HTML - Create Website Solely For The Purpose Of Showing Videos

Hi...
I'm a bit new to HTML & Photoshop
So I'm not sure if I'm on the right place..
Anyway I know a few things about HTML and CSS... Also about Photoshop...
I have been making some not awesome but good designs for blogs. I stopped a while ago since I kind of got bored at the time. For the last week I got a few new ideas and since then I'm planing a big come back. Anyway in the ideas I'm thinking of making a blog whos picture will be randomly selected among some of the ones I uploaded somewhere on then net. So I'm actualy looking for some type of a script that I could insert somewhere in the code that will somehow randomly select a link of lets say 3 links and then insert it somewhere else in the code. Or in more simple way ( i tend to complicate things ) I'm looking for something that will select a random picture from thoes to which I have links added in the code and then show it on the desired place as a backgraund and so on. I hope you understood me well (my English isn't the best too) and I hope to have an answer soon... Thank you in advance...

Hello there. Firstly, thank you for any and all help here.

I am no web developer, but I have done some for my degree and other various bits/bobs.

I produced a very simplistic website for a client, however the website is showing up different, on different PC's and I cannot get to the bottom of it. Now, I know this is down to my own inexperience in coding, but I followed various books, online suggestions for layout (relative, margin) positioning techniques, and the website looks fine on my PC, on my mrs work PC, even on the clients PC in his office (this is a mixture of IE8 - Win7, XP).

However, I get an email from the client, and his understudy, last night saying the website looks terrible. All the text the 3rd column looks out of line (maybe because I used line:height?).

As you can see, without having a clear understanding of the backbone of HTML coding, I am going to suffer.

The CSS validates, the HTML validates with W3c.

The website is:
http://www.fpcuk.co.uk

The issue is with IE7 and IE8. I coded the website in IE8, but it looks different on IE7.

Could you have a look at it for me, and let me know where I have gone wrong. or give me some tips on making it compatible with both IE7 / IE8. There is only about 20 lines of code. It is mainly the right-hand column.

Here 's a few images:
IE7

IE8

I have nothing but respect for Web Developers, having to build websites for different browsers versions, damn..

So, after looking at my code - can you see any glaring issues that will cause it to distort the layout in different versions.
Thank you very much.

EDIT:

FFS!!! I'm tearing my hair out with this. I just cannot get the website to look right in IE7 and IE8 - its driving me fking crazy..

Even adding;
Code:

<meta http-equiv=”X-UA-Compatible” content=”IE=EmulateIE7″ />

To the top of the page, hoping this will force IE8 to be compatible with IE7 does not work. How on earth am I supposed to figure this out. Everything I try looks different, everything. Not much help here either.

Hi! I have just reuploaded my site, which contains 3 image flips, and I am only seeing the outline of where the images should be in both Safari and Internet Explorer. This is strange because before re-uploading, this functioned just fin. Any ideas? Thanks!

Here is the problem area:

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.

At the moment the website I am updating doesn't use frames and I have to keep it that way for now but every single page I make for it has to have all the advertizements and links and all that copied to it. Is there a command that lets you write a html file with code that you can reference in other code to load it so that you only have to change the first code file full of, say, ads to make all the pages load the correct set of ads instead of ones from 3 years ago? And this would be a way excluding the use of frames...

what is the best way to play videos in an html page??
i need to play videos in my site...

what is the fastest way to play videos in a normal speed (not slowly)

Im doing a website and have some videos up. I want to be able to have pictures of all the available videos and when the user clicks one of them I want that video to load right next to all the pictures. I remember Google videos had something like this, when you clicked the video you wanted it loaded the video in that page without getting rid of the pictures of all the videos, but they don't have that option anymore.
This is the website im doing.

Thanks in advance if I got you confused let me know.

I'm trying to make it possible to download a couple of MP4 videos off of the website I'm working on. I'm using the following code, which I'm pretty sure should work, because when I switch the video name to the .WMV version it works with no problem. The links also work fine when I open the .htm with Firefox or IE, they just fail when they're hosted and online.

<a href="Path to the video on my computer"><img src="Path to the image on my computer" alt="GR Magic Download"></a>

Does anyone know what is wrong and how I can fix it? The videos don't have to be playable (but it would be nice), they just need to be able to be downloaded.

Thanks!

Hey guys! So I've tried a couple themes for my blog on Tumblr.com and both themes I tried had "endless scrolling" and for some reason my videos are not displaying on these themes! In place of the videos it says "Flash player required"

(The videos are uploaded with Tumblr's video uploader, the few videos I have from Vimeo show up, but they do not fit the layout properly)

Is there anything I can do?

I can send anybody the HTML if you think you can help! (It's really long / I'm not sure if it will paste here) I can also send you the link to my blog!

Hi,

I am very new to writing HTML and a friend wrote this code for me to upload videos to a webpage I am making. Unfortunately the videos load and play automatically when the page is opened. I cannot figure out what is going wrong and I cannot get in touch with the friend who wrote the code in the first place. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can edit the code below so that the videos will only load when a person clicks the "play" button?
