning of the post's content is displayed. How do I do this??? Thanks in advance to each and every person who reads this, and a special thanks to those who take the time to help. It means much. aefattwotgm@aol.com Similar TutorialsFirst let me excuse myself for being so un-educated with HTML. Or any language for that matter.. I currently am starting a photography business and since Facebook is a great way to connect, I am in the process of making a professional looking Page via their FBML Tab (the fact that I am coding through facebook shouldn't interfere with my questions). There are two thing I am trying to achieve that I am sure are simple too, but I don't know how. Here goes: Question 1: These boxes are almost literally what I will be doing on my site. There are three images below this text, the first two you see are seamlessly touching horizontally. I need to know how to achieve this vertically also, with not even 1px between a top and bottom image (Here would be about a 2px space if I were to put <br> in my code [or return key]. But If I don't do something, the boxes would stay horizontal) Question 2: This is a mock-up of what the starting page will look like. In the blue box is my question. I hope this ^ made since. And the reason why I mentioned imageshack.us is because I dont have anywhere else to host images, so the code would have to accommodate several completely different image URLs. If any additional info is needed please lmk. I am pretty eager to get to workin on this. - Brandon 1. How to protect a HTML file to avoid to run it from other URL? (then I would encrypt the HTML) 2. How to avoid to run the rest of HTML code if a URL/picture is not found? I am creating my first web page through HTML using notepad. How do I view it (without publishing it) on a web page? What ive done right now is open internet explorer to a blank page (meaning not connected to the internet) and I thought id be able to view it by opening up view code and then cut and pasting my code into it that way. It didnt work! Im stuck and Im trying to get creative to find the answer but am not finding one. If anyone knows- a simple and VERY detailed explanation would be great! Im very new to the web- thanks in advance! 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- 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.

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.

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?

Hi, I'm having a couple of problems with the code on the website I am building. I tried uploading the stylesheet and index.htm but it would let me for some reason so here's the links to the problem pages: www.wotwebhosting.com and www.wotwebhosting.com/style.css Anyway, I cannot get the following to work: 1. The drop down menu at the very top is supposed to take the user to the page that has been selected immediately but it does not. 2. (This is a CSS problem) I would like the links at the bottom to be considerably smaller than the links on the left nav-bar. Also, the links do not seem to be responding to any 'text-decoration' command I give them in the css file. There is probably an easy solution to this but I'm very new to css! Also, does anyone like the scrollbar colours or should I leave it as the browser's default colours.

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 aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa |
