  1. If you're using XHTML, be sure to close the meta tags with a / at the end of each tag, like this example: <meta name="robots" content="noindex, nofollow" />If having web compliant HTML or XHTML is important to you, also make sure you declare a DOCTYPE in the <html> tag.
  2. I read an article saying how XML has failed miserably on the web. I guess it will be a whie before XML can replace XHTML or HTML.
  3. I make sure to test out my webpages in both Mozilla Firefox and Microsoft Internet Explorer. I use Adobe Photoshpo and Adobe ImageReady to create graphics and animation, and I use Notepad+ to code my webpages.I would try out other web designing programs if I had the money to pay for them.
  4. HTML is simply a way of putting information on a webpage and deciding how it should be placed and displayed, so, HTML can be learned quite easily with just a few tutorials. I started learning about HTML at http://www.lissaexplains.com/ . After wanting to learn more, I found http://www.w3schools.com/ . After becoming obsessed with CSS and styling HTML with CSS, I went to sites such as http://www.htmldog.com/, http://simplebits.com/, http://alistapart.com/, and http://www.csszengarden.com/ .
  5. You should use CSS to change your background color. In the header of your webpage, all you need is this code: <style type="text/css">body {background:#342c23}</style>
  6. Flash wil supposedly replace most modern methods of webpage design, meaning my CSS and XHTML days will end if Flash is suddenly the new standard for making webpages.
  7. Besides php.net, I don't know of any other good resources for which to learn php. I guess I should get books on how to learn php, but most programming books are expensive.
  8. If I knew how to use Linux, then I would, but I would still run into the hassles of finding Linux equivalents of Windows programs.
  9. I always use SHIFT+DEL as cut and SHIFT+INS as paste. CTRL Y is sometimes "redo." Also, I've found that if there's something going wrong with the keys (e.g., the buttons don't seem to work), pressing CTRL+ALT+SHIFT sometimes helps.
  10. I'm not sure; you can go to http://www.hotscripts.com/ to try and find a cPanel alternative, however.
  11. Wow, that's a nice little trick! I definitely want to try that!
  12. Windows is more problematic simply because the operating system is not open source, meaning only Microsoft can look at and correct its own mistakes.The laptops my college gives out to its students runs on Fedora Core. Well, both Linux Fedora Core and Windows XP Professional are on each laptop.
  13. AMD and Intel both have their strengths and weaknesses, but if I remember correctly, AMD performs better on visual performance and real-time processing, whereas Intel performs better at allowing multiple programs to run at the same time.
  14. My college has wireless network connections all over the place, which makes having a laptop very convenient.Some of the wireless connections are on secure networks, however, meaning that in order to access that wireless network, you would have to have to know some type of security code or password.
  15. I don't like making animations with Adobe ImageReady. In order to do so, you have to make multiple layers and hide and show specific layers in each frame.
  16. cPanel is an excellent program for webmasters. cPanel makes webhosting easy and allows the webmaster to focus on more important things, such as building webpages and expanding content, rather than figuring out how to do something that cPanel could do for you in less time.
  17. There are many ways to go about making your computer faster. One would be to give your computer more RAM; another would be to eliminate useless programs that start up when Windows starts, and yet another would be to clean out the computer of files and defragmenting them.

    MySQL

    Most people don't delve too deeply into MySQL, or at least I don't. I just know that it's a database that many PHP scripts use. Whenever you want to run a script like WordPress or Phpbb, then make sure you have a MySQL database to run it.Also, if more than one script requires a database, then you can have them all use the same database by adding different prefixes on each file to separate which files in the database belong to which script.
  19. All I know about Windows Longhorn is that its tentative release is in late 2006 and that Internet Explorer 7 will most likely come out before the new version of Windows does.
  20. Those sound more like XHTML rules. XML is a bit more strict than XHTML. XHTML is more like HTML in that it will still display content even if the coding is incorrect. If any syntax is wrong with an XML document, it will not display at all. Also, XML must have an XSL stylesheet in order for XML to be displayed.
  21. The PNG format more often than not compresses better than the GIF format. PNG also supports alpha transparency. GIF only supports index transparency. Alpha transparency is useful because it allows varying levels of transparency, allowing images to be more or less opaque.Mozilla Firefox has full PNG support, but Internet Explorer only supports PNG's index transparency. Internet Explorer 7 will supposedly have full PNG support when it comes out.
  22. If you know your HTML and CSS well, you can create a stunning website without the need of a fancy HTML editor. If you don't mind making all the code yourself, you can just use Notepad.
  23. I have yet to learn about XML. When I first started web designing, I didn't worry about the HTML DOCTYPEs, but then I decided that it was better to conform to the W3C standard so that my website would be compatible with more browsers and viewable by more people.Right now, I use XHTML 1.1, but I might move to XHTML 2.0 soon. I'm not sure when I'll make the move to use XML.
