Dude, you need to seriously read up on the HTML standard before asking questions. You can't write in a language you don't understand. A div is just an invisible container, a separate body containing its own HTML code.

It displays it in a "cell" because you're putting it into an input box (hence the INPUT tag), i.e. a text box. If you want to do it another way without writing IE-specific code (do not use iframes, innerHTML properties, and so on), you'll have to write code that's a little more complex. I wouldn't recommend this, you're better off just stylizing the text box.

Why would you want a clock anyway? Most people have clocks on their computers already, don't put extraneous stuff on the page for show.

I'm experimenting and shit. It's not like my site really has much content to start with.

I don't have time to read into HTML so much, and I tend to learn slow off stupid tutorials. I do better when I'm shown, but whatever, I'm trying.

This shit takes time man, that's all I'm saying. And it's very confusing in many ways.

So how can I change the tag into a normal tag or whatever?

holy I hate this

it seems that all the ideas of stuff to put on my website are coming from other peoples' websites, either consciously or unconsciously. It sucks, cuz I want a neato site, but I don't want to go copying other people's ideas.

this sucks big time

I'm not following you - why are you so anxious to make a site if you have no content to put on it?

Well, ok, but then you should probably take a class or something... trust me, reading a book will save a lot more time in the long run than having to ask someone else every time you have a hitch.

Not nearly that simple. I don't have time to explain that and write scripts, I would suggest you look up those kinds of scripts on the 'net.

I've always wanted to have on tho, so.

Well I am putting photography and graphix work I do on it, so that is some content I guess.

This is my justification: do you think this site has a real purpose? It's utterly retarded.

45% of people (all over the world) still use 800 x 600. I know this, i'm a Web Development student, hehe.

thanks for the forum suggestions, now I can stop polluting these boards with stupid web development problems that are pretty much out of place

Originally posted by Echo of Silence My problem in dreamweaver is controlling the width of a column. If I want a column to be 25% the width of a table or say 200 pixels, why when I view it in Netscape is it suddenly 50% the width of the table or say 500 pixels sometimes forcing my table off the page despite the fact that the table is set to be 85% the width of the page? I haven't had time to read up on this. Do you know what I'm doing wrong?

I'm confused what you mean by "column" - tables don't have columns in the markup, they have rows and cells; columns are rendered after.

As most people on support forums will say: post your code.

Aside from advocating the use of stylesheets here, I can't really tell anything from what's there. Have to see the code for the whole table, not just the td.

Yeah, like that, but instead of -1 for the size, make it 12px or whatever the actual size is you want it to be (that way, lusers can't fuck up the display by using stupid fonts/sizes).

P.S. Noticing your XML-style closing tags, heh, I don't think they'll ever make that standard in HTML (can't be bothered to do it myself).
