hay all i have a few questions about html when im trying to add some text in the middle of my page i cant its because ive got a table that runs allthe way down the side of my page so with it i cant put any text beside it or can i?

the other thing is how can i have a google search bar in my site

and a "flash box" that runs off of the urls that you can copy from youtube

so i set the usl in the html code and it will play it in the middle of my page remember about the table tho!

and one last thing can you use spacing with just the space bar because when you use the <div align"right"> it may go a bit to far to the right so can you sort that one out

[edit]and one other thing can i have email addy ad in name@mydomane.com

well thats all i can think of right now :p or is it hmmm well ill keep ya all updated if i need some help:D if you don't mind:rolleyes:

Hey n00b1,


sorry bout the English im not so good at it (even no im welsh??)

No worries. I think I can help with some of your questions.;)


can i have a google search bar in my site

I just ran a search for, "google search on my site" and it came up with this:
http://www.google.com/searchcode.html

I'm viewing it in portugues but I'm guessing that's because I'm in Brazil. Let me know if it comes up in English (or Welsh) for you.

Either way, here's the code that you'll need:


<FORM method=GET action="http://www.google.com/search">
<TABLE bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><tr><td>
<A HREF="http://www.google.com/">
<IMG SRC="http://www.google.com/logos/Logo_40wht.gif" <br>border="0" ALT="Google" align="absmiddle"></A>
<INPUT TYPE=text name=q size=31 maxlength=255 value="">
<INPUT TYPE=hidden name=hl value="en">
<INPUT type=submit name=btnG VALUE="Google Search">
</td></tr></TABLE>
</FORM>


when im trying to add some text in the middle of my page i cant its because ive got a table that runs all the way down the side of my page so with it i cant put any text beside it or can i?
There are lots of way that you can lay text out on you page. If you are going to use tables it might get complicated. One tip is that it's possible to put tables inside tables. i.e. you could put the table running down the side of the page inside one of the cells of a bigger table.

Personally I don't recommend that you design your pages with tables. There are other ways! :p Here is a link to a site that has some good beginners tutorials:
htmldog.com/guides/ (http://htmldog.com/guides/)

I hope this helps.
:cool:

One last thing, what software are you using to write your HTML?

Instead of using just a plain and simple text editor. I would suggest using Syn Text Editor (http://syn.sourceforge.net/) it will highlight code for you depending on what language/format you choose (HTML, CSS, PHP, C++, etc...) It even has a "template" like thing that it will throw together for you with just the basic/essential tags in it (ie.


<!-- Created: mm/dd/yy [TIME] by [NAME] -->
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional/EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled</title>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">
<meta name="generator" content="syn">
</head>
<body>

</body>
</html>

That is what will pop-up for an HTML doc.

It even has a "template" like thing With an outdated DOCTYPE, and a bad encoding specified by a meta tag? Not my idea of a brilliant editor.

Most good text editors (vim (http://www.vim.org/), Kate (kate.kde.org)) will do syntax highlighting for you.

It's nice to something to laugh at in the morning. Thanks professor.

I'm using Windows which seems to rule Kate out for the time being. Regarding Vim I'm looking here in the PC directory (http://www.vim.org/download.php#pc) but have no idea which version may be suitable for Windows XP Professional. How might a professor make such a decision?

Cream (http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/cream/cream-0-38-gvim-7-0-152.exe) has a "one-click" installer for both vim and Cream, a popular configuration.
