I created a website for my mom a while back and I finally want to make it cleaner and make a universal header and footer so that I only have to change the one document when I update it instead of every page. I spent a while looking around, but I was unable to make anything work. I have a good understanding of HTML and CSS, but I'm pretty much a novice and haven't really used javascript, if thats what this entails, so detailed help would be really appreciated! How do I go about this? (If it matters, the website is hosted on DreamHost).
Here is the basic HTML code I have for the header and footer:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>Title</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="style/style.css">
</head>
<body>
<div id="wrapper">
<header>
<img src="img/logo.png" alt="(logo)">
<nav>
<ul>
<li>HOME</li>
<li>ABOUT</li>
<li>PRODUCTS</li>
</ul>
</nav>
</header>
<footer>
<p> Email: email#gmail.com </p>
<div id="logo">
</div>
</footer>
</body>
</html>
You can use a library like react or a framework like angular 2 or vue js to extend the HTML
You could use PHP to do this. You would simply include header.php for example. It is possible to use any other server-side code.
It is also possible with JavaScript, but keep in mind that JavaScript is executed on the Client side, so that some users could experience issues due to deaktivated javascript inside the browser.

I am using Sublime text to write some HTML and CSS files. I've created my index.html:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<!-- Meta -->
<meta charset="UTF-8" />
<title>RainyDayBakes</title>
<!-- Styles -->
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css">
</head>
<body>
<h1 style="text-align:center">RainyDayBakes</h1>
<nav style="text-align:center">
<a href=”C:\Users\sarah\Documents\Simmons\CS-321\page1.html”> About </a>
<a href=”page2.html”> Menu </a>
<a href=”page3.html”> Gallery </a>
<a href=”page4.html”> Order </a>
<a href=”page5.html”> Contact Us </a>
</nav>
<img src="cake.png" alt="oreo crumble cake" class="center">
<h3>Welcome to RainyDayBakes!</h3>
<p>We are a local bakery specializing in creative cakes, cupcakes and cookies!</p>
<p>In addition to being open daily we also offer custom ordered confections.</p>
<!-- Scripts -->
<script src="scripts/index.js"></script>
</body>
<footer>
</footer>
</html>
my page1.html:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8" />
<title>This is Page One </title>
</head>
<body>
</body>
<footer>
</footer>
</html>
and my style.css:
<style>
h1 {
color:red;
}
</style>
When I try to run index.html in Chrome, the link to page1.html says it doesn't exist, and the CSS won't show up. They're all in the same folder, I've saved all the files, and I'm running on Chrome. Every other solution I've found refers to making a typo, the directories being different, etc. but as said, they're all in the same folder, and I haven't noticed a typo (but it's entirely possible when you're too close to your code).
First off, you're not even using the tag anywhere in your code, so that's why the style isn't showing up. Secondly, if they are in the same folder, just link your about page to page1.html; not the full directory listings.
You are using typographical quotes in your links' href attributes, which won't work. Change those to regular quotes.
Let the link be this way instead href=”page1.html”
You might want to put a link to your CSS file on all your pages, I don't see it on your page1.html You probably already know about this resource but I mention it just in case you don't: W3 Schools is very handy for a quick reference to a lot of HTML/CSS questions.
So you have two issues:
For page1.html, would suggest adding file:// or file:/// to the beginning of the href element, or maybe retyping the line since the other links worked
For your CSS, remove the tag, it's for when you put the style inside the HTML file(embedded)
This isn't an issue with your code. I was having the same exact problem too and i recently discovered that the problem likely lies in the IDE that you're using. I was using stackblitz and recived the same output. But when i switched to an online compiler and litteraly copy & pasted the code with the same file names, the code started working correctly. Try using an online compiler and see how that works out for you. It worked for me.
The compiler I used is:

make sure to switch the languate to HTML using the language dropdown on the top right corner.
I have a navigation bar that I want to have in a seperate html file and then use in all my other pages. I feel like it will make the code look neater and more organized. However, I'm having some trouble. I started by trying to fix the home page and this is what I have:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Home Page</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css">
<link rel="import" href="navigation.html">
</head>
<body>
<br><br>
<div class="zoom pic">
<center> <img src="images/technology.png" alt="portrait"> <center>
</div>
</body>
</html>
This is the navigation bar in a seperate html file, but in the same exact directory as all my other html files.
This is the navigation.html file if it helps anything:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Home Page</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css">
</head>
<center> <b>World Congress CS-IT Conferences 2016</center>
<div id="horizontalmenu">
<ul>
<li>Home<br/></li>
<ul> <li>General Information <ul>
<li>About</li>
<li> Conference Fee</li>
<li>Hotel</li> </ul>
<li>Keynote Speakers<br/></li>
<li>Call for Papers<br/></li>
<li>Important Dates<br/></li>
<li>Major Areas<br/></li>
<li>Paper Submission<br/></li>
<li>Login<br/></li>
<li>Registration<br/></li>
<li>Conference Program<br/></li>
<li>Guidelines<br/></li>
<li>Comments<br/></li>
</ul>
</nav></b>
My current issue is that I'm not seeing the navigation bar now in my home page! Any ideas on how tackle this? Any help is greatly appreciated!!!!
PHP helps you do this.
Keep your navigation bar code in navbar.php file and include this file in a page you want the navigation bar. For example if you want to include the navigation bar in index.php file, you can just include it like this.
include_once("navbar.php");
You need a server to run php code. You cannot directly include a HTML file in an other HTML file.
This can be done using jQuery also. here, u write nagivation bars html in navigationBar.html and in whichever page u want to include it in, create an empty element with id #nav and in script replace the contents of it.
$.get("navigationBar.html", function(data){
$("#nav").replaceWith(data);
});
this can also be done using html5 imports tag http://blog.teamtreehouse.com/introduction-html-imports

I've made two identical pages, one calls another by clicking a link.
However, my top menubar changes significantly. What could be the reason?
HTML/CSS are absolutely same
<html> <head>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/index.css">
<link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Ubuntu' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>
</head>
<body> <div class="wrapper">
<div id="topmenu" class="navigator">
<ul class="nav">
<li>(logo)</li>
<li>FAQ</li>
<li>ABOUT</li>
<li class="search">
<input type="text" placeholder="Search...">
</li>
<li class="right">Log In/Sign Up</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
and my CSS I will put to jfiddle not to overload the page.
http://jsfiddle.net/wg54d8az/
I am using same CSS file for both pages.
I've read some guides, however I was not able to fix the problem. HTML validator shown following mistake:
"Line 4, Column 42: Attribute content not allowed on element meta at this point.
"
However, I cant clearly get what the problem is.
Well the difference is that on FAQ page your links inside topmenu don't have font-size:18 like they do on the index page.
The problem is in the meta tag before css link on the FAQ page. Change
<meta content="text/html; charset="utf-8">
to
<meta content="text/html" charset="utf-8" >
and then page will properly load index.css
I guess they way you specify page content now it doesn't recognize UTF-8 as encoding format. That leads to problems with above attribute font-size:18 (notice you only wrote number without measure unit - pixels). Other way to fix your problem is to use:
font-size:18px;
inside your index.css
It is not linking up and I have no idea why. Is it getting confused with other files? I am not entirely sure what to do as I have been trying for the last hour. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="Desktop/task/style.css"/>
<title>It's all about me!</title>
</head>
<body>
<header>
<h1>Welcome to my website</h1>
</header>
<ul>
<li>About me</li>
<li>What I love</li>
</ul>
</body>
</html>
h1 {
color: red;
}
Unless you have a Desktop folder at the same level as the html document, your path to the css file is wrong.
Your path to your css file is likely not correct double check that it is correct. also you have some css outside of a style tag (That should be in the head in the first Place) at the bottom of the page ensure that you delete that before continuing
Looks like your css file is not accessible to your web page. make sure it is in the same root location of your webpage.
example:
webpage location: c:\MyWebPage\mywebpage.htm
css location: c:\MyWebPage\Desktop\task\style.css
I want to introduce tabs into my Django web application. I going to see if I could just doo it all in css + html. Now while practising with tabs from http://www.htmldog.com/articles/tabs/, this is what I have done so far.
page1.html
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01// EN" >
<html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="base.css" />
</head>
<base>
<div id="header">
<h1>Tabs</h1>
<ul>
<li id="selected">This</li>
<li>That</li>
<li>The Other</li>
<li>Banana</li>
</ul>
</div>
</base>
</html>
page2.html
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01// EN" >
<html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="base.css" />
</head>
<base>
<div id="header">
<h1>Tabs</h1>
<ul>
<li>This</li>
<li id="selected">That</li>
<li>The Other</li>
<li>Banana</li>
</ul>
</div>
</base>
</html>
Now page1.html, and page2.html are almost the same. The only thing that is different,
id="selected" part just to indicate which tab has been selected. So what I want to do is remove any code that is redundant. For start, I wonder if it even possible I could even cut it to one index.html page as well.
You can't have one page with two different states using CSS + HTML only. Setting of id="selected" needs to result from come code somewhere, either on the server, or on the client.
You can use a URL hash to set the tab state using JavaScript. For example:
mypage.html#tab1
You can have JavaScript look at the value of document.location.hash and set selected on the appropriate tab.
I wouldn't try to reinvent the wheel. Check out jQuery UI. Has tabs built in. http://jqueryui.com/demos/tabs/
