HTML - Please Give Some Advice For Rookie
I have kind of been learning html and css in a light sort of way and have made a few very basic pages. I want to move on and improve on this and I started out by looking at the source codes of some professional pages. Here is an example:
http://www.nhk.or.jp/hagetaka/ I really like the design of this site but cannot understand the source code. Can anoyone tell me if anything other than html and css is used to make this page? Because for me making something like this is ideal please any advice? Similar TutorialsIt is not so easy to help customers design the first page, but the customer said that he hoped to it can meet w3c of xhtml standard. Then I have suffered the Internet to look for some information about the W3C standard. And I found it is very difficult for me to solve the problem.Is there any easier way you can provide us? Meanwhile the Internet also provide psd to html services: http://www.pgconversion.com, the price of which is relatively cheaper. I want to try, please give some advice. Hi All, I am not totally new to website creation but I was hoping someone might be able to give me some guidance on getting a basic site layout setup. I basically want a nice background picture and then header, body and footer laid out in a similar method to this: http://www.white-hat-web-design.co.uk/web-design.php Any help gratefully received!. I am off to have a go again Im working on helping a good friend of mine update/clean up her site. I know basic HTML but not enough to do some basic changes. Not looking for a free ride...what so ever. Just some assistance. www.AZAUTOTRENDS.com is the site im looking to clean up. Ive done quite a bit already but just stuck on some things. Where is one to go to find some one for some help and direction? Thanks Aaron Aaron636r@yahoo.com Hello, I have already build a website and I only need to upload to my url: www.grupofdi.com I am using a mac server. First I thought I was supposed to paste the website files to /Library/Webserver/Documents. By doing this I am now able to see the website if I type localhost on Mozilla but if I go to my webpage I will see the same Apache information. This message can be currently read in the website: If you are the website administrator: You may now add content to the directory /var/www/html/. Note that until you do so, people visiting your website will see this page and not your content. To prevent this page from ever being used, follow the instructions in the file /etc/httpd/conf.d/welcome.conf. I guess I should now add content to that directory but I dont even know how to find it using a mac. I am kind of a noob with mac to and I guess this is a easy question I just need some help to get going here. Thanks for you help! I am an old COBOl guy so excuse the rookie nature of my question. I have an HTML document that contains Text and a .jpg image. After i changed the text, the image is no longer visible. What do i need to do to get the image back? I assume i am missing some kind of link or compilation? Thanks Hey guys: I am new to this and have been catching on real quick. This is for my final project for college and i have one minor issue i have been looking into for the past 20 minutes now. I cannot get the nav bar on the left to align to the top near the banner i had created. Very simple for some but an issue for me. Sorry to bother you guys, and i did search for this issue.

I'm trying to be a tough guy and figure it out myself, but it's not happening. How do I get text, img's, ect to appear NEXT to my menu and not below it? Troublesome section of my source code attached as "HELP ME" Sorry if this is in the wrong forum, i have a feeling it is. So you create a site for a client and that client has to update the page with whatever area they work in, maybe they work in real estate and have a new house on the market to add to the site etc.. Well i could easily write a php script that would add their content to the site, but i can image there could be errors somewhere down the line, what happens then, they phone you up to complan etc...? So what content modifying tools/script do you use? Hi, We have a large (over)complicated business website - I'm only testing it, so don't have any input to the code (I do have some html experience as I design my own websites, but nothing as complicated as the business one). The live site works OK, but as soon as we work on the test or the live-contingency site, when we click on a link we are taken to the live site, so I think the problem is that the site is using absolute URLs rather than relative ones - I can't see all of them as they are off in the javascript somewhere, and the pages are so complicated I don't fully understand them anyway. As far as I can see the options are - keep it as it is and put up with the fact that we can't test a lot of the functionality (not very good) - build a host file so that we are sent to the correct url (not very good because we're not properly testing the links) - replace all the absolute URLS with relative ones - sounds good, although how we get the developers to rebuild the whole site (3000 pages!) I cannot imagine! Does anyone have any other suggestions? Thanks all John I'm a lover for making websites and I never used to be able to make my own designs, because I'm racking up experience I have started deisgning but I don't have enough HTML knowledge to code it. I know the basics and some CSS but I need some Advice on what HTML Tutorial Books you recommend? Hello i am new to web design and after i made a site i want to put to text inputs on my site and when the quest iputs a number in each text field after he presses a button a msgbox will pop having the answer text1 * text2. Thank you I just changed the header on my main page http://www.bestsellersworld.com The red bar on the left does not reach all the way to the top and bottom. How do I extend this to make it lok more even? Do you think I need to make the background color where I have "All Reviews", etc. at the very top a different color to make this stand out more or does it look ok as is? Thanks. Hey everyone! I own an airbrush graphics shop and decided to make my own website rather than pay for someone to do it for me so I've read a ridiculous amount of info on html but still need help. Heres my website twizteddezign.com I just got dreamweaver 8 and redesigned the site but uploaded from nvu because all my ftp settings were in nvu. Now for some reason I cant get the pages centered in dreamweaver or nvu (Im sure its something REALLY stupid) so could someone help me out with that? I know there are probably a hundred other things I could do better also, but like I said I'm an airbrush artist-not a web designer so any other tips would be great also. Thanks in advance I really appreciate it. I have a website up www.sheridangroupdc.com When I use safari the bottom corner doesn't always display. I'm wondering if someone could provide some insight as to why this is happening. Thanks so much. the code for that portion is as follows... HTML Code: <div id="index_bottom_container_02"> <div id="index_right_text"> <div id="text_header"><img src="images/headers/new/index.jpg"/></div> <div id="txt_index_02"><img src="images/index_text.jpg" /></div> </div> <div id="index_right_flash"><img src="images/footer_small.jpg" alt="sheridan footer" /></div> </div> Hello, I'm trying to get as much help as i can to do with HTML ; I understand most of it all now thanks to alot of help on the WWB. A quick question, My friend is on about me doing a portolio to help me get a job in web design - could anyone give me any tips of what to do or how? Please have often told me to creat my own forum? or many a couple of websites? & also does anyone know any good FREE web hosts? Thank you. Hello, I have recently been asked to run the website for my church. (peacegaylord.org) If you go there, you will notice how simple it is. If you look at the source, it is REALLY messed up. I asked the previous webmaster and he said all he had done was take the one created in Word by our pastor, and converted some of the tags to work with older browsers. What this leaves me with is very messy and jumbled code. Now, what I really want to do is to simple re-write the entire site. If I did this I would: Use a style sheet instead of in-line styling Use non-deprecated tags (Obviously) Change the layout completely General clean-up/re-styling etc. Note: If I did this, I would try to make the entire thing HTML 5 compliant. However, a large amount of the people that use the site are older individuals, who may have old computers and therefore, old browsers. I know there is a way to make a browser recognize new tags by adding some javascript, but which tags would I have to do this with? OR I could simply go through and clean the current version up. What my question is: What would some of you do? If you would do the complete re-write, what kind of things would you add? Just looking for some advice Edit: The site is currently down as I am editing it a bit. Edit2: Site back online. I'm new to coding of all kinds and I was just wondering if there was a better way to do this. I have my menu displayed through css. But when I want to display another link through the <a href> it comes up formatted like my navigation bar. Ill upload the .html file so you can check it out, it seems I have to upload it in .txt format. Please help. Thanks in advance, Fuzzycuzzy Hey guys, i have a site i am doing for my final project for college and this is my first site. I like Web design so far and am enjoying it extremely. I would just like your advice on something i have come across. Please tell me what you think of the site overall (1-10 rating) Also my professor reviewed it and thought it was overall an A project but would like me to change/add a couple things. For example my banner is too long, what do you think about this? Also i do agree with her on this; that i need more wording on the inspirations page. How do you guys think i should add this? Any advice on making this site better and stand out more? What do you think of the color scheme? http://academ.hvcc.edu/~02479568/rude_rsx/index.htm Thanks in advanced guys, Deric |
