HTML Experts: Is there is a special or secret way to use HTML while designing a webpage?

admin — Sun, 14 Feb 2010 19:19:51 +0000

For instance, if you just use "regular" HTML, will people still be able to see and use my website normally, even if they are not using Internet Explorer? For example, I always use Firefox. Other people use things like AOL or Opera to browse the web. Thanks for your help!

There’s no such thing as a silly question. Don’t worry; HTML will work across all browsers. However, bear in mind that html does have different ‘dialects’ depending on whether you’re using strict, transitional, or frameset (this goes in the doc type declaration or DTD at the top of a html page) plus older browsers such as IE6 can be quirky and not show websites exactly as they should. Just use strict and xhtml (which is a cleaner, stricter version of HTML) and you should be okay in most modern browsers. Visit http://www.freewebtutorial.co.uk (web standards section) for more info.
Hope this helps.

how is XHTML easier than HTML when getting info to a handheld device?

admin — Mon, 25 Jan 2010 19:29:19 +0000

does that mean XHTML better/faster for internet browsing on a traditional computer?

In theory, the rules are simpler and violating lots of them results in an error message rather than spending processor power to recover. In practise, mobile devices now have fast enough processors that this doesn’t matter.

The theory also applies to desktops, but suffers from a few problems. The main one is that Internet Explorer doesn’t support XHTML (note that a document which conforms to the xhtml specification but is served as text/html is treated as HTML, so doesn’t count), and Firefox doesn’t do incremental rendering (so it doesn’t show anything to the user until the entire document is downloaded, making it take longer before the user can start reading).

Why does my home page no longer appear. It is there to edit and listed as index.html but blank when viewed.?

admin — Wed, 20 Jan 2010 05:57:33 +0000

I worked extensively on my site adding pages but now I no longer have my home page available. I am not over my limits, it does come up in page builder to edit but it will not load when accessed using view or directly. It is named correctly, index.html.

Hello

Fixing your system could be very simple, starting with an easy maintenance checklist:

___1. On Internet Explorer (IE) menu click ‘Tools’, click ‘Internet Options’, click ‘General’ tab, at ‘Browsing history’ click ‘delete’ temporary files, click ‘OK’ to exit. Repeat periodically. With email or internet usage weekly or monthly temporary file deletion is recommended.

___2. Increase the browser disk space allotment. On the menu again click ‘Tools’, click ‘Internet Options’, click ‘General’ tab, scroll to browsing history, set ‘Disk space usage’ at 250MB or 500MB, click ‘OK’ to finish.

___3. If you’re using XP some systems did not ship with Java. Download and install the latest version at http://www.java.com/

___4. Many Yahoo! advertisements are Flash Player oriented and you may need to install the newest version http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer

Best wishes,

What is the html code for text over images?

admin — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 01:46:22 +0000

What is the html code for text to appear when someone moves the mouse over a picture?

People never know what they are talking about. The alt="" attribute is NOT the attribute that shows the tooltip popup on a mouseover of an image. Although Internet Explorer does show the tooltip on a mouseover using the alt="" atribute, it is doing it WRONG!

The proper attribute to use in jus about any tag is the title="" attribute. Add this one with the short text description you want along with the alt="" attribute to stay within proper coding standards.

XHtml/Html: How does the browser decide on size for tags

Xhtml/Html, how does the browser decide on size for tags

through to

I had a look in tools -> internet options -> general -> fonts but couldnt see anything.

Even though this can be changed in CSS im curious to where Internet explorer and firefox gets the sizes defaults from.

Thanks

These are just hard coded into the software and come from way back in the first days of markup, even before the internet really when word processors couldn’t display anything over the bog standard text, so needed something to differentiate headings from body text. h1 – h3 are larger than p and 4 – 6 go from the same to smaller.

So it’s really an arbitrary choice – which DOES change from browser to browser.

How to make HTML file open in new window?

admin — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 16:13:06 +0000

When I edit html files from my computer, they keep opening in the same browser that I have opened. How do I fix it so that html files will open in their own windows?
I’m not looking to make a new window appear with HTML. I’m trying to edit html files and would prefer them to open in a fresh window instead of ‘hijacking’ my current opened browser.

Since you didn’t specify, I’m going to assume you’re using Internet Explorer in some version of Windows, which is likely considering anybody using any other browser on any other operating system would feel special enough to mention it.

In IE:
-Go to TOOLS in the menu. If you do not have the menu bar visible or if you don’t have text-labels showing, it’s the gear icon.
-In the TOOLS drop-down, go to "Properties".
-In the Properties dialog box, access the ‘Advanced’ tab.
-Within the Advanced tab there is a section called "Browsing" in the scroll-window.
-Find the option there-in that says "Reuse windows for launching shortcuts" If you’re using IE7 it will also say "(when tabbed browsing is off)".
-Make sure this item is unticked and OK out.
-Your issue should now be resolved.
