HTML - Add To Favorites With A Reference

The tutorials on this site are geared toward the newcomer. However, the reference guide provides useful information that would be useful to anyone.

i want to show '<' on my web page, but when I type in '<' i get
'<' and when I use '<code>&lt;</code>' or <pre>&lt;</pre> -- i still get '<' on the webpage.


the only way that i can display '&lt;' is to use '&amp;lt;

is there another way

So here's the sitch:

Our website, Watershedpdx.com, works from its outside IP address UNLESS you are inside our local area network. It's a Comcast issue, and their router seems unable to rout internal requests for our own IP from the internal and around to the router.

I know I could modify the .hosts file on every computer and such, but for now, I've opted for a slightly different solution:


If I'm inside the building, I check our own website with it's local IP:

http://10.1.10.197

Now, the issue comes up because I'm streaming video to the web at http://10.1.10.197:8079 and http://10.1.10.197:8078

Is there a way to reference this in the code without the IP address?

For this to be visible to the internet, I link it in the code as http://watershedpdx.com:8078 - but then the computers in the building can't see it.


Is there a reference like http://..:8078 that would work?

OK it said be specific so here it is. I am a first time html'er infact I am just now in an html/css class, the downside is my honors organization wanted a website this week. I was able to build something novice like @ http://www.asu-bap.com what I noticed is when I use images or a css stylesheet on the index page everything works grandiose. However, when I reference the same style sheet on other pages such as join.html or announcements.html it would not use the style sheet. I got really irritated and just embedded the css into each page individually. Think that my code was just that bad and i had nowhere to go for help.


Then... I tried to do an image on my calendar.html, and i had the same issue... I even tried (as I had with the css file) to create a brand new directory called calendar and putting the img in there. To no avail, it still would not pull up the image. I am like 90% sure my code is right for the image so then I found this website and decided to try to get help here.

Here is my code for the calendar (its a word doc converted I just added links and img), I have everything uploaded to root directory. Please help. And if you fix what could have been my css referencing issue, I wills end you cookies!

Code:

<STYLE TYPE="text/css" MEDIA=screen>
<!--

body {
  padding-left: 11em;}

ul.navbar {
  list-style-type: none;
  padding: 0;
  margin: 0;
  position: absolute;
  top: 2em;
  left: 1em;
  width: 9em }

ul.navbar li {
  background: white;
  margin: 0.5em 0;
  padding: 0.3em; }

ul.navbar a {
  text-decoration: none }
a:link {
  color: blue }
a:visited {
  color: purple }
address {
  margin-top: 1em;
  padding-top: 1em;
  border-top: thin dotted }
  

-->
</STYLE>
<!-- Site navigation menu -->
<div class="style1">
<ul class="navbar">
    <li><a href="http://www.asu-bap.com/">Home</a>

All the books I've seen are targeted at either newbies, experienced, or expert users. All I want is a reference that shows all the tags and all the formatting options. For example:

Table
<table></table>
Table options
<table style class height width border colspacing padding>

Table row
<tr></tr>
Table row options
<tr ..... >

Table data
<td></td>
Table data options
<td ..... >

See? For every avaliable tag. I just need a reference, not code, nor how to's. Just a reference to the tags and parms they can take.

If you know of a book title that covers this, please indicate.

Thanks!
