A LITTLE HTML ------------- If we try getting the cats site up page by page, maybe that's the best way to learn. I notice that you have uploaded the skeleton site, how did you get on with creating some new pages? With what I have written below see if you can research and do the Kittens page then we can discuss what you did. Don't worry about images for the moment. A typical page is split into three columns and the footer (which isn't often used). To put content in say column 2 click Edit + Col2. You should see another window come up with some stuff at the top that controls the summary. Try typing something below that and then click the Save button, now click the Back button and your changes will be in the page. You could do the same for col3 and col1. We don't touch col1 much since the clickboard is in it. In your windows taskbar you should see an entry '+2 Cat - Netscape' click that and it takes you back to the other window so you can add more text. Now try copying what's below (down to --end--) and pasting it in, do you remember using the CTRL+C and the CTRL+V keys for copy and paste (please ask if you don't get this, it's important):- This is paragraph 1<P> This is paragraph 2<BR><BR> <B>This is bold</B><BR> <I>This is italic</I> back to normal now<BR> <U>This is underlined</U><P> <FONT SIZE="4">This is font size 4</FONT><P> <FONT COLOR="red">This is red text</FONT><P> <FONT FACE="times new roman">This is roman font text</FONT><P> <A HREF="Kittens.htm">This is a clickable link to the Kittens page</A><P> <CENTER>This is centered text</CENTER><P> <B><U><I><FONT FACE="times new roman" COLOR="red" SIZE="4">This is big red roman text</FONT></B></U></I><P> --end-- So you can see the different ways of doing text and paragraphs. <BR> stand for 'Break' or new line. You can see all the different colour names by doing Plexel Load + HtmlColors. This is basic HTML, it's not that difficult, just a coded method of displaying text, fonts, links and images really. You can combine the above features to make all sorts of combinations but notice how the end tags like </B> etc all nest each other logically. So it is correct to have this:- <B><U>This is bold underline</U></B><BR> But not this (although it still might work):- <B><U>This is bold underline</B></U><BR> Also, HTML ignores ordinary line breaks so that:- This text has a line break but HTML won't use it you have to use <BR> or <P> to get one. Copy and Paste -------------- First highlight the text. CTRL+C Copy to windows clipboard CTRL+V Paste clipboard CTRL+X Cut to clipboard CTRL+Z Undo ABOUT SPACES IN HTML -------------------- &nbsp; always forces a space to be printed in HTML because multiple spaces are printed as one space unless you use &nbsp; for example:- Hello this is about three spaces will appear on the page as:- Hello this is about three spaces but Hello&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;this is about three spaces and Hello &nbsp; this is about three spaces will usually appear on the page as:- Hello this is about three spaces Site written by John Middlemas
