Kasdraven Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 I'm having another DreamWaver problem. I can't set the text so that when I hit enter for a new line, it deosn't skip a line. It's set in paragragh form and won't let me change it. I switch it to none or preformatted and I try to go down to the next line and it switches back to paragragh form and skips a line on me. I also can't put in a break tag because it actually pots it into the page with < and > instead of the actual code. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boen_robot Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 (edited) Either eliminate the paragraphs' margins with CSS or write your text inside the code box of Dreamwaver where you can include true <br /> tags. I don't see other way around it.[edit] I haven't tryed pmdesign's idea though. It's so crazy that it might actually work [/edit] Edited February 15, 2006 by boen_robot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmdesign Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 boen_robot it's working :)A few months ago i was geting mad about this in DreamWeaver, but now it's ok.You can use this trick even for all of the JavaScript text editors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kasdraven Posted February 15, 2006 Author Share Posted February 15, 2006 Well it won't let me put in <br /> tags in the code editor. I tried <br /> and <br> and it formatted them into < and > the second I tried to put the cod ein myself. You know, I was wondering, could anybody set me on the right track into using CSS instead of table layouts? I know most of CSS luike the back of my hand when it coems to actual page LOOK, but I don't know how to use it for layouts. Also thanks for the help with the enter thing, it worked.

Kasdraven Posted February 15, 2006 Author Share Posted February 15, 2006 That's awsome. How many years of college did you take for it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aspnetguy Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 That's awsome. How many years of college did you take for it?<{POST_SNAPBACK}> I went to college for 2 years...I learned basic JavaScript, XHTML, CSS,ASP,PERL, SQL,Oracle,VB6,JAVA,JSP.The Javascript and CSS were just the basics which I had taought my self earlier but XHTML was new (just a more strict HMTL syntax) as well as VB,ASP,JAVA,JSP,and PERL.For the most part I feel that learning PERL was a waste of a semester...I would hope no one who is starting out as a programmer would do PERL...it is so much slower than the newer languages like ASP and Php.I am not that big on JAVA stuff but that is just a personal preference. In actuality C# has about 60-70% of the same syntax/concepts as JAVA.I struggle for the first year trying to understand the concepts of programming and what objects and classes were. But it finally clicked. I now work as a Web Developer using XHTML,CSS,JavaScript, C#, and ASP.Net.I taught myself C# and ASP.Net after college becuase I thought it would be more useful than ASP and it got me my job . I am now teaching myself PHP because I have had a few opportunities to get side contracts.So basically you just have ot start somewhere and expand from there as you learn new languages.Good Luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kasdraven Posted February 15, 2006 Author Share Posted February 15, 2006 Thanks. I'm learning XHTML right now, have been since I heard about it nad heard it was stricter than HTML, since HTMl is so messy anymore, not really that hard. I only know the basics of JS and don't know how the heck I am going to get better at it. CSS si easy when you et ahold of the syntax, and i'm not too much into programming languages like C++ or C#, and PHP is way out of my league as of yet.

Things like that can be so annoying!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They all said c/c++ was so hard to learn. I had just started learning it when I got offered a PHP contract so I dropped it for now.....hope to master it some day.
