RE: Making a custom tab
yeah, you gonna need that to create your page because the page must grab its info from another internet page. (It isn't static info so you can't make it with html alone). Well, there are other similar languages/methods you could use though, like ASP. But either way, you must know the language to create the page. Or you can ask nicely to someone who knows php to create it for you.....

Ermm... sorry to sound so blunt, but if you don't know how to unzip the file and edit html, then you should learn that first before creating websites (and tabs, which are in a sence just simple websites)

Asking for help is not a bad thing at all.
However, trying to run when you can't walk is....


First learn how to make websites, learn HTML and even PHP (almost always needed for creating tabs as tabs consist almost always of dynamic content). And in the process of learning all that, learn also how to deal with files in a Windows Environment (folders, files, subfolders, moving, copying, deleting, creating, etc...)....

And to learn all that, this isn't the proper place actually...

RE: Making a custom tab
I highly suggest (if you have it) taking the tutorials/lessons one by one in DREAMWEAVER MX that way you will get to know a little html and understand how it works.

Or you can do waht i usually do,if you see something you like or find interesting view the source code of the website {right click->view source on most web browsers} and see how it works.

I'm no genius i usually copy fragments of html from other places or search 'how to ....' in google and then just edit it to how i want it, this way i am getting to grips with html, and i even designed a website for the company i was on work experience for http://www.intronix.co.uk

At your level of experience i suggest using a WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) html editor like microsoft frontpage or macromedia dreamweaver to get a VERY BASIC layout then smartening it up in html mode sometimes i find it less stressful to work in frontpage like this and can solve problems easily ost of the time, however i am not gonna touch my weebl and bob tab with the WYSIWYG editor modes ever i want that to remain an example of html, i have no experience with PHP so i can't help you there, I am also not a programmer (really should get around to uninstalling VB, C++) but i am looking into night courses for c++ at the moment one or two hours a week isn't that bad now is it :)

I am always asking for help or advice on these forums this place is the best forum i belong to its a great world-wide community
*thanks once again everyone* hope i have been of some help.

And now i am gonna go wake up becasue i think i am still asleep, had my slipknot alarm go off to wake me up at 9.30 and i've been on here since, and i've gotta go into town today at 11 meh anyone know how to code a new human body for me?
