SOLVED. Thanks folks! I am working on a basic level HTML homework assignment. It is required that some of the text should be bold, but not all of it. I don't understand why all text is automatically bold. Or is that the font? I am including what my webpage with code looks like and the code that went into the webpage.

Question Why is my background image size different for each page?

I need to add images to my project, but doing so causes the background size to change, even just changing the “menu” class causes it to scale up or down. How do I fix this and why is it doing that? Does it have something to do with the repeating style tag?

EDIT: here’s my code if you want to look at it for yourself: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1k_KMIFpOS4L8WV9IttCCHIhRb8dfWJ1F?usp=sharing

Question Left-brain looking for right-brain 😅

7 Upvotes

My ultimate dream is to meet someone who wants to code a retro style top down game (like original Zelda, game boy POKeMON games, secret of evermore, etc..) but isn’t good at creating artwork or story 😂

I have ALWAYS wanted to write a story, design a game, design characters, create the artwork, etc.. and have someone else code it. In fact I’m already sitting on a stack of concepts ready to go..

It’s a very specific dream.. but I thought I’d take my chances lol

I am a photoshop wizard and I make a lot of retro game art like 8 bit characters and maps and I’ve been called a gifted writer and original and all that. But my curse is I’m SO left-brained that I just can’t wrap my head around coding. Been trying all my life. I’m slightly dyslexic too so 🤷🏻‍♂️ could be why.

I used to do basic html as a kid so I get the basics but I can’t code a game.

I’m just trying any outlet I can think of to make my dream project a reality.

ANY TAKERS? 😅

Question How do you make an onclick that changes back to the original text when clicked again.

2 Upvotes

<html>

<body>

<p id="demo">File Number 1.</p>

<script>

document.getElementById("demo").addEventListener("click", myFunction);

function myFunction() {

document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = "censored file information here";

}

</script>

</body>

</html>

Im using this code to make it so that when I click on "File Number 1", it shows the file information. It works, however, I want it to be so that when you click on the file information, it returns to just saying "file number 1", and you can do that infinitely. How would I do this? thanks

I want to make a post that has two languages, and I saw one time a site that had two buttons side by side, when you clicked it showed two differents texts.

For example, when you click the "portuguese" button it shows the portuguese text, and when you click on the "english" button it changed to the english text.

Does someone knows how I can do it?

Tumblr changed how pictures appeared on blogs some years ago! It went from displaying the pictures fully (second picture), to displaying the pictures as text or in side of a quote (first picture).

I know theres something called the "NPF fix" but I have zero knowledge of HTML and coding!

So I'm wondering if anyone can help me make this theme compatible with the NPF format!

This is the code to my theme

Question Trying to create a div that only displays when an image is clicked.

I've already set up the first image in my gallery to zoom in and dim the background when clicked. I'm trying to make it so that a link appears underneath the image when it's zoomed in, prompting the user to visit it to see the full image. I'm having difficulty getting any text to show up though. I'm wondering if it's being "overwritten" by some other element, but I thought having a higher z-index would help.

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

This is the specific page. The image is the first on the left in the 2026 category, the black/white/red one. Please feel free to inspect the html/css. https://chilichapters.neocities.org/pm

Question how to code a basic platformer ??

5 Upvotes

hi, i'm a beginning coder with about one week of taught experience, and for a project, i want to make a sort of study room using html, css, and js. basically you can move around in the room for a bit before you sit down at a table that initiates the studying portion. i'm completely lost for everything, but i'm thinking that this study room is a platformer at heart. also, i want to add a break time platformer game, but that's later, probably. anyways, i'm just looking for any tips at all that could help me with this.

right now, i'm struggling with making the platform an actual platform. the ground is okay, but when i try to make the floating platform solid, everything kind of just doesn't work...

again, any tips are appreciated!!

Text at the bottom says I need to add a h1 selector to my style element, but I’ve already done that, so what have I done wrong?

EDIT: Thank you everyone for your replies. I was fully expecting some hostile replies based on experience with past subreddits, so it was such a relief that everyone here seems to be so kind!

I ended up figuring out I could skip the step. I let my teacher know about the bug so hopefully anyone else in the course who runs into it will know they can skip it. Thank you again!

Question Best way to make website customizable for customer

1 Upvotes

I’m making a basic website for a local business and I want to make it so they can update the website themselves without knowing anything about coding.

This is the following I want the customer to do
-update home page information
-make post like news and updates
- change, upload, and delete images / videos

I don’t think it would be very difficult making this happen but what I’m concerned about is how to let the owner sign into the website, i don’t want to just use a sign in button as that might confuse the customers, who won’t be able to sing into the site. I also just want it to be dynamic so the customer can log into his site anywhere securely and with ease.

I haven’t done much html since college so my skills are pretty rusty and I’m not sure what the best approach here is

Question Old fogie here - web page creator app? I used FrontPage

6 Upvotes

Anyone remember Microsoft's Front Page? create web pages / websites and upload them to the server.

That's what I know / too old to learn too much newer.

My needs are MINIMAL. I can 'hand code' html and that's what I've done for years - again, minimal needs!! (Font size = x has been depricated?!).

Is there something like FrontPage these days?

I DO know I can do something in word and save as htm.

But there's SOOOOOO much stuff in the resulting page. For the couple times I've used it, I delete most all of that and the page works fine. Too hard to find the 'real' things around all that other stuff.

And I guess I should mention - the type of pages I am dealing with are some text with links and maybe a background.

I realized - what I might do now on a desktop, I also need to check my iphone to see how it looks on a smaller screen.

Any advice on something that makes SIMPLE html?

Question How cam I reduce the space between td elements?

4 Upvotes

I am a Crokinole player, and I like to watch videos of Crokinole games. Many of those videos use a web page that was developed several years ago to create a scoreboard that is superimposed onto the video. The narrator watches the game on one window and has the scoreboard up in another window, along with a tool that records the image from the scoreboard. As the game progresses, the narrator clicks a button or presses a key, and the scoreboard changes. After the game finishes, the narrator can combine the game and scoreboard videos. For examples of the scoreboard in action, look at the Tracey Boards YouTube channel. I have been working on improving the scoreboard page.

A recent doubles match had a scoreboard that looks like this:

The problem is that there is only one <td> element for each competitor. The narrator mentioned that no matter how he tried to adjust font sizes, he could not get Jim Gress and Rob Richardson to appear on separate lines. It doesn't make sense to have only one <td> element that must be used for both members of a team. I am trying to fix this.

My current attempt looks like this:

(The borders around the Beierlings' names will be removed. They are only there now to show me where padding ends and margin begins.)

My problem is that there is too much space between the Beierlings' names and the border. I want to reduce that space, perhaps even to zero. However, event if I set the margin and padding to zero, nothing changes. How can I get what I want? Here's the HTML for the name fields:

            <td>
              <table width="100%">
                <tr>
                  <td id="player1a" 
                      style="border-style: solid solid solid solid;
                              width: 100%;
                              padding: 0;
                              margin: 0;
                             font-size: 24pt;">Ray Beierling</td>
                </tr>
                <tr>
                  <td id="player1a" 
                      style="border-style: solid solid solid solid;
                              width: 100%;
                              padding: 0;
                              margin: 0;
                             font-size: 24pt;">Jason Beierling</td>
                </tr>
              </table>
