HTML - Creating A Website
Hello All,
I am looking to create a website very similar to this http://www.loserstatus.com/ that is my friends site and I currently have this www.canapictures.com . I like how simple his layout is but it looks sooo much better than mine lol. He hired someone to build it so he has no idea how it was made. Does anyone know if there is a template or something I can use to make something similar, I mainly just want the scrolling box with pictures that are linked to videos like he has on the top of the page below the banner. Similar TutorialsThis will be my first website, aside of simple projects from my school class. A friend of mine has a website that is currently already up an running. He would like the site completely re-done, as he moved his company, has new offers, etc. Is the best way to do it, to re-write/edit from scratch, or to use a free website builder? I have beginners html/css/Javascript writing knowledge, and have been searching online when I need help. Let's say he already has a website called www.5star.com If I use a free website builder, will I be able to transfer all that to his domain name he already has so it doesnt become something like www.freewebsite/hostme/5star.com ? He is getting the FTP info from the guy who originally made his site. Thank you. (I have been working it from scratch and have a lot done, but want it to look great, and not just a plain static site). Hi, I'm looking to create a simple booking form on a html website.

I'm setting up a form for online donations for the organization I work for and we're using Paypal to receive the donations. The problem is that I need to be able to let people designate their donations to specific projects and such but Paypal won't do that. I know that I can set up a form on our website that allows them to select the different projects, put in the amounts and then have a box at the bottom giving the total donation. The problem I have is that whenever they fill out this form and move on to the Paypal payment page, they have to re-enter the total donation on the Paypal payment page. I want to eliminate this step, if possible. My question is this: Is there a way to have the total donation amount copied and pasted onto the Paypal payment page so they wouldn't have to re-enter it? Thanks for your help in this matter! Jason Hi, I was wondering if i could receive some help creating a blog-type website.

I want to build a website that when first entering the website asks for a user name and password. Then depending on which username they enter it goes to their page. On the page a want like a form that they can enter information to and save a text file or something on to the server that they can access at a later date and edit and save again. I want to be able to view this file. How can I do this? Thanks for the help Hello I'm not sure if this is in the right section, but I'm trying to figure out how to make my website more easily maintainable. EG On my site there is a bar on every page with my "latest updates", every time I want to add an update I have to add it to every page which is tiresome. I was wondering if I can just have this bar point to a text file on every page so I can just update this one file and it will be displayed on all pages. Hopefully this isn't too difficult, thanks. Hi people! I am semi-new to html, and have tried to figure this one out on myself, but it just doesn't seem to work! So I am trying to create a layout for my photo blog, with these standards: * images that I post auto-resize to squares [100*100] * when you click on the image it will show you the full sized version optional: * on the homepage you get the option to click on 'ANALOG' and 'DIGITAL' That's all! It can't be that hard right, am I over-seeing something? I want to use this layout on tumblr, blogger, wordpress, or any other free platform! I have a link right here to give you an idea of what I'm talking about: http://www.oscaralexander.com/lomo/lowlands-08-08/html/ [they aren't squares, I know] Well Iam a Owner of RsIllusion The next Biggest Rs Fansite/help Community Forum Iam trying to Host a Easy and Free Website that Allow me to Add Runescape Price Checker ( a tools that let people put in Rs item and it tell you how much it cost At the moment) like the one in Zybez.com and a Tools helping people Design a Rs Signature and Treasure Trail Locator I wonder if there any Html Code that is Fully Work For Runescape Price Checker ( like Zybez) Runescape Quest ( like Tip.it) Treasure Trail Locator Anything that Good for a Rs Help Site Thanks if you know please reply I am working on a website that deals with a form for an electronic check. I pretty much know how to do the code for getting the values, etc, I just do not know how to create the actual forms. I have to create the pages in Visual Studio 2008. Here is what I have to create: The first image explains what is supposed to be in each field of the form. The second image is what it is supposed to look like after the user inputs information to the form. And here is what the result is supposed to be after the user clicks the preview button: So like I said, I know how to do most of the coding, I just have no idea how to manipulate Visual Studio to make the forms look like, or at least similar to, the pictures I posted. I have experience in html and css and some in javascript. So that is not really the issue. I just do not know Visual Studio too well. It seems like there is something easy and/or obvious that I am missing. I played around with VS for several hours earlier and I could not make anything that looked similar the images. Any help is greatly appreciated. Hi, I am trying to find a way in which a website that is linked on my homepage can be opened while keeping at least one form of my homepage open as well. e.g.: Google images :http://images.google.com/imgres?imgu...en-us%26sa%3DG sorry for the massive link. Hope you get the idea. So what i want is to have a bar on top that is my homepage (like the google bar in the link), but the rest is the actual website that has been linked. I don't really care much about the url. It doesn't have to be my homepage url, it can be the actual website url. Google has been able to do that somehow, so it is possible. I would just like to know how and if it is hard to do. If someone knows how to do it, it would be great if you could give me a link to a tutorial, or explain it. thanks Hi How to add a website counter to my website.

I want to know the code. There are number of websites that are offering this but they put their advertisement which I don't want I have some links (in the header, the SUPPORTERS) to different websites, but when I click on them the address in the address bar does not change to the address of the website that I clicked. How do I make it show the address that I clicked on? Thanks. http://www.ac.wwu.edu/~fencing/ I am a total noob but volunteered to administrate the website, because there was no one else to do it. hello, i need a website for german customers, somethign like www.podmod.de because i would like to offer the same. So if anyone has an idea where to start, or even can offer me something i can buy, please do so. my email: verenamueller999@web.de thanks verena. 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.. 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> |
