  5. Why my iframe & my textarea are not getting along?

    in HTML/XHTML

    Posted · Edited by JavierDL

    Mind you due to the work environment technical restrictions I can only use IE8.The OS is WinXP. For some reason that I'm failing to spot, I can't have both things at the same time. Is either the iframe tag or the textarea tag. I wonder if it's a limitation of IE8, or I'm just doing a "big NO NO". I would appreciate it if someone could enlighten me with this ;)Notice that if you are to remove the Comments tags from the iframe tag the textarea tag will no longer show. 

    <html><head> <style type="text/css">div.c_notes { position:relative; width:400px; height=auto; left:600px; top:-600px;border:1px solid black;}div.d_titles2 { position:relative; width:1000px; height=35px; left:400px; top:-300px;background-color:000;border:1px solid black;}div.b_titles1 { position:relative; left:200px; top:-200px;height=35px; background-color:000; border:1px solid black;}div.c2_sources { position:relative; width:300px; height=298px; background-color:fff; left:182px; top:-10px;border:1px dashed green;} h5 {font-family:arial, sans-serif; /}h3 {font-family:verdana,sans-serif;/}th {font-family:verdana,sans-serif; color:ffffff;/}font {font-family:calibri, arial, verdana, sans-serif; margin-left:10px; /}font.smll {font-family:verdana,sans-serif; font-size:9pt;color:ffffff;/}td {background-color:white;}img.de3symb {margin-left:10px; /} /* padding-left:2cm; */ </style> </head><body> <div class="c2_sources"> <table>  <tr>  <td><!-- <iframe src="c2cbuttons.htm" scrolling="no" width="400px" > -->   </td> </tr> </table></div>    <div class="b_titles1" style="width:400px;"> Notes </div>  <textarea cols="54" rows="16" scrolling="auto" style="background-color:#e8edef;color:000;font-family:verdana,arial;" >Replace this text with your own notes - Warning:Your notes will be erased should you refresh/reload this page.</textarea>    </div> <!-- Notes ends -->  <div class="d_titles2"><font> This is some text to fill in the cells.

  9. How to format text

    in JavaScript

    Posted

    Hi all, I'm a total rookie with JS, I know HTML & CSS though.I was hoping someone could tell me how formatting of text is done in JS.More specifically, I am trying to use this JS popup window, but I would love to be able to format its contents (font family, font weight, window padding, etc). Thanks in advance guys :) JDL

  11. How to link to local files?

    in HTML/XHTML

    Posted

    I hope this is not too confusing...My wife and I have separate Windows accounts, and there are some files I want her to have access to. Instead of creating a second set of files for her I thought maybe I could just email her links to those files. I know HTML and some CSS, but I can't figure out what the syntax would look when those files are not in the web. Can someone please enlighten me? Thanks in advance,JDL

  15. When is it a good time to open a Forum/Board?

    in General

    Posted

    Thanks guys :)Skemcin, thank you kindly for your time and words. Based on your advice/explanation, I guess I'll wait and see how people react to the web site and maybe a couple of surveys/polls, and take it from there. If they are to see the value in our purpose then the forum has to work, because it's the kind of thing that can benefit greatly from the exchange of ideas and sense of community, support each other, etc. Sorry I'm so hush hush about it, but I have an understanding with a partner and well, you how these things are :) Btw, should the people want a forum, and it were to be somewhat busy, would this mean it could be a full time (8hrs) job?Have a good one now,JDL

  16. When is it a good time to open a Forum/Board?

    in General

    Posted

    I feel our web site could benefit from having a forum, but it was occurring to me that it might be best to first inaugurate the web site and see how it goes, maybe run a couple of polls from time to time to check how really visitors feel about having a forum. And take it from there. Of course the alternative would be simply to inaugurate the forum right after the web site, or at the same time, and hope that people will actually find the forum useful.Probably a second question steaming from the one above could be: How long is long enough to know whether people will ever find that forum useful or not?Thanks in advance guys SmileyJDL

  18. Can iFrames be controlled via CSS too?

    in CSS

    Posted

    I'm very new to CSS, so I would really appreciate it if you could not just reply with a "yes", but along with some sample syntax, both for the actual CSS & the HTML part of it.I have already tried it, but chances are I didn't use the right kind of selector. I know a rule has to be created in the CSS part, then this rule's name has to match a selector in the HTML. Any help will be greatly appreciated,Thanks in advance,JDL

    Thanks a bunch jlhaslip :) That helps to better understand how this all works.I think it would help big time right now to see what the right code to make this page work looks like.Can you give me a hand with this please?J.

    This is what I've done so far, could you please have a look, I could really use a hand figuring out what's wrong with the right side box.

    One question about your code S@m:Could you please explain why you chose "float" ? Just trying to learn.

    #content {float:left;position:relative;width:60%;background-color:#99ff66;}

  23. Laying out DIVs

    in CSS

    Posted

    Bare with me I'm so new to CSS. I am testing out CSS layout techniques with DIVs (instead of tables). And so far I have learned that the DIV margin property will define its position on the page, depending on how much margin it's given on each of its sides. What I can't figure out so far is how to put 2 (or more) DIVs side by side?To be more specific, the question is how to do it using this techniqueThe main problem I have encountered is that the margin of the 1st DIV keeps me from positioning the 2nd DIV next to it. But then again, keep in mind I'm just a CSS rookie, so...Thanks,JDL

  24. What is the preferred unit? em?

    in CSS

    Posted

    Ever since I started learning about CSS I have become aware of the "em" unit, which seems to me it might be the preferred one, as it is not resolution dependent. I would love to hear what the CSS experienced masters could share about this.Thanks in advance,JDL

  25. Meaning of: apDiv

    in CSS

    Posted

    Thanks for the complete reply jlhaslip :)Reason why I was asking is because Dreamweaver has a column specifically to list all AP Elements in the code. These AP Elements (apDiv1. apDiv2, apDiv3, etc) were initially created by Photoshop when exporting the image with slices, I purposely chose for it to use CSS/Div as oppose to tables. Actually, I just found some more info on this from the Dreamweaver Help file:"An AP element in Dreamweaver is an HTML page element—specifically, a div tag, or any other tag—that has an absolute position assigned to it."Thanks again guys :)
