HTML - I Have Problems Creating A Text Box

Does anyone know of maybe a Java script or some something that anchores the layers (makes the layers stay in the middle even if the resolution changes). Because i have a website (http://israelat60.zxq.net) and when i look at it in a resolution higher then 1024 by 768 the text is not in place.

Thanks for you time and help

So we have this old website that we're updating and in our updates we've found that the text will now run over the margins (into our pretty white space). We don't want it to pass the blue tab that says "Contact". Any ideas?

Also how can I remove the underline in "Click to Enter"?

Having a problem with divisions, as far as i am aware the contents of a division portrays the length of any division. Correct? Is there any way i can make the division wider to enable me to have space either side of my text?

Thanks CW

hi all i,m having a problem with the HTML command alt="hover text"

this seems to work on an image

<img src="c:\documents and settings\admin\my documents\my pictures\thinklogo.gif"alt="hover text"
width="100" height="100">

but i am unable to place it in this piece of code

<a href="http://www.google.com" target="blank"<b style="color:green">google</b>

i am a noob at html and not sure if it can be used with a link.
any help would be appreciated.

this is my page http://web.vtc.edu/users/cjb06271/CI...nal/order.html

there are several things I would like to happen.
1. the right collumn background to be where the right collumn should be(so other links in navbar)
2.The test between the roach pictures to be alligned with the top rather than bottom of pictures (so smaller windows can see)
3. When you size the window smaller than the text, a scroll bar appears, and when you scroll the background no longer exists. If I put it on auto the background will only go as far as the text does.
4. (nice but not required)The cocroachs to be alligned to the left and right of the top bar respectively, and the text in the middle.
5. (nice but not required) the right column background image is being cut in half (as does the top one if you size small enough). any way to make the images ignore the collumns?
don't worry about the colors I will be changing them soon

If anyone could take the time to answer this then much appreciated, it's pretty easy to read through, the php code is very basic and repeats itself in most places..

To create a CMS in PHP, is the best way to do it to save sections of the html to either say either a db or text file. This seems a bit messy but maybe the best way, for example say i have this html and i want to have a user be able to add more images to their page by just uploading an image and clicking a button ........,

HTML Code:

<table>
   <tr>
    
     <td> <img src = "i1.jpg" ></td>

   </tr>
</table>

Now i could save,

HTML Code:

<table>
   <tr>

to say text1.txt

and

HTML Code:

</tr>
</table>

to text2.txt,

and the images to say text3.txt,

HTML Code:

 <td> <img src = "i1.jpg" ></td>

i could then say something like,

PHP Code:
<?php

$fname = "text1.txt";

$fo = fopen($fname,r);

$fr1 = fread($fo,filesize($fname));

fclose($fo);


$fname = "text2.txt";

$fo = fopen($fname,r);

$fr2 = fread($fo,filesize($fname));

fclose($fo);


$fname = "text3.txt";

$fo = fopen($fname,r);

$fr3 = fread($fo,filesize($fname));

fclose($fo);

$f_final=   $fr1.$fr3.$fr2;

echo $f_final;

?>


This would put the contents of all 3 text files into a single variable $f_final so that all i would need to do if i needed a new image added is add that images html to text3.txt.

This seems like a pretty good way of doing things, i assume this is how CMS systems are made pretty much??

So basically i could have a user frontend "addimg.html" which is for adding the image,


HTML Code:

<form method="post" action ="newimage.php">

<input tpye = "text" name = "img1">
<input type = "submit">

</form>

and then a modified version of the above php,

PHP Code:
<?php

//save new image name to text3.txt ***********
$newimgge_to_ADD = $_POST["img1"];

$fname = "text3.txt";

$fo = fopen($fname,a);

fwrite($fo,"\r\n".'<td> <img src = "'.$newimgge_to_ADD.'.jpg"> </td>');

fclose($fo);
//**********************

//Open all the text files one by one and save their contents to a variable *****
$fname = "text1.txt";

$fo = fopen($fname,r);

$fr1 = fread($fo,filesize($fname));

fclose($fo);


$fname = "text2.txt";

$fo = fopen($fname,r);

$fr2 = fread($fo,filesize($fname));

fclose($fo);


$fname = "text3.txt";

$fo = fopen($fname,r);

$fr3 = fread($fo,filesize($fname));

fclose($fo);

//******************

//Combine the contents of all 3 varables to one varable f_final  **********

$f_final=   $fr1.$fr3.$fr2;

//*********************

//Print out the result *********************

echo $f_final;

//**************************


?>

This would need a good bit of tweaking but i just want to know if i am on the right tracks..

I have several websites that I maintain and update. A lot of them are just textual changes and I would think my customers can do these themselves by editing a simple .txt file.

I was hoping my choices are avalable so that I can just insert this tag into my web pages and then give them login info to their edit page or show them how to upload the .txt file.

I hope this is an easy one with several answers.

Is it possible these tags could discipline your rankings in the search engines?

Thanks,
Jason

here is the (ineffective) code currently:

<img style="float: left; width: 169px; height: 73px;" src="img/logo1.png" alt="" />
<h1 style="text-align: center;">random text</h1>

the image shifts the left margin such that the text is centered as though the page width was 169px less than it really is.

i'm not debating the code itself; the code above behaves as its meant to. aka no surprises. i just cant figure out the appropriate code to center the text across the entire real width of the page as though there was no image.

i've tried div tags & all the things google hunting advised. no luck. other than finding this forum, which seems like it'll be a boon!

thanx in advance for advise/comments/feedback/help.

Hi All,
I am new to this forum and is expecting an answer for this question. I have implemented a facebook type search to the database which displays the familiar text saved in the database when I type some text in the database. My issue is after I have used the search box for a couple of time the text box starts displaying a similar dropdown from its history which hides my database search. Does anyone know how to disable it using html or css. See the attached Image if my question is not clear.

Hi:
I wish to create a 'blog' that *I* control, and where the blog content would reside on my own Apache Server at my home.

Is this reasonable and/or easy to do, OR should I use a commercial blog site (e.g., www.blogger.com)

For example, I'd like my visitors to access my site (www.myblogsite.org) and then 'Vent their Spleens' on the subject of interest (which will be Heallthcare in the USA and its prospects for change, and the rantings about 'socialism' on the Fox Channel).

Thanks for any guidance.

Hello. =)

I'd like to create a web form, but I don't understand scripting languages (yet)...so I need a user-friendly, WYSIWYG form creator [*] . I have FrontPage 2003, but that's not "WYSIWYG"-enough for me. Plus I heard that FrontPage isn't that great when it comes to coding things.

I also want my form creator to let me:

-Insert "special fields/code" (see #1, #2, #3 and #4 - from DynamicDrive.com)

-Validate all email addresses typed in the form

-Send results to my email, and store certain fields/answers to an Excel document

-Hide my email address from spambots (it's called "encrypting", right?)


There are websites that'll make the form for me, but I want to host the finished form (and accompanying files) on MY OWN SERVER. The best site I could find (phpFormGenerator) will let me download everything. But it'll also post my forms -- and files -- in public. So my email address, database info, etc. will be available for spambots and hackers. =\

Thanks in advance!

[*] I'd prefer a freeware creator. If you know some good shareware, I ONLY want one that lets me create a fully-functional (ad-free, watermark free, 100% working for life) web form. I don't care if it expires in 30 days...as long as I get my one form made, no strings attached.

PS: Since I'm a complete n00b when it comes to web forms, I have a few more questions to ask (mostly database related). But I'll do that later.

Hi everyone,

Thank god I found this forum. My HTML experience is pretty limited and something has been driving me insane trying to figure out how to do.

All I want to do is create a form that when filled out the information is sent to my email. I thought this is how I write it

HTML Code:

<form action="MAILTO:me@myemail.com" method="post" enctype="text/plain">

<input type="######">
<br>
<input type="######">
<br>
<input type="######">
<br>
<input type="submit" value="Send">

</form>

Then that information would be sent to my email. When I try it out all it does is open up my outlook account with the details in there.

Please someone help before my monitor goes flying out the window.

Cheers

Popup Windows: The Basics

We'll begin the tutorial by creating a basic popup window. The technique described here addresses all the major issues in popups. The popup always comes to the front. Different links can target the same popup. The code is simple and easily modified. Everything for the rest of the turorial is a variation on the theme described here. The code in this page creates a popup that is opened from a link. In this section we'll show the code with just the minimal description you need to get it going.

First, copy this script into the <HEAD> section of your page:

HTML Code:

<SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript">
<!--
function popup(mylink, windowname)
{
if (! window.focus)return true;
var href;
if (typeof(mylink) == 'string')
   href=mylink;
else
   href=mylink.href;
window.open(href, windowname, 'width=400,height=200,scrollbars=yes');
return false;
}
//-->
</SCRIPT>

For now we'll skip the details of how the script works, and move to the next step. The script above opens the popup, but something needs to run the script. The most common situation is that the script is run when the user clicks on a link. A link like the following would run the script:

HTML Code:

<A 
   HREF="popupbasic.html" 
   onClick="return popup(this, 'notes')">my popup</A>

Most of the link is as usual. The URL of the page being linked to is in the HREF attribute. We've added an additional attribute called onClick. Copy the code as it is into your link, with only a small modification. The second argument of the popup() -- 'notes' -- indicates name of the popup window. Every popup window should have its own unique name. Be sure to put the name in single quotes (''). So if you want to name the popup 'stevie' then this would be the code:

HTML Code:

<A HREF="popupbasic.html" onClick="return popup(this, 'stevie')">my popup</A>

Read This Next Part Or You'll Go Insane Trying to Figure Out Why Your Popup Doesn't Work

A small but crucial point is often overlooked. The command in onClick must begin with return or the script won't work. Be sure to start the command with return like this:
HTML Code:

onClick="return popup(this, 'notes')"

And don't put a space in the page name between the single quotes. If you do, the link will act just like a regular link.

Popup Windows: From an Image Map

In our first variation we'll open the popup from an image map instead of from a regular anchor. We'll use the same script as from our first example. With that script, an <AREA ...> tag in an image map can be made to open a popup in exactly the same way as an <A ...> tag:

HTML Code:

<MAP NAME="index">
<AREA 
   HREF="mypopup.html" ALT="My Popup"
   COORDS="10,10,120,120" SHAPE=RECT 
   onClick="return popup(this, 'gloss')">
<AREA 
   SHAPE=RECT ALT="Your Popup"
   COORDS="140,10,180,50" HREF="yourpopup.html" 
   onClick="return popup(this, 'gloss')">

<AREA SHAPE=DEFAULT NOHREF>
</MAP>

<IMG SRC="mymap.gif" HEIGHT=130 WIDTH=190 ALT="Image Map Example"
BORDER="0" USEMAP="#index">

Popup Windows: Opening Automatically

In the first two examples (Popup Windows: The Basics and Popup Windows: From an Image Map) the popup is opened when the user clicks on something. In this example the popup opens automatically.

We'll use the same script as in the first example. Copy this script in the <HEAD> section of your page:

HTML Code:

<SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript">
<!--
function popup(mylink, windowname)
{
if (! window.focus)return true;
var href;
if (typeof(mylink) == 'string')
   href=mylink;
else
   href=mylink.href;
window.open(href, windowname, 'width=400,height=200,scrollbars=yes');
return false;
}
//-->
</SCRIPT>

This time, instead of running the script from a link we'll run it from the onLoad attribute of the <BODY ...> tag.

HTML Code:

<BODY onLoad="popup('autopopup.html', 'ad')">

The command in onLoad is run when the document is finished loading. Like in our previous example, the command runs popup(), but this time the first argument for popup() is a little different. In the previous example we put this, meaning the link itself, and the script got the URL from the link. In this case there is no link so we pass the actual URL to open. So in our example we put 'autopopup.html'.

Popup Windows: From a Form

For our next variation on the popup theme we're going to open the popup from a form. In this example we're going to change the script around. The following script is custom designed for opening a popup from a form. It works with forms that use both POST and GET. Copy the following script exactly as-is into the <HEAD> section of your document:

HTML Code:

<SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript">
<!--
function popupform(myform, windowname)
{
if (! window.focus)return true;
window.open('', windowname, 'height=200,width=400,scrollbars=yes');
myform.target=windowname;
return true;
}
//-->
</SCRIPT>

Now we'll add some code so that the popup opens when the user submits the form. Add an onSubmit attribute to <FORM ...> tag:

HTML Code:

<FORM METHOD=POST
   ACTION="../cgi-bin/mypopupcgi.pl"
   onSubmit="popupform(this, 'join')">

The first argument for popupform() is always this, meaning the form itself. The second argument, 'join' in this case, is a unique name for the popup.

Popup Windows: Targeting the Opener

Once a popup window has been created, linking from the popup back to the main window (i.e. the window which opened the popup) is a little trickier than might be expected. The problem is that the main window doesn't have a "name" the way the popup window does. Fortunately, JavaScript provides an answer in the form of opener.

To create links in the popup window that target back to the main window, first put this JavaScript in the <HEAD> of the popup page:

HTML Code:

<SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript">
<!--
function targetopener(mylink, closeme, closeonly)
{
if (! (window.focus && window.opener))return true;
window.opener.focus();
if (! closeonly)window.opener.location.href=mylink.href;
if (closeme)window.close();
return false;
}
//-->
</SCRIPT>

A link that uses this script looks like this:

HTML Code:

<A 
   HREF="rbex.html" 
   onClick="return targetopener(this)">my page</A>

Popup Windows: Closing When They Go to the Opener

In the previous example the link in the popup targets the main page, but the popup stays open in the background after the user clicks on the link. In this page we'll set the link so that it closes the popup after the click.

targetopener takes three parameters. The first is always this, meaning the link itself. The second and third parameters are optional and default to false. (Notice we don't use them in the example above, we'll get to them shortly.) The second parameter indicates if the popup should close. The third is if the link should actually send the opener to the linked resource, or if the opener should just get the focus regardless of what its current page is. The third parameter provides a safe way to close the popup after closing, but still having a link to an existing page if the window isn't actually a popup (such as if the user found the page through a search engine).

When the user clicks on the link, targetopener checks if the browser has the focus command (a few older browsers don't) and if the current window was opened by another window. If these conditions are true, then the opener window gets the focus, the opener is directed to the referenced URL, and the script returns false. Because the function returns false, the link does not go on to the URL (the script has already done that). Note that the link which targets the opener is a little different than the link that opened the popup window to begin with. In this link, onClick says "return goOpener(this)"... the links on the previous pages did not use return.

By default, the popup window stays open but is in the background. If you want the popup to close after going back to the opener, add a second parameter of true to the targetopener function call:

HTML Code:

<A 
   HREF="rbex.html" 
   onClick="return targetopener(this,true)">main page</A>

Ok so i've built plenty of general websites using fairly basic html and they've all been pretty successful and people have been pleased but now I need to build an online shop for myself and i'm not 100% I have the know how to do it (but I can't afford to get it done elsewhere so eek I need to try..)

Is it safe to create a webshop and integrate a checkout system using plain old html?
There is now way to disable source viewing from what I understand...

And if so, can anyone suggest a really easy to understand and integrate checkout to go for? This is the point that has really confused and made me a bit unsure if i'm able to do this. There's so many that it would be good to know of a UK one that I shold be able to get to grips with!

Thanks
