I am a beginner at html. Does any one have a good site for a beginner to learn this from? I have XP home edition, and will be useing yahoo…IM getting frustrated!!!
Well, what do you want to do with HTML? Just basics?
If just the basics, you might check out the Internet Public Library. Go to KidSpace, then the Learn HTML link. It’s got basics that will get you started.
If something more complicated, well…I don’t know.
For a bit more advanced HTML: Sizzling HTML Jalfrezi. Tutorials and a complete tag reference.
I want to make a marquee and insert images in my signiture and e mail text.
Marquee:
<marquee “direction=left|right|up|down” “behavior=alternate” “width=width_in_pixels”>text to marquee</marquee>
You can leave out direction=, width= and behavior= if the default is what you need.0
Images:
<img “src=http://www.imageurlhere.com/image.gif” “border=border_width” “alt=tooltip_text”>
Border= and alt= can be left out.
thank you for the info.Ill give a try and practice some more:)
Here’s a decent HTML cite:
You mean site.
Well typically I would say website, but on SDMB it seems that cite is the name they prefer when referring to websites.
Ah ha, I have seen the light. The word cite is used for a website if someone is citing that website as an authority on the subject being discussed, or to validate the posters argument. OK, I get it now, there are cites and there are sites. I will make a note of it.
It’s awesome. Go to the “Authoring” section and take the tutorials.
I don’t want to hijack the thread or anything, but I’ve been having trouble with HTML too. Specifically, how can I make a quotation mark go the other way? In other words, when I’m quoting something on my website, the first set looks fine, but the ones that end the quote go the same direction, thus making them backwards.
Use &ldquo; for “ and &rdquo; for ”.
Thanks! Worked like a charm.
