Hey, so I am wanting to make a basic intro page sort of thing that will be located at www.auslancer.com as the index page. I've found an alright template but now I just need to get a image in it as the header. Normally I can work stuff out on the templates with my limited knowledge of HTML and CSS coding, but I am having some issues. Is anyone on here able to give me a hand please??
 
I use to be good at web coding but I let it slide when I start hardware, I could get my mate to have a look and help? (use to be head IT guy at his high school whilst still a student)...
 
Nah I need someone that understands CSS and XHTML well, from what limited understanding of divs and assigning classes/id's in CSS I can't get it working.

Skippy, if no-one else comes forward I'll hit you up...
 
Are you willing to show the coding for it? It might help a bit in understanding a bit more in what you mean, I've got an 8hour drive ahead of me, I can give it a shot then if you'd like...

I'm just thinking basically here, if there is a limiter that restricts it to text, hence it won't use an img, if you get what I mean. Otherwise I would my self, remove the header code area, and re-write it to include the image and all that, or just adjust certain parts to make it workable... Really just brain storming here for you.
 
Here is the template and logo....basically where the logo text on the template is I want the image.

Also need to remove that gay green right hand side bar...but pretty sure I can manage that!

Hmmmmmmmm.............. bit out of my depth.... I'm trying, but It's not alligning... which is what I'm guessing is what you're stuck on, from what I can gather, the whole surround/header/sidebar is one image or a linked, now I've been going through it, and I can't see where, it's almost like its on another site or being linked to from within the coding of the template... So when i deleted the sidebar the background dissappeared, but I can't find the background in the coding? I think (not saying im right) that line 13 has something to do with it... since it's <link> Did my best but it's outta my reach and knowledge (and patients) to fix it, sorry. :(
 
Dreamweaver!! I havent touched that in years :lol: I know my way around html but same, have not done it in years. If it was xml though could do it with my eyes closed just about.

Have you tried using a WYSIWYG editor..?
Click to expand...

In the past I have used Microsoft Expressions Web 3...but I found it's coding is far from ideal and alot of the time whilst it works not exactly the best practice way of doing things....

Personally I prefer to play with the exact code and optimize it (these seems to be the best method for templates), might not be the norm for some people but maybe that's just something I've come to do from my engineering experience...


Anyways I've found a neat lil code editor for Linux (just really getting over Windows atm, Windows Live Messenger won't work with Facebook chat properly and everytime I start up my mouse takes 5 mins to register with Windows 7 - something which all my parents computers are doing, so nice bug there Microsoft) called Bluefish Editor and have worked out the issue...in the style sheet there was a class of attributes being assigned globally to the <img> so I've removed that and made my own img.logo class! So yeah that's that issue sorted! Now to work on the body...
 
Hyper Text Markup Language and Cascading Style Sheets, HTML was around since forever, CSS is a 'newer' technique for assigning all the presentational attributes of a HTML file in a CSS file. The idea is it speeds up web page rendering, improves document consistency of styles and makes formatting changes simpler.... I learn't HTML at school so know the basics well, but I never learnt anything about CSS, so it's a bit of a leap for me trying to reverse engineer this template :lol:

Also skippy I found out why the green wouldn't go away :p It's in a background image slither that's repeated down the page....painted the green white with the trusty old GIMP! Now just need to sort out some text sizing and colours but otherwise she is coming along very nicely! :D
 
Hey.
Don't know if you got this worked out but hope this helps you.
The green sidebar is actually an image 1px width repeated located in images/content.jpg.
The Image just use the <img src> tag in index.htm
Use photoshop or something to make the image background transparent if you need to.

Hope this helps you give me a yell if not.
 
Yeah I can check it out for you, I used to design many websites back in the day. Not so much anymore, but can still do it no problem. PM me the details for what you want done and I'll take a look.
 
Cheers for the offers guys but I did end up sorting it all out....and now I understand CSS somewhat lol!
