I'm new to the world of web developing so this may be a basic question to most of you so please bare with me I'm building a site or my auntie's dance school (this is my first full site) and I have added in a navigation bar at the top of the page but she now wishes to have it running down the left hand side. I'm having some problems with switching it around. Am I missing something? or do I need to redo it form scratch? my code if it helps is below: HTML: div id="navbar"> <div class="navlinks"> <ul> <li><a href="homepage.html">Home</a></li> <li><a href="Timetable.html">Timetable</a></li> <li><a href="Merchandise.html">Meet the Teachers</a></li> <li><a href="Gallery.html">School Gallery</a></li> <li><a href="faq.html">FAQs</a></li> <li><a href="Contact.html">Contact Us</a></li> </ul> </div> </div> CSS: #navbar {width: auto; height: 30px; position: relative; border-bottom: 2px solid #FFFFFF;} .navlinks {position: absolute; top: 4px; left: 140px;} .navlinks ul {margin: auto;} .navlinks li {margin: 0px 18px 0px 0px; list-style-type: none; display: inline;} .navlinks li a {color: #FFFFFF; padding: 5px 12px 7px; text-decoration: none; font-size: 18px; font-family: "Broadway";} .navlinks li a:hover {color: #FFCCDD;} Thanks guys

Bump!

sorry about that thanks for help

hey guys, this follows on from a thread from earlier on but i'm looking into a career in web development. I've just graduated and unfrotunately web dev or design was not something that was offered in adundance on my course and since graduating I have struggled with finding grad work, me and a couple of 1000 others I know. I've decided to start learning web development and have already got a pretty decent grasp on X/HTML and CSS (the basics at least)which i have picked up from books etc and i'm really enjoying it so much so that i'm now re-designing and handcoding a new website for my auntie's dance school (which from reading other threads will form part of my portfolio, yes?). I have started another thread here: http://www.webdesignerforum.co.uk/topic/55719-web-technology-courses/ and any advice on that would also help me. My plan is to teach myself as much as possible and attend a couple of courses whilst working at a call centre for some money to fund these, and the advice from a previous thread has advise on just developing a couple of "mock sites" (i think thats right) and create a few designs of what I think would look good or of sites I think may be good. I did a module on user interface design, which was AMAZING and although it was mainly targeted at software the principles i believe can be adapted to web dev also so designing isnt really problem, not to say they will be good but again I get the basic concepts, i.e. as least clicks as possible tomake it easier (Fitz' law) etc. My question is, is this the right thing to do? should I be focusing on trying to land a web dev job based on my basic knowledge of X/HTML and CSS or is learning a wider new skill set and taking some time to devcelop this and having something to show for it, i.e. a small portfolio the better way to go? I really enjoy the developing and really want to turn this into a career I could just do with some friendly advice from guys who have been there and done it, whether you have been in my shoes or have seen someone in a situation similar. thanks guys and sorry for the long thread

Hey guys looking for any recommendations on good courses for web development (i.e. javascritp, PHP etc) i'm in the liverpool area so looking for courses around there or online, I have already found some at a local college but just thought i'd see if anyone knows on here. cheers guys

ahh right cool thanks

If I wanted to create my own site with a blog what language/s would be needed? cheers

as the title states i'm just curious which is better as i'm looking at starting a project and i'm curious whether i'd be better of u hand coding or using dreamweaver? i know html and css but i'm just thinkg that maybe DW is easier to organise a site but not a 100% :S cheers

sorry if this is the wrong section but i am just wondering what th enext step of after HTML and CSS? is it Javascript or PHP or some other language? cheers

Yes it will be for free it is just a timetable for a school wasnt sure a standard link would work so cheers

sorry if this is the wrong section but i was just wondering if there is anyway to add a downloadble file (PDF or word document) into my site so visitors can download it. can this be done using CSS or HTML or do i need a server to upload it to? cheers
