HTML - General Web Design Question
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?
Similar Tutorialshi 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 I am fairly new to web design and was wondering what some of the techniques are to make a page appear to have more on it then it really does. For example, how do you make it appear as if the page contains very little white space? is it best to use a pattern in the background? Is there a way to crop the page to make it smaller? Any way to make the potential links at the top and bottom of this page look a bit smoother, or fitting. Any help or suggestions in greatly appriciated. Code: <html>

Hi there I got a little problem with my website http://www.gone-surfing.com ; the thing is that I would like to have the waveforecast on the right side of the site, where there is currently only an empty black space. And I am simply wondering how this can be done? In a way which enables the waveforecast to progress downwards out there, without pushing the other tables / content downwards. Hope some clever minds can help me out here. Any suggestions? PS! I would like to keep the design like this, it would be a bit too much work changing the whole design due to my lack of webdesign skills. The source code is available here @ gone-surfing.com/index.html A big thanks in advance for any help or suggestions. All the best, Alex Ok I need to take things like this forum: http://lmiinc.com/forum/ http://lmiinc.com/forum/calendar.php And make it active on the new site I'm building for LMI. So what files exactly do I need to copy to the new directory & then reference as a link in my navigation bar in all of my .html files? In 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! 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 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 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? __________________ 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. 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 I know HTML pretty good and I can get by w/ CSS - but what else should I know for web design? Hey guys, This is my problem...---> http://triplestarnews.com/needhelp.jpg the original code is found on this page http://triplestarnews.com/main any ideas?? thanks! Eric Hi there Sorry, i don't know if this is the correct section of the forum to put this in. What I really want to know is, how do you get webpages to look like this: http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/lov...ign-mpt=uo%3D2 Can this be done using HTML and CSS alone? I'm only referring to the design part of it, not what the page is able to do. Like play songs for example. Thanks Jackie xxx Hello! I need a website built and have very basic knowledge of html. I will be selling t-shirts and need a professional looking web page. I want the customer to be able to select a variety of options for each t-shirt, starting with size. Once size is picked, the available options for colors will reduce to the available colors for that size t-shirt. Once color is picked, the available options for the type of shirt will reduce whatever types of red XL t-shirts I have in stock (v-neck, button up, tee, etc). As well as t-shirts I will also be selling other product, which will just be added to cart, with no customization. I would also like a shipping estimate for the customer's cart based on their zipcode. I also need a referral program added into the site. I want to be able to give some my url with their code in the string that will automatically add 30% of the profit they generate on my site. Note: this is profit made from each product, not revenue. I want them to be able to be able to check their balances quick and easy. This is the basic layout I would like, if you have any other ideas feel free to implement them or ask my opinion. I will choose the design that I feel is: a.) simple to use and edit, b.) looks professional, c.) user friendly. Thank you for your time and their will be more chances at making money from your home in the future. |
