Okay, clearly I'm new to the forums, so I apologise in advance if I've posted this in the wrong section/shouldn't have posted it (I'm used to phpBB's forums anyways, our site runs that).

Okay, here's the problem. For our website, we need to upload links in the form of pictures etc. - stuff like 'go' buttons, info boxes etc.

So far, I've been making thm in fireworks with rectangle hotspots and the like. However, des[pite my various efforts, I haven't been able to get them to work. I it to do with the quality? E.g., do they need to be websafe colours (websnap whatever?), or is it the way I'm getting the HTML code. I'm aware that I can make more interactive buttons in flash, and I can do that with ease, but in this case, I have trouble with security settings, and whenever we attempted to upload it, it would not display.

Thanks for your help, guys, I hope you can work it out!

Hi Everyone- I was wondering if anyone has experienced the issue of fireworks generated dropdowns showing up behind form textfields. Is there any way to code around this? Thx

Hi,

I was wondering if someone could help me... I made a drop down menu using fireworks for the site http://www.lakehillsca.org/ and the menu works perfectly in IE. But when viewing the site in firefox, the menu positioning isn't right. The menu uses javascript, but I'm pretty sure it isn't a javascript issue. Is there anyone out there that can figure this out??? Thanks for your time.

I've made a lot of progress on my website:
Bands 4 Babes

but I'm still struggling with getting everything to look the same on all the different browsers.

Basically what I'm finding is:
Chrome and Safari (PC) - Displays exactly as I want it to
Firefox 3.5.2 (PC) - Displays properly except for the Home link in the purple bar is a few PX too far left and the --- above home is a line too high
Firefox and Safari on Mac - FF exhibit the same problem as above, but most fonts (sizes and faces) are off on the mac versions. This also throws off alignments of other stuff.
IE8 - Two solid lines on top and bottom of page are a few pixels too low which ruins the continuity of the box frame I created.

If somebody could take a look at my code and give me some thoughts on what the problem is I would really appreciate it.

Thanks.

Hi everyone,

I've just recently started to teach myself XHTML and CSS and so far have been having a very enjoyable experience However I'm having problems with coming to grips with the various languages and software packages. I've just been using notepad so far and Photoshop for images.

Is it worth just sticking with note and photoshop that or would their be more benefit from using a package such as Dreamweaver etc?

Also I do intend to take it quite seriously maybe even as a job so which other languages would be most useful, Javascript or any others?

Thanks a lot to anyone that replies

Hello everyone,

I'm a Computer Science student mainly trained in mathematics and programming languages like C/C++ and Java; I wanted to branch out more into web design and decided to start with learning HTML.

So far, I've signed up for free hosting with Xtreemhost to give myself a sandbox to play with and familiarized myself with Classic FTP. I'm teaching myself using Sam's Teach Yourself HTML and CSS Eighth Edition.

My main frustration comes from my understanding that HTML 5 is the newest standard, but the book I use is using XHTML 1.1 as the standard for teaching. Will this really make much of a difference? Is there anywhere/anything I'm better off learning HTML from if I'm just going to be learning a bunch of deprecated stuff from XHTML 1.1?

It is also my understanding (correct me if I'm wrong) that even though the standard has been issued for HTML 5, browsers are generally slow to add in support for it. So does it really matter at this point in time what standard I am using (HTML 4, XHTML 1.1, HTML 5, whatever) to learn? Would it be correct to say that I can use XHTML 1.1 if I really want to, but if I want to take advantage of all the pretty features of HTML 5, I need to abandon some of my apparently deprecated XHTML 1.1 ways first? On the other hand, if not all browsers are at this point in time supporting the HTML 5 features, why create a website that uses it if it's not going to work consistently across all browsers? As you can see, I'm a little confused =/

I'd appreciate if someone could shed some light on this for me and give me some guidance on... well... where to start learning, really; my Googling gives me conflicting information. My plan was to learn HTML, CSS, and Javascript, then learn how TCP/IP works, pick up some proficiency in Photoshop and Dreamweaver/Frontpage, then branch out into server-side technologies like PHP, ASP, etc... I already have some knowledge of SQL from my database design and programming class.

I did try learning from w3schools.com, but I have a sneaking suspicion that the material isn't quite comprehensive, which bugs me.

Hello all,

I am designing my first website and have taught myself the very basics of HTML/CSS but am at a bit of a loss where to start.

I want to start by creating the layout. Is this the usual way? I want about 5 pages and so would like to create the navigation bar down the left and drop down menus at the top which will then link to blank pages - all laid out, ready for text/photos etc to be added.

I realise that the layout should be created in CSS. Tables, I believe, are bad practice for layout design. What should I use instead?

I am grateful for anyone's help to get me off the starting blocks!

All the best

Phil

Here's my code in TextEdit:

Got that first bit of code from horus' tutorial on this site.


I saved it as a .html, then proceeded to open it in Google Chrome, Safari, and Internet explorer; all the same result. Why does it spit out this?



Should i not be using textedit? I've been looking into the CSS, what about those?

Hey, so I want to learn html and I was just wondering what books you guys would suggest starting out with?

I'd like my MP3 file to play continuously, without starting over each time a new page is opened. Is there code for telling the mp3 to not start over when opening a new page?

Here's the code I use now:
<EMBED SRC="Jaded.mp3" AUTOSTART="true" HIDDEN="false" LOOP="true">

Thank you for your assistance!

Ok, so I have this homepage with some code on it for weather...

Code:

<script src='http://netweather.accuweather.com/adcbin/netweather_v2/netweatherV2.asp?partner=netweather&tStyle=normal&logo=0&zipcode=98662&lang=eng&size=9&theme=clouds&metric=0&target=_self'></script>

Lets say you go to homepage.com for this. Could somebody help me make it so I could go to homepage.com/12345 it would insert 12345 into the zipcode field in that script?

Thanks for any help

For a while now I have been trying to figure out how publish RSS feeds for a website I am working on, I am somewhat a novice and recently stumbled across this code: http://snippets.dzone.com/posts/show/4083. I pretty much just pasted that code at random within my website. Not surprisingly it didn't work, in fact my page didn't even load... Can anyone advise me on how to better apply this code or at least recommend another way to publish RSS feeds.

Thanks in advance.
