HTML help!

[Johnney5]

Hopefully someone can help me...

I need to know how to make sorta like a table, that has a scrollbar. So, you can put a bunch of stuff in the table, in a fixed space, and read what's in it via the scrollbar, without scrolling the page.

did that make sense? Help!

[phism]

how about <.textarea>textblahblahtextblahblahblah<./textarea>

[pixi]

can't u use frames for that?

[Sleepy Introvert Ninja]

<font size="3" face="System, Small Fonts" color="#400040">
Frames are dead.
You can try a java
version of it but..
</font>

[kamenriderv3]

There's a way to make the scroll thing but it would only be a list instead of a table.

[shoegaze]

scrollbar?!? how about real bar! ..with drinks ! no wait! and ice cream bar!!! yea, that's tha ticket!

did you get my email?

by the way, yea i do have too much time on my hands, but glad you liked the brat clothing image.. haha.. i should track down that girl and set you two kids up.. hmm.. which highschool do you spoze she attends? haha! ..kidding.

anyway, like i said, you can do i-frames or javascript scrolling to get your desired effect..

html peeps i need your help, por favor. . .


so i've built my online portfolio but there are some strange things happening that i can't figure out for the life of me what is up.

i have basically 3 pages built, the portfolio home (est00.com/portfolio/portfolio.html), and links to the 2 diff sections- corporate & freelance work; which are both pages that have frames in them (and also a resume pop-up link which works fine).

now problems arise when i click onto a certain section (either freelance or corporate) and view a piece and then click back to the portfolio home page (link on btm left). you'll notice that the link in the address bar will not change back to the portfolio home page, and the piece last viewed will stay in the frame rendering the online portfolio 'frozen'

wtf?!?!

[cordani]

i need to bring it higher up

[slackerbot]

change the target..

target="_self"

^^ this is wrong. because it will load the portfolio page into the left frame. change the target to parent instead.

say, would anybody happen to know if the <abbr> tag is still supported?

i guess it works by displaying the complete word when rolling over acronyms?

hrm...doesn't work in mozilla on mac.

got another question, is it good practice to close off a tag (with no end tag) with a forward slash?

for example:

<hr> is okay.

<hr /> is better.

[slackerbot]

fuck that. just create your entire web page as a jpg image and you won't have to worry about this stuff. :D

[atomicscissors]

Try rebooting.

Yes, because <hr> won't validate fully because it won't see a closing tag.

HTML is the new HTML5 (http://blog.whatwg.org/html-is-the-new-html5)

In 2009 we announced that the HTML5 specification at the WHATWG was progressing to Last Call. The plan at the time was to finish the specification this year and publish a snapshot of "HTML5" in 2012. However, shortly after that we realised that the demand for new features in HTML remained high, and so we would have to continue maintaining HTML and adding features to it before we could call "HTML5" complete, and as a result we moved to a new development model, where the technology is not versioned and instead we just have a living document that defines the technology as it evolves.

As there is still interest in publishing a snapshot of HTML5, the W3C is still working on that (in conjunction with the WHATWG).

Because the specification is now a living document, we are today announcing two changes:

1. The HTML specification will henceforth just be known as "HTML", with the URL http://whatwg.org/html. (We will also continue to maintain the Web Applications 1.0 specification that contains HTML and a number of related APIs like Web Storage, Web Workers, and Server-Sent Events.)
2. The WHATWG HTML spec can now be considered a "living standard". It's more mature than any version of the HTML specification to date, so it made no sense for us to keep referring to it as merely a draft. We will no longer be following the "snapshot" model of spec development, with the occasional "call for comments", "call for implementations", and so forth.

In practice, the WHATWG has basically been operating like this for years, and indeed we were going to change the name last year but ended up deciding to wait a bit since people still used the term "HTML5" a lot. However, the term is now basically being used to mean anything Web-standards-related, so it's time to move on!

so, i learned how to do a definition list, and couldn't imagine a real world use for it, until I came across this page, and then it all made sense.

Dreamweaver seems like a pretty decent text editor. You guys have any thoughts on it?

You have a favorite text editor for HTML, CSS and JS?

eMacs seems sort of over-kill.

[puppy fields]

anybody use coda? like it?

seems like a pretty good tool.

[puppy fields]

you guys have a favorite app to collect code snippets with?

[puppy fields]

Why is XHTML syntax so widely used in web pages where the mime type is set to text/html?

This HTML5 specification is like no other—It has been processed with you, the humble web developer, in mind.
