I'm an absolute beginner in coding. In fact, I'll probably never do it again ;)
I'm trying to create this very simple website for my boyfriend as a surprise (he's a developer). And now I'm just encountering one problem after the other :(
I've decided on html (although I'm so desperate by now that I'd be willing to go with anything).
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<h1>Hello, world (especially Mitchell)</h1>
<h2>I want to show you something…</h2>
<p>Remember that time when I was losing so many rounds of Quizduell that even you noticed? Well, turns out I was doing that on purpose. I was trying to spell something out for you. But as I found out the hard way, it is actually really hard to lose specific games on purpose in the exact order you need. It seemed like I needed to change my plans…</p>
<img src=“7.JPG” alt=“error” style="width:304px;height:228px;">
This is all I have so far. And it's just going to be a bit more text, a couple more images and maybe a little bit of colour and layout (if I can manage that).
Right now my biggest problem is inserting the images.
It just doesn't work :(
Can someone please help me?
You have to close all of your tags. You see the and tags, etc.? All of those tags with /'s before them are the end of a section. First of all, you need that for your <html> and <body> tags. You also need it on your image tag, but there is a special way to do so for such tags as images. Simply add a space followed by a slash at the end of the angled brackets of the image tag:
<img src=“7.JPG” alt=“error” style="width:304px;height:228px;" />
This basically allows the tag to be on one line, making code simpler.
Good job on your project so far, and good luck!
Fixed version of your code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<h1>Hello, world (especially Mitchell)</h1>
<h2>I want to show you something…</h2>

<img src=“7.JPG” alt=“error” style="width:304px;height:228px;" />
</body>
</html>
`
In case this doesn't work, make sure 7.JPG is in the directory of the .html file. The filename is case-sensitive.
First of all, I thought that it was very sweet of you to do that!
Here is a sample html that might help you out.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>Document</title>
</head>
<body>
<img src="./promo_5.png" alt="Describe my picture here!" />
</body>
</html>
The body and the html is wrapped here, and the image src is using relative path to find the image.
How sweet!
I would suggest you to use a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editor to design like Microsoft Word. After you are done with the design, go to tools > source code. There you can get the html code for your design. Simply copy the code from there and paste it within the <body></body> tag. And done! You have designed the webpage!

For image issues, make sure that they are placed in the same directory where the .html file is kept. It should work properly.

I am trying to get the mousehover effect in xml, but no idea. However i followed a tutorial from youtube and tried working with html first.
However,I can not see the mouse hover effect .
BY the way I followed this link on youtube.

Please help me out. One more thing I would like to know how can i convert it to xml.That is my final objective at this point.
Here is my html code.
<html>
<head>

</head>
<body>
<div>
<img src="wheel.jpeg" onmouseover="src='wheel.jpeg'" onmouseout="src='wheel.jpeg'"">
</div>
</body>
</html>
The images are the same. You have to provide a different image for the onmouseover handler
What do I have to do to get my images to show up on my webpage. I am trying to put the images in my html document. The box shows up but not the image. This the code <img scr="smile.jpg" width="120" height="90"/> I have not put the web page on the internet yet.

You have to spell src correctly (SouRCe). You have two of its letters reversed.
This would have been picked up if you had performed some basic automated QA by using a validator.
your img tag was wrong,it should be
<img src="smile.jpg" width="120" height="90"/>
Check the following:
Could your image possibly be in another folder than your your file?
Could there be other divs or elements on the page that might be "on top" of your image?
Could your layout place things "off-screen"?
Could there be code that sets something to visibility: none?
Could you have spelled the filename of the image wrong?
Are you absolutely certain you force refresh your browser window when trying to load again?
Please give us the entire code; preferably as a JS-fiddle.
If you're looking to find it on a Linux server, the file name is case-sensitive. If you set it up and tested it and found that it tests fine on a Windows system, you will perhaps not have noticed that smile.JPG and SMILE.jpg and Smile.jpg will all be treated as though they're the same thing as smile.jpg. On a Linux host, if you call for smile.jpg and it's been stored as smile.JPG (for example), you'll get the result you're observing.
Width and Height attributes should have units. You want them in pixels?
Try this:
<img src="smile.jpg" width="120px" height="90px"/>
I'm trying to set up Google Sites for my own personal website:
<html>
<head>
<title>...</title>
</head>
<body background="page_bg.png" text="#000000" bgcolor="#333333">
<div align="center"><img src="content.jpg" border="0" alt=""></div>
</body>
</html>
So all I want is a background picture (I accomplished to do this under settings) and only one picture in the middle of the site itself. I was trying to get rid of all the gimmicks (such as the sidebar, shadows of the frame, etc.) but I failed. Is it even possible to do this?
The reason I use Sites is, because the web address "https://sites.google.com/site/my_name_here/" is clear, it's free and it makes my site appear in the google search.
edit, my solution: I found a template called "Blank Template (Black)" which didn't contain anything (no sidebar, etc). I added my own background picture, inserted my content.jpg and done.
I guess you have to use something like:
<body style="background:#333333 url('page_bg.png'); color=#000000;">
<div style="text-align:center;"><img src="content.jpg" border="0" alt=""></div>
</body>
Oh ok, right! I think you cannot add your own styles using html/css. But if you go to "Managing Web site" there is a "Colors and fonts" option, and there you make you own customization for some elements, like select a different background color.
Is that what you're looking for Thomas?

I'm working on migrating a fairly large site to a new framework, but we're doing it in separate stages, so I'm trying to find a good way to wrap the current layout around my new framework. Ideally, a simple structure like this would suffice:
<body>
<iframe src="old_framework/top.php" />
<div id="main_content"></div>
<iframe src="old_framework/bottom.php" />
</body>
Problem being that top.php is a menu with CSS dropdowns and they need to overlap #main_content.
I get that I can't break out of top.php's iframe like that, so this structure will not work, but I'm curious if anyone has encountered a similar situation and found a workaround.
I think the problem with the iframes cannot be fixed!
Another way to solve the problem could be removing iframes and, for example, try to do this way:
<body>
<div id="top"><?php include_once("old_framework/top.php"); ?></div>
<div id="main_content"></div>
<div id="bottom"><?php include_once("old_framework/bottom.php"); ?></div>
</body>
Honestly, using php (or similar) includes will save you a lot of headaches. Iframes aren't used much any more and are nothing but trouble in my experience.
I appreciate the comments from everyone. I wound up just totally re-implementing the old layout in my new framework. Took a little bit, but definitely less hacky than any other solution.
#Joel Etherton: I actually audibly LOL'd when I read your comment. Rest assured, I won't be receiving said award now.
I've noticed that there are a couple of similar questions and answers at SO already, but let me clarify my specific question here first:
I've got lecture slides which states like this:
http://mindinscription.net/webapp/csstest/precedence.PNG
To be frank, I haven't heard of this rule of css precedence myself, and I googled to find something with similar topic but not quite like that : here
To have a test myself, I've made a test page on my own server here
After running it on FireFox 3.6.3, I am sure it does not show the way as it should be, according to the statement in lecture slides:
imported stylesheet ? am I doing it wrong? I cannot see its effect using FireBug
it says that embedded stylesheet has a higher precedence over linked/imported stylesheets, however, it doesn't work, if I put the linked/imported tag AFTER that.
inline style vs html attributes ? I've got an image where I firstly set its inline style to control the width and height, then use direct html attributes width/height to try modifying that, but failed...
Below is the source code :
<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
#target
{
border : 2px solid green;
color : green;
}
</style>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="./linked.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />
</head>
<body>
<div id="target">A targeted div tag on page.</div>
<img src="cat.jpg" alt="" style="width : 102px; height : 110px;" width="204px" height="220px" />
</body>
</html>
Can any experienced CSS guys help me figure out if the slide is correct or not?
Frankly speaking, I am puzzled myself, as I can clearly see some other "incorrect" statements here and there amongst the slides, such as JavaScript is on client-side (how about server-side JavaScript?) and "Embedded styles are in the head section of a web page
"(what the heck? I am not allowed to put it inside the body tag?)
Sorry about this silly question, the exam is on TOMORROW, and I now see a lot of things to think about :)
First, with imported stylesheets they mean stylesheets embedded using the #import rule.
Second, a few lines below that explanation in the CSS 2.1 spec there's an explanation of the cascading order. Other parts of the spec might be useful for your exam, too. Good luck.
Update: A bit of googling resulted in:
http://www.blooberry.com/indexdot/css/topics/cascade.htm
http://monc.se/kitchen/38/cascading-order-and-inheritance-in-css
http://www.boogiejack.com/CSS_4.html
http://www.communitymx.com/content/article.cfm?page=2&cid=2795D
etc.
The properties by <style></style> are being reassigned by the selector in linked.css.
There is no element with id="div" for imported.css.
