HTML - This One Should Be Easy For You Guys

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

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.

Hi Jquery Guros,
I develop register form (in arabic).
I added "validator.addMethod" to check the firstname text.I want to check that the "firstname" text must be in INGLISH leter and Numbers(means, user

can't insert arabic leters or anything else).

I added the script:
///////// chack firstname (English leter OR numbers
<b> Code:

$.validator.addMethod("firstname",function(value,element){
return this.optional(element) || /^[a-zA-Z0-9._-]{3,16}$/i.test(value);
},"Username are 3-15 characters");

</b>


You can check the script at:

Can anybody help me guys?

Thanks a lot.
Sam.

Hi there, I haven't coded in HTML for ages and now I'm just trying to put a little site together - but I've forgotten how to do one particular simple thing, and I can't find info anywhere!

Basically, I want to have all my text spread out on one main page, and use those special links that you can do to certain parts of the page. I know that it involves something to do with hashes! So you have one hash tag at a certain part of the page, and you can click on a link to take you directly there. Sorry this is so basic!! Many thanks!

I am struggling with a very basic problem. I cant get a link to work on my website. I have a index.html site with the main code which links to a page called faq.html.

The relevant HTML code is as follows (i also include the stuff at the top of the html page in case its relevant). I also include the CSS script (on a separate file) which may or may not be relevant. Can anyone help?




<html>
<head>
<title>THREE-COLUMN FIXED LAYOUT WITH FIXED BOXES</title>
<Link rel=stylesheet href="styles.css" type="text/css">
<! DOCTYPE html PUBLIC " - //W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN"
"http://w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd"><LINK rel=stylesheet type=text/css
</head>




<BODY>

<BODY BACKGROUND="topbackground.gif">



<DIV id=header>
<DIV id=logo>
<a>giftcardgo.com</A>
</DIV>

<DIV id=topnav>
<UL>
<LI><A href="faq.html">FAQ</A>
<LI><A href="#">About us</A>
<LI><A href="#">Contact us</A> </LI></UL></DIV>
</DIV>

</div>


The CSS script relevant to the top navigation (which is where the FAQ tab and link is) is as follows:

#topnav {

clear:left;



position: absolute;
left: 400px;
top: 75px;
margin:0;
padding:0;
text-align:center;
}

#topnav ul {

margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: small;
color: #FFF;
line-height: 80%;
float: right;


}

#topnav li {

display: inline;
list-style-type: none;
font-size: 80%;


}


#topnav a {

padding: 5px 0;
width: 65px;
background: 3399ff;
color:black;

text-decoration: none;

}

#topnav a:hover {
border-top: 1px solid #FFFFFF;
border-left: 1px solid #FFFFFF;
border-bottom: 1px solid #FFFFFF;
border-right: 1px solid #FFFFFF;
background: 3366ff;
}

I was trying to link a video I uploaded to my ISP on myspace, but I can't get it to happen.

I have looked around on Google and everywhere else and whatever is recommended looks like it will work, but doesn't play anything. (I try previewing it through FrontPage)

Any ideas?
HTML Code:

<p align="center">
      <object
             width="500"

This is my main page: http://www.bestsellersworld.com
I want to get rid of the extra space on the right hand side where everything will fit on the page. I don't know much about tables. Can someone help me?

1 ) After a lot of trial and error trying to work out why one of my form buttons was slighty out of place to where it should be i traced it to the fact i didin't have this at the top of the html,

HTML Code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

can anyone enlighten me here, all other elements seemed to be aligned up, but one button wasn't until i added this?

2) If you are linking to 2 different external css files, so

HTML Code:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="styleXXX.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="styleYYY.css" />

etc...

and have say a same class in both but each class with different properties then what happens, for ex, you could have a body class in styleXXX.css as,

HTML Code:

body
{
		 background-color red;

}

and in styleYYY.css which also has a body class but different background color, such as,

HTML Code:

body
{
		 background-color green;

}

which one takes precedence ?

Ok ive made a 100% custom html website and it looks pretty good for my first one but i just added new pages and ive added them with a code the this
Code:

<li><a href="MYLINKHEREMYLIKEHERE">Order</a></li>

and i have it leading to the second page but when it takes me to the second page it has no background and it only shows the red font but if you highlight the page you can see everything else take a look! The home page looks fine its just the Prices and the Order page that dont work.

Hey guys,
I'm new to the forums. My name is Joe. I am a network admin of a decent size company and just recently picked up the job title of web site support, of which I know almost nothing about. The only html experience I have had is doing ebay listings. Ok enough of that, heres my problem. On the main page of our company website we have a weird symbol showing up that doesnt appear to be in the code. What shows is:

"Queen City Reprographics is a leading supplier of digital imaging services, supplies and equipment. Since 1908 we have been providing our clients innovative solutions for their imaging needs. Although founded as a blueprint company in 1908, we have evolved into a national supplier of state of the art imaging solutions.

Now almost 100 years later, we are recognized as an industry leader with the highest level of commitment to our clients, employees, and vendors. Find out why we are "Not Just A Source, but a Resource�".

The symbol in question is the little square after the last word "resource" some of us see it as a blank square and others see it as a small square with a question mark in it. I have a very basic knowledge of this kind of stuff and I dont seem to see it in the code so could someone tell me what im doing wrong? You can go to www.qcrepro.com to see it for yourself. Here is the code as I see it. Thanks:

<table width="840" border="0">
<tr>
<td width="524" height="150"><div align="justify"><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Queen
