HTML - Basic Background Question
Hi!
This is my first post here. I am a part time web designer, (I must admit, better with the graphics than the coding). I am designing a page and I want the background to be black for say 1000 pixels down, and then white after that. How do I accomplish this? Does anyone know an easy way to create backgrounds with several tones? Thanks... Cosmos Similar Tutorialsedit: Problem solved, how do I delete this thread? I normally work in Flash which is much more intuitive for me. I am making and effort to design more in HTML. Here is the most basic of questions.. When doing designs in Photoshop or Illustrator, what is the best way to save slices. Gif or Jpeg. Are there tutorials or personal comment on the forum about the best practice for slicing sites. Thanks! I am in the process of writing a spell-checker in PHP, but repeatedly stumble due to my less than perfect knowledge of HTML basics. (1) What's the most straightforward way to open a second page on top of the currently active one? Is it via JavaScript, or can it be done using HTML itself? (2) If I need to update a text area on the original page at the time I close the overlying one, is this again best done by JavaScript? My aim in both of the above is to avoid adding any code to the underlying page, other than the addition of a "SpellCheck" button and the coding associated with that. Many thanks for any pointers. hi, I'd like to say that I'm extremely new to xhtml and CSS, so please bare with me. My question is simple, consider I have this code HTML Code: <table class="mainTable" border="0" cellspacing="30">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>
<p><b><a class="button" href="l1.html"
target="_blank">Link1</a></b></p>
</td>
<td>
<p><b><a class="button" href="l2.html"
target="_blank">Link2</a></b></p>
</td>
<td>
<p><b><a class="button"
href="l3.html" target="_blank">Link 3</a></b></p>
</td>
<td>
<p><b><a class="button"
href="l4.html" target="_blank">Link 4</a></b></p>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
1) what does target="_blank" mean? 2) My intention is to place this table in the upper center of the screen. How can I center the table ? 3) The height on each cell in this table is huge, how can I decrease the height of the cells? Thanks Hi guys, I am trying to help my friend figure out what is going on with his (VERY BASIC) website. I believe that he created it using dreamweaver originally, and then tampered with the code a little. The problem is as follows: The website seems to display perfectly as intended on mac ( safari) however when viewed on PC wit internet explorer the frames do not not work properly, They are opening in different windows etc. I know that no-on ould ever recommend building a site like this with frames, but would recommend iframes etc, however i ws wondering if there is a flaw in the code that can be fixed to resolve his problem simply? Thanks for even taking the time to read this, any helpful advice would be most appreciated! the code is as follows: The code titled "main" the main piece of code, then the coodes titled "top", "middle" and "bottom" are the codes for the respective frames.

Hi, I am creating a one page site that uses an iframe to display the other pages. So I create an index.html with an iframe in it and drawing an initial 'page': <iframe src="pages/welcome.php" name="carter-fairfax" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" width="900px" height="910px"></iframe> I then create another 'page' on the site and link to it using the following: <li><a href="pages/who-we-are.php" target="carter-fairfax" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" width="900px" height="500px">who we are</a></li> Everything displays fine except that there is a good deal of white space at the bottom, obviously because there is a difference in the height of the iframe - is there an elegant way to get round this problem. I do have the containing div height set to auto. Many thanks, Keith Hulse I want to create a two column table that, in one of the rows, has a large picture in the second column. I wanted to "wrap" the picture in a <div> and give the div scroll bars so the user can scroll horizontally and vertically to see the entire picture, but still keep the width of the table as the same size as the width of the browser window. The div part seems to work fine. The large picture appears in the smaller div and the div has the scroll bars that I want. But, the table is still sized to contain the ENTIRE width of the photo, so the other rows in the table go off the edge of the browser window (because the image is wider than the browser window). Is there a way that I can limit the table width to only be the width of the browser, and have a large photo contained in a scrolling div, within one of the table rows. I will include some basic HTML code to demonstrate the problem. Just insert a path to some large image you might have, for testing, into the image tag's src property. (the image I am using is 1600x1200) Thanks, in advance, for any help you can provide.

I can't remember what it is called. But it basically adds small amounts of space between each letter so it goes all the way across. How is this done in HTML/CSS if it can be done? Thank you as always, Ash Im designing a new site and I was kind of wondering a few things that I was hoping to get some answers to. I wasnt sure where this should be posted so if its in the wrong spot please accept my appology. So I do know I want to do alot of css and make it look very professional. 1) I remember at one time that you should make the site big enough to accomidate an 800x600 resolution. But considering that 1024x768 and bigger is pretty common place should I be scaling up to that or still stay at 800x600? Hi all im really new to html. I guess this question is really basic to the expert html ers but just need a bit of help. I want to add some text say i got a <p> tag and want to write just a sentance such as .. <p>I am learning html, it uses tags like this <a,b> which can load images etc. </p> of course a,b isnt a tag, but if i load this basic text in a web browser it would ignore the <a,b> and come up as validation error in the validator. So pretty much is there a way around of displaying <any letters or words> without the browser thinking its some sort of tag? thanks for the help! Can someone please help me? How do I move the entire image up on following index page: www.AndyG.com Note that there is a one inch gap between top of computer screen and top of image...I just want to move image way up to top... Thanks a lot! Andy I have a question. Why is it on my background image that I've got centerd on the page moves to the right about 10px when I refresh it? :\ Heres the code I got... *<body bgcolor="#090909" TEXT="#FFFFFF" LINK="#2CB0FB" VLINK="#2CB0FB" topmargin="0" leftmargin="0"> <div style="position: absolute; top: 0; width: 100%; left: 0;"> <center> <img src="http://i856.photobucket.com/albums/ab128/R0NDOGG/website/home.gif" width="1012" height="853" border="0" usemap="#Map"> </center>* Is it possible with HTML to take a music video and make it the entire background of a page? If so, how would I? Hi All, I have a background image centered in the middle of my screen. The problem I have is that when I view the page on 800x600 or 1024x768 the background image bottom appears to be chopped off. The only way that I can get to see the bottom of my image is by forcing my content to the very bottom of the page. I have the following set in my CSS Code: body
{
background-image:url('image.gif');
background-color: #03174b;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
overflow:hidden;
background-position: center;
{
and like this for my CSS Code: #h1
{
color:#effc1d;
position:absolute;
left:260px;
top:120px;
font-family:Helvetica;
font-size:17px;
}
I am a bit of a newbie to your exacting help would be greatfully received! Hello all, I'm making a website and I'm trying to figure out how http://blizzforums.com/ put an image at the top of there page but made it unselectable like a background, same for the news dividers, there unselectable also. Thanks, Zaroth Hello! I'm having this problem and am not sure if it can be solved: I have table with text. The text length varies as it is user-inputed. I want to have, as background, 2 graphics that encapsulate it on the vertical axis. They look like "[" and "]" but inverted. What I am aiming to do is have the text start with the "inverted-[", continue to stretch and then end with "inverted-]". How can it be done, please? There is only one TD and both graphics willl get covered with text, so I can't have one as background for the text TD and the last one just at the end without any text on it... Ok, newbie here... I have two questions about background pics... I downloaded an image which I want to use as a background pic. The pic is located in the same folder as the my html script (Wordpad). I can get it to display but the pic is "broken up"; the image basically cuts off on the right, and then starts over. How can I fix it? This is a page for my sister-in-law; I wanted to email her a sample page but when I test-emailed it to myself, the background pic didn't display. I am pretty sure it has to do with the path; any recommendations? Thanks so much for your help! S. Normally when I add a background image to a frame the image repeats itself in a tiled fashion, you know what I mean. Is there any way to change this so it only shows the background image once. I don't want tiled. Thanks!! Arc. Hi, i have been asked to create a page for an existing website. I have created the page using one of the site pages html code, basically i just copied the html layout, and added my own pics/words, and saved it on my computer. What have to do now is get this page to the website administrator. What is the best way?. I tried to upload to a server without success. Can it be emailed?. All i need is for the website admin to view the page so hey can add it to the site. Sory to bother you with simple stuff, Thanks, Tom. I got this code (below) from an html tutorial and added into mt index page and my css file. And all that shows on the web page is CONTENT GOES HERE. I guess I need a corner image named box-bg?

<div class="topleft">
<div class="topright">
<div>
CONTENT GOES HERE
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="bottomleft">
