Html For N00bs

Falling Down25 · #1 (**permalink**) 01-30-2007, 05:04 AM

Hey guys,
I am a new member here, but I have a lot of background on HTML coding, and a little on PHP, and MySQL. Well, here is a short little tut/refrence for everyone that wants to learn or wants to remember some HTML.

Code:

<html>
(starts the HTML document)

<body bgcolor="colorhere">
(Creates the backgorund color.)

<body background="blank.jpg">
(Creates a background image.)

<!----This is a comment-----!>
(The code above creates a comment)
<body text="color">
(Creates the text color)

<head>
(starts the head.)

<title>Your title here</title>
(Creates the title in the blue bar at the top ( Color pending on the color of your computer screen.)

</head>
(ends the header section.)

<h1>-</h6>
(Creates a size font. h1 is the biggest, h6 is the smallest)

<form>
(Starts a form)

<input type="text" name="textt" value="Text Here">
(Creates a text box

<input type="password" name="pass" value="password">
(Creates a password feild)

<textarea>Text Here</textarea>
(Creates a text area)

<input type="submit" name="sub" value="Submit!">
(Creates a submit button)

<input type="reset" name="res" value="reset!">
(Creates a reset box.)

<font color="colorhere">Text Here</font>
(creates a font color)

<img src="img.jpg">
(Creates an image)

<a href="url">Hyperlink</a>
(Creates a hyper link)

<a href="url"><img src="img.jpg"></a>
(Creates a button)

<a href="url" target="_blank">Text Here</a>
(Creates a pop-up window)

(That is just a quick tut/refrence.)

Hello FallingDown. I just signed up here and am trying to reach my 10 post minimum, so I can download the Sample Contract. I wanted to add this link in addition to the information you've already posted.

This link includes most of your basic HTML Tags.

FallingDown you mention you do some PHP. I've had a heck of a time trying to get it setup correctly. I'm using Hapedit, everytime I try to insert an image I crash and burn. So, I've come to the conclusion that I've probably messed something up, but what? Maybe what I'm looking for is a check list?

Hmmm... is Hapedit some kind of PHP editor? And I do not know what you mean when you say

Sorry dude, but that tutorial is a bit messed up. I don't think it's a good idea to have more than one body tag.

<body text="color" background="bg.jpg">

would be the way to do it. Plus, the <head> tag goes before the body tag. =\

oH...ok.. The link has some basic Html tags. Hapedit is a free editor you can use for several languages html, php...etc. It's pretty nice. My problem is when I initially tried to setup PHP on this machine I rushed through it and fudged it up. Everything is still in place until I could get a chance to check it step by step, or just trash it and start over fresh.

Here's a download link for HAPedit. It's free and supports multiple languages.
Are you using DreamWeaver?

Resh if your offering to help me get Php setup correctly, that would be great. I'm not exactly sure when this will be...let me know what you have going on your end...I'm on Eastern time for starters. Like I mentioned before, when I tried setting it up I rushed through it and messed something up. What? I haven't clue. I'll be watching.

Sorry man, I have no idea how to get PHP installed. I had trouble myself. I got my dad to do it.

And sorry about bashing you, I see that this wasn't supposed to be an example document, it was just a reference of the basic tags.

No problem Resh. The post was by Falling Down, I just added to that by including a link to page with some basic Html tags. In addition to that, the code he posted does create the form, input fields...etc and works. As far as the color, they're a bit too hot for me.

Donald20 and myself were looking for information on a good way to do some banner animations/effects.
