Web Skills

Several month ago, someone ask me how to study about web. She already had heard about it like designing web or put a good user interface in the web but she is still confused how to understand web well.

Basic skill to make a web site

First she need to understand the HTML/XHTML. She should try to make a HTML document from simple to advanced. She needs to know to build basic layout of the document.

Then she needs to give a good style to the HTML through CSS. She can give color or maybe give margin to the layout so the web site looks good.

To make a page more responsive and interactive it needs a client script like javascript and DOM. The scripting provides client side programming and DOM provides the document model that the script manipulates.

After that you need to test it with many browsers. I recomendate use Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox as a standard for testing. Other browsers are OK. It is needed to look at result in the different browser.

Basic internet knowledge such as using FTP or browser needed to do some basic web hosting management. These are important for uploading files, managing folders and setting up environtment on the hosting site.

Spiderman 3

Yesterday, I watched spiderman 3 in theater. It is not good since it is not like comics.
Too many romance and love story. Where is the action ?
I like the visual effect. I think it is very difficult to make it.
Is the enemy died easily? like venom die by sound and bomb ?

Dot Com (.com) or Dot Co Dot id (.co.id)

Many people, forum, service providers and government in Indonesia always argues about it. They always tell the customer or the people about using Dot Com or Dot Co Dot id as a top level domain. They argues and sometimes force to use it in the reason of:

We are Indonesian, so we have to use Dot Co Dot id, not the other else
Service providers like internet or web develoment company argues many things on market, the web become famous, web portfolio or others when they suggest to their customer.
Newspaper, magazine and forum always argues on this.

There is no real solution for this real problem. I just make summary of it:

If choose using Dot Com

• I can register as many as I want depend on my money.
• DNS server is outside Indonesia
• Can use for hosting in Indonesia.
• Most registrant or provider using credit card; most Indonesian credit card cannot use because of “carding”

If choose using Dot Co Dot Id:

• You have to have a taxes number/ NPWP for this.
• DNS server is in Indonesia.
• Cannot use for hosting outside Indonesia.

For my business or personal things I choose Dot Com as TLD for the reason:
It is easy to register, even I will use my credit card or pay more expensive to the registrant to get the domain.
Internet is a WWW not just IWW(Indonesian Wide Web).
I usually use web hosting in USA or europe that is cheaper than Indonesia with the same features.

Creating column layout with same height using CSS.

It is easy to make layout with table. Just drag and drop from the tools or code html directly. I like to make it using DIV and CSS.

First make 2 files of HTML and CSS. (I like to separate HTML and CSS files to make  my web clear).

First make HTML with 1 div and 3 divs inside it.

<html>

<head>

<title> Column layout using CSS</title>

</head>

<body>

 <div class=”container”>
     <div class=”left”> Hello column left</div>
     <div class=”center”> Hello column center</div>
     <div class=”right”>Hello column right</div>

</div>

</body>

</html>

And the CSS is :

div.container
{
   overflow:hidden;
   height:100%;

} 

div.container div
{
   padding-bottom: 30000px;
   margin-botton:-30000px;

}

div.left
{
   float:left;
   background-color:yellow;

}

div.center
{
  float:left;
  padding-left:5px;

}

div.right
{
  float:right;
  background-color:pink;

}

 

You can add many lines on columns and the height on left, center and right are increase and have equal height.

You can specify the column height by changing the css of div.container heights value to xxx px. If the line you add more than the specified height, it will crop.
