Help with making web page (uploading pics)

**cxcxcxvcvcvc** · 03-10-2008, 09:53 PM

G,day to all!
Im in the middle of attempting *cough* to make a web page for my business, trouble is i don't have a clue as to how any of this stuff works

Now i found a web site that's been very help full in making your own web page using note pad but i am having problems when it comes to putting pics up! Hers an example=
The web site tells me in note pad to put this up=
<body>
<img src="chef.gif" width="130" height="101">
</body>
Now that image works on the page that i have made ect but when i try to put a different image up (one that i downloaded and saved) it wont display properly ( the outline of the pic is there but there is only a little broken box up in the top left corner) I think its because the image i have downloaded and save is a jpeg image and not a gif image?? any help would be great!

Glad you got it sorted...

On a side note: Learn CSS.

cheers mate

But whats CSS

Im actually trying to figure out how to create a link, to no avail

**Tom_1569** · 03-10-2008, 11:41 PM

Link:
<a href="http://www.google.com.au/">TEXT HERE</a>

Change the URL to the proper url, and the TEXT HERE to what text you want to link... hope that makes sense, sorry if it doesnt im very tired.

W3School is literally like the best resource for everything... (apart from the Java API)

CSS = Cascading Style Sheets. Once you know CSS, your webpages will benfit like 10fold.

Toms code is accurate... in regards to the link.

i agree and disagree..

1. I NEVER! and i repeat NEVER use programming aids which include dreamweaver and anyother program which does literally all the hard work for you.

It makes you a very lasy programmer. Bad.

2. Its good in terms of getting something half decent out quick..maninly in cvxvxvxvxvxvx(sp?)'s case.

3. If you want to take a new task on, learn the entire language. Not every tag and its attributes but its past, use, limitations and syntax. There is more to programming than just knowing how to make stuff come up. There is links between elements and a flow your code should demonstrait.

There is alot of rules to programming too... like how to set things out, what to use and when etc. These should be know!

AS for your picture issue. You have a few options.. ill rank them from hardest to easiest.

1. Make a PHP script to lookup the required pics and display them in a gallery by using xml.

2. use a CSS build gallery page

3. Use a flash gallery page

4. Make a new page, upload pics to that and then link to the page..like this:

Page1:

<html>
<head>
<title>Page 1</title>
</head>

<body>
<h1>This is the main page with a link to the other images page</h1>
<br/>
<a href="page2.html">Click Here to view my images</a>
</body>
</html>

Page2:
<html>
<head>
<title>Page 2</title>
</head>

<body>
<img src="imagessrc.extension"></img>
<img src="imagessrc.extension"></img>
<img src="imagessrc.extension"></img>

</body>
</html>

Thats a really basic description of what ya wanna achieve...

Why add another level of complexity when just first getting your head around html?

My advice would be forget about CSS, learn how HTML works first, then worry about styling (that can be achieved through strict use of html) later.

HTML is easy after 2 or 3 weeks of working on it. If you're wanting to make a photo gallery however, just using html is one of the worst options out there to do it. PHP is the easiest option, but again that's adding another level of complexity that will probably do your head in at this stage

Yeah im getting the basics sorted @ the moment and hope to add some pics @ a later stage!

**Tom_1569** · 04-10-2008, 12:35 PM

Yeah dont worry about PHP or CSS yet, focus on understanding HTML, and get a good grasp for it.
Avoid using programs that do the code for, use notepad, its the correct way to learn.
That way if you get a fault you can debug because you understand the code.
Dreamweaver is an excellent program, and great for getting a job done quickly, but learn the basics first.
If you need any help keep singing out.
