HTML - Where Should I Start? Point Me In The Right Direction Guys! Thanks

Hi All. I am building my first website from scratch. The layout is basically broken down into 5 divs:

header, top menu, left menu, content and footer.

You can see a rough draft which I made using Joomla he
http://www.petiot.dnsalias.com/LRL/
(hope the page is reachable)

I came to ask myself very very basic and general question for which I need directions more than detailed answers really: What is the normal approach for website content display?

1 - having as many web pages as their are possible menu configurations (e.g. mainlink1/sublinkA
mainlink1/sublinkB
mainlink2/sublinkA
mainlink2/sublinkB
etc etc) and load them according to which link the user click?

2 dynamically changing the content of part of the page (i.e. left menu and content)
according to the link the user click in the top and left menu respectively.

I feel the second approach is the right one, but I think I am missing something.

I know how to change the text content of a HTML tag using javascript. I also read about frames that allow to load a page within another page, but I understand that frames are not so popular.

I guess my question is: Is it possible to dynamically change the content of a div by loading the html code contained in a separate html/css files? (so for instance I could only update the left menu and content div when the user click on a top men link)

if not what is the right way of achieving the same result? Any links or even general keywords I could google would be welcome!

Many thanks,

Hey everyone,

I designed a site for a client of mine. He developed a weather radar program and he wants to sell the idea to various news organizations. The site that I'm designing is for WCBS 880 radio. Here is the test page - http://zoomradar.com/wcbs880

Anywho, this is the problem I'm having. I have two iframes on the page. One for the actual map and one for the weather forecast which we are using from the national weather service site (don't worry, we are allowed too).

Here is the problem....

The forecast iframe is causing a bend/distortion in the radar map iframe about 3/4 of the way down. My client says you can't miss it and he has sent me pictures too because I can't see it myself. He says that he sees it on windows computers using the latest firefox. I'm wondering if any of you can verify this and maybe guide me towards a solution because I can't seem to figure one out. He says that the bend is in the shape of the iframe almost like it is hovering over the radar map but not really creating a mirror image??? Not sure if this makes sense to any of you. Hopefully you see what he's seeing. Any help would be greatly appreciated because I'm getting to the bottom of the barrel here.

Thank you very much in advance

I am working on this website:

http://www.djcarchitect.com/portfoli...tprojects.html

I want to add about 30 extra projects on the left side, under Current projects. I want this to be able to scroll vertically, so that it doesn't stretch my page down. I tried using an iFrame for the links, but whenever I clicked on a link inside the iframe, it opened up the target page within the iframe as well (it was all smushed).

I would ideally like to have a ton of those links, be able to scroll vertically, and open in the same window without adding more windows for the people on the site. Any help please? Thank you!

im having trouble in finding a way to transfer the infos ive collected in 1st and 2nd pages going to 3rd page.
e.g.
Quote:
1st page:
First Name: ___________ <--- the user will input his first name

2nd page:
Last Name: ___________<--- the user will input his last name

3rd page:
My name is [first name] [last name].. <----- will display the user's first and last name..
i already made a code for this program but my problem is only the information in the 2nd page is shown in the 3rd page.. there's still a problem *sob*.. need help pls..

Alright guys here's my problem.

I uploaded an .swf to this site:
http://img88.imageshack.us/my.php?im...rnsred2uz0.swf

From there I copied the code at the very bottom :: Right across from HTML (<embed src='http://img88.imageshack.us/img88/8120/augustburnsred2uz0.swf' quality='high' pluginspage='http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' width='640' height='480'></embed><br/><a href='http://www.imageshack.us/'>[Upload your own video]</a>)

So I want to be able to do two things. First off, I want to be able to put that entire code into a scrolling box on my website (it's a band banner and I want others to have the code to use).

I know I can use the code on forums because they use BBC (or whatever), but how would I make it so the code reads inside a box without the banner popping up?

My second question is ::
From the imageshack link I gave you you can click on it and it will direct me to my myspace. But when I place the code into my myspace, the link doesnt work anymore (getting rid of the point of a banner!)

I was wondering if there was some sort of an <a herf... type code to get the link back and working?

Thanks guys, I hope you guys are nice!!

my website is here crafthouse.net.au

the offending directory is crafthouse.net.au/bonnie.php

I have written this site with notepad. I use htm, css, and javascript routines from either freeware sites or other sources

The site displays galleries of images (an amateur interest of mine)

Each gallery page has a text preamble with thumbs below. Clicking on a thumb lays a transparent layer over the parent and a larger version of the image slides open centred on the page - looks very sweet (the routine is freeware - I adapted it to suit). Since doing this I've seen it a few times on other sites (don't you hate that!)

ALL galleries have been working well.

Today I decided to add a 1px border to the images in one gallery - I used a newly acquired version of CS4. PS is the only thing unique to this problem - I have updated from CS3 - but surely an image is an image is an image.

When I uploaded the new versions of the images the images don't open.

I have replaced them with origanals from D: to no avail?

I have used colour space sRGB and Adobe 1998 - just in case?

I have been in contact with my host and they say it's coding - but it's NOT!

I have redone the page with a template from another working page. The rewtritten page displays well (of course) but the images still don't open.

I have replaced the folder on the server in case the folder has problem (now I'm sounding like a jerk) Permissions are all correct.

I've used WS Ftp Pro and FZ - the image folder on the server is black - the others are not! I wonder what this is about?

Can anyone shed any light on this?

I don't understand this at all.

Hey guys,

I'm new to HTML... Well not completely new, I know the basics like how to bold stuff, how to make a new paragraph, line-breakers, all that easy stuff.

Now I have a project to do by the end of this summer... I'm expected to make a site where people can Rent Toys online (dont ask ) . So I have to be able to have Paypal Access in my site.

Now I need a bit of help... I started reading a couple of tutorials on this site and I'm trying my best to understand them.

My question is, where do I start writing or developing my site?
I can't just put it on Microsoft Word, there has to be a web page developing server or site I can use.... Any recommendations? I can pay whatever the cost is; After all in the end (if I finish everything) my reward is breath-taking...

If there is a specific web developing company or server that deals with Paypal, or online purchasing, that would be helpful information to know as well.

Thanks guys!
That's all the questions I have for now

I'm taking classes over html, and as we were learning hotspot's i din't understand what the point of it was, because you could just use href and img src to link the image..

Why do all the work of finding the coords??

I am desiging some webpages.

so if we see this website www.symphonysv.com,
there we can see some text in the middle row. when we point those texts with mouse, the image in the side changes.

How to do this...........

Thanks,
Vinutha.

Hi, I have the html coding below that shows the bullet point with a caption below it. How would i format the actual bullet point to be a different size and colour to the caption below it? Thanks

Code:

<ol>
<li>abc</li></br>
 aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa           

<li>abcd</li></br>
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

<li>abcde</li></br>
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
</o>

I am creating an FBML page in Facebook and can not figure out how to do an anchor point in the page - mostly because instructions online only tell you how to do it and show snippets of code, not the entire portion, so I can't tell where to put the two different parts of the code (a name & a href with #). This is the code I have:

<a name="Current Projects" id="Current Projects"> <a href="http://www.facebook.com/familysearchwiki#currentprojects"><strong>Current Projects</strong></a></a><p>

I want it to link to the "Current Projects" section of the document. I do not know how to set this up. Seems like it should be easy... I know it is, right?

Please,tell me,what's the problem?These things can't work together?Please help!

Hello all. I am currently putting together a flash intro for a friend of mine. He operates a World of Warcraft guild website through DKPSystem.com. While DKPsystem.com does normally use a subdomain for the registered guild, you can implement your own domain through the backend. He has done this.

So, here is my problem. What I want to do is create the flash intro and connect it up with a index.html file. Considering that DKPsystem.com uses a structure in which the user cannot upload files via FTP, I have no idea how to implement this flash intro.

Any ideas how this would be done?

Thanks in advance for all of your help.

Known issues between all browsers past and present

Ok, we know that as technology moves forward,
some things dont. I'm no hot shot on these things
and would be interested to know of all that exist to date.

So what i would like is a point of reference to
all Coders of all levels listing all the things
that we just shouldn't do anymore.
Please contribute and Add anything worth
mentioning or even questions about things
you don't understand.

Hi,
I have just joined the forum, so hello!!
Although the standard margins for bullets are fine for what I want, I find when they are to the right of an image they have a different indent. I have managed to correct this in FF by using <li style="margin-left:40px"> but the bullets are invisible with IE.
Any ideas?
