After HTML and CSS, what to learn next..?

My knowledge of css and html are ok and I understand that with time can only get better. I'd like to take the next step and start looking at another language.
Which one..? Is it javascript or php..? Is one more beneficial that the other...?
Any advice would be great.

Both are beneficial and I'd recommend at least becoming familiar with them.
I'd say learn how to use Javascript frameworks (like Spry and jQuery) to add some basic interactivity to your pages first.
Then learn some PHP/MySQL and learn how to, at the very least, hook these backend systems to your page designs. Playing with Wordpress on a local test server is an excellent way to do this in my opinion.
After that, start learning them in-depth as needed/desired.

Slices - HTML and CSS??

Hello,
I was wondering if someone with extensive experience with HTML and CSS AND PS could help me with my question:
I have been marking up HTML and CSS for some time now using a basic text editor. As my designs have advanced, so has my ability in Photoshop and Illustrator. I came across a tutorial where someone is using PS to convert slices into HTML and CSS. Now, I have always used a text editor for HTML and CSS so this is all VERY new to me. Why would someone want to do this (wouldn't you have MUCH less control if you let PS write out your HTML and CSS for you)? What are the PROS and CONS to using Photoshop in this way over designing using text editors? Is this method of converting slices for people who don't want to learn HTML and CSS or is this a very valuable tool even for people who know HTML and CSS thoroughly?
Thank you in advance....

The output is plain HTML/CSS so you have the same control to go back and edit it by hand.
This all goes back to the concept of prototyping. When you are working up designs for a client you probably don't jump straight to typing HTML/CSS. You either present hand sketches or mocks from Photoshop. The idea is that if you have created a decent mock-up in Photoshop, you can proceed to slice it up to become the actual design.
For a path to thousands of pages discussing the pros and cons of this concept, go here:
http://www.google.com/search?q=web+prototyping+photoshop
Photoshop web prototyping is evolving. ImageReady was dropped and with the acquisition of Fireworks from Macromedia (which does the same thing as Photoshop - - but many web designers claim it does it better), the future is uncertain regarding where Adobe will go. Good luck on finding an ideal workflow. I'm still looking too.

Java Swing/AWT and FX is so old school! Give me HTML and CSS for GUI!

Dear Java,
I am a seasoned programmer and I feel it's time JAVA implements a GUI system where it uses HTML and CSS for the GUI. For the love of god just look at the interfaces you can make using HTML and CSS alone. I am a big fan of Java Swing and the recent GUI designer for FX is quite cool. But they are just not as simple as HTML and CSS. And JavaFX has some interesting requirements for the graphics.
I know it is possible to use JavaFX and implement the WebView/WebDriver and make it load a HTML page, etc... but why go through all the trouble?
Just imagine... if you make Java where it has powerful back-end to do what it does best and the HTML/CSS powered GUI on the front-end. It will make the lives of many developers much much easier.
I am not sure whether a Swing designed GUI will be faster than a HTML designed GUI... but if you look at a traditional browser and how fast it renders HTML/CSS, I am sure if Java had a native Form where it uses HTML and CSS to render the GUI, Java will make the dreams of many programmers a reality.
Make it happen!!!!

Html and CSS in JEditorPane

I have been working with Velocity to produce dynamic HTML and displaying the results with the JEditorPane. I have been searching for an article or tutorial that talks about the JEditorPane (HTML and CSS related), but nothing has come up (I also did a quick search in this forum).
I would like to know what is JEditorPane capable of doing in terms of displaying HTML with CSS, and how do you set it up.
If JEditorPane is not the best option with HTML that has positioning in CSS, can somebody suggest something else that has better support for CSS than JEditorPane?
I would greatly appreciate any response (Any suggestion or links to additional information will be great too!)
Thanks,
Victor Gutierrez

Optimizing content html and css

Hate working with code? Zeldman says authoring good HTML and CSS is an art

Visual designers often complain about the need to get their hands dirty with HTML and CSS, and long for a program that will do it all for them. According to web standards guru, Jeffrey Zeldman, they'll have a very long wait: http://www.zeldman.com/2010/07/05/an-indesign-for-html-and-css/.
Well worth reading.

Thank you David.
I was reading the article a few minutes before you posted, and I just hope more people would take note of what it says, especially this part -
Adobe could also stop ignoring Fireworks, as Fireworks is a better
starting place for web design. They might even interview serious,
standards-oriented web designers and start from scratch, as a new tool
will suffer from fewer political constraints and user expectations than a
beloved existing product with deep features and multiple audiences.

Sliced up and imported - whats the best next step?

Hey guys, I've been using DreamWeaver for a little while but I really am a novice and really need some help!
I created a page in Photoshop, then sliced it up and imported it into DreamWeaver as a html page - it displayed fine. What I would like to do now though, is turn the centre section of the image into a changing content area - for text and, on one page, a music player. What would be the best way to do this?

I agree with PZ. Code generated by graphics apps is intended for quick prototypes only; not for use in production sites.
For best results, use your graphics apps for images only. Use DW to build your HTML and CSS code.

HTML and CSS Best Practices for Eloqua?

Hello Topliners Community,
My name is Ben and I am a Web Designer. I am currently looking for any guidance on HTML and CSS best practices when working with Eloqua. I am interested in the best practices for e-mail and landing pages.
Thank you,
Ben

Personally I like to upload my custom created html/css into Eloqua instead of using the WYSIWYG.
But if you must then right clicking on text boxes and click edit source is the way to go.
There was a good discussion on editing your forms with CSS:

Tools for validate HTML and CSS Error in DW?

Hello Guys,
Want to know any addon or menu tool in Dreamweaver to validate HTML and CSS error.

http://www.adobe.com/support/dreamweaver/htmljava/migrating_hs_to_dwmx/migrating_hs_to_dwm x06.html
I find it a bit more comfortable though to use teh W3 Validator and I always access that with the Firefox Browser and the Web Developer plug-in. Another good plug in for FF is Firebug.

I just updated my Firefox browser to Firefox 8. I am a college student and practice with HTML and CSS for class assignments. The fonts in all my html documents are being overwritten online by your script typeface. How do I resolve this issue?

Starting with this, you have errors in your CSS code.

N95 HTML and CSS support

Hello,
I work on a Web site optimisation for the Nokia N95 phone terminal. I did not find, in the Nokia Web site, any reference documents on the HTML and CSS supported by the N95 Web browser. Where can I get such technical references ?
Actually, I try to use the command max-device-width and min-device-width which allows to select a stylesheet according to the device dispay mode (width = 240 or width = 320). I noticed that it is not supported by this browser. Are there any alternative ? I would like also to know if the meta tag name = "viewport" is available on the N95 browser.
Any answear would be appreciated.
Best regards,
Xavier Ottolini

HI,
If you like to embed the HTML form in your web page then you will need to obtain the form code from the Distribite/Embed tab. Additional information can be found here: http://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-1991
You will not be able to access/modify the css code or the rest of the form html code. If you like to view the source of of a HTML page, please use your browser 'view source code' functionality.
I hope this answer your question,

Design Region using HTML and CSS

Hi,
I need to design a region with HTML and CSS tags. Is there any tools available so that auto generated code gets that can be used inside the region. Please suggest.
Thanks
Sudhir

See if this works;
'''[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/noiascrollbars/ NewScrollbars (aka NoiaScrollbars)]''' {web link}
The "NewScrollbars"-extension replaces the default
scrollbars of Firefox and Thunderbird with
colorized ones (partly) known from "Noia themes".

After HTML and CSS, what to learn next..?
