TABLES

Here's an example of what you can do with table's. Learn them well and you can do almost anything with them. Sidebars are made with tables. Here's and example of a simple one and the codes for it click here. And so are F-Key saver sites., which I'm sure you've seen by now.

If I would've added a simple a href code, this box below could take you to anywhere on my site, all you would have had to do is click where you wanted to go. There are a couple of good sites to teach you tables, here's a couple of them, warpspeed, and Draacs, and here's my tutorial click here. Or if you want to look what can really be done with tables look at TableTime.

Here's another example of what you can do with tables. Have you ever made a banner like this:

And then wrote above or below it, or in your message, "Click here to enter my website". Not that impressive is it. Or put a border around it only to find that when you click on it you find that the yellow box goes around your banner instead of around the border. Well you can take it to a place like "Image Magik", or use a border code to do what you want. Here's an example of what I did to the same banner to make it look better:

Click Here To

Enter My Site

Looks better doesn't it. Well here the code:

<center>
<table href="address of your site" border="?" cellspacing="?" cellpadding="?" bgcolor="?">
<tr>
<td><center><font size="1" color="#FFFF00">Click Here To</font></center>
<img src="banner address here" height="?" width="?" alt="Banner">
<center><font size="1" color="#FFFF00">EnterMySite</center> </font>
</center>
</td>
</tr>
</table>

Here's a way to put a colored border around your images.

You can put anycolor you want in the border="?" the bigger the number, the bigger the border. You can also use any color you want on the bgcolor="?".

*NOTE A lot of people don't mess with the cellspacing, and the cellpadding and just leave them out. But it's a good practice to get into leaving them in and putting a value on them, even if it's "0". When you get into more complicated table forms with gradangles and gradcolors, you'll need to leave the cellspacing and padding in. If you just leave them out they will go to 1 by default, which can mess things up for you. Also you can leave the bgcolor= out if you wish, it will become the color of the background, if you want the border a different color than the background that's when you use it.

Now here something neat you can add to your webpage's, there called "Audioscopes". I'm sure you've seen them someplace.
Click here for Music.

A great place to learn about making them is here.

I have had a lot of people asking 2 things. One, how do you make that drop down menu you have?. Well here it is, just cut,copy, and paste it.

Here's a drop down for your emails, the one above won't work in emails. This will work anywhere, and is PC compatible.

Alot of people have been asking about the pop up screens. So Here that is too. Just CCP it and where it say's your text here, type in what you like. It should be put between your <head&tg; tags

If your going to use the drop down menu above, it uses what is called "Javascript". And every once in awhile webtv gets hit with the "Webtv Bug". So there are a couple of codes you can use to detect the bug and tell people to reload the page, here they are. The fist one is by Prototype.

I'm not sure who came up with the second one. But both work and should be put on the top of your pages. This second one you can change, not the first. You can change the text between the <noframes> to anything or size you want, or add a gif if you wish.

Here's the code for making a text box, "The white boxes that you can ccp the codes from". You can just ccp it and put it in your webpage, it works good for putting codes in. You can change the background color, and the color of the text. You can also change the height by changing the rows, and change the width by changing the cols=.

Those are the main things you need to learn. Excecpt, Always give credit where credit is due! If you use something from somebody else, give them credit, they deserve it. It's the proper thing to do.

Some of you will make sites that are more for teaching or showing a list of things. Here's a couple of way's that I know to make a list look nice.

All of these can be made into links by putting a <a href="address here">title here</a>. After the <LI>

apples
peaches
pears

To make the dot appear in front of the fruits I used this code:

<UL>
<LI>apples</LI>
<LI>peaches</LI>
<LI>pears</LI>
</UL>.

Here's another way

Apple
Peaches
Pears

Here's the code:

<UL TYPE="CIRCLE">
<LI>Apple</LI>
<LI>Peaches</LI>
<LI>Pears</LI>
</UL>

Here's another way:

apples
peaches
pears

Here's the code:

<OL>
<LI>apples</LI>
<LI>peaches</LI>
<LI>pears</LI>
</OL>

Here's another way

apples
peaches
pears

Here's the code.

<UL TYPE="A">
<LI>apples</LI>
<LI>peaches</LI>
<LI>pears</LI>
</UL>.

Here's a Roman Numeral list:

FLORIDA
CALIFORNIA
TEXAS
MAINE

Here's the code:

<OL TYPE="I">
<LI> FLORIDA</LI>
<LI> CALIFORNIA</LI>
<LI> TEXAS</LI>
<LI> MAINE</LI>
</OL>

Here's a square list:

FLORIDA
CALIFORNIA
TEXAS
MAINE

Here's the code:

<UL TYPE="square">
<LI> FLORIDA</LI>
<LI> CALIFORNIA</LI>
<LI> TEXAS</LI>
<LI> MAINE</LI>
</UL>

One more way to make a list is this way:

Main title of catagories here

Title of catagories here
- First catagory here
- Second catagory here
- Third catagory here
Second title here
- First catagory here
- Secong catagory Here

Here's the code:

Main title of catagories here

<UL>
<LI>Title of catagories here</LI>
<UL>
<LI>First catagory here</LI>
<LI>Second catagory here</LI>
<LIL>Third catagory here</LI>
</UL>
<LI>Second catagory title hrere</LI>
<UL>
<LI>First catagory here</LI>
<LI>Second catagory here</LI>
</UL>
</UL>

And one more way to make a list is this way:

The main title of your catargories here

title of catagories here
- First catagory here
- Second catagory here
- Third catagory here

Here's the code:

The main title of your catargories here

<UL>
<LI>title of catagory's here</LI>
<UL>
<LI>First catagory here</LI>
<LI>Second catagory here</LI>
<LI>Third catagory here</LI>
</UL>
<UL>
<UL>
<LI>First sub catagory here</LI>
<LI>Second sub catagory here</LI>
<LI>Third sub catagory here</LI>
</UL>
</UL>
</UL>

Well I'm not sure how much more I can put in these pages. Pretty much everything you need to know is here to make your page. The page itself is up to you. What you want it to be about, color's, everything you want to put in it. The only advice I can give is research the topic your page is going to be about. Make and outline of your page before you start, and gather all the stuff you'll need. Like graphics, music, guestbooks, and make sure you have all the info going into the page too. And don't try and put everything on one page, make more pages if needed. And make your pages easy to navigate, not just a jumble of stuff in no particular order.

As always, Thanks for stopping by, and please sign the guestbook if you haven't yet. "Kid"

Just remember that your webpage, or site, will only be as good as the effort your willing to put into it. This means "Research, and learning what you need to." But never be afraid to ask for help, there are a lot of nice people who can, and will help you if you just ask.
