I have tried to find an answer but am not finding what I am looking for. I am using hostinger to host my website and using their built in design software. Their csv output creates a csv file with all parameters in one column instead of each parameter in its own column. I believe programming is in html and I don’t have access to base code but I can add to the “header” of the code with custom code. Does anyone know what will help me to solve my issue?
I haven’t tried anything yet as I’m not very familiar with html and Hostingers support team told me to look here as they specialize in hosting and support of that, not programming.
are you using their Website builder and a pre-designed templates ?
if you think the problem come from website template, you can delete that section and use custom html code

There are two ways to add HTML code to your website, and it depends on the type of code you want to add.
If the code needs to be added to the part of your website's source code, use the Custom code field in your website's integration settings.
If the code needs to be added to the part of your website's source code, use the Embed code element.
I have been generating HTML documentation for my C++ code using Doxygen. Where I work, we have a MediaWiki page where we write documentation for a lot of our applications. Since this documentation is auto-generated and is already in a nice clean HTML format, it doesn't make sense to rewrite it to put it on the wiki. All I really need is to be able to put a link on the wiki to the auto-generated HTML.
I have been having a lot of trouble figuring out how to simply put a link to an HTML file in the wiki. It seems like it should be such a simple thing to do, but after doing some digging it really is not very straightforward. I don't even know where to put the file for it to be visible to the wiki server... I'm completely lost.
Does anyone know how to do this?
It turns out UNC links will work to access HTML files from the Wiki. The files just need to be stored in a location that the Wiki server can see such as a shared drive.
On a side note, in our Wiki, the links only work on internet explorer for some reason. I figured I would at least mention this in case someone else is trying to get this to work on a different browser and running into issues.

So I recently finished the HTML and CSS course at Codecademy, and I want to practice coding with html and css. My problem though, is that I don't know where to start. I've been searching around to try and find the information I need, but I can't find anything. I kind of feel like it's so obvious noone's ever needed to ask, but I don't know, so here I am, asking.
While searching for the answer to this question, I could only find sites that teach how to use html and css, like Codecademy, and sites that let you test html code like w3schools.com, but no sites that let you practice html and CSS.
Here's my question:
Are HTML and CSS created as .html and .css files on my computer?
You should ask new question for each of the questions you posted.
Where do I code html?
You can use any text editor. Try Sublime Text - download the app for your operating system and install.
Create a new file, saving it with the file exetension .html. Be sure you saved the file in an easy to find location - like you would with any word processing document or spreadsheet.
Open a browser (Safari, Chrome, Firefox).
Click and drag your new HTML file into the tab window.
Make some changes in your HTML file.
Refresh your browser tab.
You're now on your way to learning more about coding HTML in your local environment.
You can create HTML, CSS and JS files on your hard drive and simply open up the HTML file by double-clicking it (or opening it directly through the browser's file menu).
Typically these files are stored on an HTTP server that provides content when asked... but for your purposes to practice HTML and CSS, you can simply save the files on your hard-drive and open them from there.
Yes, they are (but CSS can be stored on a server as well, see 2.). You can then open the HTML file you're editing in any browser and see the output.
You can include CSS in your HTML file by using:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="path-to-your.css">
The path to CSS file can also lead to an online server, if the CSS file is stored there:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.5/css/bootstrap.min.css">
The simplest way I can think to answer is:
Are CSS and HTML coded in a file on one's computer?
Yes
If so, how is the CSS connected to the HTML, and how are these connected to a website?
In the HTML file you specify which CSS files will be used in your page (I'm assuming you know what CSS files are for). The web browsers like Internet Explorer, Firefox or Chrome, read the HTML code and produce the sites you see anywhere.
If you are only practicing basic HTML:
Open notepad (Windows+R, type "notepad", enter)
Write some code like the found here: http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_basic.asp
Save your file with .html extension
Open it in your web browser by just double clicking the file
EDIT. Check this other example to see how to reference the CSS files http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_css.asp.
You only need to put your HTML file and CSS file in a folder in your computer, you don't need go to any site to practice this because HTML and CSS code is interpreted directly by your web browser.
Are CSS and HTML coded in a file on one's computer?
yes and no.
Basically CSS can be anywhere; your computer, your server, someone else's server, etc.
Your Chrome blocks some local sources for security reasons, but Firefox handles them pretty well. If you have a static website (that does not involve with any database), you can just create a directory and make html, css, and javascript files and open with Firefox to test.
Otherwise, get hosting services like godaddy, or get a server like Amazon Web Services and put them in there.
If so, how is the CSS connected to the HTML, and how are these connected to a website?
Typically, this is how people do.
<html>
<head>
<link href="css/style.css" rel="stylesheet">
</head>
<body>
<!-- your body... -->
</body>
</html>
If not, where are HTML and CSS coded for use on the web?
This was answered above.
CSS and HTML are not things that need to be installed on your computer, you just need to create a file with the .html extension, put some code in it and open it with a browser. The browser interprets it automatically, the same goes for CSS. To create HTML pages for practice, all you need to install is an IDE to edit your code.
Ok - everyone has to start somewhere and I'm going to assume you are a novice so if any of this information is too basic, please excuse it.
There are tiers to consider here....First let's break down what the languages do - I'm going to talk about additional languages because I see people already talking about servers and scripting to so I'm going to try and tie this all together for you. I started self taught and learned a lot of hard lessons so hopefully this add's a little bit of an advantage to the learning curve.
SERVER Think of a server as a computer. It run's slightly different software but the principles are the same. It's only job is to store code, interpret it and present it when called. A very popular server software that you'll find is apache so let's focus on this for now. Windows is not a server and can't be used as a server. However, it's possible to edit a server with windows and it's possible to run server software on top of windows just like any other application. You'll hear references to WAMP, LAMP, XAMPP and a bunch of other acronyms but for now you just need to know why they exist and what they do. A server is not required to write and produce html and css documents
HTML The primary purpose of HTML is to tell a web browser what it's looking at. You'll see a lot of HTML4 vs HTML5 and a ton of other arguments that won't make a lot of sense up front. The important thing to remember about HTML is that it is the framework for everything website related. A lot of people will argue that other languages are more important for one reason or another but without html, none of the other languages matter at all. Whatever you know about this is fine for now. Start small and work your way up.
CSS Is amazing. CSS3 is the current standard but there are still some things that are not cross browser compatible. That's a story for another day but the basics are the same everywhere. You define your classes, id's and elements then tell them how they're going to look. The more you get in to CSS the more you'll realize how amazing it really is. It's useful on a lot of levels and plays a big part in some scripting languages. The biggest thing to remember about CSS is that you should write as little as possible. The more rules you write, the more chance there is for overlapping and something you wrote 3 files ago on line 463 is going to dominate a new rule you just wrote. Try and write as much as possible in classes too so you can really make your code globally usable.
PHP/ASP These are just two of the more popular languages that are considered back end languages. When you're thinking of a website, break it down like this. Front end = Browser, Back end = server. Anything that PHP does is on the browser side. As an end user of a website, you'll rarely see it but it's a major component. This is relevant because as you grow, you'll wonder about trying your hand at a back end scripting language. That's great but that's when you're going to start getting in to servers and such so I'm sure you'll hear a lot about the benefits of it but for now, just stay focused on the basics until you're comfortable.
Javascript/jQuery Again, this is just two popular examples of the many scripting languages that are available on the client side(the browser). These languages can generally be viewed(and edited) by the end user. They are extremely useful for changing pages content without reloading the page and they can talk to the server languages as well. Again, get more comfortable first with your basics before branching out here but with the references you're bound to receive to these languages as you learn, it's helpful to know what they do and why.
Editor To edit html you can absolutely use any text editor. Word, notepad, notepad++, sublime-text, wordpad...literally anything that saves in a standard text format. As long as the extension is html, css, etc. The editors geared towards programming offer a lot of features and benefits as compared to the basic editors available in your windows/mac setup. Try your hand at a few different ones and see what suits your taste. You can write one file of html, download the programs and right click to open with each program to see the differences. Personally I recommend Notepad++ but to each his own.
Why is my answer so long? I know this is a majorly overkill answer to your question however I also know how hard it was for me to get started in this field without some very basic knowledge. This should be enough to get you off and running and hopefully help out when you encounter some unfamiliar territory. In the future, if you find yourself looking to get in to the server/scripting world, let me know and I'll pass along a write up I did on setting up xampp for windows.
Good luck!!
You need a text editor to practice your code I recommend downloading Sublime
Its free, in sublime under view you can change syntax which is the language you are programming in you can set it to html or css or any other language you desire.
The structure for "connecting" html and css is usually a simple folder like structure.
Create a folder called Website
In that folder you would have your html file(s) you can call it index.html
Also in that folder you would have sub folder(s) for your CSS and JS but since you are just working with CSS now create a folder named css. This is where you will save your css file that could be called something like style.css
Here is a more through guide on folder and directory structure.
Keep going with Codecademy and build your own projects in the browser.
I'd recommend taking a look at a good example. HTML5 Boilerplate is a good starting point and has some good practices for a project (in my opinoin). This may be a good reference for you to get a feeling of how the javascript and css files can be arranged and linked to. The website is static so you can open the index.html file with a browser to preview it. You can also make changes to the css and javascript files to see how this changes the index.html page.
https://html5boilerplate.com/
You're asking a very broad set of questions but hopefully there's quite a few good answers in here to point you in the right direction. Good luck!
It is technically possible to have both HTML and CSS in one file using the style tags:
<html>
<head>
<title>Title</title>
<style>
h1 {
color: blue;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Test Text</h1>
</body>
</html>
However it is considered proper practice to use Cascading Style Sheets, which is probably what Code Academy used.
Checkout setting up a WAMP, LAMP, MAMP server depending on your platform (W) Windows, (M) Mac, (L) Linux.
http://www.wampserver.com/en/
https://www.linux.com/learn/tutorials/288158-easy-lamp-server-installation
https://www.mamp.info/en/
Then in your respective directory (html_public, Sites, wherever) you will have a local server environment where you can develop locally.
I use the Sites/ setup on a mac
css and javascript are usually linked in the head section of an html document.
You will need a editor - I recommend looking at Sublime Text or Atom.io
If you just want to play around for a while before attempting your own projects, you can build on sandboxes like http://codepen.io
Are CSS and HTML coded in a file on one's computer?
A: depends either you can create both css and html in one file or in different files. If you using lots of css code then everyone will suggest you to write them in different files and you can code them in someone's computer or on server.
If so, how is the CSS connected to the HTML, and how are these connected to a website?
A: you said that you have done html and course and you don't know who to add a css file to a html file. (Use Google sometimes) use this link you Wil get you answer. After coding you can test them using your web development tool if you are developing in a tool. Else use your web browser to test.
I suggest you to visit websites as much as you can an use chrome tool to see how that website is done (you can only find front end parts.)
i am busy with a chatbox that contains MySQL, AJAX, PHP and Javascript.
Now i want to have this on my iPod Touch/iPhone, so i am building a website with iWebKit.
The following codes i provided is done now; just asking why it does not display the chatbox itself (so not the senders) after more than 2 lines are entered... What codes should i add or remove... Thanks.
I guess something with CSS or so, but i am not sure where i should apply it and what... Or maybe something else?
Download .zip here with all files
Your zip file is all php. I for one won't run someone else's php code on any of my servers. It would be much safer if you gave us a link to the problem page on your server.
Also, you have included the compressed CSS and not included the necessary Javascript file, so anyone wanting to help you would be facing a serious challenge.
Since it might well be an iWebKit issue, try the iWebKit forum. They are very helpful there.
I'm looking for a HTML editor that kinda supports templated editing or live snippets or something like that.
Background: I'm working on a website for a friend. As there are no specifications what the webspace/webserver can or can't do, I decided to make it a pure HTML/CSS page, or rather 10 of them. I wrote a template, copied it 10 times and edited the content. And guess what, the template has to be changed.
Therefore I'm looking for a (HTML-)editor that has some kind of live template system where I can edit the content in as it where plain text and then save the project into the 10 pure HTML/CSS files.
I thought about using PHP (the only script language I've some knowledge in), but writing the underlying template script would cost me enough time that I could change all files by hand. I'm not that familiar with AJAX to know if there's a way to load content from another file. If so, this would be an option if there already is a script. With Webdeveloper (firefox extension) I could save the generated source code as HTML/CSS.
Thanks in advance
Edit: any hints how to do this without an editor are welcome
Edit2: In my mind the tool looks like a plain old text editor like SciTe, but capable of editing multiple files simultaneously in the same text area, so it looks like editing one ordinary file, but actually it's a whole bunch of files.
Dreamweaver will do this for you, it's had HTML templating of the type your describe built in from very early versions (because from how you phrase the question I do not think you're thinking along the lines of a PHP templating engine such as Smarty, but some sort of HTML layout formating)
Although I regularly look around for Dreamweaver replacements, and I've certainly been impressed by Aptana, I still tend to use Dreamweaver in my development stack simply because whereas I can compensate for some of the more coding-orientated features it misses, I find the WYSIWYG nature of the editor invaluable.
I would have used a template engine.
I wrote a post about a dead simple script using the Dwoo template engine and mod_rewrite, where I am taking the uri and loading the forrect data and template based on that. You should be able to get it running in a few minutes.
Maybe I am way off on this, but why don't you look into an Open Source Content Management System (PHP/MYSQL)? There are MANY light systems that are not like Drupal, Joomla (if you do not want the big bulk of those CMS's).
There are even a few good ones for light web design that are flat file driven.
That would be my suggestion, at least if not for this project, look into it for future projects.
Here is an example of a great micro CMS that would seem to fit the bill for what you are doing:
