BS: HTML Practice - please ignore!

Subject: HTML Practice - please ignore!
From: Catrin

well - my firstr efforts - I have copied and pasted this from notepad - let's just see

THIS SHOULD BE A CENTRED HEADING



This is a simple paragraph - learning to do webpage design. the beginning should be automatically indented. The browser ignores white space. Creating paragraphs in HTML should be easy and should be a good way to make webpages.



THIS SHOULD BE A CENTERED HEADING


followed by a dividing line



This should be italic

This should be bold

This should be underlined

This should be all three

This should be all three and centered.



centered and header number six



centered and header number four



centered and header number two



centered and header number one




LISTS



    one element two elements three elements


    one element two elements three elements

Prohibited tags removed - "body," "html," and some other stuff. Please don't use tags if you don't understand what they do.

Catrin, to do the "e-mail me" thing, the link looks like:
<a href=mailto:me@somewhere.com>Email me</a>

For the lists, I'm not sure, but I suspect you still need line breaks. (<br>)

Oh, by the way, if you want to practice without being connected to the internet or Mudcat, you can save the Notepad file as HTML.
In the bottom block, change the "Save as type" from "Text" to "all files (*.*).
Give the document a title with a .html extension and save. You can then double click on it, and it should open as a web page.
If it still display as text, type <html> at the very beginning of the page, and </html> at the bottom.

Thanks Jeri!!!

I was wondering how people 'previewed' notepad before going on the net with it all! Saves me going public with my learning curve (not a pretty sight!)*BG*

Oh the joys of learning HTML!

The private practice takes less time effort than posting here, but doing it here helps other people learn too.

Even though you save the Notepad file as HTML, you can still edit it in Notepad. If you have it open in Notepad AND in your browser, you can edit, save the changes, then refresh your browser to see how the changes worked.

If you want your email clicky to be dead clever, try this:

"mailto:email@whoever.co.uk ?subject=This puts a default into the subject box!" title="This gives you a little pop-up box, too!">Click here, etc...

If in doubt, go to my website and save the page, then look at how I've done it there. We all learn best by pinching other people's ideas and playing with them!

I use Notepad, too. It doesn't change things when it thinks you aren't looking! To save a little messing, I set up a shortcut to the file I'm editing which has:

C:\WINDOWS\NOTEPAD.EXE (filename).html

as its 'Target', and

C:\(folder name)

as its 'Start in'...

Leave out the brackets, and insert the correct filename and folder name, of course...!!

If the file doesn't already exist, it will create it for you... as long as the folder exists.

Remember that all filenames and extensions should be in lowercase - your FTP utility should shout at you if you forget, if it's any good!

Bernard,
the subject, title (and body) part are not standard, but browser dependent.
Catrin, for the lists, replace <l1> (el one) and <l3> (el three) by <li> (el iii) and it should work.

Beautiful dog!

What was the html that made little descriptions pop upfor links, sortof like ALT for IMG SRC, but for A HREF?

It was in an old html thread, but I forgot to save the thing, and it's been deleted.

Thanks.

From: hesperis

Thanks for trying, but that's not it. I actually meant the little yellow-background text box that comes up when your mouse hovers over an image that has an ALT tag attached to it. There is a command that makes that happen for a plain text link, as well, but I've forgotten it. I'm actually pretty good at basic html. Maybe it's a javascript command?

It is something like <A HREF="www.whatever.com" [some kind of code here]="a bunch of text that will show up when the mouse hovers over the link">THE CLICKY</A>

Thanks. (Hope I got the "less than" and "greater than" in the right order.)

Whether this really pops up a tooltip depends on browser and system, but it works in IE - it does not on NS4.7 or Opera 4.

Nah... mail is a mailto command... I think it's mailto:youraddress@youremailserver.whatever, dressed up like a normal hyperlink using that instead of the http address.

I might be wrong though... Dreamweaver's spoiled me, and I haven't handcoded anywhere but here for the last few years.

Subject: RE: BS: HTML Practice - please ignore!
From: wysiwyg

To websites, yeah, but e-mail?

The reality is, for a variety of reasons, I get treated differently here, and not just by stinky poopers. I've decided to just deal with that, in practical ways.

Here's the concern I am concerned about, and I will say it here knowing some of the site volunteers check these HTML threads from time to time and thus may see it while stinky poopers may not. A couple of the flamers and some others as well have made remarks to me offForum that I am trying to build some kind of power base. I'm not. I just prefer that some things go offCat to discuss confidentially.

A lot of people write me privately about tough stuff they are dealing with. It's been cumbersome each time this realtionship begins-- PMs till I get through to them that it has to be e-mail for it to work for me. I want to make it easier for that contact to occur as well as make it get to e-mail from the beginning.

I also want to do what I can to limit the potential for the off-topic stuff to get out of hand and the flames begin again. If people can just click to me when they get hot, or when they want to plunge into a talk about God, instead of posting something that will cause trubble... If the click is as easy as posting... And I don't like PMs, at all, anymore. First, when I get fed up with Mudcat and take a break, I don't like to leave a PM hanging that may have been time-sensitive, and I don't like having to come check PM's when Mudcat has made my blood boil. Also, no file saving easily, no original message attached-- I write to too many people now to remember exactly what I said or they said last.

So it's a practical thing, after a lot of thought and talking with people I respect who also have been flamebait. But I think it may seem to some like I am trying to draw people off Mudcat, and except for the one or two confessed addictees-- who asked to have some help cutting back-- that ain't so. But those feelings are part of what is out there that I have decided to deal with as a reality.

Opinions welcome, since I asked, here for all to wrangle or in e-mail.

Subject: PM's versus Email...
From: Bernard

Wys - I know what you mean.

Email will get to me without my having to look for it, and PM's depend entirely on being able to access Mudcat, which is not always convenient.

If I'm at work, I can leave my laptop picking up mail whilst I get on with something else. I can then quickly scan through the headers to find out which mail needs urgent attention, and which can wait until I have more time.

When I arrive home (or when I get up in the morning) I leave my 'modem' computer picking up mail whilst preparing a meal.

I wonder if Max has considered the possibility of automatically generating an email to notify members that they have PM's waiting, and from whom?


26 Jan 01 - 03:14 PM (#383267)
Subject: RE: BS: HTML Practice - please ignore!
From: Mary in Kentucky

Bernard, I feel differently.

My email is so filled with spam, I don't check it everyday. Then when I do, I usually delete anything from someone I don't recognize. You can see where I would easily delete something from a Mudcatter.

With the PM's, on the other hand, I see the notification as soon as I log onto Mudcat (which is more often than checking my email.) The only drawback to a PM is that I cannot send an attached file (text, picture, or midi.)

Besides, I like to keep all my Mudcat correspondence in one place. I try to file Mudcat emails together, but they're obviously not with my PM's.

Subject: RE: BS: HTML Practice - please ignore!
From: Jon Freeman

Debates in an HTML thread....! I am with Bernard on this one and find email far more convenient. Another great advantage of email for me is that it makes responding to a larger message so much easier - all the original text gets carried over with the reply - I don't have to keep checking back to remind myself what I am replying to and I can quote and answer questions/ pass comment that way - much quicker. OK, one can (and I sometimes do) copy and paste a PM into my reply for these reasons but I find it a lot harder work than using email.

So Jon, do you see any problem with my doing it as a link from posts, like that? Technically or among the Powers That Be? And what if lots of people did it, would it present any problem for Mudcat?

(Not a debate-- just people giving me the feedback I asked for before I proceed. Yes, from time to time, I do actually ASK before jumping!)

Subject: RE: BS: HTML Practice - please ignore!
From: Jon Freeman

Praise, speaking personally, I see nothing wrong with the idea. In fact some people give links to home pages or websites in posts. This is more common in newsgroups than in here but it is considered to be acceptable practice.

Technically, you are only talking a few extra charcters and I can see no probem there. Wearing my JoeClone hat, I hope you (and anyone else) is careful - I wouldn't want to have lots of threads to fix because of mistakes in email addresses and you have to consider what happens if you change email addresses - I can't see any of us going back to perform an update!

Ultimatey, everything here is down to Max but I would be inclined to suggest that you just try it.

27 Jan 01 - 10:24 AM (#383622)
Subject: RE: BS: HTML Practice - please ignore!
From: Bernard

Mary - didn't you realise you can set up 'rules' for email? PM me if you didn't know and would like some help.

How it works:
As email arrives, it is automatically filtered according to rules into folders you've set up specifically for the purpose. Okay, the first time someone sends you an email it won't necessarily get filtered...

It can be used to redirect some spam straight into your 'deleted' folder. The 'ugly' spam normally has XXX somewhere in it, to indicate that it is so-called 'adult' content. All you do is ask the rules to find 'XXX' and move it from your 'inbox' to the 'deleted' folder, and you never have to see it! Have your 'deleted' folder automatically empty itself when you shut down, and the job's a good 'un!

I have a folder called 'Mudcat Mail', with subfolders for people who mail me regularly. I also have folders for all my other friends - and it is regularly backed up to CD Rom. This way I can keep all my friends' mail withou cluttering my hard drive.

As I use email a lot at work, I'm logging in over a dozen times a day; I log in fairly frequently at home, too. Mudcat is something needing time devoted to it, which I can't usually find at work, so it tends to be in the evening that I look through for any new postings.

'Each to their own', as somebody once said!!


27 Jan 01 - 10:45 AM (#383625)
Subject: RE: BS: HTML Practice - please ignore!
From: Mary in Kentucky

Bernard, I've just never bothered to filter the email. I guess I'm still afraid I'll miss something. I probably should block out all the $$$, haven't had much problem with XXX. I get too many jokes from well-meaning friends and acquaintances. If I don't check my mail for two days, I'll have over one hundred messages. I just don't have the heart to tell people to stop sending crap. I really appreciate it when friends put an identifying name in the subject line so I know whether to open or ignore promptly.

One question: I recently changed to Outlook Express and I noticed that it opens a message automatically. Can I get a virus this way, or do I have to open an attachment that's not a text file to get a virus?


27 Jan 01 - 11:01 AM (#383629)
Subject: RE: BS: HTML Practice - please ignore!
From: Bernard

BTW on the subject of emails, and changes of address - I'm covered!

I registered my own name as my Domain Name, and all my email is sent to my 'fictitious' email address. It is then redirected to my 'real' email address, whatever that may be at the time - at the moment, Freeserve. If I change service provider, I just change the redirection filter.


27 Jan 01 - 11:11 AM (#383630)
Subject: RE: BS: HTML Practice - please ignore!
From: Bernard

Mary - the virus is normally contained in an attachment, and you can delete suspect mail before it does damage.

You can also change the way Outlook views mail so that it isn't opened automatically. Go into 'View' and uncheck 'Preview Pane'. Now you only see the headers.

Outlook Express is similar, but more fiddly... 'View' - 'Layout' - then uncheck 'Preview Pane'.

Hope that's of some help!

Got it! I just noticed that last night I was missing attachments. (I thought my uncle was forgetting to put them in. ) In Outlook Express, I have to click on the line above, not in the message.


27 Jan 01 - 11:27 AM (#383639)
Subject: RE: BS: HTML Practice - please ignore!
From: Bernard

I've never been able to work out why Outlook Express and Outlook are so completely different!

Not only do they work differently, but the file formats are completely at odds, and the address books are separate.

It's all part of a cunning plot...

I use Outlook at home, and Express at work. Keeping the two synchronised was such a waste of time that I gave up. Instead, I pick up the same emails on both systems - 'leave messages on server for 7 days'...

Good old MicroShaft!!

They are roughly categorized; I couldn't decide if "Smartass titles" needed to be a category of its own.

Enter the term after the dot carefully- html or htm. Also some Urls do not use the www. I make errors on these occasionally because I don't check. Sometimes a page cannot be clicked to. Back off and use the index or home page and give directions to get the exact page. The "click here" part can be descriptive. I generally put in a key word.

I want to underline that word.

I want to strike that word.

These words should be too small to read.

I'm not sure what this is meant to do.

The Galway Girl (Steve Earle)

Intro:

D D

Verse 1:

D Well, I took a stroll on the old long walk

G Of a day -I-ay-I-ay

D I met a little girl and we stopped to talk

Of a fine soft day -I-ay-I-ay

G D G D And I ask you, friend, what's a fella to do

A G G D 'Cause her hair was black and her eyes were blue

G D G D And I knew right then I'd be takin' a whirl

A G G D 'Round the Salthill Prom with a Galway girl

Bridge:

D G D G D G D A D

Verse 2:

D We were halfway there when the rain came down

G Of a day -I-ay-I-ay

D And she asked me up to her flat downtown

G D Of a fine soft day -I-ay-I-ay

G D G D And I ask you, friend, what's a fella to do

A G G D 'Cause her hair was black and her eyes were blue

G D G D So I took her hand and I gave her a twirl

A G G D And I lost my heart to a Galway girl

BRIDGE (2X)

Verse 3:

D G When I woke up I was all alone

D G D With a broken heart and a ticket home

G D G D And I ask you now, tell me what would you do

A G G D If her hair was black and her eyes were blue

G D G D I've traveled around I've been all over this world

A G G D Boys I ain't never seen nothin' like a Galway girl

BRIDGE (3X)

font and color are separate words; you merely lacked a space between:

Or you can try all this without being "online".

Just use a text editor (notepad), save your stuff as test.htm or test.html and view it in your browser (just refreshing in browser after saving edited stuff).
