    Hi!

    I´m making a site where on one page i need to place many pics after another downwards. How can this be done? do i use styles to make them or html. And in general how do i place an image on a page. I´ve just started to handcode so these things are new to me, it was so easy to place an image in DW. :)

    thanks in advance!

    download a free html editor with a wysiwyg interface. It will save you hours.

    And there are "many ways to skin a cat", at the bare minimum a <br /> will do the trick.

    Place it in your HTML code:

    <img src="picture1.jpg" alt="Description of Picture 1" />
    <br />
    <img src="picture2.jpg" alt="Description of Picture 2" />

    Before you even ask your question, safely remove Notepad from your Windows and go back to Dreamweaver ;)

    With simple codes there will be no problem for Notepad. But once you gather some HTML/CSS experience, you'll realise you'll need to move on and get some PHP expertise, too. You will soon find yourself working with files that contain hundreds if not thousands of lines of code. All black on white.

    - Dreamweaver will render the code in different colors so that you can "read" it easier
    - Dreamweaver will prompt when you have an error in the code (you'll notice markups will break if you do something wrong)
    - Dreamweaver will provide you with the tag autocomplete functin that will help you code much faster
    - Dreamweaver gives you a powerfult Find & Replace tool with different options, including search through multiple files at once
    - Dreamweaver will do lots more

    Now question is... What does Notepad have to offer? Learning to code in Notepad is something I would not call a heroic deed. It's unnecessary when you got tools especially built to help much better.

    If you don't like all the bells & whistles in Dreamweaver interface (my case)
    just switch to the Developer interface in DW settings, and close the sidebars.

    Stay away from Notepad for purposes other than saving notes,
    or your potential customers will be waiting ages for you to develop quality websites :)

    Clive...That´s exactly what I want to do...learn everything there is to learn...Due to the stupidity in my teenage years i never educated myself too much. But now in my "adult" years i´ve regretted that, and now because lack of education, i´ve tried to educate by myself and through small courses. i cannot afford to go to school, because i have 2 children and a house payment. Therefore the self-education, and one day i hope i can start my own business. :)

    Hi Lukas,

    I have just sent you a PM, would surely take a look into this.
    Just get back with the details I requested if that is fine.

    Cheers.
