ok so basically, I should learn html and then read how to 'convert' it to xhtml?

what is XML?

I started to learn JavaScript so I could use greasemonkey (firefox extension) but after going through the tutorial and learning quite alot, I decided that my html knowledge wasn't up to scratch.I thought then, are xhtml, xml and html the same type of thing, because I would rather learn xhtml than html just because I have heard people say its newer and slightly more "shiney".Anyone able to answer these queries?EDIT: Does PHP do the same too?

Unlimited packageExpert packagethose would be the two main packages in my opinion, A really cheap one, but still with brilliant services including FTP, and the big one with eeverything you could ever need, for a really low price.Thought I would let you guys know as it is a very good deal!Click on the thumbnails to see a slideshow (kinda) of services and price of whichever you click on.

bye bye then, thanks for the hwlp anyway!

that's the error I get after I copy that code you sent and exported it.And yes it is 3.52 am here, don't know about you...I wonder if we have broken a record for longest 1st thread or longest thread between only two users, lolsince its so late, i am looking up stuff to stay awake and i noticed you are number 7 top poster now and number 1 for today, I am number 2 for toady, combined we make up of half of the total posts toaday! lol

Why is there not a simple "edit nodes/id tags" and then i could do it right, instead of me sitting up a 4.00 in the morning with about 23 programs running trying to get the words "Welcome back blah" on a webpage....

export as what?

I used PSPad to import the html from the website and I changed it and it worked quite well when I tested it within PSPad's tester, but how do I upload/export/save the code back onto the webpage now? Just clicking save doesn't work because that tries to save it as a PSPad project

that's what I was trying to say, opened it up, changed the code, clicked save, no difference... It just reverts back to default :-(

I was thinking about giving in and just using an alert box or something but then a thought struck me, I would never be able to get element tags which would ruin my chances of using greasemonkey which, btw is the only reason I started learning javascript...see all very complicated isn't it? :)oh, fyi, the chat worked fine on IE for me , must just not like you

AhHa! bang! thats a problem right there... even though I save the notepad file, everytime I click veiw source it has reverted to a non- id'ed version

I have edited the code via IE, it does not work for FF (don't know why) but i want to try it on I.E, now for the noobist question ever, how do I clear cookies in IE?

Just an idea, theres a chat page on my site if you want to use it becuase itt might be faster, but I know some people likt to stick to the board so its upto you, im on chat now so pop into it if you want

when i veiw source it opens in a new FF window and there is a text cursor icon (the | one) but if I click on the text and type nothing happens...

I right clicked over the page and selected view source and even got as far as finding the right bit, but I can't change the code....

ill postpone celebrating untill one last post...how do I open a page in notepad? (seriously)and thank you, like a gizilllion times, your a great help, infact i mite make you a thank-you page on my site

time to get some stuff sorted herewhat do you mean "by hand"when I put in the id value it doesn't stay, next time I open the inspector up there is no idwhat are you talking about "Div class" in the inspector it is just "class"I am srry if i am making you lose your patience but no matter what code I start to learn there are alway some problems...in VB.NET I couldn't do arrays or randomsin Actionscript, my buttons and cursor wouldnt work etc...basically, can you give me a step by step?

Whyyyyyy??????still nothing happens when I reload the homepage after entering my name in the box...The cookie is working alright because in the DOM inspectore I changed from nodes to JS objects and saw the cookie and it had the right info.why is it not displaying?try it urself?

That look right to you?and also, what is to prevent non-website owners from changing your id name and messing up website code?

groaaan....In I.E I get an error now, In FF I enter my name, refresh the page and... nothing, still an empty paragraph, after the DOM inspecter, if I add an attribute, it doesn't appear in the bottom left pane, but the id name does appear. but anyway, I am still getting the I.E error and the FF blank paragraph. Is there anyway for me to like, give control to you or something and you can try?(haven't got a clue what i'm talking about when i say control, lol)

Do you mean in the DOM inspecter? and if so do you mean to add new 'blah' and put in id= and then in value put in 'fw-paragraph'?P.S I hate being a newbie in these things...P.P.S don't worry, we'll get your postcount up past 300 in this topic yet

ok, I think I know what I am doing know, but I need to know something, how do I edit the id names of certain elements because at the minute, there are no id names for any of the elements.oh, and yes, the one that has the time in it sometimes, I put that in just to check that code was working ok.

hi, thanks for that, but its still not working :-(... I think i may have gotton the paragraph id wrong. Could you please check it for me? It's the paragraph(currently blank) above the embede flash and below the navbar.

Thanksgood job on the new sig, its much more accurate
