I learned the HTML basics at FR!

So did I! It changed my life! When my assignment officer called to ask if I knew how to design web pages I was able to answer in the affirmative, and landed a great job in a great city!

My boss thinks I am smart, just because of what I learned here!

When I post an article (start a new thread), I'd like to have a wide margin to the left and an even wider margin to the right.

BLOCKQUOTE only does a left indent, but leaves the right margin alone.

Any tips for some simple HTML code that will do the trick?

Thanks!

Trying a <table> tag would work...

This particular table is 65% as wide as the screen. If you don't see the wrap, resize your browser until you do. To duplicate this, type <table width=65%>, and don't forget to close the table with the </table> tag. Of course, you can change the width percent to your liking.

You can also stick a <blockquote> tag in to move the table in.

This table is also 65% as wide as the screen, but it has a <blockquote> tag before the <table> tag. Again, if you don't see the margins, resize the browser until you do. Don't forget to close with a </table> tag, followed by a </blockquote> tag.

The <blockquote>/<table> combo also will automatically put a line between the table and anything appearing afterward.

While the <blockquote> tag doesn't always appear to have a right margin because of word wrap, it does indent the same width as the left margin. Observe:

This blockquoted text is aligned on the right margin using the <div align=right> tag (don't forget to close with the </div> tag).

This un-blockquoted text is also aligned on the right margin.

Doesn't show up in my MS IE browser but does in my old Netscape

I don't think "blink" ever did show up in MS IE and "marquee" didn't show up in Netscape as I recall. I don't know why.
Feel any younger? :-)

Testing, testing...

I don't happen to have "sand" font on my 'puter so it just shows up as regular old Times New Roman (Western).
Looks like it should have worked though.

I'm just your friendly temp drill instructor.

We can never have too many of those and none should ever be considered "temp". Heck, you probably know more about this stuff than I do. I know there are numerous folks here that do.
Compared to the skills I've seen displayed in these threads over the years, On a good day, I'd rate myself as incredibly average.

Thanks soooooo much for posting and pinging me to this thread. There are at least a dozen answers to questions that I've had since my first html post here ever!

Freepers, This summer my brother bought me a HP 551w which uses windows XP. I have yet to figure out how to copy the URL for a picture.

I left click on the picture, then go to properties. The information comes up, but it will not let me copy it. I need help!
My Macintosh was slow as heck, but it was easy to use :-(

I've read about image methods and formats of basic HTML, but have yet to see anyone address it's inabilities. No longer can developers provide sophisticated interfaces via browers without new interfaces which either enhance or extend beyond HTML capabilities. XML looks like it will replace HTML on a gradual basis and it's already in use. There's XHTML, DHTML, CSS, DOM... all of which take us into the future.

Thanks, steve, for handling tictoc's question. I didn't even know the answer! (The only HTML I know I picked up around here!!)

[TPartyType]

Here's your solution, Spunky

It ain't slow and it ain't no steenking PC! :0)

Here's the thread to learn a little HTML and spice up your posts.

[Balata]

Thanks for starting this HTML thread, TPT. It's a great idea.

I would encourage everyone to stop by the Flag Thread and learn how to fly your state flag on your profile page. The Flag Thread is educational, entertaining, fun, and FReepers can practice their new found HTML skills there. Everyones welcome. Come on over.

Flag Thread

[Balata]

One can also learn to fly their state flags on their posts like this.

Or their country flag like this.or any combination.

NIce site and God bless you for helping preserve the memory and the need to view it for what it was.

On my main site there is a link to Patriotism. On that page is the link to my:

Attack on America Site.

... that I put up in September of 2001 about a week or two after the attack. It has received over 320,000 visits. It is simply amazing.
