HTML - Css For Static Background [was 'hello']

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.

Please, how to make static web page?

What best to make it in?

I have to put in logo at top then text?
Will it show same in browsers?
Please help

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 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.

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!

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.

Hi Folks,

I am new to create static website and HTML. I have created two applications using Asp.net/Visual Studio. I am wondering how i can make static website.
I found built in templates on web hosting site is easy to change, I can also try to use Ms Expression Web/Ms Front Page but unable to measure which one is better for maintaing pointing of view. How i can easily create graphics logo.
I heard Corel Draw is good one.
Do i have to buy licence to upload site built by Ms Expression Web/Ms Front Page.

Could any body share his/her experience about creating static website.

You help is greatly appreciated.

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!

Is it possible to put a smaller background image on top (like in layers) of my old background image? I have a background image, but I want to put a smaller image on top of that one, but for it to be treated also as background image. This image is a black vertical rectangle, but is faded on the edges to give a transparency, so its a .png. So ultimately what I am trying to do is put this black rectanlge on top of my original background image and with the transparency on the edges of this image, be able to see my original background image. How can I do so? Also what I was thinking was that this faded background would be scaled to fit different screen sizes, so do "width: 75%"? Just so that it ALWAYS stays at 75% no matter what screen size it is viewed on. Is this the right approach towards getting this result?

Hey all

Ok i wasnt sure wether to put this in html or css but i decided to put it here and hpe for the best.

Ok , I have set a background color and a background image which all works well.

Except that when i insert the banner it isnt at the top of the screen it is about a cm down from the top. This is because of the background image but im not sure how to fix it.

Thankyou in advance,

Jake.

Okay, I have this background image...it's fine and dandy...but I want the stripes on the left side to continue to go down the page if more information is put on the page and it not stop at where it does on the page. I can't repeat it because THE EXOTIC ZOO will be repeated too down the page. Any suggestions of what to do?

Here is the page I'm talking about: http://thexoticzoo.webs.com/rats.html

How can I set background in a page. please help me.
