HTML - Proper Use Of Tables & Flashworks Help
I am still unsure of the proper time to use <td>s <table>s etc. I have been getting into the habit of always useing CSS to format my pages. Will using <table>s make it any easier to make my web pages?
Second, I was wondering if there are any good websites providing free help with Fireworks 8. I am not very good with it and want to learn more to make my sites more appealing. Thank-you. Nathan Similar TutorialsHello, I'm currently hosting my website through another domain but am using a .com which forwards you to my site. Example; go to www.example.com and it takes you to www.bluered.com/example/main.html . The problem is that when searching through Google, it is not recognizing my .com name, only the hosting url. I attempted a Java 301 redirect which I applied to the body section of my HTML but I am not sure if it worked. This is the code I entered: <% response.setStatus(301); response.setHeader( "Location", "http://www.new-url.com/" ); response.setHeader( "Connection", "close" ); %> I replaced the "http://www.new-url.com/" with my .com name and placed this code in the code on my landing page. Can anyone give me some suggestions, tips? It would be greatly appreciated. Thank you I am having HTML page which also includes css. It works properly in firefox, but in IE the whole document is not get well aligned What changes should i have to make to view it in any browser. Thanks Hi, my name is Josh, and I'm fairly new to website design, so therefore, also a little new to HTML. I apologize in advance for the length of my post, but I feel I really need to be specific as much as possible. Let me be honest with you. I have very limited knowledge on the subject, but I am a quick learner. Anyway, I'm creating a directory on my website where the visitor would be able to clink on one of 51 links, aligned in 3 columns, to take them to a page listing businesses within one of the 50 states. The 51st link, of course, would be directing visitors to an international listing page. Then below the links for the different states, there is supposed to be 26 links, one for each letter of the alphabet, so the visitor can find a business by name. Following that, of course, would begin the listing of the businesses. Basically, I've been teaching myself HTML so far by viewing the source code of pages I visit, and I discover a basic idea of how to do different things with web design. Let me show you the format I've been trying to grasp with this project by giving you an example code. The following code places the links for the states all at the bottom, and also they are not aligned properly, as the first column appears higher than the second which is also higher than the third. I'm not sure I quite understand the way this code works, or what mistake I'm making with it. What I would actually rather do is have a code creating a drop-down box which the visitor would just select their option, and be directed to the requested page immediately, but I don't know how to do that either. At any rate, I do also need to figure out how to get those state-by-state links to appear at the top of the business listings instead of at the very bottom of the page the way it is appearing now with this code. If anybody could help me figure out what the heck I'm doing, I would really appreciate it.

Thank you everyone in advance for your assistance... Hi, I'm writing a terms and conditions page in plain XHTML where we have lots of text along the lines of this: 1 Lorem ipsum intro to 1 1.1 More blurb goes in here 1.2 and a whole bunch of other stuff you can't do 2 La-di-dah here's section two 2.1 this that and the other I'd like to use nested ordered lists (OL tags), but we are quite rigid about the numbering in that the sub-sections must be x.x. This is so we can refer to them without any ambiguity. Getting the layout and positioning is no problem, but I don't see how to write this with OL tags. I tried using VALUE="2.1" in the LIs but this doesn't work. I'm assuming a list is the proper thing to use in this case, but I'm open to other ideas (DL maybe???). I am unsure which of the below methods of embedding a flash object into a web page is correct - and which is a deprecated method. Any help would be very much appreciated!

Is there any software to make that ? Or i have type by hand everythink ? Hello, I just recently started "cutting up" a website layout in Photoshop and coding it in Dreamweaver. Though I am aware that CSS would be best for doing this, I am still choosing to use a table for the layout. My question is, what is the proper way of hand coding a table? Mind you, this is a fairly complex table with many rows and columns and cells of all kinds of sizes. I used Photoshop to export the code and then went in and changed what I needed to. Photoshop uses spacer gif's in their table code. I'd like to try hand coding the table so that I don't have to use spacer gif's and then I'll be able to edit the table later on, more easily (to change the bottom layout, but keep top navigation on all pages.) Right now, with the spacer gif's I can't add any cells without the whole layout falling apart. I'm just looking for good code for building complex tables (coding by hand). Thanks! Here's a link to the site I'm working on: http://www.matthewpavkov.com/dtim/index.html Currently my website uses frames and no css. I need to update it, but I'm in a huge time crunch!!! (And don't know css and only know very very basic HTML) I need my website to be functional (not in limbo) by next weekend, so it either has to stay how it is now (frames & older HTML) or be totally done by then. Is there anywhere that I can get help to do this automatically instead of waiting until later when I have way more time to learn it myself (that changes your code easily/automatically), or super awesome people who love HTML and will do it for me? It's a pretty simple/basic website and I would be SO so SO appreciative. Hello- A quick question for those in the know: Is it considered "proper" to put multiple between words to space them out, or is another method preferred as the "correct" way to do it? I've used tables and transparent 1x1 .gifs for spacing as well depending on the page, but there are a number of times where it's just easier to lay about ten or fifteen nbsps in there till the text is nudged over where you need it and be done with it. Makes for an ugly source, but seems to work fine. It seems to render properly doing it this way, at least in IE and Firefox, but is it still kosher to do so? Or is everything "proper" supposed to be done with style sheets now? Thanks, Hi Normally, when you have more than one table in your code, the tables will be placed one under each other. Example: <table> ... </table> <table> ... </table> When you want the tables to be placed next to each other, you need to set the align attribute. Example: <table align="left"> ... </table> <table align="left"> ... </table> BUT: When you do it like in the 2nd example (tables next to each other), in Firefox, the tables will wrap to a new line if there is no more space. In Internet Explorer, the tables will not wrap. The result is a horizontal scrollbar or "hidden tables". Why this? How can I make the tables wrap also in Internet Explorer as it does in Firefox? Is it possible with a special CSS definition or with a special DIV/SPAN tag? Thanks for your help praiser Hey everyone, I'm new to these boards. Somewhat a newbie at web design, but I know basics. I'm looking to put 2 tables adjacent to each other inside another table. My problem is I can't get the tables to line up the way I want them to. I'll post a picture of how I want it to look, how it looks now and my code. How I want it to look: How it looks now: I want the tables to line up at the top and re-size according to each other so they're always aligned at the top. Code: coming in next 2 posts Hey htmlforum and members can someone help me out with a carousel for image *small_blank.png*..(just start me off) thanx... -tikki- PHP Code: <tr> <td colspan="3" rowspan="2"> <img src="imagesxx/small_blank.png" width="234" height="83" alt=""></td> <td> <img src="imagesxx/spacer.gif" width="1" height="74" alt=""></td> </tr> i have the script needed http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamici.../carousel2.htm I'm starting a forum here, and I really want to get it up soon. But I can't because I'm having trouble w/ the header. On the header there's supposed to be text on top of it, but it's not. It's on the side. Can anyone help? Thank you. Here's the code:
Code: <a name="top"></a> <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" width="696px" align="center"> <tr> <td bgcolor="#ddeef7"> <table border="0" cellspacing="1px" cellpadding="6" width="100%"> <tr> <td width="74%" bgcolor="#ffffff"> <table border="0" width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tr> <td valign="top" rowspan="2"><a href="index.php"><img src="./images/oxygen/logo.png" alt="Ne-YoFan.com Online Community" border="0" /></a></td></tr> <tr> <td align="right" valign="top"><font class="smalltxt">Last active: 14-6-2008 at 08:10 PM<br /></font></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right" valign="bottom"><font class="smalltxt">Logged in as <a href="member.php?action=viewpro&member=Erika">Erika</a><br />[<a href="misc.php?action=logout">Logout</a> - <a href="u2u.php" onclick="Popup(this.href, 'Window', 700, 450); return false;">U2U</a> - <a href="memcp.php">User Control Panel</a> - <a href="cp.php">Administration Panel</a>]</font></td> </tr> </table> Back in 2004, i created a site, with tables. Have no idea how I did it, someone must have helped me. I want to update that site and make the center section wider than the sides (the sides can be of equial width). The URL is http://www.ilovejesus.com/lot/awesomebks/news.shtml Can someonehelp me with this? I need the code from the beginning of the table to the end of that column, that is Column 1, (left side) back to top for Column 2 (center), back to top for Column 3 (right side) and to the bottom of that column. I would like the center column to be at least 2x as wide as the side columns. Tell me how to end the tables and begin the text which will be straight across page. Thanks. I have been working on rebuilding a website using my somewhat dated knowledge of html. It works fine for my daily needs but I got to a page where I needed a table in a table. What I did looks great in Firefox, but when I check it in IE7 it turns into a nightmare. I'm stuck. Can anyone shed any light on where I turned left when I should have turned right (or something of that sort)? I tacked the page onto another site for now. It's at: http://www.cincinnatigolfcourseguide...m-ductwork.php I have my table all finished and everything.. it looks nice, except the fact that my words.. some of them are cut off. anyone know how to fix this? I have tried making my table smaller in width than my "div", but that still doesn't work. If you could please help me I would greatly appreciate it, and I would like to thank you in advance. I am trying to slightly reduce the size of the left row on my pages at http://www.mustseedaily.com/. I want to grow the middle table slightly to the left, but I just can't figure out what to change. I have been puzzling over this for some time, and I can usually figure this stuff out, but this one has me baffled. The html is attached. Thanks for any help! Hi everybody, I am kind of a newbie and i have a "big" problem which i can't solve. I created some menu tables on the left side of my site, but I cannot seem to align them to the top of the table and they keep moving to the middle. On one version of this site i "pushed" them upwards with another 100% height invisible table from the bottom but it doesnt seem to work on an other version. Please help me! How could I align the tables to the top inside of another table? Thanks a lot for your help! If I was hardly understandable I'm sorry, I created a little example table: <table height=400 width=600 border=3 bordercolor=#000000><tr> <td width=20% border=3 bordercolor=#000000><table> <td border=3 bordercolor=#000000 align=center><table><tr><td><table border=1 bordercolor=#000000><tr><td><table align=center><tr><td> Menu 1</td></tr></table></td></tr><tr><td><table><tr><td></td><td> <a href="">Button 1</a></td></tr></table></td></tr><tr><td><table> <tr><td></td><td><a href="">Button 2</a></td></tr></table></td></tr> </table></td></tr></table><table><tr><td><table border=1 bordercolor=#000000><tr><td><table align=center><tr><td>Menu 2</td> </tr></table></td></tr><tr><td><table><tr><td> </td><td><a href="">Button 1</a></td></tr></table></td> </tr><tr><td><table><tr><td></td><td> <a href="">Button 2</a></td></tr></table></td></tr></table></td></tr> </table></td> </table></td> <td width=80% border=3 bordercolor=#000000 valign=top align=center>How could I "stick" the menu tables on the left side to the top, like this text on the right side with valign=top? </td></tr><table> Code: <table width="400" border="2" class="pay" id="pay">

table.pay col.firstCol {background-color: rgb(255, 255, 192)}
table.pay col.feeCol {background-color: rgb(232,232,255)}
table.itemsDims {width:12%;}
im supposed to create a heading row group, a body row group, and column groups containing one column element belonging to the firstCol class, and another column element belonging to the feeColumns class which should span two columns in the web table. was just wondering where im going wrong here since when i do my css.. the background colors or no changes seem to be applied to the columns or the headers (thead) |
