Beginner question about alignment

[Cadence]

Hey there, new member here.. I am in the process of making my first webpage. I have already made the template along with slicing..

My question.. How do I align my nav/menu/header/foot/body in html to where their viewable as the way they were when I made it?


I am ready confused ..

Thanks..

if this is your first webpage, then I would suggest doing some reading up on "CSS" and "HTML" before you go any farther.

You can find many beginner resources at:

http://www.w3.org

http://w3schools.com/

Thanks for the tutorials.. I learned a lot..

From what I see, divs are cleaner and easier than tables?

Also for my website now, it doesn't have a gallery.. Later on though I plan to implement one, would I have to do a div for each picture? Or can I use divs and tables in the same html.


Thanks again.

Of course you can use both divs and tables, but tables aren't really necessary, plus you can style your images just like any div (margin, display:inline/block, etc)

Yes, if you plan to use "thumbnails" in the gallery... Then the easiest and most structured way of displaying them would be through an "unordered list" <ul>

Forgot I can use divs in a long vertical row..


Is there a list of code definitions out there to better understand (margin, display:inline/block, etc).. I just have the basics at the moment and already did a google search, but nothing turned up.


Sorry for all the question.

Appreciate all the help.

w3schools.com has lists like that with their css tutorials.

[TheJoshMan]

yep, there most certainly is. Don't be ashamed to ask questions, that's the only way we learn. You can find a very reliable list of definitions and examples below:

In this instance, tables would be better suited
