Um ... a very stupid question

Post by pillsbury15 » Sun Apr 25, 2010 9:27 pm

I've noticed in the video info users put images and bold and all that I fell asleep in class when they were teaching HTML ... if that is HTML ... could anyone help me out.

Basically tags to difference the way words show up.
The tags you can use are mentioned there: a, i, u, b, em, strong, strike.

a is for links: <a href="link">link</a>. B for bold, u underlined, i italic, bla.
You can test them out the way nevergreen mentioned. I guess the link tag is the hardest to think of.

Do you mean something like this?

if so, it's part HTML and part CSS
You're only allowed to use <a>, <b>, <i>, <u>, <em>, <strong>, and <strike> in the video info page (<b>, <em> and <strong> all do pretty much the same thing...bold text)

usually, you'd need to use <img> to get a picture in...but you can use css to work around that.

I've written the specifics here, and eventually ended up re-explaining virtually every aspect in the second page of this thread

as a last note, w3schools is a good site to learn/brush up on HTML, CSS, Javascript and a bunch of other web development related stuff

Wait, wut, they teach HTML in schools now? That's great. In my day we had auto-CAD on the Apple II-e and some crappy MS Visual Basic on dime a dozen IBM compatibles. Never taught us anything useful like HTML...

Well, RTF, but that was us bringing it into the school, not the other way around...

I was actually thinking the same. Even though there was only one year with IT, and it was 5 years ago, they were teaching Pascal. Talk about useless things.

It's good for teaching procedural languages. It's also a pretty standard method of writing psudocode.

You might be right on that, and while syntax is the most important thing to learn off, I'm still thinking that 3 months of other language would have been of more use (yeah, only 3 months... what can you learn?).
