There seems to be quite a few experienced web designers/developers knocking about in this forum. So i thought it might be useful (for us all!) to help each other out with HTML, XHTML, XML, CSS, Javascript, PHP, ASP and so on.. queries.

What do ya reckon?

The newbies could ask for quick code snippets and guidence, and the more experienced users could discuss various methods etc.

Just a thought...!

OR - everybody could just go to www.w3schools.com

Though - this could be quite good if people just want a quick bit of code.

So um, yes - I do believe this to be a good idea

Bodidily · Feb 26, 2003

problem with w3schools and other sites is that people often don't know what their problem is! and so dont know how to go about solving it!

S Walch · Feb 26, 2003

That's a good point.

Indeed swelch.
- Tutorials are not always the answer.
- Talking to Doreen is never the answer.
- Talking to other programmers/scripters/web developers is usually a good idea!

LMAO!

I found my answers fine in the w3schools tutorial - but granted, sometimes it wont always give the answer (though it should! for it's the w3c!).

actually S_Walch.... you asked me a lot of questions cos you thought W3C was wrong!!! but actually you had misunderstood, and therefore invalidated your documents by removing the <body> and <head> tags!!!!

actually S_Walch.... you asked me a lot of questions cos you thought W3C was wrong!!! but actually you had misunderstood, and therefore invalidated your documents by removing the <body> and <head> tags!!!!

That was due to the fact that the link they gave for you to put in your HTML document was this:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"
href="mystyle2.css" />

But they failed to mention that that is actual, as you already know, the XHTML way to link it, but the HTML version, as you already know is this:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"
href="mystyle2.css" >

So, it did actually tell me that the Head and Body tags were wrong!
So I removed them and the validator said it was validated HTML

Edit: oh and Oldo - if you call me Swelch again - I will be forced to slap you later on in the week

lol - I have a question

why, when i have this instructed :
<table width="100%" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0" border="2" bordercolor= "black" >,
do I only see the black border color in IE but I can't in Opera?

Edit: Never mind. Problem found - problem fixed

Bodidily · Feb 26, 2003

Erm... try using valid HTML!!

bordercolor="black" is proprietry IE code. Not supported by any other browser!

how do you know where you put a prompt in javascript?
do ya put it between the head tags, or in the body tags?

also, how would you do it if you needed three prompts.

for instance, when you open up the page, a prompt is supposed to ask you a certain question.
if you type yes, another prompt is supposed to pop up, followed by another one.

(a no would end the program)

...would you put all three prompts in the same place?

...i'm about the rip my hair out

Bodidily · Feb 27, 2003

depends how you call them.

personally, i would create an iterative function in the <head> of the document which opens the prompts and validates the answer given. You could then call this function with an even handler in the <body> (eg - clicking on a link starts the prompts opening, or just loading the page).

Something like..... (this is not javascript! just psuedo code!)

Code:

function prompts
 (
   while count != 5 do
      open prompt
      store answer in variable
      compare answer with a constant value (yes or no)
         if answer = no then
              break
         else
             count++
         endif
      endwhile
 )

Yes yes, I know that now

That's why it's stated in the CSS file now.
