Hey Chris, it’s me again. I’ve been thinking about buying my own domain similarly to you (with my last name being the domain name and my primary Web site being first_name.last_name.com) and doing technology based Weblogs. However, I don’t really know PHP, ASP, and the like and am really only proficient in [...]

Many designers won’t give Microsoft’s new (and FrontPage replacement) web designer application a look because of the biases that come with FrontPage. But I tell ya… Microsoft totally started from scratch and created a strong application that designers will respect.

I like how this piece below is presented - straight forward and to the point Rather than showing how to do the basics in a do-it all program like Dreamweaver, they start you right off with the basics.

Even with a pretty firm grasp of coding HTML, understanding how to use CSS with that code is going to save you many of a sleepless night.

FavIcon from Pics I made one of that stick figure grrl with the maple leaf which I use all over my websites and blogs. It’s too small to use but I like how easy it was to do with this site. I’m going to come up with a more usable image.
Favicon is a favourite [...]

The last part of the HTML and XHTML series, at least for now, works its way to CSS so you can control your content’s font type, size, and colors. Plus, the tutorial explains the right way to emphasize content.
Why another HTML intro when many tutorials are available out there on the Web? Most of them [...]

In HTML and XHTML Introduction Part I, we covered HTML files, elements and tags, and document structure. The article explains how to set up a basic HTML page, open and view the page, and add structure to the page.
Part II takes a closer look at tags along with their attributes and values. The “invisible” covers [...]

Even with high-quality Web editor applications, it’s good to know how to do markup. While there are plenty of excellent HTML introduction tutorials out there on the Web, most of them teach with deprecated (obsolete) markup. Knowing about deprecated markup is helpful so you can read the source of older Web pages. But why learn [...]

Not everyone has been exposed to HTML or are even familiar with the terms used with it. Thankfully for them we have resources like this to get them down the right path.

If you are just happening by and have an interest in learning HTML, then you may wish to swing by this site for a little bit of an introduction.

Dave, being a new web developer I would like to know how I can code for a numeric value to decrease by 1 every 24 hours based on the local time function.

Specifically, we are trying to create a reminder for our employees of an upcoming DoD audit in the facility. The count down will [...]

Dave, how do I remove the “white” background color from the Google Adsense Search toolbar since it isn”t a gif or jpg picture as is your “Ask Dave” icon? Thanks!

Dave, I remember reading your book Creating Cool Web HTML 4 Web Pages and seeing a sample about a sub shop where online customers could order sandwiches…
Can you help me find a script that will take FORM information and upon submit, send it directly to a network printer? This is for a local courier service [...]

Dave, I just want to add numbers together, get an answer, and retrieve a document represented by the answer. I have 11 pages for people to answer “yes” or “no” on. I have my “yes” and “no” buttons working properly. What I need to do is assign numerical values to each button on each page. [...]

Dave, I read your HTML primer for bloggers, but I’m confused because on the sites I add comments, I have to use something called bbcode, not HTML. What is bbcode and how do I use it?

Dave, I’ve just started a weblog of my own and am finding that I need to learn a few HTML tags to make my entries as attractive as possible. I’d also like to learn how to link to other sites and other Weblogs, but really haven’t much of a clue other than that HTML has [...]

Dave, an easy question: How do I validate my Web pages and end up with one of those nifty “xhtml 1.0 verified” graphics for my page?

When first getting started with HTML, learning all the ins and outs of the attributes and definitions can be a bit overwhelming. Now rather than throwing in the towel, consider taking a look at this attribute primer instead.

I received this e-mail from a younger reader:
Dave, thanks for your cool book Cool Web sites, but I still need a bit of help. I want to have a little box on my page that shows the person the current date, like you’d see on a day-a-page calendar. I figure you can do that [...]

Dave, I notice that whenever you mention any products on Amazon, your links always go straight to the recommended product and neatly tuck your affiliate link in too. So, do tell, what’s your secret technique?
