Hello,

I am a newbie and looking for a very simple webpage template that I can put my own content into.

Specifically I am unable to create a consistant header space and a table for the navigation menu. I believe this is a simple html coding that will create a constant table, am I right?

I am going to be using it temporarily until I can figure out the cms that I am learning. (ie Joomla).

Thanks in advance,
GypsyOwl

We need a link to your website.....
try...

<ifame src="menu.html" style="width:Height Of Table; Height:Height Of Table"></iframe>

Add something like that after your <body> tag, in every page before the content.
Menu.html would be something like this, only with a head section, a doctype, and <html> tags...


<body><table><tbody>
<tr><td colspan="# of menu Items"><img src="Your Sites Logo.jpg" /></td>
</tr><tr>
<td><a href="page1.html" target="_pearent">Menu Item1</a></td>
<td><a href="page2.html" target="_pearent">Menu Item2</a></td>
<td><a href="page3.html" target="_pearent">Menu Item3</a></td>
<td><a href="page4.html" target="_pearent">Menu Item4</a></td>
</tr><tbody></table></body>

Well, there's not much point in an uncustomisable template.

Thank You,
I will try that code and google again as well.

I did find a template to download and found that I couldn't save it after working on it for a long time. Then I noticed that there was some advertising in the code and when I removed it during editing the code header... the thing locked me out all together. good thing I kept my content elsewhere while working on that.

Back to school for me. Sorry for such a long wait for my reply, I forgot where I posted this and just found it today on a google search. LOL
:D :o

Oh and you asked for my web addy http://www.gypsyowl.org is one (that is where I am working now to update the pages. I also have been working on the menu - it is a bit embarrassing right now so please don't laugh when you see it)

I must say that the site doesn't look good, and you should change the sizes op the menu-item-boxes.

If you want a simple site, you can get one of me here:


<html>
<head>
<title>Your title</title>
</head>
<body>

<!-- This will the top on your site -->
<table width="100%" height="100">
<tr>
<td>
<img src="yourlogo.jpg" alt="description">
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<!-- End of the top table -->

<!-- The menu -->
<table width="200" align="left">
<tr>
<td>
<a href="index.htm">Home</a> <br>
<a href="about.htm">About</a> <br>
<a href="contact.htm">Contact</a>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<!-- End menu -->

<!-- The content -->
<table width="500" align="left">
<tr>
<td>
Just some content. Just some content. Just some content. Just some content. Just some content. Just some content. Just some content. Just some content. Just some content. Just some content. Just some content. Just some content. Just some content. Just some content. Just some content. Just some content. Just some content. Just some content. Just some content. Just some content.

</td>

</table>
<!-- End content -->

</body>
</html>


You noticed I used small letters? That's because the next generation of HTML, XHTML, have to be written in small letters. Just so you know.

Hope you like it, and if you do, please just tell me :)


Edit: I think this is right, I don't use tables anymore, so I'm not 100% sure of it. But just try it, and if it doesn't work properly, please contact me, alright?

If you're really concerned about what the next generation or "future" is, then you should really look into not using tables for positioning.

At the moment, XHTML is mostly just a reformulation of HTML in terms of XML. It's possible (but not certain; WHATWG are working on an alternative specification) that it will become the standard on the Web at some point.

Still, writing in lower-case doesn't hurt.

It looks right. Thank You. That is exaxtly what I needed to get the page to set right just until I get the real work out of the way and put the validated pages in.

Thanks again,

You are right~ Thank you. The menu is a CoffeCup DHTML menu that needs some size adjustments. Thanks for the feedback. I really appreciate it. GypsyOwl

Thank you

I found Joomla in the source code http://www.joomla.org
it would say html ---
however others I have seen begin the page with an xml version....followed by the html doc type information.

Could be, joomla with some plug in or module that changes the first line of the page. Not sure what template was used
with the joomla program.

Yes Twey (thank you for the correction)
