HTML - A Few General Text Formatting Questions
This is the site in question:
http://www.kzoo.edu/ultimate/home2.htm I'm pretty bad at HTML but I've been making due with various guides and such so if you're actually looking at the code it's probably really messy. -I'd like all of the links on the left to be fixed, so that scrolling down and such doesn't affect their movement. How could I do that? -I'd also like the "last updated" on the bottom to be fixed, but I'd also like it so that it's always on the bottom regardless of what resolution you're using. How could I do that? -Finally, I want to figure out how to enter text in a paragraph in the center of the page without affecting the location of the links on the left. I tried using the center tag and such, but it would create a new line and mess up the spacing on the left. Thanks. Similar TutorialsIn preparing to learn in-depth info about DW and all the terms that come with web designing: What exactly does the term slide toggle mean? I came across this term, in one of the threads, and googled it but still did not understand the term. I was suprised to see that DW has a few critics out there. With each type of programming language, I gather that there are pro's and con's for each but specifically, what are the con's to DW? I invested in CS5 and I am looking forward to working with php and MySQL in conjunction with DW. Thank you in advance! I have a very little task here and I can not figure out the best way to do it without using tables.... I will if I have to but I would rather not. below is a paragraph on my website: Rebuttal – They fail to mention that any taxes/bond use to buy Golden State Water Company will result in a reduction in water rates far in excess of any tax. See details in the Summary Flyer..... I want the the next line to go under the the word "They" (the first word after rebuttal) so the word rebuttal is just off on the left by itself. Here is the code of the paragraph: <strong>Rebuttal</strong> – They fail to mention that any taxes/bond use to buy Golden State Water Company will result in a reduction in water rates far in excess of any tax.... Thank you guys so much in advance I could really use the help! I'm trying to apply simple formatting (i.e., bold, italic, etc.) to a scrolling text box on my site: www.soulsticemarketing.com/faq.htm Does anyone know how to do this? Hi, I added a rich text editor into my html page for text area fields, let us say description field. The user enters the text, modify its color, changes its size and fonts... The value saved for this field in the database is: <font color="#ff00ff">description text </font> and is showing as it is on the screen. If I look at the source code of the page, I notice the following: <font color="#ff00ff">description text </font> The problem is that, there are two conversions happening: < Converted To < > Converted To > How should I avoid this conversion so that the description text appears in its right format taking into consideration the html tags. Note: in the head of the page, I have the following: <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" /> I would appreciate any help. Best Regards, Lara Hey all, I'm not sure if this goes here, but I believe my question is a combination of both HTML and perl (cgi script). I have a website with multiple forms, one being a text area. The user is going to copy/paste test from a file into that text area. The thing is, it has to keep the formatting, so whatever the user typed in the text area is EXACTLY what gets sent through the email. I have worked around this and when using the unix's mail client, i sent it as a content-type: text/enriched. this kept the formatting of the text area and still allowed me to bold some things on the email. What I WANT to do, is send it using Content-type: text/html but still keep the formatting in the text area. Hope this makes sense, thanks. I want to replace the asterisks with numbers in superscript format - so instead of five asterisks I would just have a '5' on the upper right of the character the row of asterisks was adjacent to: http://episin.blogspot.com/2011/07/f...iological.html Thank you I every one I'm working on a page where the text is set up in HTML and I'm getting some pretty different results on different computers. This really is a 2 parted question. First if you would be so kind as to visit this page and tell me if the text is properly sized and formatted as to fill the areas between the images: http://www.reelectjusticecliffordtaylor.com/bio.html I've included a screen grab of what the text looks like on my PC when I see it live. at this link: http://www.johncliffordtaylor.com/text_example.jpg Second base on what I've seen up to this point I would like to know if there is a way to get the text to appear more uniformly in different browsers on different PC's. So far I'm just working with: body,td,th { font-family: Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; color: #2B24A6; (pretty much navy) } that are embedded right inside my page HTML page. So I'm very open to any ideas on how to get the text to appear more consistently across many computers and browsers. Thx for the help every one!

Any help? Cheers I am trying to slowly put together a very simple content management site for a footy club i run, the data is stored in a mysql database and lined to the web page using a dynamic table from within dreamweaver, it displays all the info except one thing it appears in one huge paragraph, take a look at my page Link is at: http://itdesignz.co.uk/Clients/RTFC/cms/home.php The Data in the mysql has the spaces and enters breaks in it, but these are not reflected in my page. I am really new to dreamweaver and am not sure how to overcome this problem, Please help Andy Hey, I have my own website. I thought it was all looking fine but I use mozilla firefox, so I tested my website out on Internet Explorer 7 and found some errors. I have sorted them all out apart from one. I have a table with 3 rows, I need the first and third to be about 15px wide and the middle to be the rest of the page. I can do this but when I set the table border to 1 it all looks fine. I set the table border to 0 and it all squeezes in to be about 100px in width. What I need to know is there a way to keep the border but make it invisible if you know what I mean, not setting the border to 0 but to keep it at 1 but making it not visible. Or of course any other way. Thanks in advance. Tom. well not really sure if it would be html or more in the lines of css but 1st just wanna say sorry for brining up myspace again but is there a way to hide the comments from the page source as well as just the actual page that's viewed? Ok, please bare with me because I know I probably sound really stupid. I have bought a domain at freewebs.com, and I am pretty good at making graphics so I figures making a website wouldn't be that hard....well I was wrong. Anyways I am making the layout, but how do I code that into actually becoming the main page? And then once I do that how am I suppsoed to edit it to do news updates etc? I'm so lost it's ridiculous. Any help is appreciated! Tyler Hi guys. I'm working on a website, using ASP.NET. I'd just like to find out if there is anything specific that all websites should have, i.e. an about page with information about the owner and author of the site. Anyone have some advice? Hello, I'm going to be updating an HTML website for a friend, and it's going to be a very basic webpage. Mostly HTML with a little JavaScript thrown in for fun. My question is, how do I handle content management for the user? The website is going to be a standard setup with a "New Information" section on the homepage. This section will be updated by the admin (my friend) on a regular basis, but I'd like to be able to have her update this info in a more user-friendly manner than updating the actual HTML code. Content management is new to me, so I'm open to any suggestions. Thanks in advance! hi im a newbie in this forum and i would like to know 2 things can someone explain what is the different between this 2 code: this code normally appear on the top or the first line on html code ( before <html> tag ) THIS: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" > AND: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> what is the advantage or disadvantage between both. will it make any different for users or search engine? thanks Hi This is my first post and hopefully I am in the correct place to receive some help. I am totally unsure how to layout my page correctly. Firstly, is there a recommend width, and if so I do I correct the script accordingly. I seem to have different cells at various widths and do not know to to correct. Essentially, the page needs headers and footers covering the whole width, with 2 cells for text and picture in yhje main body section. What I am attempting to do is add text to the cells with images so as the images stay in place and the text wraps around the image. I would be grateful if someone could take time to look at the page script and make some recomendation towards improvement in the layout, or better still post back somre changes. This is my site http://www.janitorman.net/rions/info.htm I hope I have explained with enough detail. Regards Ludo Hi, How can i change the source code of my home page? You can modify the source code and save it as a .txt and then again as some other file type, which I can't remember, So that the off line page is whatever you want it to be, Say if I want to change the color or edit the text of MSN etc. Your "Homepage" refers to a file in your system and not on the web, Unpublished. Does anyone know about this? A computer science professer showed me a few years ago. Happy New Year If you were looking to host a blog, and nothing else on that domain, would you go for one of the companies that only host blogs and that are semi set up with templates and so on? Or would you just go for your own hosting and set it all up yourself? __________________ Hello My name is Beth. I was given the difficult task of creating a website for a company I work very close with and I'm running into all sorts of coding problems. I know these can't be that insane but I've been spinning my wheels on these issues for 2 weeks now and I'm almost out of time. I know it's not much but I will paypal $50 to the person that solves my problem (that is if its not against board policy) i just NEED help so bad! Here is where my demo page is for the new website. It's one page, no links to anything else... URL: http://www.srh.com/taxgirl/index.htm The page is supposed to look kinda link this... The problems a 1.) The drop down navigation has issues displaying over the flash animation sometimes flashing above it but it seems like it naturally wants to be below it. 2.) When you hoover over the navigation the buttons disappear, this might be due to the same problem as #1 but I don't know... 3.) the two columns need to fill down as either one has content. what i mean by this is that if the column on the right has 800pxs of content and the left only has 300px it should still extend 100% with the growth of the right column. Any advice anyone has on this kind of layout I would appreciate massively.. but honestly, I'm so out of time I'd absolutely be ecstatic over a solution. Like I said, I have $50 to offer for help. Please look into your hearts and minds to help! Thank you so so much. ~beth. Hey, all. New user here, but you looked like the friendliest bunch of people discussing web dev. Here's a simple question (I hope): I want to query the Navy's public site for moon cycle/period information from within my own code. There's a page (here) that provides a form to get what I want per day per location. But when I pull out the form info from that page source and place it in my own page, the form doesn't work. Is this a workable approach? An alternative would be to use another form on the same site (here) that results in a table of info for a whole year's worth of data. I could go either way as parsing either table is pretty straightforward for me. Since the forms are similar, it seems like getting on of those forms to work at all is the crucial issue, or is there another way to query data on the net like that? Thanks in advance, Burt |
