HTML - "comments" In Closing Tags
Hi all.
Working on some php program, i tried to get the things tidy in my HTML code. So what I did is something like this : Code: <div id="something"> ... some php code and stuff ... </div id="something"> It seems to work, not even a warning with the firefox extension to validate HTML. So I'm wondering. Are closing tags not parsed farther than the word following the '/' ? As I have not tested it on other browsers, do you think it's safe to keep it like this ? I browsed the HTML 4.01 reference, not found a line about the way closing tags may be treated. I still think it's a very good way for me to debug/find my toes in a long HTML file, only need a regexp to have my whole <div> element, no more eye killing research counting the </div>s. But I'm afraid some browsers reject these closing tags. Any advice ? Thanks.

I don't understand it, I think it should be: HTML Code: <meta charset="UTF-8" /> Can anyone explain it to me? Hi everyone. I've got a website up and running and it looks fab. I've allocated a page for comments or feedback - but setting it up is proving more difficult than I thought! I thought it would just be a simple case of creating/copying some HTML and away we go ... apparantly not I just want something where guests can leave their name a small comment. Nothing fancy really. I would like it to sit on an existing page though. Can anyone give me any tips on this? Hello all, It'd be much appreciated if someone could tell me how to make the font smaller and remove visible tags (found on the left hand side) on my Tumblr page. I have the option to edit the HTML, but don't know where to begin. Here's a link to my Tumblr page. Any and all help would be appreciated. Thank you. Im moving to a strict Doctype and I can't be bothered inserting alt = "" tags to images that need them. Can anyone provide a regular expression that I could use in dreamweaver that would insert alt = "" into an <img > tag if it already didn't contain the alt = "" attribute A customer gave me a Word doc that they want turned into a printer friendly web page. I understand that there are tons of ways to do this but I really want the answer to the subject. What i'm referring to is a form that someone can print from the browser and "fill in the blanks" on the page where there are "underscores". My question is how to code those underscores. I tried manipulating the <hr> tag but it's putting way too much space in between each <hr>. I've already coded a "fill in the blank" line using <u> nbsp;</u> but that looks very messy. What do you guys/gals think? http://www.colletts.co.uk/winter_dolomites.htm I have the above page that redirects users to my Winter Website - the HTML below isn't valid W3C does anyone know of a better and valid way to get this done? Cheers, Mas HTML Code: <META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="2.5;URL=http://www.colletts.co.uk/winter/winter_dolomites.html" /> I was hoping someone could clue me in as to whether or not this would be possible. I'm thinking it isn't but I need to make sure. I'd like to provide a file for people to download on my website, but when they click on the link and the download window appears I don't want them to have the option of opening it. Is it possible to only give them the option to save the file? Sounds incredibly unlikely but I gotta know. Hello all, I've invented this tool called "New HTML tags" for creating new tags in HTML: http://4nf.org/ At the heart of the tool is the facility to speed up routine tasks in HTML, speed up time-to-market of operators etc. It also has numerous advantages in the area of on-page SEO. What do you think of it?

Hey, I'm trying to write some code for expanding and concealing text You can see this in action at youtube when you click the (more) button to expand text. Suppose I had a heading: MyHeading and a body of text: MyTextHere How do I make it so that when you click MyHeading it makes MyTextHere (initially not visible) appear, and when you click MyHeading again, it makes MyTextHere disappear?

Hi all, I am currently working on a website using Dreamweaver CS3. Whenever I view the (currently very basic) site in Firefox I get the line of code I entered as the title of this thread at the top of the page (directly above the banner) as if I had just typed it into the canvas area (correct term?). Whenever I view it in IE it appears just fine, not sure about other browsers though.

Niall Hello folks, I have written some html, xhtml possibly, which has an href to another page, the second page being in frames and in a new window. It worked fine on an Me but now in XP it won't open the 2nd window (from the link in the first) saying it can't locate file bla bla bla, check the address.... The odd thing is where there were gaps in the address which I blocked in with a " %20 " for the browser to recognise, its saying its looking for the right address but with a 25 where all the %20's are, as well as the twenties themselves, so they now appear as "html%2520code" for example. When I open the file that is the target of the link I get the typical white file not found page, but it is dividing the screen as the frames of that file tell it to do. I would appreciate somebody telling me what the error could possibly be hello, can you please give me a sample code showing the difference between ismap and usemap.

Any help in this issue would be appreciable. Thanks in advance Please help me. This is probably very simple. I have a webform that collects data and then a javascript function calculates som values. The problem I have is that in Sweden we use "," as a decimal separator but the form only accepts "." or else I get error. Please how do you change that!? I have really googled this but I am probably using the wrong terms. BR, Peter Just out of curiosity, if a server returns a page with code 3xx and a "Location: url_1" header, but also includes a <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=url_2"/> tag, then would the browser be expected to redirect to url_1 or url_2? |
