Just remember that this will be tiny on some screens, and huge on others.

Set the height of the cells, rather than the table.

My students are permitted to search DaniWeb for answers concerning web design. The classroom erupted this week, because there is a stupid ad from SitePal that makes the computers talk. Must ad companies become more and more annoying??? They are NOT going to sell their product by making people mad. …

Do NOT make images expand when the mouse moves. Nothing makes me hit the BACK button faster than a page that changes when you move your mouse. It's annoying. The user should click to get as larger image.

He would have to negotiate a change with the hosting company.

The problem is that you are trying to do what is impossible, for all practical purposes. The Internet is NOT designed to make something fit the browser window. It is a waste of time trying to do so. 100% height refers to the container, but browsers do not agree on …

The missing material might be literally UNDER the table, with the table covering it up. Div tags and table tags don't mix well. The div often renders the wrong size when div and a table are nested. This is especially true if the table can change size dynamically. Note that …

That makes the entire thread useless.

You have typos in your style (the : must touch the style). It is impossible to center stuff vertically on the browser window in a way that works on all computers. Never think of a web page as a sheet of paper. It is a scroll of paper as long …

This sounds like copyright infringement, if done without permission.

The png format is not well supported at this time. It is too new for good compatibility. Other things you might check: - Check for a typogoofical error. - Validate your code with W3C. Bad code throws browsers into quirks mode. - Is the cache too small for the file? …

A footer is not intended as a part of the Internet. It is a waste of time trying to make one. Just put it at the bottom of your content. Trying to make a page exactly fill the window is also a waste of time. Your client wants the impossible, …

Uploading pictures is one of the last things you learn about php and mysql. You are putting the cart before the horse. Learn the basics first, and then the advanced stuff will make more sense. And easy on the zxnrbl in the title.

There is no way to put it at the bottom of the screen that works with all browsers.

You can't put something at the bottom of the browser window and have it work on all computers. There is no reliable way to address the bottom of the browser window, for the following reasons: 1. The Internet is not intended to work that way. A page always starts at …

You can't. Attempts to hide the link from the user also hide it from the browser. The user can read the source code for any web page with View / Source. Why do you want to hide the link? Sounds selfish to me. The entire purpose of the Internet is …

You should have uninstalled the apps before you changed the configuration, and then reinstalled them into the new configuration. What was drive e? Was it your old hard disk, temporarily installed to move files? Can you put it back the way it was, uninstall the apps, and then set things …

Those are interpreters, not compilers.

It now says the site is under construction, in a single line at the top.

This is the wrong way to get search engines to find you. It's not just the domain name. The search engine also looks for the title and the content. If the phrase appears in the website text, it will be indexed. The meta tags are NOT used, because they have …

There is no pseudo class named td:white.

0px is an invalid style. It should be just 0, with no unit of measure, for a 0 value.

You can also save the html file, and open it with Notepad.

It is better to fix the deficiencies in your code, rather than trying to make separate CSS sheets for different browsers: 1. Validate your html/xhtml with the W3C validator. Repair all code that does not validate. Bad code throws each browser into its quirks mode. Quirks mode causes widely varying …

Divs do NOT always expand to fill their containers. This is a known bug in the definition of div. They seem to work correctly if nothing but text is present, but if you put a div inside something else (especially a table cell), or if you put something else (such …

In simpler words, you can use Notepad to create the css file, and save it with a .css extension on the filename.

This is a known bug. Divs don't behave properly inside table cells.

Remember that the browser looks at the fonts installed on the USER'S computer, not your host. The user would have to voluntarily install your font for the browser to be able to use it. Your best option, if you must use a nonstandard font, is to use MSPaint to stick …

My ISP places a limit on the size of an upload. Could yours be doing that?

How about writing on how designers have to waste time rewriting web pages that used to work, because the software makers and the W3C keep changing the standards. It's just like the forced change to DTV that everyone hates. The clowns in charge can't leave the standards alone.

Because the script is placed before the form in the html, the rendering parser has not yet read the form tag, so it does not yet know what the id "eb" is when the script runs. Place scripts after the objects they modify, if they must be in the body.

You are NOT going to make any image exactly fill a browser window. There are several reasons why: 1. Different computers have different screen resolutions. 2. Different users have differing numbers of toolbars on their browsers. 3. The browser window might not be maximized.

They are talking about deprecating the name attribute in anchor tags.

Stop using pixels!!!! Pixels for sizes make pages incompatible with different screen resolutions. Define all sizes with ems (for text) or percent (for screen layout).

Browsers do not display tag pairs with nothing between the tags unless they are needed to render something else. Put something between the tags. The usual filler for an empty pair of tags is either [icode]<br />[/icode] or [icode]&nbsp;[/icode] .

For those who didn't see it, she has an unescaped < in the first script.

I do so hate sites that do that. Inevitably the image that pops up hides the one I wanted, so I can't get to it. Please don't make stuff happen unless I actually click.

With a normal host, you don't have to do anything. Indexing is automatic when the following are present: - The host does not prohibit robots from searching it. - The home page is named according to the home page rule the host uses. - Each page can be reached by …

As long as robots are not prohibited from searching your host, and as long as your homepage is named the name your host requires, the indexing should be automatic. Mine always appear within a day or two without any coaxing from me. I don't have to do anything, except upload …

You can not set the size of something to exactly fit the height of the browser window in a way that works on all browsers. Do not waste your time trying to do this. When width and height conflict in the sizes they need for an object, width has priority …

Word wrap needs a whitespace character to have a place to wrap.

[QUOTE=cguan_77;869165] what's the ideal width for a page? [/QUOTE] The ideal width of a page is 100% of the browser window. Never use pixels or other absolute measures to set widths. Set the widths of items on the page as percentages of the page width.

IE and Firefox display things slightly different: - IE makes characters in some fonts one pixel wider than Firefox does. - Firefox counts the surrounding styles (margin, border, padding) as being OUTSIDE the declared width or height of some box objects. IE stuffs those surrounding styles INSIDE the declared width …

You probably bumped your mouse wheel. It normally sets the size.

That is ancient code. Add a style to the stylesheet instead: [code] table {background-color: #ff0000;} [/code]

I discovered that some of them change when certain software downloads occur. The program that downloaded "took" the files and put its own icon on them.

I see why it didn't work. The filenames had untypable characters in them.

The best template system is none.

The file has to be on the server. Nothing else can find a file that is saved on your own computer.

There are a couple of problems here: - You have the width declared twice, once in the style and once in the tag. In at least one case, they are different. - What doctype are you using? The width and height parameters are deprecated in xhtml. - Why are you …
