html help

[nymph4]

I am making a Table with three Cells on the left hand side going from top to bottum. And right next to all of the three cells I have a big Cell that has an Animation in it.

And it looks greate I wanted to know how can I ad three other Cells to the Right of the Animation??

I know how to keep ading more Cells to the Left of the Animation going from top to bottum.

Here is my web site

Well, I am not much help.
I gave up doing actual HTML years ago.
Yes, I know how to do it.
I also know how to bake bread with just the raw materials.
But I buy bread at the store.

If I have a layout that requires a table matrix, I  crate a huge table with lots of cells and then cut out areas I want to fill with graphics or Text.

I use one of the editors that do this for this. Here is a skeleton of a matrix I just did in less that about 30 seconds of just goofing around. When I get done I will make the borders all invisible.

This was done with sea monkey, which is free.

Go ahead and look at the HTML source. I never do.
Yeah, I know, waste of code, to big, loads slow. Nowadays few pages are hand coded. If need be, some use optimizers to size down.

css would be a better choice then tables save load time and cut down on file size

There is a web design board......

What you need is a WYSIWYG editor. Try Nvu.

[nymph4]

Well right now if you look at my Table you will see 6. Cells one on top of another and right next to it on the Right Side you will see one Big Cell that is the Hight of all the Cells.

And it has an Animation in it.

What I would like to do and I should have told it like this before.

I would like to put 3. Cells on one on top of another and then to the Right of it have my Big Cell and the to the Right of it have 3 more Cells one on top of another.

Since I know how to ad Cells o the Left side of my Big Cell why can't I then ad More Cells to the athor side???

What you need is a WYSIWYG editor.

If yo can see it , you just do it. Then, if you want, you can look at the resulting code. Some table layouts can be so complicated only a matrix will work. Dreamweaver 3 would let you place objects anywhere you like on a page. The you would tell it to convert to table. It wold create an optimized table that would meet your needs. And thee are other editors that let you would with graphic injects rather that raw HTML. Later, you can tweak the HTML, if need be.

from the sounds of it:

Code: [Select]

<TABLE><TR><TD>
<TABLE><TR>
<TD>Cell 1: Left.</TD></TR>
<TR><TD>Cell 2: Left.</TD></TR>
<TR><TD>Cell 3: Left.</TD></TR>
</TR></TABLE></TD><TD>
<TABLE><TR><TD>
middle cell.
</TD></TR></TABLE></TD><TD>
<TABLE><TR>
<TR><TD>Cell 1: Right.</TD></TR>
<TR><TD>Cell 2: Right.</TD></TR>
<TR><TD>Cell 3: Right.</TD></TR>
</TABLE></TD></TR></TABLE>

Not sure when we started talking about WYSIWYG editors. Not sure why you'd need one. It's not hard to conceptualize the Table, at least when your first creating it.

if you make descriptive location comments, <!-- --> it shouldn't be too hard to maintain either.


of course CSS positioning can be used as well- but come on people- this is Nymph4, let's keep it simple.

[nymph4]

I am so so sorry I just fixed all the code on all my Web Pages it now looks ok to look at.
robertsartgallery.com

Now you will see a Row of 6. Cells one on top of the other and a Big Cell to the Right with Kissing Lips Animation.

I would like to know ho to just put 3 Cells on one side of the Big Cell and 3 Cells on the other side.

I know I can use Dreamwever but I did this by hand so I know you can do it.

If you can make Cells ad on top of another and keep a Big Cell to one side then I know you can do diferant things.

Here is my code

<TABLE width="445" BORDER="5" cellspacing="5">

How come so many lately are using [/url] to close the <a> tag?

Code: [Select]

</a> is the closing tag for <a>, not [/url].

I would like to know ho to just put 3 Cells on one side of the Big Cell and 3 Cells on the other side.

That has been answered.

[dr_iton]

I don't know if I understood that, but i think he was asking about this:



Than do so:
<table border="1" width="956">
    <tr>
        <td width="311">&nbsp;</td>
        <td width="311" rowspan="3">&nbsp;</td>
        <td width="311">&nbsp;</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td width="311">&nbsp;</td>
        <td width="311">&nbsp;</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td width="311">&nbsp;</td>
        <td width="311">&nbsp;</td>
    </tr>
</table>

Cheers.

[/url] is the closing tag for <a>, not [/url].

and so you see- this is why it shows as [/url] instead.

<table border="1" width="956">
    <tr>
        <td width="311">&nbsp;</td>
        <td width="311" rowspan="3">&nbsp;</td>
        <td width="311">&nbsp;</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td width="311">&nbsp;</td>
        <td width="311">&nbsp;</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td width="311">&nbsp;</td>
        <td width="311">&nbsp;</td>
    </tr>
</table>

Cheers.

congratulations, you refactored what I presented by lowercasing the tags and defining set widths.

OMG! I'm getting mixed up myself now!

[BC_Programmer]

well- not really-

closeing A tag:

[/url]


probably will show as [/url] when I post.

seems like it converts them. On the other hand, I suppose this is what code tags are for.

[Geek-9pm]

seems like it converts them. On the other hand, I suppose this is what code tags are for.

The site is written in PHP that runs on the server. What ever you, a client, puts in te text box is later parsed and converted to HTNL for the public.

In fact, it will catch URLs even if I do not use the http:// prefix. it will work even if I us yst a www. before the domain.

If you click on my domain, it will open in a new tab.
That is a feature of this site. I like it.
On other sires I hive to do HTNL, blaaaguh!

What's HTNL ?
