  5. two HTML files for the same page?

    in HTML/XHTML

    Posted

    This should really contain a quick answer i guess, but i thought i would put it here for discussion...

     

    I am making a website which is going to be the homepage of what i do later on, including programs, templates and a portfolio.

     

     

    I'm doing the first draft, and i have 3 sidebars on the right, for which i used the <table> tags.

     

    Although this is a fairly easy way of doing this, its filling up my notepad page by way too much :S

     

     

    Is it possible for me to take out all of table HTML code, put it in a new HTML file, then link it into the original page, without it being a second page?

     

    Or do i just need to deal with this kind of issue?

     

     

    Thanks a lot,

    Danny

  6. DIV tags

    in HTML/XHTML

    Posted

    I understand it sounds stupid, since HTML 5 makes things so much easier in terms of presentation and organization of your page, but until IE9 becomes a proper update instead of a beta, i guess the Div tags seem more appealing to me since they work the exact same on every browser...

     

    And thanks virtual, its what i am aiming for :D

  9. DIV tags

    in HTML/XHTML

    Posted

    Okay, im wanting to have several layers in a website like i had done using HTML5 with the stuff like:

    <section>
title
<article>
Waffles
</articles>
</section>

     

    But, im going back to HTML4 to use DIV tags, and im confused about how the ordering works.

     

    So my question is how does the website decide which </div> goes to which <div id>?

  10. Browser differences

    in CSS

    Posted

    Wow thanks guys, this is all very helpful!

     

     

    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css" media="screen" />

     

    This is my link to the css page, i copied and pasted it from somewhere else since its one of those things you can copy without it being a copy of someone else's website...

     

     

    Since your all saying some browsers dont work great with html 5 and css 3, do you think they will have updates that will synchronize them together in order to all work with it?

     

    Also, does anyone know what Opera uses? On the tutorial i was watching, it refered to 

    -moz-linear-gradient(

    and 

    -webkit-gradient(

    , but does Opera fit into either of these? It is the best browser in my opinion, but i see a lot of online games have trouble with it, and im guessing its through things like this...

     

     

    Wickham, that website was highly useful, it has shown me that my version of internet explorer doesn't support any of the CSS3 styles, so i guess i am currently downloading the IE9 beta to test this out :)

     

     

     

    On another note, if i want a sidebar for the old html and css, what would i need to edit? The sidebar on Firefox isn't moving to the side like it is on other browsers, so i guess its from the HTML 5 and CSS3 update. All i want this sidebar to do at the moment is move to the right hand side of my text. :P My current html code is:

     

    <aside>
Sidebar
</aside>

     

    And my css is:

     

    aside
{
float: left;
width: 200px;
background: blue;
}

     

    Please note, i was practicing the new HTML coding here at first, thats why this is so basic, i understand this makes for a terrible sidebar :D

     

    Thanks a lot,

    Danny

  11. Browser differences

    in CSS

    Posted

    Okay, i was watching videos from the(i think) administrator of this website on youtube, Killerphp, and i came across a problem with the css.

     

    If the answer for this could address these points by linking with the numbering, it would be much easier for both of us :)

     

    1. Firefox.

     

    I can get most of the colors and gradients working fine, unlike on the other browsers, however my sidebar isn't at the side of the text like on other browsers either. The background works.

     

    2. Safari and Opera:

     

    I can get most colors and ordering done fine, but gradients wont work. Also, the background doesn't work(this is a gradient).

     

    Safari is also about 10x better quality than Opera.

     

    3. Internet explorer:

     

    This doesn't seem to even notice there is an external css sheet involved, which worries me the most because its to my beliefs that Internet explorer is the most widely used browser...

     

    4. Chrome:

     

    All the gradients and colors work perfectly except the background. Some of the gradients on this one wouldn't even appear on firefox.

     

     

    I am refering to -webkit and -moz, but only -moz is working, and not all the gradients work unlike on the tutorials in which everything works.

     

     

    What do people think i should focus on to be the working browser, as i use Opera, but i think a lot of people use Internet explorer.

     

    Thanks a lot,

    Danny

     

     

    Oh, and it may be important for me to say that this is using HTML 5 and CSS 3.

  14. External PHP(very easy question)

    in PHP

    Posted

    Okay, im new to PHP.

     

    The only PHP code i have used successfully is a download PHP, which can be done by using html, but i was having issues with that.

     

    Every guide i was looking at for PHP coding used an PHP file, however for my PHP script i used it inside the HTML file. This caused a lot of confusion as it didn't look very neat, and i was unorganized when i wanted to edit the whole page.

     

    Is there a specific code for doing this externally, or does it depend on the PHP code?

     

    Thanks,

    Danny

  16. This forum

    in Advanced Web Design

    Posted

    I was just wondering, how was this forum created?

     

    I briefly stopped using notepad to create websites, and went onto 'Joomla', and i installed the Kunena update for it to create a forum, but that gave me little to edit personally, and i had to follow its schemes exactly.

     

    This is my website which used Joomla to create a forum.

     

    I'm guessing this either doesn't use Joomla, or the developer created his own Joomla add-on.

     

    Does anyone know the method he(or she) used to create it? I am pretty sure scripting it all yourself using notepad would take weeks, and lots of effort, but as i have said in my other posts around here, i am only 15, and am pretty new to programming and web development.

     

    Thanks,

    Danny

  18. Total beginner - where to start?

    in Beginners Web Design

    Posted

    This is a tad late, but you could download a template, and look through different parts to see what different things do...

     

    Thats how i learnt the slightly more advanced stuff, and how i learnt some better setups too.

     

     

    I do suggest that you spend quite a while getting to grips with HTML, and making sure you understand it all, then go onto CSS(external CSS is much easier to edit and looks better).

     

     

    After you can use CSS easily, PHP would be your last step, which i am currently on. I had to go back to HTML at first, as i hadn't covered forms, which are a major part of quite a few PHP scripts.

     

     

    But this is coming from a 15 year old boy, so i would follow guides online if your not certain about my methods :D

  19. ZIP trouble

    in Peer-to-Peer Reviews

    Posted

    Okay, i created a very simple game on Microsoft Visual Basic Express 2010, and since i can't find out how to change this to an 'exe.' file, i put all the necessary files into a ZIP folder(WinZIP to be precise).

     

    Now, i can access this myself, and if i send it people through skype they can access it, but for some reason it wont work through my website.

     

    This link will take you directly to the download.

     

    I have used PHP for the file transfer, which also works fine.

     

     

    If you have downloaded it before reading this, you will notice a significant problem.

     

    When i try to open the ZIP file after uploading, i get the error message:

     

    1z1zod3.jpg

     

    Does anyone know what i have done wrong, or at least how to turn my application into an Exe. file to avoid this?

     

     

    Thanks alot,

    Danny
