Thanks for your help in advance.

Hello, I am just learning HTML and are using HTML-KIT. I am wondering
if HTML-Kit has a bunch of templates to choose from to build a website.
I see that Frontpage a bunch of templates to choose from. If not are
there any good sites that have some templates to choose from?

thanks,

Mark

HTML-Kit has some templates that come with the program, but, one of the
good things about the program is you can make your own templates. I
usually start with something like:

<div id="header">
<!--#include file="header.inc"-->
</div>
<div id="menu">
<!--#include file="menu.inc" -->
</div>
<div id="content">
<h1>Page title</h1>
</div>
<div id="footer">
<!--#include file="footer.inc"-->
</div>

Actually, I usually put the div elements for the header, menu and footers
in the include files themselves. I apply CSS to each of the div elements.
Then, I save the template and work with it when ever I need a new page
with that template.

<http://www.chami.com/html-kit/support/docs/pages/h000147.html> might be
of interest as it helps you create templates. You might also want to
look into CSS templates, as this is probably what you're going to need.

learning HTML by looking for ready-to-use templates is a dead-end.
instead look at the code your program provides and look at the code you
see on the net. that way, all sites become a template for you and you
learn HTML instead of a collector of more of the same.

Mark,

Load Mozilla Firefox, with the HTML Validation extension, on your PC and
browse for sites with 0 errors and 0 warnings. They will be the best
templates you'll ever find on the Internet from coders that care about the
standards. You can even go a step further and load the Checky extension to
see just how far some have gone to make their sites universally compatible.

Cheers,

Del Ferguson
