Please help a complete newbie get to grips with website project

Hi all,
       I've been following a lynda.com tutorial called Creating a First Web Site with Dreamweaver CS6. I have limited HTML and CSS knowledge, but i thought i'd be fine if i didn't stray too much from the advice offered in this tutorial. The problem is, the tutorial is designed around creating a responsive website. Whereas the site i'd already designed in Illustrator uses fixed width & height type rusted metallic backgrounds and boxes that the text sits on is mean't to sit on. Anyway, all was going well until i hit the section that deals with creating a mobile layout; in particular a mobile.css. Obviously my fixed parameter boxes, created in illustrator, don't adapt to being scaled down from their original settings.
I hope i'm making some kind of sense, since i've had very little sleep because the little one has a cold.
So my question is, do i create a whole new mobile layout in illustrator? So for example my desktop background is 1366x1000, so i''d want to scale this down to 480x800 for mobile. Likewise the same for the rusted metallic text boxes. The header box at the top of the page is 940px by 185px, so i'd create one that's roughly (just a crude guesstimate) 380px by 85px etc etc. I've uploaded a still shot of my project here, so you get a better idea of what 'm talking about - http://imageshack.us/f/15/ba9t.jpg/

As you can see my knowledge of coding is abysmal, i'm definitely more of a designer than a developer. Can any one of you benevolent, intelligent and hopefully patient individuals please offer me some help and advice on how to progress, and also how to clean this cluster f*ck of a nightmare coding up. So that i can transform this into a decent desktop/mobile website. Do i have to create a whole new mobile website. and some how link to it? So that a device trying to view this on a smaller resolution automatically accesses the mobile version. How would i proceed with this?
Thanks again for any help you can offer me, it's most appreciated

Hi & welcome to the Dreamweaver Forums!
Illustrator or Photoshop are OK for making images and design comps.  But don't use them to generate code.  The code is hopelessly rigid and unstable; not suitable for use on real web sites.
You'll be doing yourself a huge favor if you close DW for about a week and learn everything you can about HTML, CSS and web design theory.  Without a working knowledge of fundamentals, DW is going to be a frustratingly steep learning curve.   If you come to grips with code first, DW is fairly easy to learn.
Tutorials sites:
http://www.html.net/
http://w3schools.com/
http://www.csstutorial.net/
http://phrogz.net/css/HowToDevelopWithCSS.html
http://webdesign.tutsplus.com/sessions/web-design-theory/
#1 Don't paint yourself into a box.  Web pages need to be flexible to work in different displays and devices. 
#2 Page height is determined by content; not explicit values.  Your CSS layout needs to be built in such a way as to accommodate both long and short pages.  Otherwise it will fall apart when visitors change their browser settings. 
#3 Positioning (APDivs or Layers) are pure poison in primary layouts.  98% of what you do requires no positioning whatsoever.  Learn to use CSS floats and margins to align elements.
#4 Start with one of the pre-built CSS Layouts in DW.  Go to File > New > Blank page > HTML.  Choose a layout from the 3rd panel and hit the Create Button.  SaveAs index.html.  Add your own images, text and CSS backgrounds.  Examine the HTML & CSS code in Split View to learn how the page is structured.
Feel free to post back if your run into any problems.
Good luck!

  • Please help a complete noob get started...

    Hi all, new here. I have decided that I would like to be an Oracle DBA. I have always wanted to learn some type of networking, however I admit to being a complete noob to the subject. However, I do have a few really basic questions that I hope I can find some answers to. It may be best if I just number them. (I am in the Dallas/Fort worth Area) Here we go..
    1. What kind of place might a typical oracle DBA work at? A hospital? Or is it more like those giant skyscrapers you see in the city?
    2. How long does it typically take to get certified? This is granted, of course, that you don't fail your classes and have to retake them.
    3. Is there a way I can take the "classes" for the certification online, and possibly test online?
    4. We all get jobs to make money. Being a dad with a family, I have to say that I can't really afford to aim low. What kind of salary might an oracle dba earn?
    5. Is and oracle job something that can be found in some of the smaller towns/suburbs? Or is this something that is kind of scarce?

    Well thanks for all the replies guys. Although being such a noob, I have to admit that I did not understand a good portion of them lol. Im pretty computer savvy, but so far I have really been more into hardware. I guess you could call me a hardware enthusiast. I love overclocking and bios modding and gaming.
    But on to my next question. I have noticed, after some searching and looking at some of the links you guys provided, that people in oracle seem to be paid pretty well as a general rule. Just a quick search revealed a few oracle DBA jobs that the starting pay was anywhere from $90k-110K. My question is this: Why does the pay seem to be so much higher than some of the other certifications, such as CCNA? (a cisco cert) Is it because the job is currently in high demand? Just curious I guess. Of course it's part of the reason I want to get into oracle, but i guess im just new... but it still strikes me as strange that there is such a drastic difference between it and some of the other certifications.
    Edited by: user8772743 on Aug 28, 2009 9:14 PMAn employer looking for a DBA will usually be looking for far more than the certification, they'll be looking for evidence of experience, judgement, rigour, responsibility knowledge and a host of other characteristics and an ability to take on new challenges.
    Also a CCNA is an entry level cicso certification, though they do have CCENT which is a little lower. You need to be getting to CCIE to be a little higher.
    From where you are at the moment you might consider a self taught microlight pilot wanting to become an airline pilot on 737s. Would he, after all the training, find that the rigourous and sometimes monotonous drag of a luton to Glasgow shuttle is not really what one wanted.
    I usually like to see little steps first. But you want the big step to the big pay league for iminimum effort ... I guess its possilble ... but ......
    I think because of your current love of hardware you might be better suited to study one the following certifications first
    You may wish to remain with microsoft or whether to get linux experience. I would start with Fedora or Ubuntu, I actually find Ubuntu more fun but less mainstream.
    MSCT
    CCENT (or CCNA)
    LINUX+ or something from CompTIA
    If you want to get into databases and an entry level database certification then a Sun MYSQL CMA is a consideration as an entry level study. Its disdvantages are its unlikely to help you get a job and the SQL syntax is different to Oracle.
    If you can complete before 30th september then a Sun Openoffice Writer Certification is a cheap option (if you can pass it).
    Sometimes looking for evening classes close to where you are might be a better option to channel your efforts on a whats available rather than what I want basis.
    If you are really looking for an online course then try something like: [http://www.ed2go.com/cgi-bin/ed2go/newofferings.cgi?dept=CP] I cannot personnally verify if this particular vendor is useless, bad, cheap or whatever. Some online courses are certainly not to be recomended. Anyway [www.certguard.com] knows about this and while not within certguard remit does not say anything bad about it.
    Quality is probably not great and possibly not up to date but wider width and quite cheap are from [http://www.vtc.com/] .. this is positively cleared at about time of this post by [www.certguard.com] as certification safe. You can look at some lessons here perhaps to decide what you want to get into. If seriously getting into a certification you've be better get something to supplement; but for learning proably okay.
    You can actually do the oracle courses from Oracle online ... but they are quite expensive : [www.oracle.com/education]

    Emergency! Please Help. I have an iPhone 4 with all my pictures from the vacation on it and I plugged into my computer and it sync'ed to my ipod.  all of my pictures are gone.  How do I get my pictures back?

    If all you did was sync your phone, and if you haven't synced again since this happened, you can restore your phone from the backup that was created at the beginning of the sync process (camera roll photos are included in the backup).  If you have synced again since this happened this backup has already been overwritten and your photos are lost.  Also, if you restored your phone from the backup of your iPod, rather than just synced, then your  photos are lost too.
    If you have an intact backup that contains these photos, do the following:
    Without connecting your phone, open iTunes on your computer and go to Preferences.  On the Devices tab check "Prevent...from syncing automatically".
    Connect your phone to your computer, right-click on the name of your phone when it appears in iTunes on the left sidebar and select Restore from Backup, choose your most recent backup to restore from.
    When complete, you can go back to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and re-enable automatic syncing.

    Your "other" of 6 GB may include corrupted data or file sytem errors. If after removing the messages there is still >2GB, you will need to restore the phone in iTunes, first using a backup (made after deleting the messages) and if needed as a new iPhone.

  • When I download the digital copy of the Hunger Games, it stops at 4.0GB and first returns an error code -1309 and then the code -50. Please help me complete the download.

    When I download the digital copy of the Hunger Games, it stops at 4.0GB and first returns an error code -1309 and then the code -50. Please help me complete the download. I have tried removing the .tmp folder and downloading it again, but each time it stops the download in the same place.

    I discovered the solution. The external drive I was saving it to was formatted as FAT32. In that format, the largest files can only be 4GB, which explains why it kept stopping at 4GB. I backed up all the files then reformatted it as Mac OS Extended (Journaled), this is possible since I am on an iMac.

  • Someone please help a complete beginner with Enterprise Manager!

    Question moved from
    Someone please help a complete beginner with Enterprise Manager!
    Please be gentle with me, I'm absolutely new to all this. We don't have a proper DBA and I've been tasked with the role. There is no-one else in the company with oracle experience and we don't have any support. Until now I've just used enterprise manager to manage the database, but now I have a problem..
    We are using Windows Server 2003 and Oracle 10g. I (stupidly) installed some network monitoring software on our server (PRTG network monitor). I almost immediately uninstalled it and all components/registry settings, but it seems to have thrown something out regards the OEM web interface.
    We used to access the OEM GUI through http://<hostname>:5500/em, but after installing/uninstalling the network monitor software the OEM webpage would only stay up for a few minutes, before saying 'Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage'. Restarting the DBconsole in services fixed the problem, but again, only for a few minutes.
    Spent all day yesterday looking at logfiles (they didn't make much sense to me), but seemed to be saying access was denied to the server ('actively denied it'). Lots of googling led me to believe I needed to reconfigure OEM by dropping and recreating it using:
    emctl stop dbconsole
    emca -deconfig dbcontrol db
    emca -repos recreate
    during this process I was asked for various passwords and a port number? I didn't even know what to use as the port number but guessed it was 5500 ?!? (probably wrong). As it didn't work I used the default port number that I found somewhere on the web.
    However now I am even deeper in the **** as this didn't work either, (some error about listnener?) and I have now lost the DBConsole in windows services. Obviously the OEM web console doesn't work at all now
    I would be eternally grateful for some patient, beginners help here..I can post whatever log files are necessary - I just need to know what I'm supposed to be doing and where to start..
    We used to log on to the OEM as 'SYSTEM', but nowhere in the process does it seem to ask me for the password for that (its asked me for SYS and SYSMAN)
    It could be that I'm going about this completely wrong, but with only a days experience in all this its pretty hard to know what I'm doing really!
    As you can tell I'm in way over my head..I just need OEM web interface to work!
    Thanks in advance

    ok, thanks to helpful comments from other people in my initial thread (posted in general database forum), after rebuilding the console/repository I now have EM up and running. But there are more problems..
    Firstly I have an error at the very top of the screen:
    java.lang.Exception: Number of responses does not match queries
    Also, the 'Host CPU' and 'Active Sessions' are blank and say 'No Data Is Currently Available' beneath them
    my emagent.trc file contains this error, repeating with different thread IDs every 30 seconds...
    (error = 10061)

  • Please Help!!! Getting data to a table

    I am having real problems with this I want a table with a header which lists the contents of a file. In this file on each line there are the header titles eg each line is set out the same just containing different parameters etc Event No: 0     Time Elapsed: 1.0 Event String: Algoritm changed Parameter: algo: Monitoring
    In the table the constructor says Object [][] and Object [] please help how do I get my code to compile.
         FileReader file = new FileReader("c:\\projects\\FirstSupport\\logfile2.txt");
              BufferedReader inputfile = new BufferedReader (file);
              Object[] columnNames = {"Event No",
    "Time Elapsed",
    "Event String",
    "Parameter"};
              Object[] values;
              MessageFormat mf = new MessageFormat("Event No:{0,number} Time Elapsed: {1,number} Event String:{2} Parameter:{3,number}");
              text = "Event No: 0     Time Elapsed: 1.0 Event String: Algoritm changed Parameter: algo: Monitoring";
              while ((Line = inputfile.readLine()) != null);
                   System.out.println(text);
                   values = mf.parse(text);
                   int eventNo = ((Number)values[0]).intValue();
                   double time = ((Number)values[1]).doubleValue();
                   String eventString = (String)values[2];
                   int param = ((Number)values[3]).intValue();
    JTable table = new JTable(values,columnNames);

    Hi,
    where is the problem? Does the part reading the file work? If so I would use a class extending DefaultTableModel .
    Have a look at :

  • Please help  I am suddenly getting the following on my calendar  The server did not recognize your user name or password for account "..." Make sure you enter them correctly.  I depend on it for work

    Please help  I am suddenly getting the following from my calendar  The server did not recognize your user name or password for account “...” Make sure you enter them correctly.I have even tried changing the password and no luck.  I depend on it syncing with mobile me and my phone and I need it for work.

    I have been having the same issue but I think I fixed my problem.  In iCal, click iCal, Preferences, Accounts and retype your password.  That seems to have done the trick for me as far as I can tell.

  • Please Help :( iMac 20" refuses to boot up with anymore than 1gb ram?

    Please Help iMac 20" refuses to boot up with anymore than 1gb ram?  It was fine 4 days ago and had been working with a 1gb stick in one slot and a 2gb stick, which had replaced the orignal 1gb stick that I got it with, in the other and it had shown 3gb of ram and was working just fine with that since November?  It went to sleep briefly 4 days ago while I was waiting on a customer and I came back to try to wake it up and it never would forcing me to hard boot it.  When I did that it would only go to a black screen with a solid white light on the power indicator.  Over and over again and same thing.  I read and tried every suggestion I could possibly find in this and a few other mac forums to no avail.
    I finally after reading about RAM issues etc.  I decided to power off and take out the ram sticks and try them one at a time in each slot.  So I took out the 2gb stick and did the SMC reset and it would boot up and work just fine with the 1 gb of ram.  So then I went through the same process with the 2gb stick and it would not boot up only go to a black screen with white solid light again (NOT flashing).  So then I tried the other original 1gb I had replaced with the 2gb and it worked just find like the other 1gb.  So then I tried just 1gb stick in the other ram slot (back facing one) and with just the 1gb strip it booted up and worked fine.  Tried it with the other 1gb stick and once again that one too worked just fine.  So I determined it wasn't the slot itself I thought?  I then tried the 2gb in the back slot and it would not boot only go to the black screen white solid light deal like before.  So I thought well ok it's obviously the 2gb ram must have somehow went bad (even though I have only had it since November) and I thought well I will just use the (2) 1gb sticks in each slot and then that will at least give me 2gb because only 1gb really ***** LOL.  So I proceeded to go through the same shut down process installed both sticks (I always push them to I feel them click and my fingers have a nice indention on them) reset the SMC and turned the power one and.... It would only go to the black screen with white solid light on power indicator????  I went through the same above process at least 3 times and again today a few times and I can't figure it out and I tried to search and search and I couldn't find anything like what I am experiencing.....What happened?  Please help this slow Imac is killing me.  It will work with 1gb ram only nothing more?  Here are the specifics of my Imac.
    It is a 20" Late 2006 Intel Core 2 Duo 2.16 ATI Radeon X1600 256 MB graphics card and Ram with now only 1gb (did have 3gb) and I am running OSX Lion 10.7.5
