HTML, XHTML & CSS troubles...

So for the pass 2 months or so, i have been learning html(5) xhtml and css. I don't quite get a few things though. I cant figure out how to make things transparent. Like how you can see a small tint of the background but not all. Sorta like with the layouts here. Second, i can't figure out fully with screen positioning. 1 more thing though, I don't understand the concept of layouts here as well, without the layout generator. I can do html/css for websites, but not layouts? That makes no sense! It's not this site though. It's me. I can't understand where to start, is all. If no one, feels like teaching, can someone link to some good tutorials? Thank you.

Edit: Not the stickied one though.

Layouts are exactly the same as websites, both are just html/css, so if you can make websites but not layouts then I can't help you because that doesn't make sense.
About the "screen positioning" thing, what exactly do you even need help with, you were not specific at all with both that and why you can't make layouts.

For the transparent background thing, you COULD use the opacity css attribute, but that's against the rules and makes text transparent too if you don't waste yet another div, so don't do that, just use an image editing program (like GIMP) to make it transparent.

For tutorials, just wait for Blumiere, it's inevitable that he's gonna post here sooner or later and he always knows some good tutorials, because he's lame and needs to use them all the time to make the simplest of things because he's so extremely stupid and dumb and doesn't know how to computer that he can't even make a single good looking layout without looking up every single thing about css ever he doesn't even know how to make a black border without looking it up that's how primitive his tiny brain is.

You could also use rgba, which iirc is supported in all major browsers, and doesn't have the quirks of the opacity css attribute.

rgba only works for transparent colours and breaks in IE9.
Sorry what I meant with the layout being different from websites is, with layout it's more:
Code
<tag>color:#FF00CC; border:1px black dotted;</tag> etc.

but with websites it's more
Code
<!doctype html> <html> <head> <title> *Title* </title> <..style type="text/css"> *Stuff Here* <../style> </head> <body> *Stuff Here* </body> </html>

So the layout of the coding itself is a little different from websites coding. though they use the same tags and stuff.

I'll try both suggestions about transparency. (rgba & the opacity CSS Attribute)

With, the centering thing i meant like centereing text within a .html document. I have found out though since this thread. (Using the <...center><.../center> tags...)

Besides that, that is all. I'll just need to learn Javascript or .php... I don't know which is best so, i'll just choose java i guess.
Unexpected end tag (</tag>) at 236, expected </div>
Unexpected end tag (</title>) at 438, expected </div>
Unexpected end tag (</head>) at 523, expected </div>
Unexpected end tag (</body>) at 554, expected </div>
Unexpected end tag (</html>) at 563, expected </div>
Well, technically it's the same for both layouts and html pages, just take out the all head, body, title stuff. Whatever you'd put between the body tags you'd put in the layout.

Also, I think <center> is deprecated or something. Use text-align: center instead. for example:

Code
<div style="text-align:center;">aaaaa</div>

By <tag> you mean <style> right, because otherwise that doesn't make any sense (or is inline css, which is written <tag style="css here">blabla</tag>

If you mean this for SMWC, then uh, javascript (don't call it "java", java and javascript are COMPLETELY different) is disabled here and php only works for dynamic css.
Besides, judging from your posts in this thread so far, I would recommend you learn proper and up-to-date html/css first, really, your skills seem to be pretty sub-par right now (especially after learning it for months as you say).

Again, if this is for SMWC, then no, you are NOT going to try opacity, because that's still against the rules.

okay

I use a bot on freenode called rivvles. I just query it something I'm curious about and it returns related searches and websites I can look at. Like:

<Blumiere> `search float
-rivvles- Found 9 results for query `float`: cf • clear • contain floats • css float • fc • float contain • float containment • float tutorial • floatutorial
<Blumiere> `float contain
<rivvles> Contain floats: http://colinaarts.com/articles/float-containment/


I don't get what's hard about making a layout here if you know how to make a website ... that is, if you actually don't know how to make a website after two months and are just lying to yourself. It's basically a container div and you work from that. If you still can't even code a simple thing like that then ... eh. Keep learning.
Yeah. i was just doing an example with the tag coding thing.

I meant for general website coding.

I am always good at learning complex things but some simple things are challenging at some points. It's strange.

I know html5, isn't that the newest one? I also know some outdated coding admittedly though. I'll come back after learning some more, I suppose.

What? It only breaks in compatibility mode.
