Hey guys, I was wondering if any of you have experience with HTML? I have to turn in a HTML project on Sunday and I really don't have any experience with this stuff. I have to give a presentation over Hard Drive & portable storage (different types): differences and future of each and my HTML page should reflect my topic. The instructor did state that we could use ppt and then convert it over to HTML. Any information you guys can provide would surely be appreciated. Thanks in Advance. I also quoted his instructions.
So just do a powerpoint presentation and save it as an HTML web page. Click Save As and then "Other Formats" (in Powerpoint 2007).
Just open the resulting html up in a text editor and delete any meta data referencing powerpoint or whatever you use as you editor.
I have 2010. I've tried saving it as "Other Formats" but no luck. Should I just borrow a friend's laptop and redo the powerpoint altogether?
Word documents are a better choice than Power Point documents (slides with bullet points). Every Word app I have access to can "save as" at web page (aka .htm files). IMHO your professor is full of it for allowing the work to be done in PPT but not in a WYSIWYG html editor like Front Page.
dude. gather and type your information into a .txt or .rtf file, and use w3schools.org to help you format it for html presentation.
He's full of it (and outdated) for even mentioning Front Page. It's like telling the class 'don't use your Studebaker or Edsel to get there! I want you to walk in your homemade leather foot-ball shoelers'
Agreed. It's like Rudy T saying "We'll start Adrian Caldwell today against the Lakers, Dream, you're riding the bench today."
Yeah, he's a jerk to be honest with you. He won't let us use word doc but he spent an hour showing us how to use it. He wants either notepad, ppt, or wordpad. I had to learn how to use Access in a few days and take an exam on it. Guy never once went over anything...
This. Create your document as a .txt file, i.e. all text. Rename the file as a .html file. Insert <html> as the top line and </html> as the bottom line. And you are good to go. If you need images, you will need to go to www.w3schools.org and lookup the <img> tag. Header tags are useful to. Beyond that, you will need to learn CSS to get your web page to look good and I strongly suggest that you do not go down that path for your d******d professor.
Can not do. As an alternative to what I suggested above if you have more time ... If you want pictures, I would write the document in Word. Convert Word to HTML. Open HTML file in notepad. Get scared, very scared. Create a new HTML document in notepad, like I suggested above. Use the Word converted HTML file as a guide to what tags can help you get a better looking document. Read www.w3schools.org to get more info on the tags.
you add pictures in the txt file by using the 'img' tag http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_img.asp they will show when previewing the file in an application that displays .html. If you will take the time to get your feet wet, you will see this is pretty simple.
I just effin' hate it when people want to RUN before they know how to walk or crawl. Dude, READ. Here, dude: "A beginner's guide to HTML" ^ READ THIS. I went through the entire guide in less than a day. It teaches you how to do HTML. Some tags might be deprecated, like the b tag for bold which is now the 'strong' tag.
Thank you guys for your help. I'm waiting to get out of work and get started on this. Thank you all and I do really appreciate it.
If his professor wants it to be like powerpoint then it probably means one page (slide) linking to the next page (slide). Looks like the only thing OP needs to learn is to link to the next page. I would create the thing in powerpoint first, then if you have 10 powerpoint slides, create 10 html pages for each slide. Next put buttons on the bottom of each page with last, beginning, next.
I used to design webpages as a side business and for my department's intranet pages. Use this but definitely check out the link that Swoly-D provided. I used that same guide early on. HTML: <HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE></TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY background="" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" leftmargin="" topmargin="" vlink=""> <table width=800 border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0> <tr> <td><br> </td> </tr> <tr> <td><p></p></td> </tr> <tr> <td></td></tr> <tr> <td valign="top"><br></td> <td><img src="images/dot_white.gif" width=1 height=1 hspace=15 border=0 alt=""></td> <td rowspan=2 valign="top"> <br><p align="center"><font size="-2"><br>e-mail: <a href="mailto:"></a></font></td> </tr> </table> </BODY> </HTML>
