Can someone give me some basic formating tips for HTML. I mean linebreaks,italics,bold, that sort of stuff. thanx

― anthony, Friday, 8 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Basic tags:

Paragraph break: <P>
Line break: <BR>
Bold text: <B>text</B>
Italics text: <I>text</I>
Website link (aka anchor tag): <A href="http://websiteURL">text that should be clicked on</A>
Email link: <A href="mailto:emailaddress">text that should be clicked on</A>

More detailed info can be found here.

I wonder if I can cheat and post in pretty COLOURS?

Hmmmm... how well have I remembered basic HTML, or will I look like a raving fool?

― masonic boom, Friday, 8 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

It's not that hard, even I mastered the (very) basics in a week. Believe me, that's something, computer coding (in all its forms) is something I'm not compatible with.

― DG, Friday, 8 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

for people that don't know any of that stuff , try this - when you see stuff that makes you go , Oh how do you do that?, you click on VIEW & then down to SOURCE. then you can see the java or html stuff laid out there & you don't even have to understand how it works, if you wanna steal stuff just cut/paste/replace text.
i only found that out recently , i hope it's useful to the few people who know even less than i do.

Bye.

Simple example of an HTML document.

A simple example.

This is a simple HTML document. This is the first paragraph.

This is the second paragraph. This is a word in italics. This is a word in bold. Here is an inlined GIF image: myimage.gif.

This is the third paragraph. Here is a hypertext link from the word foo to a document called "subdir/myfile.html".

A second-level header.

Here is a section of text that should show up in a fixed-width font (as if it were a computer listing or a verse of poetry): 

        The cat in the hat
        fell to the ground and went splat.
This is a bulleted list with two items:

  • First item goes here.
  • Second item goes here.
This is the end of my example document.

― Menelaus Darcy, Wednesday, 31 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

you can't see it, because it's referring to a local file on Jeff's computer. it needs to be uploaded to a website, and referred to with an 'http://...' style URL.

― m jemmeson, Wednesday, 31 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Thanks. Kodanshi has just pointed this out to me in the ILM thread where I tried to use the image to pose a question. All I can say is this page is a bit misleading.

It was a music stave BTW, quite pretty on my screen.

― Jeff, Wednesday, 31 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Note that the img tag is an HTML extension that is currently only understood by NCSA Mosaic and not by most other World Wide Web browsers

wow

― Ronan, Sunday, 6 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

three questions for those in the know:
1: does "font size" work like"point size" ie is size 4 smaller than size 10? is there a default size (presumably yes, in which, what is it?)
2: explain "cellspace"
3: explain "cellpadding"

(extra points for lucid brevity and fine penmanship)

― mark s, Sunday, 6 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

cell space and cell padding are to do with tables...cell padding affects how indented the table will be...er...I guess I can do tables when I have Dreamweaver or other web editor open. 0.1 of a point?

don't think you can link directly to yahoo images, nick. it says that in the how to be a hippy guide to what's going on (uk collectors edition), i thought...

― gareth, Monday, 21 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Weird - that's what I was testing. I knew geocities/web page ones taken over by Yahoo couldn't but I wasn't sure if that applied to photo album ones too. You're right that the one above doesn't work when I delete my cookies. BUT, the one of the Cameroon footballer does, even though its now in a folder that had exactly the same 'share with everyone' status. HANG ON A MINUTE! Now that one doesn't work either, despite the fact that Chris said it now was (following my changing the album setting from 'private' to 'share with everyone'). And it was working for me a minute ago, and post cookie-deletion. IT'S MESSING WITH MY MIND!

― N., Monday, 21 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Who can explain Chris's and my experiences. And is that last sentence grammatical, and if not how do I make it so? Surely I don't have to say "The experiences of Chris and me?"

― N., Monday, 21 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

There's a web cache on your network?

― RickyT, Monday, 21 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Chris and I Nick, and I

― Ronan, Monday, 21 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

sounds like a local cache. no one else has rights to that image, but you still have it on your hd, so it isn't fetched afresh from site.

― Alan Trewartha, Monday, 21 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Ah, OK. But how does that explain what happened to Chris where it let him view it as an embedded image if he'd pasted in the address previously?

Ronan, "the experiences of I"? Surely not?

― N., Monday, 21 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

it's grammatical

― mark s, Monday, 21 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

this isn’t business, this time it’s grammatical

― gareth, Monday, 21 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I trust mark s. But it does sound weird, yes?

― N., Monday, 21 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

The address has a question mark in it, suggesting that yahoo does a server-side query for it. Perhaps they don't work as links because of this (I don't know why), but once you've pasted them into the browser they're cached locally and then work afterwards?

― Sam, Monday, 21 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Surely this is all part of the conspiracy against N.

― jel, Tuesday, 22 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I REALLY want little anchor tags for each post. So the first post gets <a name="1"> the second post gets <a name="2"> etc. so that it's possible to link to specific posts instead of just the whole thread. The way it is now it's like a hyooge collection of 70 minute mix CDs with only one track on each one. Also, it would allow jel to actually link to the top :)

Top of new answers, phew, please help! I've tried putting the link I want to be a different colour as H2 {color: silver) but it doesn't change anything - is this because it is a link and that overrides?!

You wanna define a different class for yr mail to link. Something like:

and then use it in yr link like this:

Oh, I thought you could only DO it with style sheets! I thought I was being rather complicated... ah well! Hopefully I'll have a vaguely neu atommick brane latXoR. Does anyone also know how to make visited links struck through? Can you just do that w/ stylesheets as well..?

― Sarah, Thursday, 28 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Yup. Try:

a:visited {text-decoration: line-through}

I'd just stick with colour changes though. Does it really matter if links have already been clicked on?

― RickyT, Thursday, 28 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I've changed the colour AND the strikethrough. Go and have a look! The AB has been haxx0red but... in a very CRAP WAY. In other words some DIFFERENT COLOURS and boring stuff. God I'm dull.

― Sarah, Thursday, 28 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I like the strikethrough idea ("been there, done that") - ha ha I must NEVER visit Freaky Trigger ever again!

― Jeff W, Thursday, 28 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

ahh ok, stylesheets, i thought it was just for ILx, and stylesheets seemed a bit extravagant. if you're using stylesheets, save them as a separate CSS file (rather than as STYLE tags in the page), and include it's URL in the HEAD object, then you can change the look of the whole site at once, without having to change each page individually.

― michael, Thursday, 28 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

sam - only glanced at the source, but is probably not working because of line breaks - Javascript treats end of line characters as the end of the statement, whether or not it has reached the semi-colon. it would probably work with more careful cutting and pasting

Is this v. difficult? What do I need to know about forms? What are CGI scripts and are they scary? Can anyone point me in the correct direction?

Can someone give me advice on this quandary. Preferably I mean send ma script: I am designing a form which will allow users to input info and then click a submit button which will then hopefully send off the information inputted to me via e-mail. Now, I need a CGI Script to do this sending bit I think. So where can I get a ready made CGI E- Mail script? Do you have one you wouldn't mind me pilfering? Or are there standard readily adaptable ones on the web?

Alang, please help.

i'll find or write you one if you're still looking. a lot of the sample cgi scripts around have gaping security holes.

you can always use: <FORM METHOD="post" ACTION="mailto:email@address.here">

which most browsers support instead of a CGI script

I think he's got it.

― Graham (graham), Monday, 21 October 2002 15:36 (twenty-three years ago)

um, too must nesting star, you don't need half of those tables.

if you have a table containing only one tr containing only one td then it doesn't need to be a table.

if you have a table containing lots of trs each containing just one td then scrap that too and just separate the rows using p tags.

Thanks Andy - as this happened last night at night I just started again from scratch - when I have some time to sit and concentrate on it I might try and figure out how to better THE EVIL COMPUTER LANGWIDGE but as for now I will just be a bit crap. Chiz.

Let's say you want to post a photo, but you are unsure how large it will end up on the screen. What can you do to minimize the size?

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Wednesday, 12 February 2003 17:32 (twenty-three years ago)

<img height=#ofpixels width=#ofpixels src="http://shania.com/lovemeformymusic.jpg">

where #ofpixels = the dimensions of the image you'd like to resize. maintain a constant ratio in order to reduce distortion.

― gygax!, Wednesday, 12 February 2003 17:53 (twenty-three years ago)

you can hand code the img tag and supply width=n and height=m attributes along with the src thing. make sure the width and height values are in the same ratio as the original image or it'll look stretched.

but this is bad practice - it means the entire image has to be downloaded (lots of data possibly) before the broswer resizes it (and browser image resizing isn't always that good, qualitywise). resizing it yourself and linking to new image is better.

(curse you gygax! 8)

sarah,

the pixels are 600 x 450 so you can resize it to 400 x 300 or 200 x 150:



<img height=400 width=300 src=http://feistycat.subtlehints.net/furball/lucycat4_big.jpg>


<img height=200 width=150 src=http://feistycat.subtlehints.net/furball/lucycat4_big.jpg>

much better... 450x600 is the pixel dimension of the source image.

if you post a pic and change only 1 dimension, will it scale the other one accordingly or stretch/compress it?

I don't think I have got the hang of this.

I have been thinking about this text as the place where Tom Ewing made the baffling assertion, on which I have often commented, that everyone agreed that B&S were ('ferociously'?) inconsistent.

I don't think my computer has got the hang of it either.

dear other front-end developer I work with:

for the love of god think when you start to code some shit. if it looks like a big old chunk of content might be something they want to dynamically display or hide, then keep it all in one table or something, do not break the "order" button from an item away from the item and mix it up in a table with a totally different item. This is dumb and shows no ability to think through problems. Also it makes me want to kick you.

How come upthread James was able to produce a table with a pink (actually mauve now I look again), background and it doesn't want to work now? I just copied the source and added a pic.

How do you do the moving one?

A guy in my work does it in his emails sometimes (Outlook) - I want to be able to as well but I don't know 1. How to make it move, and 2. How to apply it to Outlook.

only if you specify an anchor named docs. so:

(open tag)a name=docs(close tag)

will make that link work
