HTML - Left Hand Column
Hi all, Im afraid im getting a little frustrated. My fault..
Im new here but need your help. I run a forum, phpbb3 based but the style im currently using is very much HTML based. I am looking to have a left hand column within my forum but really dont know how to do it, well to add to what i already have. I think for you to know what style docs i have you would have to have a look yourself or look at my existing source code.. http://www.pricelessparrots.com/phpbb3/ Ok i have the new style ' VistaX '. This link will take you to the original download: It can be found he It seems this style is mostly created using HTML. Could someone please tell me how to add a left hand column to the page. I would like it to be on the left hand side all the way down after the header. I thought i would have a go at it but becoming increasingly frustrated with it. such a simple thing but i cannot get it. Do i float it, using css or what? I thought about using a seperate page to create the table and then include it into the doc but this doesnt work either. Plz help.. Paul Similar TutorialsHi all, I'm having some trouble getting my website complete enough to be up and running. I can put up 1 page, but visitors would have no way to navigate my site. I'm new to HTML and know a little bit. I've read up on a few tutorials, but nothing that talks about navigation. does HTML even do this?, or is this a CSS or JavaScript thing? I'm new to this and would really appreciate the help. Thanks a million. -Andrew Hey, I have a sample page he www.darkdayssoftware.com/indexotheridea.html How do I make space for and create a column down the left and right (e.g. a space for adverts) and ensure that when I resize the web paste, the main column in the middle doesn't overlap the column to the left, and similarly the column on the right doesn't overlap the column in the middle? Thanks What would be the best way to center the items listed in the left column? Thank you.

I want to add a column to the left side of the page that runs the length of the page. Is there anyone out there who can assist me with the code to do that. I'd be exceedingly grateful. I'm afraid I'm table dyslexic. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help. I have a left menu column but it's not stretching down the length of the page. The page is quite long and when the links are finished on left column it just ends and as it has abackground colour it looks a little strange. It is floated left and the main_section is also floated left. It is the main section div that is long. I was thinking because this is in a div that the left coumn is also in that the left column would therefore stretch to the length of it's parent div.

Please help. This could be an HTML or CSS problem, but I can't figure out what's causing this and it's driving me nuts! The left column on my website will not stay a fixed width of 175px in IE 8. That seems to be the only browser having a problem. Here's the link: http://www.jrsart.net/testarea/paull...cientists.html I've linked the page that has it the worst, but if you visit the other pages and keep an eye on the left column's border, you'll see it keeps moving. Please help! I'm rapidly running out of time to fix this issue, so any advice would be greatly appreciated! Good day, I am brand new here in this forum. So many knowledgeable folks here. I am relatively new to web design. I typically use templates and themes and tweak them. I can navigate a CSS doc and html to make changes, etc. However, I have a client who has an existing site that she wants to keep the aesthetic of and so I am using what the previous designer left. It is a simple html page with tables. Simple enough. Very elegant visually. No need to SEO really so it works. She has asked if we can make the left column of a two column table scroll independently. The page content is about over 6000px. The scroll column will contain a page outline and other text that will include internal targeted links. This is outside my skill set, but I want to learn. Have searched the net and found some suggestions but want it to be clean and ended up here. There is no style sheet other than the ie6 sheet. Page is he http://www.themedeaproject.com/proposaltestpage.html no graphics are loaded. Can anyone point me to a good tutorial or have any suggestions? Thanks! BlueEyedMonkey aka Tatyanna Hello, I have following div tag where I have a need to change the mouse pointer to a "hand" when it loads. However, this works perfectly fine on IE, but does not work at all on FF. <div id="Div1" class="panel" style=" cursor: hand; margin-right:0.5%; margin-bottom:0.5%;" onclick="javascript:window.open('img_1440.html', '','width=600px,height=400px');" > Please help Thanks, Ruchir Hi Folks, Back in the day (circa 1995), I learned HTML by looking at the source code of some pages and then doing my own thing with the code I saw. This was OK just for simple pages, but that's was all I really wanted or needed. Then came family commitments, job changes etc., and I sort of left HTML behind. Now in my forties, I cycle a lot and want to do a webpage for my travels, with some photographs etc. I tried RapidWeaver, and it does produce some nice results. However, it's still someone else's template, and besides, any more than six pages on my site and it continuously crashes. Saving the document takes about twenty minutes each time, and so I postpone saving it until I've done say, two or three pages. Then it crashes, so I have to redo those pages... Not ideal. So I scouted around and found Flux 3.0. I have to say, it's an impressive bit of kit, but because I stopped using HTML a while back, there are loads of things there that I don't know: CSS and div to name but two. I think the only option for me is to learn (or "relearn") HTML, but all of the sites I've found from my google searches so far, are either for complete beginners, or else for people whose knowledge far exceeds mine. And a google search for 'Flux tutorial' isn't much help, either. Could someone please point me in the direction of an 'intermediate' tutorial, or else one that will help me to hone and update my skills to the point where I can hand code the entire site myself? Many thanks. Im trying to figure out how to make my page borders absolute. So that the text I enter is forced to the next line and the table expands to accommodate whatever text is entered. Instead, whats happening is the page is expanding to the right, to accommodate the excess text. I've not messed with any html in a long time, used to be I could just use nested tables to accomplish this but no longer. I plan to use this code for an ebay store template so trimming the text or manually splitting it from line to line isn't an option. if anyone could help me or point me in the right direction so I can fix this or learn how to fix it It would be much appreciated. page in question is located here surrenderyourwings(dot)com/layout(dot)html http://surrenderyourwings.com/layout.html Just so you know I am new to all of this stuff. I have been arranging a web site for myself, as a project to learn from. I made myself a nice title/banner picture for my site and would like to align it to the very edge of the page(top/left/right). There are a few PX as a boarder, this is what I DO NOT want. I have it as a larger sized image then I'm displaying at the moment. And was hoping that I might be able to have it stay aligned at all times( If user changes the window size, or their window is large or small, etc.), and have this image be "fixed" at the top (there no matter how far down the user scrolls). I do not know if this should be in the .html or in the .css portion of my page, at the moment it is in the .html . ***A close example of what I want would be the top of htmlforum.com. The title banner boarders the entire top edges of the frame... except the "pic" does not go across the entire top, and the banner stays at the top.*** the code I'm using at the moment is: <img src="http://naluolapa.com/images/Titlepic2.jpg" width="1024px" height="126" alt="title banner, nalu olapa's domain" align="top" > This is a link to what I'm talking about and working on: http://www.naluolapa.com/home/HTML-2.html (yes, I do know that the page is full of errors in the displayed text, I'm more focused on the looks and style then the content at the moment.) I have google-ed many sites, and used lots of different sources for codes. Though none gave me what i want. so I decided to post on here, after looking through many threads too. Thanks for your time! a fragment of the code is shown below, <form id="frmmain" name="frmmain" method="post" action="index.php?page=login"> <!--<form id="srch" name="srch" onsubmit="return blockSubmit();">--> <td valign="top" style="padding:4px;text-align:center;height:50px;margin:0 auto;"> <input style="height:20px;background:none;color:#fff;border:1px solid #fff;width:160px;" type="text" value="<?php echo 'Enter WinkedAt code here.';?>" name="wa_id" id="wa_id" onclick="javascript:document.frmmain.wa_id.value=''" onmouseover="return onMouseOver2('You must <a href=index.php?page=login>Login</a> first to add WinkedAt code or <a href=index.php?page=Signup>Sign-up</a> for a free new account.');" onmouseout="onMouseOut2();" /> </td> <td valign="top"> <input type="hidden" id="my_id" name="my_id" value="<?php echo $my_id;?>"/> <input type="hidden" name="error" value="<?php echo $error;?>"/> <input type="hidden" name="msg" value="<?php echo $msg;?>"/> <input style="border:none;" type="image" src="<?php echo _DEFAULT_TEMPLATE_PATH;?>/images/goarrow.png"/> </td> </form> but when i validate it, it prompts errors such as these --document type does not allow element "td" here --Attribute "name" exists, but can not be used for this element. i tried putting divs but still the error prompts..what did i overlook? Hi, Does anyone know how to turn keep an image input type as well as keep have the ability that when you hover over the image you have the hand cursor. In addition its using post method to go through. My goal is to do it without using the A HREF or it wont work. Currently doing: <input type="image" src="images/graphics/art" > What I want to do: <input type="image" src="images/graphics/art" onMouseOver="cursor:hand" > Thanks. I wanted to get my background image in the center of my page. The Html code I'm using is as follows. <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" /> <title>Untitled Document</title> <style type="text/css"> <!-- body { background-color: #FFFFFF; background-image: url(http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a3...HomePage.jpg); background-position:center; background-repeat: no-repeat; } --> </style></head> <body> </body> </html> When i do it. Half the image dissappears at the top of the page. Can anyone help? Hi board members I've been hard at this for hours and can't get it working. Following the tutorial on facebook in order to specify the image which is associated with the page in question, my daughter's blog which I coded in notepad Please be advised the facebook links are not positioned where they will finally reside on the page. I have tried the iframe method first which doesn't have image control of this, then tried html5; and then the supa dupa xfbml methods. The latter two are called open graph. However ALL three methods return the rss icon image - so frustrating. The image I want to use is within their parameters and is in my images folder on level above the root. Can you please look at my code and shed some light on this. Note all of this code has been generated by their engine - copy/paste. the lines you are interested in are 11-16; 24-31 and 62 Good luck, Mal from Cessnock http://www.gouramidesign.com/portfolio.aspx#webdesign See that website, how it opens a lightbox type of thing, but wth the image on the left side and then a text on the right side ?What scripts does that website use?
