I don't have known extensions hidden, bipper. And I used to write html files back when I used windows 95. It just doesn't save them with a .txt affix. I know this, because I upload them exactly to my site.
Crash, you don't have to change the file encoding. Just type crashesfile.html in the name blank.
It doesnt matter if you change the save as type to all files, but on newly installed windows systems after windoes 98 second edition, file extensions are hidden if they are known by default. I have gon through it a million times, and just looked it up. /shrug
Its jsut a known fact to me. You must have unchecked it or somethin? If you reinstall ever, check it out quick, it should be checked. Just one of the quirks of windows being easier to use imo. I just tell people to uncheck that (when I teach) so that when we hit up apache extensions, and begin working with different serverside languages, it saves you from a lot of (duh) problems.

Yes, as it's already been established your best option is to either CSS + XHTML or DreamWeaver/Frontpage (but those cost $).
http://www.westciv.com/style_master/...roduction.html
That's a fairly decent tutorial for CSS and XHTML in notepad, but ignore the stupid product placements for whatever the hell they're trying to get you to download.
Once you've gone through all of that tutorial, go to www.csszengarden.com and download a couple of .css files and check out what people are doing and how. Devotion = Skill, the more you put into to a page the better it'll come out.
If I may add Html is being replaced by strict xml and css in a lot of places. Learn html or xhtml (nearly the same) first, then i would suggest moving to xml. When you got a lot of dynamic content, xml is a godsend.

Of course I unchecked it. Why on earth would I want to hide known extensions? I wouldn't be able to tell the difference between a wav or a mp3 or a jpeg and a gif. That sort of thing causes a lot of trouble xD
Oh ok!! I'll try it!!Originally Posted by rubah

Yes, I know, but if this was checked, then when you save a file as .html, (without changing the save as button - which most people get too eager and don't do anyways) It will look like an html page, since the .txt is hidden. Effectivaley causing confusion. That's all I was sayin :rolleyes2

So it's like this right??
Looks great! Good job.
I would reccomend looking up css as you learn html. Table positioning (How your getting your stuff aligned) is not reccomended by the W3c (the most pertinant body on international web standards).just letting ya know
But yes, that is the basics of webpaging. Working with Hyperlinks would be a good spot for youto go next, then images.

I know how to make tables already..
This is the problem. You aren't supposed to use tables. If you use tables to position stuff, you'll be laughed off your free webhosting site by people who use big acronyms to confuse you. Learn CSS/XHTML. It's the standards for web design. I gave you a tutorial.
WTF, tables are god when used without borders.
They've been labeled depreciated. Along with <s> for struck-out text and a lot of other useful things.
Yes, they are being replaced with css as html was for mere markup - not layout. I still am not 100% sure why the struck out text is depriciated though /shrug

I'm CSS impaired, but I'm HTML impaired as well. Dreamweaver uses CSS though so I learn it a bit from there, or I rip it from page source codes and paste it into Dreamweaver to see what does what.
