[techtalk] HTML resources
Hello. I am hoping some of you out there could suggest some websites and/or books on HTML. I have a good grasp of html basics - I've already designed several simple web pages. But now I want to learn what fancier options there are for spiffing up a web page other than using . ;) Can anyone recommend some good intermediate to advanced HTML resources? Also, should I just bite the bullet and learn about XTML? Ingrid [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.linuxchix.org

Please have a look at the do-it-yourself advise 'SELFHTML' that should be part of your distribution. If not you may find it here: http://www.teamone.de/selfhtml/selfhtml.htm It's the best (best!) HTML information for newbies and advanced i know! Ok, to be perfectly honest, it's got one tiny disadvantage: it's written completely in german. ;-) But let's stop joking now!

Now I learned from the old CERN guide some years ago, and used a friend's page. But I use this as a reference book, and it seems pretty through. Haven't checked out the web sites people mentioned to compare things. I have yet to build a new web page. But anyway it comes with a neat "reference card" (aka "Bingo Card" or "Cheat Sheet"). It is pretty good and I am sure all of us bright people could have learned from it. I do not like kumquats and wouldn't devote a whole page to them! :) This was recommended by a friend and she sent the book. Have Fun, Sends Steve [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.linuxchix.org
RE: [techtalk] HTML resources
Hi Igred Since most people have replied on the normal advanced HTML stuff .. I'll add some alternatives to playing with HTML ... pre processing stuff :)) *grin* have a look at PHP http://www.php.net and linking it to MYSQL http://www.mysql.com Henti > -Original Message- > From: Ingrid Schupbach [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Saturday, October 23, 1999 7:17 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [techtalk] HTML resources > > > Hello. > > I am hoping some of you out there could suggest some websites > and/or books > on HTML.

[techtalk] ISA Ethernet card under RHat 6
Ok. I'm trying to set up a multi-homed system to be the internet server for my lan. Yesterday I installed Redhat and got Samba and Netatalk working fine through eth0 (AMD PCNet card, I think) which is PCI. However, when I put in the ISA nic that (whose ethernet address is bound to my cable-modem, btw) is to be hooked up to the internet, the system doesn't seem to find it. My question is: How do I find out stuff like the IRQ and I/O address information for the card from the system?

[techtalk] Re: HTML Resources
hello =) one book i enjoyed (after being pretty familiar with basic HTML) was "Designing Web Graphics 3" by Lynda Weinman. on amazon.com the book gets mixed reviews, but i had seen it in a store and purchased it anyway, and was very impressed by it. i too have a good grasp of the basics, as well as some generic javascript programming and stuff like that, but my creative side was (is) lacking. this book does a good job of teaching the concepts of graphics and web page layout to the non-super-creative types. the author is a mac person, but the book is basically written with both mac and pc instructions for all the major graphics progs (sorry, no gimp, no linux). it covers things like color aesthetics, dhtml, cascading style sheets, flash, shockwave, png's, javascript, graphic design, and all the major progs like photoshop, dreamweaver, fireworks, stuff like that. good info on using unbordered tables for page layout. i think the book retails for about $55 but i've seen it cheaper than that. (i sound like a commercial for this book! i just really enjoyed reading it!) good luck, shelly > > > > Hello. > > > > I am hoping some of you out there could suggest some websites and/or books > > on HTML.

I'd say learn more about graphics, if that interests you. The ability to build good, fast graphics is key for spiffing up a website. If you want a site that'll teach you something about color and design, I'd recommend www.lynda.com, Lynda Weinman's site. (Her books are great too). Learn how to use tables and graphics backgrounds well, too--- that helps a lot. If you're looking for more of a technical challenge, investigate some of the tools out there for building larger websites, the kind you'd never code by hand--- Zope (www.zope.org) and PHP (www.php.org?), for example. *wave* Hi all, this is my first post. I'm srl, a web geek who does Cold Fusion by day. I'm learning more about Linux/Unix in my copious free time, particularly about open source web tools. I'm currently pondering building a new system, 'cause my existing one is all spare parts. (a 486/66 with 16MB RAM and an 800MB HD, Redhat 5.2). I want to run GIMP, and this box just doesn't cut it. Does anyone have any experience with this ABIT motherboard I keep hearing about---the one that can be set up as a dual Celeron system? The idea seems attractive for price reasons, but I just don't know srl [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.linuxchix.org

RE: [techtalk] CD ROM
Hi, I feel like this is a stupid question, but here goes... I have redhat 5.2 installed and wish to upgrade to 6.1. I purchased a CD with 6.1 on CheapBytes (?) and can't get my machine to read the "D" drive in either dos or linux. I'm extremely new at this and haven't recieved my redhat 5.2 books yet, so I hope you will humor me.

Make a directory off of / called "cdrom", and type "mount /dev/hdc /cdrom" (hdc is usually the cdrom drive. However, I have seen it listed as hda and hdb). However, if you are upgrading from 5.2 to 6.1, you probably don't want the system to be running (the base OS files have to be updated, and it causes some nasty segfaults and kernel panics if you try to update a running system). So if you have a newer motherboard that allows you to boot from the cd (set in the bios), simply put the cd into the cdrom drive, reboot the box, and the installation will begin. If you don't have a board that allows cd booting, you will have to download a boot disk from Redhat and boot using this disk. If you have a normal atapi-compliant cdrom, the disk should recognize it and continue the installation.
