Error With XHTML Markup by jt2010: 1:47pm On May 04, 2012

Hi Guys,

I need your help with this assignment, thus i have answer them the best way i know after reading from my text book but i still feel i need the help of the expert on programming in the house.

QUESTION IS: Why is the following markup invalid?

<p>Here is some text ... <br>
And some more text...</p>

MY ANSWER is: because the opening br tag must be closed, either by adding a closing br tag (</br> wink

or by inserting a forward slash before the second angle bracket in the existing tag (<br /> wink

.

Am i correct!!! Plz am not a programmer, just taking a compulsory course in programming the internet.

Re: Error With XHTML Markup by delomos(m): 3:01pm On May 04, 2012

Issue 1: "<p></p>" is a block level element so it is not semantic to have a <br/> inside it, sine <br/> is a block-level element too (though inline elements like <span>, <strong>, etc are fine).

Issue 2: under XHTML <br> and </br> are invalid, the only valid markup is <br/>

Post what you have on jsbin and I'd see what's off, read about tables here: http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_tables.asp

Re: Error With XHTML Markup by jt2010: 12:28pm On May 10, 2012

Thanks,

I have done the table but i do have some error when i try to validate it. pleas help. Here is the markup file.

https://gist.github.com/2652521

On question 3: 3. Write a CSS rule that makes all gtext 1.5 times larger than the base font of the system and colors the text red.

I've got this so far:

<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
p {font-size: 150%}
p {color:red}

</style>
</head>

<body>
<p>This is the first paragraph</p>
<p>This is the second paragraph</p>

</body>

</html>

Many thanks.

jt2010: Thanks,

I have done the table but i do have some error when i try to validate it. pleas help. Here is the markup file.

https://gist.github.com/2652521

Many thanks.

here:


<p>
<b><font color="black" size="+2">Objectives</font></b>
</p>

to HTML "+2" dosn't mean anything, try doing 2px, 2em, or 2pt, depending on what you're trying to archive.
This type of font is also not really used anymore, you can try this:


<p style="font-size: 12px; font-weight:bold;">Objectives</p>

this is much shorter and current.
try fixing it and seeing the output here:http://jsbin.com/amibin/edit#html,live

Re: Error With XHTML Markup by jt2010: 2:53pm On May 10, 2012

Bros,

I have errors with the bold part when i try to validate the markup.

AS always, give it a shot and paste it on www.jsbin.com and I'd let you know how it goes from there.

Hi,

Again for the markup.

For a valid table, you need the following elements (with thier respective opening and closing tags HTML fashion):

<table> <-- this indicates the start of the table (then later closed with </table> wink

<thead> <-- this indicates that the section will be in the table's head
<tbody> <-- the body of the table
<tr> <-- A row in the table
<td> (or <th> if it's in a <thead> wink

<-- this indicates a table data within a table row (tr), so to put it together you have something like:


<table>

  <thead>
    <tr>
      <th> this is the first cell in the head </th>
      <th> this is the second cell in the head </th>
    </tr>
  </thead>

  <tbody>
     <tr>
       <td>first row, first cell</td>
     </tr>

     <tr>
       <td>second row, first cell</td
     </tr>
  </tbody>

</table>

see another variation on the table thing here, play with it, see the results and the idea will sink in, then you'd see the issues with your own table : http://jsbin.com/ovuqix/2/edit

Re: Error With XHTML Markup by jt2010: 4:04pm On May 15, 2012

Thanks,

I have done all i need to do now, thus it validate but i guess am not correct with the section of the table that read" This is the table foot."

See the full markup and advise plz.

https://gist.github.com/2702452

Also, the last section, i really need you to explain it to me to enable me understand what am to do.

Write a CSS rule that makes all gtext 1.5 times larger than the base font of the system and colors the text red.

Re: Error With XHTML Markup by delomos(m): 5:11pm On May 15, 2012

use

<tfoot>
<tr>
<td></td>
</tr>
</tfoot>
for the footer of the table it's optional, but the syntax is often the same.

Paste the HTML you're referring to on http://jsbin.com/#html,live

Sorry to bother you again with this request.

Did you have a template of xhtml that can be use to develop a website. I just need some to look and gain concepts. I need to work on a class website project.

A Google search gave this, which looks good: http://designmodo.com/xhtml-css-templates/ . And I'm sure googling on your part can yield more.

Re: Error With XHTML Markup by jt2010: 5:33pm On May 29, 2012

Bros,

Please i have come again with my problem. I need help or direction on what to do concerning this answer.

You have a server-side script that cannot handle any ampersands (&wink in the form data. Write a function that converts all ampersands in a form field to “ and “ when the field loses focus (onblur).

This is what i have done so far.

<html>
<head>
script type="text/javascript">
Function TextBox1_OnBlur()
document.all("TextBox1"wink.value = Replace(document.all("TextBox1"wink.value,"&","and"wink
End Function
</script>
</head>
<body>
<input type="Text" name="TextBox1">
</body>
</html>
