HTML - Help With Tutorials And A Template.
Hello,
I downloaded a couple of templates a week ago, thinking I could use them to base my site (which is just going to be a simple, personal site) off of them. However, I seem to hit a complete blank in knowing what any of it means! I've done some html sites before, albeit about 6 years ago and I don't remember much of what I did then. So when I looked at these templates and tried to work with them I was just perplexed just how to go about changing it to do what I want.. I was wondering if anyone would know of any tutorials, very good ones that go into detail about the code the templates use. The code for one of the templates is below, the other uses the same style. One thing I am quite frustrated with is that every link simply links to the whole main page and brings it all up again, so in effect I would have to have several copies of the main page. I would like so that all links simply bring the information up in the lower left part of the page (below the "Maecenas" link). I have used iframes for that in the past, however I can't remember how, or how with this style of code. I've also been told that ALL frames should be totally avoided, including iFrames! (I thought it was just the normal frames..). So if anyone would be able to help me out with this, it would be very much appreciated. Thanks, Pete Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd"> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"/> <meta name="description" content="description"/> <meta name="keywords" content="keywords"/> <meta name="author" content="author"/> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="default.css"/> <title>Deep Red</title> </head> <body> <div class="main"> <div class="main_left"> <div class="header"> <h1><a href="index.html">Deep Red</a></h1> </div> <div target="_blank" class="link_menu"> <a href="index.html" accesskey="1">Vestibulum</a> <a href="index.html" accesskey="2">Suspendisse</a> <a href="index.html" accesskey="3">Elemen</a> <a href="index.html" accesskey="4">Maecenas</a> </div> <div class="content"> <h1>Porttitor posuere</h1> <div class="descr">Jun 13, 2006 by Vulputate</div> <p>In hac habitasse platea dictumst.

Hi guys.I have very little html experience so I decided to work from a template. Problem is, I didn't even know how to add some of the simple stuff. I was able to figure out how to add: a) the background b) the main header(banner) and c) a few normal pictures I have no idea however how to add the: sidebar, menubar (where about us, etc is), or the footer. I don't know where the programming for them starts or how to add so that the show up. In the following post I'll add my website name and code: HI Guys, I am making a template using Web 2.0. Everything was alright but when I opened the html files in Dreamweaver again for work. One div in the middle it showed white space. When I viewed it in firefox, it viewed completely and there was no white space. The text was there , everything was there. I dont get it, where did the white space came from. Also, if I view the code view, that specific div is highlighted with yellow color. Also the yellow highlighted div is showing in the design view. I am attaching the screenshots. Kindly help with this Regards, a2usmani I'm trying to make a template for e-bay using Dreamweaver. When I use CSS, it applies everything to the whole auction, so even the e-bay things have the font as orange. I went in and changed everything to html and things look better, but I'm having a problem with the border around my images. I would like it to be the color in the background instead of black. Here is a screenshot of what I am talking about. http://s132.photobucket.com/albums/q...screenshot.jpg Here is the code I currently have: <img src="http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q14/littlestinkerstore/SSTemplate/ssimagej.jpg" width="288" height="288" border="9"></p> <p align="center"> </p> <p align="center"><img src="http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q14/littlestinkerstore/SSTemplate/ssdescriptionj.jpg" width="450" height="225" border="2"></p> What I would REALLY like is a border around the image that is another image, a pattern used in the background, but I will be happy with a color that matches!! Thanks! here is the template. it's coded badly since I used photoshop and dreamweaver since I dont really know how to code. the only thing I need to do is add a div tag in the body thats white and another div tag for the footer with that color. ive been messing with it but i cant get it. i end up messing the whole template up. could someone please help me with those 2 spots please? Hi, total newbie to website design and I need help in getting rid of a template. I think for now all i want is to go to cPanel, then right to a HTML editor, but every choice seems to leave me with some sort of forced template. I just switched from Sitebuilder to RVsitebuilder and was a little happier with the 'build your own' template... but still there is a template. I want to learn to design my own header, not have some preset thing.... Should I just keep messing with different builders? Try wordpress? (it's Not like i can ruin anything, there is no content up yet to worry about overwriting) Hoping someone feels like answering this tonight Hi, this may not be even a HTML question but... I was wondering if there was a way to create some kind of website template, so if I wanted to add a banner or something to a page I don't have to go into each individual html file and put it in. Something like a css that everything references to and making a change in that changes all. THX. How would you add a template to your site with HTML. This concept is getting very annoying and I have started arguing with someone on this subject. Please if you know how to do this please don't hesitate to tell me. Thanks in advance!! -Levi Hey everyone, First of all, I don't know any HTML, I'll be following a tutorial later this week to learn it, yet I decided to give website lay-outs, a go. Here's what I got so far. Now my questions are, do I have to add the text on there now? Or will I add it with HTML later on? And my other question is, how exactly does the slice tool work? Do I just have to slice it all in pieces? Or do I have to add the URL to it too? (If you double-click a slice you can enter a URL, how can I know the URL if I don't even have a site yet?) Thanks a lot! I have an older template that has a stylesheet and iframes.html I am wanting to put this into it and just havent had any luck. <!-- MLCALC BEGIN --> <script type="text/javascript"><!-- mlcalc_default_calculator = 'loan'; mlcalc_currency_code = 'usd'; mlcalc_amortization = 'year_nc'; //--></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.mlcalc.com/jquery.js"></script><div style="font-weight:normal;font-size:9px;font-family:Tahoma;padding:0;margin:0;border:0;background:transparent;color:#E5E5E5;width:300px;text-align:right;padding-right:10px;" id="mlcalcWidgetHolder"><script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.mlcalc.com/widget-wide.js"></script>Powered by <a href="http://www.mlcalc.com/" style="color:#E5E5E5;text-decoration:none">Mortgage Calculator</a></div> <!-- MLCALC END --> I have been able to muddle it into the page but get script error. I am sure I need to provide more information. The tables on the page are just to confusing for me to work this in. Just thought I would start off with the problem.
