Making my own html page

by MrMega July 24th 2009, 5:46 pm

I'm making an html page, but it's not turning out great, I need desperate assistance...

Questions:

1. What's HTML for inserting a background image?
2. How do you change the font? Like Arial, Verdana, etc.?
3. One more thing: How do you make a list and dots with html? (like this:)

Code:: [list] [*]text here [*]text here [/list]

Code:: <body style="background-image:url(http://i41.tinypic.com/28auvzp.png);background-attachment:fixed;"></body>

for the body background... edit the url(); with your background image link.

Code:: <span style="font-family: Segoe Print, Century Gothic, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: #ffffff; size: 2px;"><font color="blue" size="3"></span>

for the font... to add moree fonts, add the font titles after ="font-family: following with a comma.

Code:: <ul><li> <li> <li> </ul>

for the list... or you could just use • (ALT + 7)

Wow thanks Rok! XD

Oh and by the way..how do you insert an image? I tried:

Making my own html page Link

and

<img>link</img>

doesn't work

by Rok July 24th 2009, 6:12 pm

Code:: <img src="LINK TO IMAGE">

Anything else?

Also, to make an image link to somewhere:

Code:: <a href="LINK" target="_blank" title="TITLE OF PAGE"><img src="LINK TO IMAGE" border="0"></a>

The border="0" will remove the linked image's annoying border.

Umm...nothing so far. A big thanks, man! When I create the HTML page then I'll mark as solved.

EDIT: How do you align something to the right?

by Rok July 24th 2009, 6:14 pm

I edit out the previous post with some more information. Very Happy

by MrMega July 24th 2009, 6:25 pm

Edited my previous post.

by Rok July 24th 2009, 6:27 pm

Code:: <div align="right"> BLAH BLAH </div>

You can change the position ="right"> to 'left' or 'center'.

Done! Not trying to spam, but Rok, do you think I can spice it up a little somehow...?

Spoiler:

I know it's missing a banner (in request now) and a link to the main forum (I'll do it after the banner's done), but how do you like it now?

by Rok July 24th 2009, 6:36 pm

I think you should try changing the font from Arial (or whatever it is) to Century Gothic or something more appealing.

I don't know if we are allowed to discuss ideas about users' sites, so I'm sorry if it's not allowed.

by MrMega July 24th 2009, 6:37 pm

Then we'll move this into a PM discussion Wink

Alright changing now....

Oh yeah, how do you just change the font? You gave me a font family code, and...

by Rok July 24th 2009, 6:45 pm

You just add the title of the font as the first font in the line. You seperate them with commas.
For instance, if a user doesn't have the first font downloaded on their computer, then they can't see it, but they'll see the next font that's in line. So if you have something like the trashco font as first on the list, not many users will have it downloaded because it's a font you must download- it's not a font that's installed automatically and defaultly on your computer. So, if you have Century Gothic (which almost every single computer has downloaded) after trascho, Century Gothic will appear instead of trascho. So forth, so on. Wink

Ok, I switched but still the font is still the same. I know I have Century Gothic though...

by Rok July 24th 2009, 6:50 pm

Have the code set up like this:

Code:: <span style="font-family: Century Gothic, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: #ffffff; size: 2px;"><font color="blue" size="3"></span> AND PLACE EVERYTHING ELSE IN THE CENTER..... </span>

by MrMega July 24th 2009, 6:52 pm

Ok got it. Another thing:

In forum & category making, in a forum's title, how do you make it so when you click on the forum it leads you to another link?

I tried <url=link<text</url> but nothin

by Rok July 24th 2009, 7:00 pm

Code:: <a href="LINK" target="_blank" title="TITLE OF PAGE TO LINK">text here</a>

You can remove the ' target="_blank"' part from the code if you don't want the page to pop up in a new window. Wink

Thanks...still waiting for my banner....

by Rok July 24th 2009, 7:08 pm

Alright; if you need any non-support suggestions, you can just shoot me a PM. Wink

by MrMega July 24th 2009, 7:15 pm

Ok now how do you make it so you click on text and it links you to somewhere?

Sorry about all these questions, I'm newbie at HTML but master at bbcode.
