HTML Coding

Yeah, I agree. I have done one website... I could have made it better I would have had time to complete it. The thing that confused me a bit was <table>

Oh hell yeah, it took me ages to work out <table> when I was first doing websites! They're easy when you've got the knack of them, but you definitely have my sympathy with tables... all you can do is persist.


Don't use tables for layouts myself, but they're useful for ... well, tables. Plus, as Jdsizzleslice says, you don't always have the option not to. Until you're a CSS/JavaScript ninja and can write yer own funky menus just like that

Chinese gooseberry's a citrus?

Ok, I looked it up and it's an edible berry of a cultivar group of the woody vine. You should fix that on your website isaiah, pretty gross error if you ask me.

The site is still being worked on. That is not the final location of the site. I put it there so he can see how it looks and such.

As far as js menus, personally I prefer simple navigation menus which you can layout using css.

You almost maked me think they were citrus and we don't want to make me stupider than I allready am.

Me too I generally do them first in HTML (...), then make them look pretty (and work) with CSS, then finally add JS if it needs them (eg sometimes if you have a dropdown menu, it's nice to allow someone to click on the menu to keep it open, like you can with Windows/MacOS/*nix/..

Also if you do it in CSS, it still works if the person has JS turned off (and if you make it usable in HTML, it means they don't even need CSS). Of course, nobody browses with JS turned off (*cough* except for search engines, people bothered about privacy etc *cough*) ...

What program are you using? I use Adobe's Dreamweaver CS4 right now with the HTML5 added in.

Dreamweaver's the best program of it's type IMO, you can't really beat it.

Although personally I just use a plain text editor (Notepad++ on Windows); takes a bit of effort to get going with it, but once you start doing things that way, you'll won't go back plus it means that you can edit a webpage from pretty much any computer, anywhere in the world as long as it has an internet connection. Or probably even from a smartphone or something - never tried but I can't think of a reason why you couldn't.

Tho as I say, if you're going down the GUI road, Dreamweaver is the nicest of the lot.
