[11:58]<xufcxzys>If I have just "<form method=post>" the "action tag defaults to the current page, however when I run my html through a validator it says that my <form> tag needs to have an action element. How do I add an action element so that it will always go to whatever page the user is on?
[11:59]<mygy2jv>XulChris: action isn't called a "tag", it's called an "attribute".
[12:20]<nrvym>can u put a border image?
[12:21]<nrvym>using css
[12:21]<znysyj>an image used as a border?
[12:21]<znysyj>you can use background images placed where you like
[12:21]<znysyj>border images aren't really implemented in anything but Safari yet, iirc
[12:23]<nrvym>so i can just use background image instead? :O
[12:23]<20rv>Are you asking if you're allowed to?
[12:23]<20rv>No, you're not.
[12:23]<znysyj>background image is the way to go
[12:24]<nrvym>lol @ b0at
[12:38]<nrvym>if i wanna make a table cell smaller do i add teh width="" inside the <Tr> or <td>....
[12:39]<znysyj>td is the cell
[12:39]<znysyj>tr is the row
[12:39]<nrvym>nothing changes.
[12:40]<znysyj>far out
[12:40]<nrvym>no i mean in my code.
[12:42]<znysyj>I know
[12:50]<wzyvnznss>tables rock!
[12:51]<znysyj>Writeress: don't :/
[12:59]<wzyvnznss>just to satisfy you god damn flash bashers...
[12:59]<wzyvnznss>ahh nevermind
[13:04]<nrvym>http://gamecraftx.com/templates/def/index.php i just need to move that pic in the lef navigation a little to the right
[13:04]<nrvym>and im clueless on how to do it
[13:05]<znysyj>`doctype html @ Navid
[13:05]<rtfs>Navid, doctype html: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
[13:05]<znysyj>`tableless @ Navid
[13:05]<rtfs>Navid, tableless: http://xrl.us/jx7f , http://xrl.us/iawr
[13:06]<nrvym>if not table how do you make a layout then? every layout needs a table
[13:06]<znysyj>read the links
[13:06]<znysyj>CSS :)
[13:07]<nrvym>making entire layouts in css?
[13:07]<nrvym>not possible
[13:07]<znysyj>it is :)
[13:07]<znysyj>http://csszengarden.com/
[13:15]<nrvym>seems so complicated
[13:15]<znysyj>it's not :)
[13:15]<znysyj>just takes some getting used to
[13:17]<znm2frmns>Hi, does frontpage support using external CSS Pages?
[13:18]<znm2frmns>I don't use it, but the person whose website I'm designing has some odd setup that requires that they use Frontpage to upload the pages.
[13:18]<20rv>Does it support HTML? If so, then yes.
[13:19]<nrvym>so, everything is set using x and y values?
[13:22]<znysyj>Navid: if necessary
[13:22]<nrvym>it seems that way
[13:22]<nrvym>hm
[13:23]<znm2frmns>Okay, cool
[13:31]<nrvym>are margins like absolute position
[13:31]<myryvjc>huh
[13:32]<nrvym>margins are similar to css absolut positioning?
[13:33]<myryvjc>margins have nothing to do with positioning
[13:33]<myryvjc>if you're wanting to alter the position with absolute, use top: and left:
[13:33]<myryvjc>if that's what you meant
[13:33]<nrvym>what are margins for
[13:33]<znysyj>Navid: you can use margins to help position things, yes
[13:34]<myryvjc>but not specifically with absolute positioning
[13:34]<myryvjc>margins are to force space around an object
[13:34]<myryvjc>example would be if you were making a heading and wanted space under it
[13:34]<myryvjc>rather than doing text<br><br>more text
[13:35]<nrvym>I understand now, thanks.
[13:35]<myryvjc>you'd add a bottom margin to the heading and then the other text could be on the next line
[13:35]<myryvjc>:o
[13:35]<myryvjc>np
[13:36]<nrvym>ooo. What are paddings for? arent they like margins?
[13:36]<myryvjc>same thing but
[13:36]<myryvjc>inside the object rather than outside
[13:36]<myryvjc>pretty much
[13:36]<nrvym>i see
[13:36]<nrvym>ok
[13:39]<nrvym>I'd like to learn to make my templates in css.. you guys got any usefull links to study from?
[13:39]<znysyj>Navid: http://glish.com/css/ has some basic templates
[13:39]<znysyj>if you do a search you can find many more template repositories
[13:40]<znysyj>http://blog.html.it/layoutgala/ (don't recall the quality of this one)
[13:41]<nrvym>yes thats great, thanks so mcuh
