    HTML hints and questions for Dynasty sites

    With the new College and NFL Football seasons approaching, everyone's gearing up for their Franchise or Dynasty sites. I've gotten a few questions about how to add the pictures with the text underneath into a story, and from that came up with this thread. I'm sure there are others out there with questions, and there are people, like myself, who know HTML and are willing to help people out. Feel free to post a 'how'd they do that' or 'how can I do that' question here, and we'll try and answer it.

    Here's how to do the picture and subtitle to picture. I stole this from someone else, if you ever see anything cool on a site, choose the "Page Source" option in the view menu and you can find the raw HTML for that section of document.

    <font class="small">Code:</font><hr /><pre> &lt;table cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0 border=0 align=right&gt;
    &lt;tr&gt;
    &lt;td&gt;
    &lt;img src="http://mgoblue.com/images/athletes/carr.jpg" alt="Carr" border=0 vspace=4 align=right&gt;
    &lt;/td&gt;
    &lt;/tr&gt;
    &lt;tr&gt;
    &lt;td&gt;
    &lt;font face="verdana, arial, geneva" size=1 color=#666666&gt;
    &lt;b&gt;Lloyd Carr&lt;/b&gt;
    &lt;/font&gt;
    &lt;/td&gt;
    &lt;/tr&gt;
    &lt;/table&gt; </pre><hr />

    here's the HTML to add the Pic of Lloyd Carr, with text that says "Lloyd Carr" underneath. Basically you are creating two 'cells' in a table, or a one column, two row table.

    In the top cell you put the image, in the bottom cell you put the text. &lt;table&gt; creates the table (align="right" means right justification, border="0" means no visible borders), &lt;tr&gt; creates a row in that table, &lt;td&gt; creates a column in that row.

    &lt;img src="$file" align="right"&gt; creates an image with the source of $file (a http:// type source, as in the example above). &lt;/td&gt; ends that column we created, &lt;/tr&gt; ends that row we created.

    &lt;tr&gt; creates a new row, &lt;td&gt; creates a new column. &lt;font&gt; sets the font options for the text that follows (I must admit I'm not too sure on that option, I'd have to look it up online).

    We see the text we want to show (&lt;b&gt; means bold), &lt;/font&gt; to end the font changes, &lt;/td&gt; to end the column, &lt;/tr&gt; to end the row, and &lt;/table&gt; to end the table.


    I know this probably sounds confusing, but I hope it helps you guys customize your dynasties more. Just enter this code into the story and it will show up. It usually takes me a few times to mess around with the aligns (you can do "left", "right", and "center"), and other options out there.

    Feel free to ask for clarifications on stuff, I know I'm not the best teacher, especially if you know no HTML whatsoever. I also didn't explain every option, either ask here or there are also HTML tutorials which can help.

          Thanks Blue! I am doing this for the first year and am an HTML moron. I do have frontpage but I'm pretty much an idiot with that as well.

          I'm still working on my 'front' page so I can link my other news articles to that. Thanks again for your assistance!

                Re: HTML hints and questions for Dynasty sites

                I have a question. ON my frontpage the schedule is all way on the right and in the middle of the page. This is something from the site itself that I cannot seem to control. Yet others have moved their schedule to the top or removed it completely. Any ideas?

                CHECK IT OUT HERE

                Also in my game recaps at the bottom the 'other recaps' get into my stats.

                HERE IS A BOX SCORE EXAMPLE CHECK BOTTOM BY INTERCEPTON STATS

                Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

                      I'm not totally sure how to help, because I don't use DC, and therefore don't know what things they do automatically for you, and what you do yourself with HTML...I'll have to think about it a bit more
