HTML - Double Quotes Or Single Quotes
Hi HTMLers,
Is it okay to use single quotes instead of double quotes in HTML tags Kenny Similar TutorialsHi, I have a site where commas and quotes change to \\\" once the article is posted. It doesn't do that when I write the punctuations in Word and paste it into the site, but when I write them directly in the site's content windows I get that annoying thing. It does that pretty much everywhere so it must be related to the CSS. Can anyone clue me in on how to fix that? I'm using charset=iso-8859-1. Here's the site and page with errors in question. The errors appear in the score breakdown (GRAPHICS/GAMEPLAY), probably because the writer wrote that part directly as opposed to using Word. Note: if the errors aren't there, we probably fixed it (don't like have that). How do I double indent? I use <dd> for a single indent, but I need a double indent, so something like this I currently have this: Single indent I need this: Double indent I've got a scanned in document that has been processed by OCR - Omnipage - and saved as html. The paragraphs often list five or six items. Most of the paragraphs are single space but some are double spaced. In the original all are single spaced. I would like them all to be single spaced. The code seems very complicated with 'spans' and 'divs' and 'box' and 'style' and long lists of parameters repeated frequently. Too frequently I imagine, machine generated stuff, but I'm not an html coder. The point is I couldn't figure out for the life of me what it was that caused one para to be double spaced and another to be single spaced. Here's a sample of the code that causes double spacing (hope its okay to put snippets of code in these posts, moderator? ) <p><span style="font-family: Tahoma,sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 15pt; letter-spacing: 0.3pt;">* To be informed of, and involved in, Centre Management and practices;</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: Tahoma,sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 15pt; letter-spacing: 0.3pt;">* To have accessibility to information about the Centre through written policies and programs; and </span></p> <p><span style="font-family: Tahoma,sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 15pt; letter-spacing: 0.3pt;">* To be provided with support and assistance in the parenting role. </span></p> <p style="margin: 4.8px 0px 9.6px 9.6px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; line-height: normal;"> </p> </div> <div class="Box" style="border: 0pt none rgb(255, 255, 255); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); width: 549.65pt; left: 99.15pt; top: 1107px; height: 192px;"> <p What I'm planning to do now is copy the whole section and paste to notepad to get rid of all html and then pick it up again and put it back into html. I've tried NVU, Frontpage and Dreamweaver and I can't find a way in any of them to simply strip out all the crap and - obviously - I can't find a way to strip out this double spacing thing. regards, ab Hi there. I am upkeeping a website in wordpess and one of the posts has links which always appear to be double-spaced. I want them to be single-spaced. I have tried changing around the html coding and such but it has not changed the spacing. I don't know much about html so my attempts have been experimentational. The html tags in there are ul, li and a href=. I've tried taking each out to no avail. What should I do? Thank you very much for your help. I've seen this used but I can't find any info on what it's meant to do. example: <<style>#saleDiv{display:none;}</style>> It's a user entered css on a social site. I'm coding a simple HTML email in BBedit. Everything looks perfect and opens up fine in most email client, Gmail, yahoo, hotmail... all but Outlook 2007. Apparently Outlook doesn't like HTML because it keeps adding an extra space between sentences and extra spaces after all my <p> and <br /> tags. Does anyone know what code I have to add to fix this issue? I've searched the web for the past two days and can't find an a clear answer. Thanks!

I have a set of web pages with a horiz nav bar across the top that has buttons that load various pages in the iframe target area on the lower 3/4 of the screen. We want the entire screen scrollable with one scrollbar as one solution, OR the entire iframe area scrollable with a single scroll bar as another possible solution, does not matter which. What we do not want is for the user to have two manipulate two scroll bars (the iframe one and the outside one) in order to view the bottom of the iframe area. Thanks in advance, Ron E. ---------------------- Code: <p><center><table width="50%" bgcolor="black" cellpadding="20px"><tr><td><a href="index.html">Home</a></td><td><a href="imglist.html">Img list</a></td></tr><td><a href="about.html">About</a></td></tr></table></center></p> in ie the center works fine, but in firefox its almost 2 inches to the left of being center, why would that be? ive tried to change the precent and all, but that doesnt do a thing. Ok, I'm in the process of creating a file explorer using 2 cgi scripts and one html file. The html file creates 2 frames, and calls 1 of the cgi scripts in each frame. The cgi scripts are written in python and html code. What I want I need to do is be able to click on a directory in the left frame and it opens it up in the right frame, while also opening the directory up in the left frame. Now link is dynamic seing as there are several directories. So I want to make it so that when I click on the directory link, it opens two links, modifying both frames. So I tried adding this underlined code in my code in the script that is called in the left frame: frame2 is the name of the second frame. #!/usr/bin/python print "Content-type: text/html\n\n" import re,os,sys def arbre(repertoire): liste=os.listdir(repertoire) print "<html>" +str(sys.argv[1])+ "<html>" for fichier in liste: if os.path.isdir(repertoire+"/"+fichier): print "<html>" "<div style='position:relative; top:15; width:500; height:20;'>" "<a href='http://localhost/cgi-bin/liste.cgi?"+str(sys.argv[1])+"/"+str(fichier)+"' onClick='parent.frame2.location.href='http://localhost/cgi-bin/contenu.cgi?"+str(sys.argv[1])+"/"+str(fichier)+"'>" "<img src='http://localhost/apache2-default/repertoire.gif' width='25' height='25' alt='blarr' align=left border=no>" "</img>" "</a>" "<h5>" ,fichier, "</h5>" "</div>" "</html>" arbre(sys.argv[1]) This does not work, the left frame(frame1) works the same, but the second frame is not modified, help please?

Hi I have site it has windows media player embeded in it, it plays some live stream, I want page to load than stream to load it take about 5 seconds to load, I want html code to double click on windows media player so it will be full screen automatically without user doing it. Please help me Thank you. I hand coded my website myself, but whilst working perfectly in IE, there are some problems when viewing it using Firefox. Specifically, the table rows have double-spacings (scroll down to the 'Education' section he www.lombrozo.co.uk/resume.html), and also table borders have a 3D look (a black border to emphasise the shadow), again, this shadow is not visible in IE...

Thank you~ We have an embedded device which server up a webpage. All parts of it works fine with a PC. We are now connecting it to a PDA running Windows CE 4.2 .NET. The webpages display fine in internet explorer. When we download a file the download dialog appears twice. The first download dialog downloads the file. The 2nd one fails and then further downloads will not run. We suspect the problem lies in http headers.

Cheers, Peter Short Sersion: What the best way to make a link dragabal but not clickable while being dragged? Long Version: I have a bunch of icons links (in layers) that the visitor can drag over the screen and even remove if they want to. (it's totally cosmetic, and everything is reset as soon as the page is refreshed, but it ads a level of detail - hence why am doing it) Since this is an unnecessary function it cannot interfere with the visitor’s ability to use the site smoothly. Therefore my issue; Since the links are dragabal, as soon as you click the link to drag it does what a link does and loads the page (after you release/drop it) Fix 1. The Shift. The quickest fix is to set the top margin of the button to the height of the image of the button. This way when you click it the button is shifted down and the handle becomes the area above the button, this way you can’t click the button while dragging. This does somewhat kill the effects, it looks a little odd when you go to click and drag the link and suddenly the links shifts down and you are holding the empty space above it. But it does solve the problem very simply and there for should be considered. Fix 2. The DblClick This is even a simpler fix to fix1 but it could interfere with the usability of the site… Setting the link to activate on a double click instead of a single click. This way the click to drag the button doesn’t activate the link. http://www.htmlforums.com/showthread.php?t=84281 Fix 3. “Block Layer” Another thought is to show a hidden layer when the drag function is activated this will block the link from being clicked. The “block’ layer can be hid again once the button is dropped, or in my case since I am already using the on drop event and have “only when snapped” checked, set the “block” layer to hide on mouse out, and assign a onclick link to the “block’ layer as well, incase the visitor tries to click the link after dragging it without mouseing off it first. This as far as I can see is the best compromise, however it adds a lot of additional code and mouse events that could effect the performance of the page. The best fix would be to disable the onclick event while dragging but I am not sure how to do that, and if you even can. Additionally I would assume that if disabled, the onclick event would need to be enabled after dragging, and since I am already using the on drop/ when dropped event and have “only when snapped” checked that could pose a problem.
