HTML Experts: Is there is a special or secret way to use HTML while designing a webpage?
Q. For instance, if you just use "regular" HTML, will people still be able to see and use my website normally, even if they are not using Internet Explorer? For example, I always use Firefox. Other people use things like AOL or Opera to browse the web. Thanks for your help!

A. There's no such thing as a silly question. Don't worry; HTML will work across all browsers. However, bear in mind that HTML does have different 'dialects' depending on whether you're using strict, transitional, or frameset (this goes in the doc type declaration or DTD at the top of a html page) plus older browsers such as IE6 can be quirky and not show websites exactly as they should. Just use strict and XHTML (which is a cleaner, stricter version of HTML) and you should be okay in most modern browsers. Visit (web standards section) for more info. Hope this helps.

What is the html code when placing multiple links on a single image?
Q. What is the html code when placing multiple links on a single image? For example... the image is a tree with three leaves. Rather than having the entire image being a link, how would I set up an html code that makes each individual leave a link?
Asked by hellow - Fri Feb 5 20:47:31 2010 - - 6 Answers - 0 Comments
A. To place multiple links on a single image you need an image map. You associate the image map with the image by giving the image map a name and referring to this name with you IMG tag's USEMAP attribute. Within your map you will need one area element (tag) for each link. Here is a simple example:

How to make an html document for a website using filezilla?

A. No can do. You need to save it as a .html file. It's probably saved as a .doc or .docx right now. You should use notepad for html; formatting on your computer doesn't show up online. As for filezilla, just connect to your server, navigate to the file on your computer inside filezilla, and drag and drop it wherever you want.

How do I generate html script by using a form?
Q. I have a template for my ebay auctions. I want to make a form that I can type in the variable information (ie title, description, images) and generate the html script to include those variables.
Asked by Stew d - Thu Mar 12 18:29:17 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments
A. There are many different ways depending on which technologies you are using (e.g. java, php etc.). But essentially you create an html form for your inputs which will submit to a server side script that you have on your server. This server side script will pull out the variable values from your form submission and then replace them in your template. You may do this simply by using String handling and some regex, this would be the quick and dirty way (in general this completely depends on what server side technologies are in play). You may pretty easily do this with Java using a templating engine like Velocity. The script will then return the html source with all the variables replaced back to the browser where it will be rendered.

A. HTML is just to display data to user in rich text format. Apart from that, HTML will not do anything for you. You need a "Programming language" behind to handle the input from user's browser for this. Try some good sites like www.w3schools.com for basic knowledge on any programming language. I will advise java or .NET for this reason. Even javascript can be used if you are just creating a page without concerned about security and other stuffs.
