Common questions about the DreamCodes HTML Framework.
+ expand all
A HTML framework is a library of HTML/CSS files that are used to make development of standards-based XHTML and CSS web pages quicker and easier. A framework typically includes a collection of pre-designed CSS styles, scripts and web apps ready for immediate use.
Shortcodes are pre-defined HTML/CSS codes. By adding a few line lines of codes to your webpages you can
embed YouTube videos, add clickable buttons, twitter feeds or stylize your HTML tables! These are just some of the 1500+ shortcode functions available in the DreamCodes HTML Framework. To use a shortcode, simply copy the codes to your HTML document!
Shortcode Example:
Current code:
Visit Google :
To buttonize this, we include the required <CSS+JS> files and then call one of the many available "button" shortcode styles.
Updated code:
The browser will now render the code as:
Visit Google
Copy this code and paste it into your HTML document. Make sure you also add all necessary CSS/JS scripts! That's it!
Note: Make sure you include the jQuery library if any <javascript> tags are called.
<script type="text/javascript" src="dreamcodes/jquery-1.7.2.min.js"></script>

Run through this checklist:
2) Did you ensure the included/declared Javascript & CSS files are placed within the <HEAD> section of your webpage?
3) Did you include/declare the Javscript jQuery library file? Make sure it is called before any other JS file.
4) Make sure you haven't included/declared any Javascript library files twice.
5) Make sure your webpage is XHTML / HTML5 compliant. Your webpage should start with:
6) Are your file paths correct? Your web pages should be placed in the primary template folder.
Example:
If the dreamcodes folder is located: c:\templates\dreamcodes\
your webpages should be placed in c:\templates\
- 1) Did you include/declare all necessary Javascript & CSS files for that shortcode?
Ensure contents under the "CSS/JS files" toggle are copied.
e.g. DataGrid shortcode:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="dreamcodes/datagrid/css/tsc_datagrid.css" /> <script type="text/javascript" src="dreamcodes/datagrid/js/tsc_datagrid.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="dreamcodes/jquery.min.js"></script>
<!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en"> <head>
Example:
If the dreamcodes folder is located: c:\templates\dreamcodes\
your webpages should be placed in c:\templates\
Yes, use the following codes to clear a line. This is useful in instances where <br /> fails to clear a line for a shortcode.
