Web Site Help

Okay I’m new to the whole “building a web site” and I’m taking a html class but I still have a few questions.

1. Is it possible to make a web site with out macromedia dream weaver?

2. I looked Imageready and after you save a file it gives you some type of html script but when I copy and paste it to my soon to be site nothing shows up but a red X.

3. If I make my own template could I just ask some one to code it and if so how much would it cost?

If you have answers to any of these questions please respond.

 

1) Yes. You can use Frontpage or just plain Notepad if you're good at HTML

2) You may have the HTML code for the site, but you also need all the individual images in the right folder (usually /images/) in relation to where your HTML file is

3) Yes. Some people may do it for free, or pretty cheap depending on the complexity (<$10).

 

with image ready, when u save a html version it generates a html file and a folder with each slice/image in it. open the html file to veiw the site, or right click and edit with dreamweaver.

making a site in pure html usually looks boring and dull, so using photoshop is a good alternative.

altho i shud mention that html is starting to die now. its either xml, css or php. so learning those in the future is recomended.

 

Very simple stuff mat... lear

 

Do you know what any of those are? wtf are you talking about, HTML isnt dying at all. Idiot.

firstly, is there any need for that.

second, html is dying. html is messy, unorganised and lacks fine control. most new sites are coded in xml, css and php. yeah sure, html will always be here, but xml, css and php and other languages are gaining in popularity.

thirdly i kno what they all are. xml aka xhtml allows users to define there own tags meaning less unnuesacary clutter and a better control over the site features, css aka cascading style sheet allows users to have a fine control over their designs and univeralise there fonts, links etc styles throughout the entire site. and php allows code to be executed server side, allowing on the fly editing of files. like a forum for example.

now who is the idiot? get ur facts right mate.

 

Thanks guys for the help I really helped me

Firstly, although XHTML is becoming more popular over standard HTML, the basics are still there and used everywhere - Not dying at all. The only difference between HTML and XHTML is that valid XHTML is stricter in that it requires lower case tags, properly nested tags etc.

Secondly, PHP is NOT taking over HTML/XHTML. PHP is server side code which performs scripts and outputs them to the browser as HTML/XHTML. Djeez...

Thirdly, you are still the idiot who has just proved he does NOT know what he is talking about.

XML = eXtensible Markup Language
XHTML = eXtensible HyperText Markup Language

XHTML is effectively the 'next version' of HTML. XML on the other hand is something COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. It is effectively a way of grabbing information from one site and showing it on another site.

So to conclude, you are still the idiot who needs to get his facts straight. Here is a starting point:

I agree with Sand_Man. Sure HTML is still going to be there but more and more people are starting to use PHP, XHTML, and CSS more over HTML. Used together, those 3 are way more effective since they can all carry out different objectives. Oh and also, you guys forgot about .ASP which is still not used as much but still slowly raising in popularity.

Why don't you guys get along, you both are right. "Idiot"s.

 

Why do you both keep mentioning PHP? Thats completely irrelevant and works perfectly well with XHTML, CSS, HTML...Whatever.

Sure XHTML is starting to take over HTML (although they are so so similiar), but thats not what he said in his original statement.

The combination of XHTML + CSS + PHP is very effective, but the only difference between that and the combination of HTML + CSS + PHP is that XHTML is stricter than HTML, so in the browser it will look identical.

 

Cuz PHP pwnzorz ur azz.

I wasnt saying PHP is a bad thing, otherwise I wouldn't have bothered learning it. I just dont know why SandMan brought it up in his post when PHP is something completely different to HTML, XHTML and CSS.

 

ok, i made a mistake there, but what i seaid in my original post is still true, html is slowly dying out.

 

1) yes it is
2) when you post it into the site, it shows the red x because the images that are sliced and previewed in IR arent hosted
3) about $5

 

HTML won't die for a long time. Why? What does the end result of php send to your web browser? HTML. 4 key letters in XHTML: HTML. Sure, there is more powerful scripting forms, but HTML will always be the root.
