HTML - Dreamweaver Moves Span Tags Around
What could be wrong with my html or dreamweaver settings? I have code similar to following:
Code: <div id="mydiv"> <span id="myspan"> <p>Some <em>text</em> here</p> <p>Some more text here</p> </span> </div> If I select the word 'text' in Design view and make it not-emphasized/Italics, the code changes to: Code: <div id="mydiv"> <p><span>Some text here</span></p> <span> <p>Some more text here</p> </span> </div> So it's decided to remove the id attribute from the span and move the span inside the paragraphs, and since there's two paragraphs, there's an extra span as well. The result is the same even if the span is outside the div. Even if the code is wrong, why is dreamweaver fixing it when I'm just trying to do something unrelated. (The em tag is not the only one that causes this to happen.) Similar TutorialsWhat exactly do the Span and Div tags do? I've read definitions on the web: "defines a block of text," etc., but I don't see any examples of what the difference is from normal text to text that is used using the span and div tags. Could someone provide any examples? Thanks, Brad Mod - Please Delete All my code is filled with these <span> tags in my html page, but not all of my code. How can I remove these tags and make a better structured layed out web page. When I remove the <span> tags, I will need an alternative html tag to replace the <span> tag. My <span> tags store stuff about my web page, so I need a html tag that is a replacement and a structured way to put my data in the web page. Any expertise would be great. Thanks, Chris i'm looking for a cheap way out of making collapse/expand code. i've learned a lot of 'ghetto' techniques n thought mayb i can use something similar to the html tricks i've learned in the past. the theory i have is.. i use the title of the collapse/expand text as a link to the text below it to open and close by using the navigating tags: Code: <a name="content">opening/closing text here</a> and the title above the content: Code: <a href="#content">Title</a> to open the area of text. now my idea of a shortcut around the whole css/html/javacript combo is to make the text below it use a Code: <font size=0>content</font> at default and have the href title link change the font size to the default 9pt but I don't know if that's even possible. Is it possible with the Code: <div> tags? and if so, using that, would i still b able to make a link like that? when i click on a link on my "test page" the div with my links in it moves up...but when i click back to the "home" page it moves back down take a look at the attached file to see what i'm talking about...is there any way of fixing this...it does this on both FF and IE 8. can someone help me with this...if it's something that i simply have to deal with then that's fine...just thought that maybe something was wrong and could be fixed. I've got a page of results, and at the bottom it has page numbers and a link for next page etc all head in a div. Sometimes it is display correctly with 20px margin-top, but other times, it has no margin-top, but will move down to its correct position when you try click on it. Anyone had this sort of thing before? Thanks Hi there, I am currently making an iPhone/Touch website, and would like to know how I can make it so the top banner stays at the top, while the main body of the site scrolls up and down below it. Can you help? Josh I created a layout in photoshop that was in 1024x768 res and then I put it into Dreamweaver and got the layout aligned but when I insert text it stays where I want it but then when I change my res the text moves. I used "Draw Ap Div" in Dreamweaver to create the text over the image sliced layout. Is there any way of keeping it where I want it at every res? Hi All... I'm building a website in Dreamweaver 8. I have one layer in the site that contains a form field for collecting email addresses. The layer is placed on top of an image. When I horizontally resize my browser window the layer moves. When I resize the browser vertically it stays in place. I've tried switching the layer properties from relative to absolute and back again but it doesn't make a difference. Could someone please have a look at the page and see if they have any suggestions? The link is http://www.sweetdivinemusic.com/storycollective This is the last piece I need to fix before taking the site live. Thanks a ton folks! Robert Is it possible to trigger the action of a form with a submit button that's outside the form tags? If so, how should this example be rescripted to make the input tag work outside the form tags? [/code] <html> <body> <form name="input" action="html_form_action.asp" method="get"> First name: <input type="text" name="FirstName" value="Mickey" /><br /> Last name: <input type="text" name="LastName" value="Mouse" /><br /> <input type="submit" value="Submit" /> </form> </body> </html> [/code] Hi I have made a Website for my Dad but am experiencing problems. I have put all the texts in a layer and when i view the website on my screen (1024 by 768) all is fine but when I look at the website on my dads PC (1280 by 1024) the words are not centered and are too far of to the side. how do to keep text aligned on different screen resolutions browser how do i anchor the layer/textbox so when the resolution increases the text stays where i want it to stay. I am attempting to put an amazon link on my web site. I have found the position I want but when I minimize the screen the link moves over to the other text.

Once a user logs in the log-in box disappears and the container below the log-in box moves up to the log-in box spot. The reason I want to change this is that it leaves a blank space below the moved-up container. Can this code below be changed to, instead of the log-in box disappearing, it is replaced by an equal sized text box, thereby not allowing the below container(news flash) to move up?

This page contains a form inside a table. Why does it move?? I can put code up if the answer cannot be resolved from the info provided Thanks, Raggy Does anyone know of maybe a Java script or some something that anchores the layers (makes the layers stay in the middle even if the resolution changes). Because i have a website (http://israelat60.zxq.net) and when i look at it in a resolution higher then 1024 by 768 the text is not in place. Thanks for you time and help I was wondering if someone could give me the javascript to make text change color or size or make bold when mouse moves over. Thanks for the help! In the site: www.eldon.com see those little dotted lines in the page? I couldn't figure out how they did this to save my life... Thanks... Hello every1, I'm using adobe cs3 now, but i seem to be having a little bit of a problem. When i come to type in the html code: <param name="wmode" value="transparent" /> wmode="transparent" The code does not seem to work now. What is the new code that i will need to enter? Or do you have to do something in flash? Thanks for the info? ok, so since i've switched over to Div i felt like there was no more needs for Dreamweaver anymore. Does anyone feel like this? I mean, maybe i just don't know how to use DIV in Dreamweaver, becuase i've been doing it all by hardcoding by hands. becuase when i try to align a div to the right or left, there is no button in the property that lefts me do it, so i have to get into the code and change it. and when i do use it, seems like the only feature to use is "layers" ( i think this "is" div ). so currently i'm thinking that dreamweaver is built for tables. is this correct? Shoot, now i feel like i've spent so much money and now is barely using the program anymore( execpt for the typing tool tip). can you please give a site or link where can I download dreamweaver? I have heard is good to build web pages and learn html. Thanks! |
