HTML - Help With Scroll Bar (probably Very Easy For You Guys!)

Hello.
I just joined the forums because I want to start making websites again. I used to do it about 3 years ago ( nothing hardcore), but i knew enough to make basic websites.

Now, I want to learn the more indepth stuff. Such as Mysql, perl,css,java, javascript etc... i dont even know what someof those are.

So heres my question.
WHERE SHOULD I START?
I want to start from scratch.
I dont even rememeber some of the html stuff, so where do you guys think i should start? what are the fundamentals i need to know in order to move on to the more difficult stuff.

One last thing, can someone tell me the difference between html/xhtml/xml.. im kinda lost...

my website is here crafthouse.net.au

the offending directory is crafthouse.net.au/bonnie.php

I have written this site with notepad. I use htm, css, and javascript routines from either freeware sites or other sources

The site displays galleries of images (an amateur interest of mine)

Each gallery page has a text preamble with thumbs below. Clicking on a thumb lays a transparent layer over the parent and a larger version of the image slides open centred on the page - looks very sweet (the routine is freeware - I adapted it to suit). Since doing this I've seen it a few times on other sites (don't you hate that!)

ALL galleries have been working well.

Today I decided to add a 1px border to the images in one gallery - I used a newly acquired version of CS4. PS is the only thing unique to this problem - I have updated from CS3 - but surely an image is an image is an image.

When I uploaded the new versions of the images the images don't open.

I have replaced them with origanals from D: to no avail?

I have used colour space sRGB and Adobe 1998 - just in case?

I have been in contact with my host and they say it's coding - but it's NOT!

I have redone the page with a template from another working page. The rewtritten page displays well (of course) but the images still don't open.

I have replaced the folder on the server in case the folder has problem (now I'm sounding like a jerk) Permissions are all correct.

I've used WS Ftp Pro and FZ - the image folder on the server is black - the others are not! I wonder what this is about?

Can anyone shed any light on this?

I don't understand this at all.

Hey guys,

I'm new to HTML... Well not completely new, I know the basics like how to bold stuff, how to make a new paragraph, line-breakers, all that easy stuff.

Now I have a project to do by the end of this summer... I'm expected to make a site where people can Rent Toys online (dont ask ) . So I have to be able to have Paypal Access in my site.

Now I need a bit of help... I started reading a couple of tutorials on this site and I'm trying my best to understand them.

My question is, where do I start writing or developing my site?
I can't just put it on Microsoft Word, there has to be a web page developing server or site I can use.... Any recommendations? I can pay whatever the cost is; After all in the end (if I finish everything) my reward is breath-taking...

If there is a specific web developing company or server that deals with Paypal, or online purchasing, that would be helpful information to know as well.

Thanks guys!
That's all the questions I have for now

Ive been looking EVERYWHERE for a site with a code for a scroll box with a trasparent scroll bar, Ive seen the code where I can edit the size of the box as well as the color of the box itself and I know how to do THAT. how do I make it where the code displays the scroll code as well so I can fully customize it? it seems that its always hidden..

Hi Jquery Guros,
I develop register form (in arabic).
I added "validator.addMethod" to check the firstname text.I want to check that the "firstname" text must be in INGLISH leter and Numbers(means, user

can't insert arabic leters or anything else).

I added the script:
///////// chack firstname (English leter OR numbers
<b> Code:

$.validator.addMethod("firstname",function(value,element){
return this.optional(element) || /^[a-zA-Z0-9._-]{3,16}$/i.test(value);
},"Username are 3-15 characters");

</b>

I was trying to link a video I uploaded to my ISP on myspace, but I can't get it to happen.

I have looked around on Google and everywhere else and whatever is recommended looks like it will work, but doesn't play anything. (I try previewing it through FrontPage)

Any ideas?

I am struggling with a very basic problem. I cant get a link to work on my website. I have a index.html site with the main code which links to a page called faq.html.

The relevant HTML code is as follows (i also include the stuff at the top of the html page in case its relevant). I also include the CSS script (on a separate file) which may or may not be relevant. Can anyone help?




<html>
<head>
<title>THREE-COLUMN FIXED LAYOUT WITH FIXED BOXES</title>
<Link rel=stylesheet href="styles.css" type="text/css">
<! DOCTYPE html PUBLIC " - //W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN"
"http://w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd"><LINK rel=stylesheet type=text/css
</head>




<BODY>

<BODY BACKGROUND="topbackground.gif">



<DIV id=header>
<DIV id=logo>
<a>giftcardgo.com</A>
</DIV>

<DIV id=topnav>
<UL>
<LI><A href="faq.html">FAQ</A>
<LI><A href="#">About us</A>
<LI><A href="#">Contact us</A> </LI></UL></DIV>
</DIV>

</div>


The CSS script relevant to the top navigation (which is where the FAQ tab and link is) is as follows:

#topnav {

clear:left;



position: absolute;
left: 400px;
top: 75px;
margin:0;
padding:0;
text-align:center;
}

#topnav ul {

margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: small;
color: #FFF;
line-height: 80%;
float: right;


}

#topnav li {

display: inline;
list-style-type: none;
font-size: 80%;


}


#topnav a {

padding: 5px 0;
width: 65px;
background: 3399ff;
color:black;

text-decoration: none;

}

#topnav a:hover {
border-top: 1px solid #FFFFFF;
border-left: 1px solid #FFFFFF;
border-bottom: 1px solid #FFFFFF;
border-right: 1px solid #FFFFFF;

Hi there, I haven't coded in HTML for ages and now I'm just trying to put a little site together - but I've forgotten how to do one particular simple thing, and I can't find info anywhere!

Basically, I want to have all my text spread out on one main page, and use those special links that you can do to certain parts of the page. I know that it involves something to do with hashes! So you have one hash tag at a certain part of the page, and you can click on a link to take you directly there. Sorry this is so basic!! Many thanks!

This is my main page: http://www.bestsellersworld.com
I want to get rid of the extra space on the right hand side where everything will fit on the page. I don't know much about tables. Can someone help me?

my page has gaps where it shouldn't... at least in IE it does... it looks ok in Firefox... any suggestions??????

Hi--

I have a button:

<input type="submit" value="Submit" name="submit">

and I'd like to give its attributes to an existing text link:

<a href="#" id="submit" class="link1">submit</a>

so the text link will do the same job as the button (submit a contact form).

Is it possible to do this?

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Many thanks!
