Can anyone recommend an html forum?

[de8212]

I've searched google but I'd like to know if anyone here has first hand experience with a good forum for people learning html.

This one? 😛

Even though I'm advanced in HTML, I still found the forums at http://htmlhelp.org/bbs/ to be able to help me with any tricky problem.

Sounds like you need a tutorial, though. Try searching for "html beginner tutorial" on google.

Also, this forum, like MrChad said, is a great place for getting answers to specific problems.

I am trying to creat a webpage w.Dreamweaver. I added buttons on the left side for navigation. When I preview the page in IE, I the following security warning and the bottons don't show up:

To help protect your security, Internet Explorer has restricted this file from showing active content that could access your computer. Click here for options...

I understand that IE is trying to protect my pc, but If I publish this on the net, is everyone going to get this error and not be able to see my buttons????

What can I do to fix this?

That shouldn't happen online. I've had that odd behavior with SP2 on my computer with pages I made. Ex: I made a gallery page with Python, right clicking a thumbnail makes a security error happen.

You could always learn XHTML instead of just HTML. HTML is very old and may slowly be replaced by newer versions.

It's probably some JavaScript or something that it inserted. Post the code so we can see.

Thanks Armchair

I will upload the files and see how they react.

You mentioned a gallery. I also was going to ask is there a good template or something that I could make a phot gallery to put on my site.
Do you have any tips on that?

Say you have a folder full of pictures and you want to make a gallery online of your pics. Normally writing all the HTML and making the thumbnails is a huge pain, so I made something to automate the process. You give it a directory and click, and you've got your gallery made. Just upload the html file and the pics to your host (easy) and you are done.

I wrote a Python script that does the following:

1) Give it a directory
2) Goes through all files in the directory and places whatever appears to be appropriate pics in a list. Prevents making thumbnails from thumbnails, can also have it ignore small pics like icons
3) Opens a new .html file and starts it correctly with the right XHTML junk at the top
4) For each pic file it found and has in a list, it makes a thumbnail for it and writes the appropriate HTML to insert the thumbnail into the HTML page as a link to the full-size pic
5) Put the write tags at the bottom of the html file to close it, opens the file on your PC to show you what you've got

Works pretty well, I'm working on making a GUI so it's more user-friendly. I'm using a class now instead of a bunch of functions to do this, should make that easier. Maybe when I'm done with that I'll PM you.

sounds pretty cool. Sure if you ever want to share< i'll take a look at it.

Also, if you have all your pics uploaded to a gallery I wouldn't mind looking at it if possible.

I just want to se a few different ways galleries can look and how thumbnails are incorporated.
