HTML - Static Text?

Hey guys,

Im relatively new to html, although i have a good amount of college programming experience. What im trying to do is create a static menu (home, about us, products etc.) so that every sub page of the site can reference it without needing the menu code as part of that sub page.

This is for obvious reasons: if i want to add a menu item, i dont want to have to add its link to the 'home' page, the 'products' page etc.

Hopefully this makes sense.

If this has been posted before, i would gladly take a link. I tried searching, but am unsure of the proper query (because i barely know how to explain what i mean in english lol)

Any help is just awesome.
Thanks,
Travis

p.s. Im no good with CSS; if there is a way of avoiding them that'd be great. This is hobby, and i will learn if necessary but would prefer not to.

Hello All,

This is my first post to HTMLforums, and I apologize if it makes me look like a buffoon. I have been working with Adobe Dreamweaver 5 for about six months now, teaching myself as I go, and am beginning to get the hand of basic coding. I am, at present, creating a website and cannot figure out how to create a Flash Banner (that would have picture on the left, logo in the center and a media player on the right; though I will build that in a separate program) that is always present so that the music playing doesn't restart.

Basically, the links in the Banner would be "Home", "About", "Tour" and so on, and I would want, when someone clicks on the link, for the banner to remain but the content below to change to that page (all of those pages are currently separately HTML pages with the same code for the heading and the CSS stylesheet). I assume that for the link element I would need to incorporate some kind of _self tag with the link, but I do not know where to place it. Also, i do not know how to "anchor" the banner so that it is always there and not reloading every time someone changes pages.

Any insight or advice would be much appreciated!

Thanks, and best to everyone,

Hello. I'm a newbie here.

I've been asked to design a web site for a club I'm involved with. Unfortunately they have purchased a cheap hosting package, so I have no Java/JSP, no PHP and no MySql. Pure static pages only. Sigh.

I've found a nice looking template I can use - has nice drop down menus for navigation etc. It doesnt use frames. Now, since I want to navigate between half a dozen content pages, it seems that each of my pages has to contain all the common stuff - the menu, sidebars, etc. I'd kill for an <import src="..."/> tag :-)

So, are there any design patterns that will allow me to achieve templating of all the menus and common code?

Alternatively, are there any code-time coding tools that will generate run-time static pages based on templates?

Any advice welcome. Thanks. imo.

Hello,

I have a website constructed with tables since I haven't had the time to learn CSS. When the browser window gets resized, the table disappears and moves below my ad (aligned left). I want my table to NOT move even if the browser window is resized. I am able to achieve this by "converting tables to layers" but I don't like how it makes my site look and it messes up the format of some of my content.

The code is:

<table width="800" border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td colspan="5"><div align="center"><a href="index.htm"><img src="images/banner.png"width="800" height="120" border="0"></a>
</div></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="5">&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="5"><div align="center">
</div></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="5">&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><div align="center"><a href="index.htm"><img src="buttons/home.png" alt="Home Page" width="67" height="15" border="0"></a></div></td>
<td><div align="center"><a href="videos.htm"><img src="buttons/videos.png" alt="Videos" width="85" height="15" border="0"></a></div></td>
<td><div align="center"><a href="gallery.htm"><img src="buttons/gallery.png" alt="Gallery" width="107" height="15" border="0"></a></div></td>
<td><div align="center"><a href="about.htm"><img src="buttons/about.png" alt="About" width="80" height="15" border="0"></a></div></td>
<td><div align="center"><a href="contact.htm"><img src="buttons/contact.png" alt="Contact" width="108" height="15" border="0"></a></div></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="160"><div align="center"></div></td>
<td width="160"><div align="center"></div></td>
<td width="160"><div align="center"></div></td>
<td width="160"><div align="center"></div></td>
<td width="160"><div align="center"></div></td>
</tr>
<tr bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
<td height="223" colspan="5"><p class="style2">&nbsp; </p>
<p class="style3">&nbsp;</p>
<p></p></td>
</tr>
</table>

Thank you!

hello everyone. I'm a newbie at this HTML stuff. I've made my first webpage and everything is working fine. I added some .SWF files and placed them where I wanted using <div> coding. My problem is whenever you resize the browser window, the flash movies move with it, they "float" over the rest of the page. How do I make them stay static when you resize the window? Could someone please help me with this problem? I appreciate it very much.

I'm working on creating a custom home page for one of my Outlook folders using the Outlook View Control. The documentation that I've found uses the following tag to insert the control.

<OBJECT classid=CLSID:0006F063-0000-0000-C000-000000000046 id=ViewCtlFolder width="91%" height="330" codebase="http://activex.microsoft.com/activex/controls/office/outlctlx.CAB#
ver=9,0,0,3203">

Obviously, this requires that I be connected to the internet for the control to work. However, I need to have the page work when I'm not connected to the internet. The Outlook View Control is available via a .dll on my laptop.

Q1: Should I try and down load the .cab file to my laptop and point the codebase to the location of it? If so, how can I download the actual file?

Q2: Since the .dll exists on my computer already, should I just point the codebase to the existing .dll file and go that route?

hi

i have a website running on wordpress and another website which is purely a static website

my question is, on the static website on a particular page for example blog.html is it possible to retrieve all the blog entries that have been made on the website running on wordpress to be displayed in blog.html page on the static website if not all categories atleast a specific category from the wordpress website

is this only possible if both websites are running on wordpress
if so what are the other solutions in this case of the static website

other than making the static website into wordpress is there a solution

please advice.

thanks

Hi,

I am currently creating a HTML e-newsletter, and need the frame/template to essentially remain static. In other words, when the recepient alters the size of their preview/display panel in their email program (eg Outlook), the column widths/spacing and text size remains the same.

Could anyone please advise as to how this is done?

Thanks!

Hi All,
I am new to this forum and is expecting an answer for this question. I have implemented a facebook type search to the database which displays the familiar text saved in the database when I type some text in the database. My issue is after I have used the search box for a couple of time the text box starts displaying a similar dropdown from its history which hides my database search. Does anyone know how to disable it using html or css. See the attached Image if my question is not clear.
http://www.htmlforums.com/attachment...1&d=1306715905

here is the (ineffective) code currently:

<img style="float: left; width: 169px; height: 73px;" src="img/logo1.png" alt="" />
<h1 style="text-align: center;">random text</h1>

the image shifts the left margin such that the text is centered as though the page width was 169px less than it really is.

i'm not debating the code itself; the code above behaves as its meant to. aka no surprises. i just cant figure out the appropriate code to center the text across the entire real width of the page as though there was no image.

i've tried div tags & all the things google hunting advised. no luck. other than finding this forum, which seems like it'll be a boon!

thanx in advance for advise/comments/feedback/help.

I have several websites that I maintain and update. A lot of them are just textual changes and I would think my customers can do these themselves by editing a simple .txt file.

I was hoping my choices are avalable so that I can just insert this tag into my web pages and then give them login info to their edit page or show them how to upload the .txt file.

I hope this is an easy one with several answers.

Is it possible these tags could discipline your rankings in the search engines?

Thanks,
Jason

How do I Link text in a div, h1, h2, p to an external text file or xml file - I don't really know how to ask the question. I think I need an xml file that can be easily edited by a user saved to the server to update an xhtml page text without the user getting bogged down in html.

I don't want to use joomla or cms.

<Any ideas />?

Best wishes,
mas
