thanks alot! but i have a new query. im using dreamweaver and i downloaded a template and i can see how theres a like an index on the leffthand side of the template to go to other pages on my website. can someone please explain how to when someone clicks on those links to go to another page on my website. it would be helpful if you told me how to do it using dreamweaver! thanks alot guys.
Your First query :
I personaly think its not really good to use <body> to put your bg in it :/ why ? because its always better to use a style.css instead ! youll see once you coded your site style.css will be cool.
So create a new .css document... well go to notepade and than save as .css mostlikely style.css
once done put this into it :
(modify the image name and filetype)
ofcourse other atributes can be added... such as color, paddings.. margin..
Once saved
put this style.css next to your HTML pages and inside ALL your html pages between the <head> </head> tag add this line of code :
Your second query :
this is a link code :
so when you clic on this "Google Web Site it sends you to google.com. Simple ?
well you can than if you want add a target...
so lets say you want to have a link to open in a new window you just add the target="_blank" so :
you can put a iframe as a target.. as target="blabla" so lets say you had a :
inside a corner of your website... well once you clic on Google Web Site it will traget your google page inside the 400x400 iframe on the corner of your site
you can add many things with a href

Hello,
Although both of your questions have been answered very well by MrTouz and EMOruffino, I thought this post would help. Some very good tutorials that will get you started in HTML can be found at www.W3schools.com. That is where I started out, and even today when I get a little brain dead, I still refer to that site Check it out sometime!

W3schools.com is a really good site, I would also recommend checking up on HTMLDog at http://htmldog.com/
