HTML/CSS How can I implement a website using HTML and CSS without functionality?

Click For Summary
To implement a website using HTML and CSS without functionality, one can either use a web design editor or write directly in text files. Key components include using the <style> tag in the <head> section for CSS and structuring content within the <body> section using HTML elements. Issues discussed include the proper use of attributes like rowspan in tables and the importance of setting image dimensions to control layout. The conversation also highlights the use of padding for spacing and the necessity of linking to valid image sources. Overall, the thread emphasizes foundational HTML and CSS techniques for creating a static website layout.

Which words? (Wondering)

If I write in the content.php file a greek word in place of "Phones" for example and then I give this word as an input in the searchbox, it is not identified and it gives the result that this input is not in the content file. But this happens only if I change "Phones" to an other word in greek. So it is related with the language, or not? 🧐

What are you displaying in the search button? (Wondering)

Inside the button part I write the word "Αναζήτηση" but the result is as I showed above. Do we have to define the greek language first? 🤔

Which php content are you matching with the search input? (Wondering)

I check if the input is one of the top level words of the content.php file. 🧐

To match the Greek version, we can can first do $language["Phones"] = " Τηλέφωνα".
And then match it with if ($deviceType == $language[$search]) { ... } instead of if ($deviceType == $search) { ... }. 🤔

No. I believe it means that your .php file has the wrong encoding. (Shake)
It should be in UTF-8.
Which editor do you use to edit the .php file? (Wondering)
I use Notepad++, which has a menu option Encoding, which shows that it is encoded in UTF-8.

Do you only want so find exact matches for one of the top level words?
Or also if the search string occurs in for instance the description of a device? (Wondering)

Does this translation mean that if the at the content.php file we have "Phones"and if the input is "Τηλέφωνα" then it should be recognized as the same thing?
I don't mean it in this way. I mean that if in the content.php file I have a greek word, for example "Τηλέφωνα" and the input is "Τηλέφωνα" then I get a message that this product doesn't exist. But if I have in the content.php file the english word "Phones" and the input is "Phones" then I get the message that product exists. So the program desn't "understand" the greek language? 🤔

I use Notepad, and at "Save as"at EncodingIalsohae UTF-8. So shouldn't the greek letters be correctly encoded? 🤔

Just in the top-level words.

Ah right. (Blush)
I meant it the other way around.
It should be if ($language[$deviceType] == $search) { ... }. 🤔

Alternatively, we could invert the translation and use for instance $english["Τηλέφωνα"] = "Phones". 🤔

I guess so... I tested it and it worked just fine for me.
That is, I have an action.php that is encoded in UTF-8 that echoes Greek text.
And my browser shows the Greek text correctly.

Suppose you right click on the page in the browser with the output of action.php, select Inspect Element, select the Console tab sheet, and reload the page .
Does it give any errors related to character encodings? (Wondering)
Now that I think about it, we should probably add <meta charset="UTF-8"> in the <head></head> section of the html page that action.php generates.
This w3schools page says that the default used to be the character set ISO-8859-1, so perhaps your browser uses that default.

There is only one, isn't there?
I've seen only "Phones".
Or are there more? (Wondering)

I think we need foreach($content as $deviceType => $deviceAttributes) for the top level. 🧐

Do we define this in this way because we have an array of arrays? Or in this way we define every array-element? 🤔

It's not an array of arrays. (Shake)
Instead it's because the array is of the form [ key => value, key => value ] as opposed to [ value, value ]. 🤔

An array of arrays would be of the form [ [ value, value ], [ value, value ] ], but that is not what we have.
