That depends primarily on whether you have to use an iframe, for example to include a YouTube video, which is the easiest and most reliable method. Iframes often get a default border. If you want to get rid of that and be able to manage some extra dimensions of it, you need this: <iframe...

Hey Phreaddee, I am about to make my first offline app as well. The online app, http://tiny.cc/appuzs, is simply a webpage (specific javascript calculator) with a content width and a viewport of 300 px. But my clients will probably want an offline version as well, as they are to use it...

There are body rendering differences between different browsers, but the code should be: body { margin: 0; padding: 0; } Block-level elements always fill the available width for 100% unless otherwise ordered. However, I, too, would think that height: 100% is needed in this case.

That's an excellent start. Next, you could go through the 4 CSS tutorials I wrote for advanced students -- see my signature page. You could also use them as a reference when you need 'em, and learn as you create. In all cases, I would suggest to actually start building a site, for example one...

No, it doesn't prove that at all. What this does prove, however, is that you (only) read what you want to read, not what is written, or only part of it. I already said that I don't give a rat's ass what exactly Google uses it for. They advise, we should do it. End of story. And end of discussion.

That's cheating, because you know all too well that text in a description tag must also be in the article for Google to do something with it. I don't give a rat's ass what exactly Google uses it for. If Google itself advises to include a proper description, people should do that. End of story.

I'd say they are: http://support.google.com/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=35624. And it is what I see in practice, too: Google results often show a part of the description.

Don't put words in my mouth that I didn't use. I didn't say it *was* everything. I said it has everything to do with. It indeed doesn't, but it sure helps. Assuming equal numbers of external links to the three sites, the site with the search term in the title will come out on top, the one with...

Only now do I see that you, too, gave each page its own title and description. Upon first reading your first message, I missed this sentence or it didn't sink in: My apologies. Still, I would prefer the traditional method, because in your method the content text all gets one color in the code...

Because SEO has everything to do with giving each page its own <title> and description, and I didn't understand then that AsheSkyler did that, too (see the below message).

That was not the question. The question was *how* to use includes. Do you use one file with a head, header, nav, side and footer over and over again, and include a new article for every new page, or do you give each article file a head, and include the header, nav, side and footer. To be able...

I guess you read Chris's link, that indeed explains it. The reason I use require for the first part is that that part contains the header and the nav menu. Without that, it ain't much of a site, whereas one generally could do without a footer.

Because of SEO. As is explained in detail in the earlier messages.

Only now do I see that you started this thread over half a year ago.... I thought you had just reached this 1600-meterrock, but noticed in another thread that you already had more than 1600... :)

My principle is this: I like to keep my Hs consistent across the sites I make, with H1 big (3em), and H6 at the normal font size (1em), but bold. With regular intervals in between. Among other things, that keeps the CSS files consistent. Then, I just pick the appropriate H for the content title...

Keywords indeed play no role in the SEO. But the page title and description most certainly do. They are the first things the Google indexing system looks at, when determining the contents of a page. So with a possible future 10 pages, I would still suggest to stick to the traditional...

It should generally be done more or less the other way around: <!DOCTYPE HTML> <html> <head> <title>Page titel</title> <meta charset="iso-8859-1" /> <meta name="author" content="your name goes here" /> <meta name="description" content="blablabla" /> <link rel="stylesheet"...

Actually: who should, before being able to post a question, be asked three very simple questions about html/css. And be redirected to a beginner's course if they don't pass the test... As for Phreaddee: congrats! But enough of that philanthropy. Now go and make some money for yourself, you...

ET say: need input. Question not clear. Need input. Question not clear.

There is no need anymore to use Javascript for multi level menus. The only exception is one small line of script if you want them to work in IE6 as well. Furthermore, you can do it with just HTML and CSS. Have a look at the last tutorial on my sig page. You'll be amazed how simple the code can...
