I havent really gotten into coding programs or anything, but i would really like to learn how to do HTML to make websites and such

does anyone have ne way i can learn this or anything tools or resourses that could help me learn how to do this?

Here is where I learned everything, also, if you need something specific, just google it and usually things come up, and if you need something REALLY specific, feel free to get on MSN or some other messenger and ask people who have websites.

HTML Tutorials are the easiest things in the world to find on google, its things like Javascript that starts to get a little frustrating.

The best part of HTML would be knowing how to do tables incase you arent aware of it yet. Learn and master these and it makes your job 200 times easier to make a page.

Do NOT listen to this man.

You are not supposed to use tables to lay out a page. You are supposed to use divs and spans. Using tables to lay out a page is bad web design practice.

He said HTML not any of this new fancy stuff.

And if they're so bad...why are they in SENs source code when you view source?

Use divs/spans if you are trying to do page layout, invisible tables are a bit ridiculous, although I admit to being hypocritical since I've used them on my website, however if you're going for page layout, that's what divs are for.

DIVs and SPAN are PART of HTML/XHTML...

The best way to lay pages out is by using CSS with one call to a .CSS file that has everything pre-defined within the .CSS file.

Mostly because of IE users.

Owned.

Stupid IE users and their sucky browers.

well a family member of mine is guna pay me to make a website for their concrete company and i told them that i would try to learn how to do it so i can make it for them

so you guys all agree that divs are better to use on a site? (i dont rlly know what that is yet tho)

If your going to do that, I'd test the website with different browsers and use a .css file like Kellimus said. I believe there is a way to display different code for different web browsers -- it should be at w3schools.

Which I why I mentioned tables

Weither they agree or not, I think its good practice before you start on real stuff

wow they are pretty fail if they are paying you for something you don't have the slightest clue on how to do. Reminds me of kids that say they want to make video games, but find programming stupid/hard/boring.

I got this program called Crimsion Editor a friend recommend to me. I think he said u can display a preview of it to see waht you coded


well im pretty good with computers, and a pretty fast learner, so i told them i'd do it for them and that way i can also learn how to do this kinda stuff, and maybe later ill get into things like C++ and such

BTW, is this going to be a static page? If not, you're going to need to learn javascript and php.

i havent really gotton the details

i dont think it'll be like an interactive site or anything

i might include some kinda of job estimator, but idk

it'll pretty much be like, what the company is, who owns it, who to call, information, their experience; stuff like that

Haha, Notepad ftw! If you want preview you can use CoffeeCup, it's free, but you might as well just test it where you're going to actually see it, in the browser.

If it's a read-only site, it shouldn't be very simple, all you need is to learn HTML, CSS, and you might need to learn a bit of javascript, but that's it.

IE 8 (in my opinion), while still a BETA, is better than FireFox. However, FireFox has more room for plug-ins, so I'm not sure which is really better.

Firefox is less buggy, and by the time IE8 is no longer a beta, Fx will have updated to its level anyway.

SeN...

A) Contains tabular data
B) Was not laid out by web designers, but web programmers.


They're generic block elements. Spans are generic inline elements.

And no, no it isn't.


It's more just, is it IE, or not, because 99% of everything works between Safari, Camino, Chrome, Opera, Konquerer, and Fx.

>>Don't use WYSIWYG editors. Notepad, Notepad++ are all you need.
