HTML - Problems With <a> Linking And Testing On Local Network
So I am pretty new to HTML/CSS (been learning for about a week now)
I thought I had everythign down, but I ran into a problem with <a> and linking through my site. My directory is set up like this on my local network: when I link from loung.html to elixir.html I used the following code: Code: <a href="beverages/elixir.html">elixirs</a> But when I test those pages on my local network, the pages do not appear(when i click the link that I made). Is it because I am testing on local network, is the code wrong, or am I doing something else that I am not aware of? Thanks in advance Similar TutorialsI'm currently trying to make a website that uses paypal. Here's what I have so far. 1 - User Clicks "buy now" button 2- User is redirected to paypal 3-User completes payment 4- User is SUPPOSED to be redirected to my site. Since I am hoping to test this page offline, I have my site in a local file. I need to use the return command on the "buy now" button so that paypal returns the user to my site, however, since I am just testing (using paypal's sandbox) I want it to return me to a local file on my hard drive. Apparently Firefox has a security feature that will not allow you to link to local files, but I was hoping to bypass this feature. Is there anyway I can do this? I have firefox 2.0. Thanks! Hi, I have never coded HTML before and I thought I'd give it a try over the last couple of days. I'm trying to put a link to a PDF on my page and it works great in Firefox but does nothing at all in IE. Does anyone know why? Also, my images won't show up in IE, but again, it works great in Firefox. Any ideas? Thank you.

My problem is with the security update courtesy of Microsoft and the "Page not displayed" problems it causes. The container and TOC produce fine, but the right pane shows the error. Now, my chm has to be stored on a network and will be viewed by over 500 people on terminals, so I'm unable to load anything onto any local drives, so I can't do the "Unblock" security fix. None of the users will have admin privileges and bearing in mind there are so many machines, I'm also unable to change the registry settings on the machines, so this rules out fix number two. I wonder, is there any code that could be put into the chm itself to confirm it as a valid file, and thus open directly from the network without having to modify each individual pc? Or indeed would anyone know of a script that could be run from the network to update everyone's machines all at once? If none of these work, I guess I'm reduced to producing plain HTML files, but I'm hoping I can find a workaround as I particularly like the TOC/index/search facilities of HTML help, and the fact I only have to ship a couple of files. I do hope you can help, thanks in advance, Tixuk I need help from people about making my site. i need login forms, chatting, mail, stuff like that. please post comments if you wish to help. I'm Jamie-Grace and I need some help with Network Building - fast! I run an organization for teens with Tourette Syndrome, like myself, called "teensWts" (Go figure, lol.) and I'm looking to expand it and make it network type site but not just for Tourette Syndrome. I want people to be able to join and create profiles with some of the profiles being "fan profiles" and some of them being profiles for organizations that people can "become fans of". So it would sort of be like how MySpace has music profiles and regular ones and the people with the regular accounts can be fans of the bands except I want my site to be organizations instead of music. I don't know how much time or money (if any money is needed..hopefully not, ha.) this type of thing would take, but I would really appreciate any type of advice in the area. I have been trying to do this for months now and I can't seem to get a good response as far assistance. Thank you so much in advance! To whom may concern I'm looking to build a site that is a networking site. The site will consist of member pages with private messaging with blogging ability as well forum type rooms. I'm versed in the graphic end but have no real understanding of java or advanced html code needed to put something of this magnitude together. If any one could point me in a direction or possible book or two that would help me write something like this i would be forever grateful. Also any one who is looking for a hobby is free to help me out. This is one of those in the long run projects. Need code for myspace to hide "x is in extended network"..just the words, Not the extended network banner itself. hi guys im having a problem with a website aimed to provide satistics of bandwidth utilisation of different lines. The website is set to be autorefreshed every x seconds and while the browser seems to refresh, the statistics remain the same. These statistics are presented in a form of a png image graph and taken from a monitoring pc in the same network. Monitoring pc takes the statistics directly from routers. here is the code: Code: !DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <TITLE>Index Page</TITLE> <!-- Command line is easier to read using "View Page Properties" of your browser --> <!-- But not all browsers show that information. :-( --> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-15" > <META NAME="Command-Line" CONTENT="indexmaker --output=C:\www\index.html gan.cfg" > <META HTTP-EQUIV="Cache-Control" content="no-cache"> <META HTTP-EQUIV="Pragma" CONTENT="no-cache" > <META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="10"> <LINK HREF="favicon.ico" rel="shortcut icon"> <title>Untitled Document</title> </head> <body> <TABLE BORDER=0 CELLPADDING=0 CELLSPACING=10> <tr> <td><DIV><B>Traffic Analysis for Internet</B></DIV> <img src="url-of-monitoring-pc:xxxx/a.a.a.a_3-day.png" alt="name"/> </td> <td><DIV><B>Traffic Analysis </B></DIV> <img src="/url-of-monitoring-pc:xxxx/a.a.a.a._2-day.png" alt="name"/> </td> </tr> <tr> <td><DIV><B>Traffic Analysis Internet </B></DIV> <img src="url-of-monitoring-pc:xxxx/a.a.a.a_12-day.png" alt="name"/> </td> <td><DIV><B>Traffic Analysis for </B></DIV> <img src="/url-of-monitoring-pc:xxxx/a.a.a.a_42-day.png" alt="name"/> </td> </tr> <tr> <td><DIV><B>Traffic Analysis for ADSL </B></DIV> <img src="/url-of-monitoring-pc:xxxx/a.a.a.a_20-day.png" alt="name"/> </td> </tr> </table> </body> </html> As i said before while the browser seems to be refreshed every x seconds but the graphs remain the same until i manually refresh with F5. I think is something wrong with META code at the top. thnx in advance Whenever I want to test a website in Firefox, or Safari, I open up a new window and look at it. But whenever I want to test a different version of IE, I need to upgrade (to IE7) or uninstall (to IE6). It's not difficult, just a waste of time. And it makes it difficult to compare the two side-by-side. Is there a better way to test the various IE versions? Hello. Im a newbe with respect to webdesign, however for my thesis i need to conduct a large sample psychometric test. Viewers will rank a series of images (5 to a page) in order of preference. Once they have ranged those 5 images the webpage needs to go onto the next set of images. I need to gain results on the rankings that people put these images into. Making a webswite to display the images and radio buttons is pretty simple and i can do that easily its the result gathering process that i dont have time to code. Sample size is approximatly 2500 and to be representative id prefer an online one rather than taking that many results myself. In terms of images, there will be 25 image experiments. With each experiment made up of 5 versions of the same image that differ slightly in exposure.; Any help would be much appreciated. Planning to use Matlab to analyse the results. Cheers. Ed Hi All, I have tested my site in IE7, firefox and safari, but i've been told i have a problem with IE6. (Which i can't test without uninstalling IE7) www.lahayna.co.uk I'm told the problem is only with the homepage, and with the media page, I've been given a screenshot which i've attached, but i don't know where to go from here. I've tried checking my CSS to ensure my images, padding and margins don't exceed set widths etc, but i've not made any difference so far. Your help is really appreciated, as i'm not getting any further with this site. Thanks Laura I have the Firefox "Web Developer" extension which allows me to re-size the browser window to view the screen in a resolution like 800x600. It also has a check box named "Viewport", allowing me to re-size to that if I wish. Is the viewport what I should be looking at my site in...and what is it? Also, how do other designers test their site in different resolutions? What's the most practical way? I have a thumb drive that have portable apps on it. I am trying to make a help file in html for each one. The problem I am running into is that i can't seem to make it load pictures. Code: File structure F:\PortableApps\7-Zip\ (Where the help file is) F:\PortableApps\PortableApps.com\App\Graphics\HelpFiles\ (Where the pics are at) What code do i need to make this work? Code: background-image: url(..\PortableApps\PortableApps.com\App\Graphics\HelpFiles\help_background_header.png); Thanks! How to attach a local file to mail with "mail" syntax? Thank you! -gav Hi, I have access to managing a site using Dreamweaver. I need to update a few images and pdf files into a folder located inside the remote view, to be uploaded to the Internet. I can delete the old files from that folder located in the remote view; Can you please explain how do I get the new files inside the remote view so that I can upload them online. I dont have the folders on my deskstop. There is a local view though, but I cannot locate the folder that needs to be updated. Please advise. Thank you In the following code, the image display is inconcsistent: - Firefox: works in all cases - IE7 over Internet: works - IE7 locally: image does not display; I get a placeholder. - IE7 locally on my other computer: works. By "locally", I mean that the HTML file and the image are on my local hard disk; by "Internet", I mean that the HTML file and the image are on the server at my web site service. The image is in the same directory as the HTML file in all cases. Here's the code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN"> <html> <head> <title>My Page</title> </head> <body> <p>Welcome to My Page</p> <img height="231" width="346" border="0" src="roadtrip003.gif"> </body> </html> I suspect an IE7 setting on the offending computer, but I've looked around quite a bit and it ain't obvious to me. Any thoughts? Guys n Gals. Is it possible using HTML to search local folders for files. The scenario: At work we have a networked folder, that is constantly being updated with either txt files or xml files and such. This changes on a daily basis. Is it possible to search using html. I don't wish to build a database, as this would require constant attention. I would like to send out a small HTML page, with our company logo, that references the newtrk location. If so, would anyone know or have the code to do this. Java would also be suitable. hi all, i have created a website presentation for my project with about 1000 pictures with only simple html. The website will not be online and is intended to be use only offline from local disc. I don't know why but the pictures are not cached. Is that a limitation to offline websites? Also when I create simple code with only one picture in it, it's not cached. A I doing something wrong? I'm using IE6. Thanks Boris Hi all, I need to have a link on my web page which allows the user to download a file on the c: drive of my web server. Basically when they click the link they will be prompted to download this file. Any ideas on how this can be done? I tried the following on FF but it does not work... <a href="file:///C:/testUpload/CA_P1470H_2008-1209-143322.xls">major_bob_12-09.xls</a> Thanks in advance for any help. How do I display an excel spreadsheet in a html web page that dynamically changes when the spreadsheet is edited? The spreadsheet on the web page doesn't have to be interactive, it can even just be made of html tables. As long as it updates with the actual spreadsheet. |
