As I was going through the dreamweaver videos I found that collapsing the text in the code was a great tool to simplify things. I was wondering if there is a tag or method of doing it with basic html or css. Ralph

Thanks all for the info. Makes more sense to me now. Ralph

I am beginning to understand the basics of html and css. I was just wondering what templates are used for. I asume they are used to make a website and having all the basic code done for you. It seems to me that this is just trying to avoid all the basic work. Ralph

I am ok now and can see the videos ok. Finger trouble on my part. Thanks for the help. Ralph

I have recently finished Web Design 1,which I downloaded. I decided to join the university to view the tutorials. When I viewed the videos on my computer I could see the entire screen including the bar at the bottom including the pause and play. When I try to view a video at the university page I cannot see the entire video screen. This is very frustrating, I tried to scrolling up but only the page scrolls up not the video screen. What am I doing wrong? Ralph

I understand now. Of course I am quite a while from that stage, but now I can see the purpose of it. I find in most things, if one does not understand the basic details it can be frustrating. Thanks for the info Ralph

In the Web Design 1 course video #19. It talks about transfering files from my computer to the server and from server to my computer using FTP. I can understand how it is done. But I don't understand why it is done. Does the server want files from my webpage? I feel kind of stupid asking this question as it is probably very obvious. Don' like to pass over small details.

Hi again: Fixed my problem.It was a setting in wondows. Refer to http://www.killersit...509 Thanks for your help. Ralph

That was the problem.I can now switch pages ok. The box you mentioned was indeed checked. When I looked first, the ext were such as index.html.html. After I unchecked all was ok. I suspected it was a windows problem. Actually having problems like this is a good thing in that it forces me to dig into it. Thanks very much for your help. I can now carry on with my lessons. Ralph

Hi Wickham: Thanks for the info. I did indeed have some problems as you mentioned and corrected them. Still have the same problem. When I try to switch pages it indicates that it has switched but the browser still says it cannot display it. I even copied the example from the course files and have the same problem with that. I am sure the code is correct there. Possibly there is something that the browser needs to make it work. Ralph

Hi, I am working in Web Design 1 lesson 10.Which is about makeing pages. When I open the web page with internet explorer all the pages come up individually and look ok. When I try to move from page to page I get an error message for the browser saying it cannot display the page. I think I put the correct link info in the code page. This is what I have in the code: index page: <div id="navigation"> <ul> <li>Home</li> <li><a href="productList.html">Products</a></li> <li><a href="css.html">CSS</a></li> <li><a href="tables_tutorial.html">Tables Tutorial</a></li> </ul> </div> TablesTutorial Page: <div id="navigation"> <ul> <li><a href="index.html">Home</a></li> <li><a href="productList.html">Products</a></li> <li><a href="css.html">CSS</a></li> <li><a href="tables_tutorial.html">Tables Tutorial</a></li> </ul> </div> ProductList Page: <div id="navigation"> <ul> <li><a href="index.html">Home</a></li> <li><a href="productList.html">Products</a></li> <li><a href="css.html">CSS</a></li> <li><a href="tables_tutorial.html">Tables Tutorial</a></li> </ul> </div> I can't see a mistake. I am new at this and it is probably something simple. Can anyone help? Thanks Ralph
