HTML - Html-based Rss Ticker Help?

I'm looking to write a form with input fields which, upon submitting, would post to a specific forum.

Now, I'm not sure if this is some kind of javascript trickery or something (I am far from familiar with JS). Here's an example of this page:
http://www.violentrevolution.net/e10...y/survey.php?2

Now, what happens upon submitting that forum, the information is posted to a forum where clan members can discuss the application. I'm looking to replicate that function, but I've gone over the code and I can't seem to see the modularity of it (i.e. changing the forum to which it posts).

Thanks for any help in advance.

Hi everyone,

Basically I want to add 3 tickers from this site: http://www.worldometers.info to my page. I've tried viewing the page source and copying but having some issues.

Let's say I want to add the "CO2 emissions this year (tons)" ticker; what is the code I need please?

Any help is much appreciated.

Thank you!

Can someone help me create a scrolling news ticker in HTML code?

I want to put rss feed into this scrolling ticker from an rss feed like yahoo news etc.

It would be greatly appreciated if someone can help or give me the code. Ill be glad to put your name in the code.


THanks.

I'm trying to set up a scrolling news ticker for my Internet radio station.

Specifications:
* Must be at least 35px high. Width is 100% of the page.
* Must be an scrolling ticker moving left and must be able to stop when scrolling over it.
* Must be real-time (and maybe will have a timestamp, if possible)
* Would like these RSS feeds to be integrated into this news ticker.

I would really appreciate it! Thank you!

Hi all,

Just signed up. I dabble occasionally with coding and would appreciate your help on a slight problem.

I'm thinking of putting in a scrolling ticker with links to files on site so this is what I've put in (link removed):

<marquee behavior="scroll" direction="left" bgcolor="#192025" onmouseover="this.stop()" onmouseout="this.start()" scrollamount="4"><a href="link">Text</a></marquee>

This is where my problem starts. The text is by default set to be black, therefore I can't see the text as the background colour is a shade of black. How do I change the text colour to white for this one bit?

That's the first problem, I then tried to manually change it by adding some codes like this, which is messy:

<marquee behavior="scroll" direction="left" bgcolor="#192025" onmouseover="this.stop()" onmouseout="this.start()" scrollamount="4"><a href="link"><font size="3" face="Yanone Kaffeesatz" color="white"> Text</a></font> </marquee>

It is now white text but the problem is that it appears in Times New Roman I think. I then tried deleting the face=Yanone Kaffeesatz strand but it does not work.

Thing is, with the first <marquee> example in my post, it defaults to the Yanone Kaffeesatz font with no mention of it (as that is what I use on my site), but it's in black. When I add the other string in the second example I get it in white but not in the font I want.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Hello, I'm trying to create a little page that auto updates itself whenever new files are added. The system is layered such that I have the top level index.html file, then in the same directory, I can add new folders that contain other index.html files. What I want to do is have the top level index.html file pick up every sub directory, grab the name from the directory, and then create a link to that directory's index.html file and then display it in the top level index.html file.

So what I have right now is this:

HTML Code:

<body>
<a href="myFirstDirectory/index.html">myFirstDirectory.html</a>
</body>

There is other stuff, but this is the part I need help with. As you can see, I also want the name that is displayed to be the same name as the directory. I do not know how to automate this if I have other folders in there like directory2, directory3, etc. Can anyone show me an example of how to do this or walk me through it? Thanks in advance.

Hello everyone. =)

I'm still very much a n00b when it comes to web development, so there's still a LOT I don't know how to do (and I can't even search Google very well, 'cuz I don't know the correct terms). That said...I apologize if I put this in the wrong section; I'm not really even sure where this topic belongs. =\

If you have any coding knowledge, or know a website that can help me, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance!!


1) I really like music, so I'd love to have an interactive Billboard music chart on my site. By "interactive", I mean "you get a list of the top 40 (or top 100) songs, and if you click the songs, you'll hear them play".

I'm thinking that, in order for this to work, I need to find a online radio site or something. But I know nothing about streaming websites...so I'm not even sure if there already is a "Top 40s Billboard" station, or a "Top R&B/Hip-Hop" station. And if those stations do exist, I don't know how to add them to my website. Would I need something called RSS/XML??? What do I do???


2) I want to add a sports ticker to my website. I'd love for it to be similar to this (I wish I could just pay them for the ticker, but I can't afford $130/month. So I'm wondering if there's a way to produce the same [or a somewhat similar] effect for free?):
http://sports.tickertech.com/

As you can see, the ticker is quite expansive. You can get info on national sports news (Michael Vick, etc.) and you can also get specific news based on individual sports teams (San Francisco 49ers, Detroit Tigers, etc.) You can also click on each individual link (located on the left side) and read more information on each topic; it's really really cool. <3

Is there anyway to reproduce this effect? If that ticker involves too much work, then how do I at least get the NATIONAL/MAJOR sports news for each sports category (NFL, NHL, NBA, MLB, etc.) to show up?


3) Also, what's the best way to keep my sports ticker and music charts up-to-date (or even better, have it update by itself)? Would I need to use RSS/XML to do it???

I need to know how to make an html/javascript based script to make a VERY simple address bar that acts exactly like the address bar on all web browsers. When you type in where you want to go.. well.. It takes you to the url you just typed in! No restrictions are needed (anti-porn for example) and I'm hoping it can be in the shape of a regular old form script that is easily editable.

Please don't ask why the hell I would need one but I just do.

Thanks in advance

Not sure if I am asking the correct question in the correct case, so please advise.

Question: More and more I am seeing web pages that appear to be based more on javaScript/CSS than on conventional HTML/HTMLX. An example that comes to mind is the Dropbox web site.

Is my observation/conclusion correct or are these web pages just HTMLX/CSS?

If they are based on JavaScript/Jquery, are there environments for developing these web sites or are they all custom coded?

Thank you for your patience...

Hello there,
I always make webpages using tables. The usual outline for me is a vertical menu bar at the left that is of STATIC width, and a window on the right that displays the conent with a DYNAMIC width. So I pretty much want the left pane to take up i.e. 200px and the right pane to take up the rest of the page.
With tables, it's easy b/c you can just set the table width to 100%, define the td width of the left pane, and the right pane will automatically resize itself to fill the page.

I'm trying to adapt a div-based layout now and I can't figure out how to do that with divs.
I've been playing with it, but keep running into problems. If I set float:left, after a certain point in making the window narrower, the right div jumps below the left div, etc..

Can someone give me some hints or point me in the right direction as to how to achieve the same effect I had using tables?

Thanks!

i have a floating div who's height is determined by content, i would like acquire that div's hight and apply it's hight to a div on the page, when the page loads...

I completeted a layout for a website using the slice tools in Photoshop....all I have to do now, is put text, pictures, etc etc into the fields necessary. I am having a lot of trouble with this.

I am wanting to make a background image in a cell fixed so I can put text ONTOP of it so it doesn't mess up the entire table layout. I want that cell to have scrollbars.
Does that make sence?

Ive been to w3schools.com site and when I put in the code they ask me to, it doesn't work. Im probably doing something wrong.

The website isn't online, however, I can paste the code that was generated if that is needed.

Thank you for your help.

Hello. =)

A few weeks ago, I made this thread saying that I'm (basically) still new to HTML...and now I'm forcing myself to use an HTML editor. (I decided to use KompoZer, and I've been using it for a few days.)

Right now, I'm playing around with it and trying to create different site layouts. I came up with a design (which involves using DIVs), but I'm really having some problems:

What the site is supposed to look like [GIF image]
What the site actually looks like (for now) [HTML document - CSS is embedded in the page]

...Truth be told I drew that picture first, then I went online and found a similar-looking layout (since I can't make one from scratch yet; I still don't really understand how DIVs+CSS work). So I tried modifying the layout as best I could, and I didn't do such a great job. ^^;

Anyway, I want the layout to be "liquid", so if you resize your browser everything shrinks nicely. But whenever I reduce my browser size, the header and footer start moving. How do I stop this from happening? Can anyone tell me the correct code I should be using?

Thanks in advance!!

PS:
1) You see those "white spaces" in the picture I drew? Well, I figure the best way to add those spaces is by modifying some background images, like what I did here. If I'm wrong, or you know a better way to do this, please tell me!!

2) If you scroll the HTML document, you might notice that it's hard to read the top line of text (because it's "hidden" behind the header DIV). I think the best way to solve this problem is by making the bottom of the header DIV transparent...or, by adding a second DIV at the bottom of the header, and then making that second DIV transparent. I heard you can use "filter:chroma" to do this, but for some reason I can't get it to work with hex colors OR pictures. =(

3) Do you think it's easier/makes more sense to try and edit this other layout instead? It scrolls the same way, and it already has a header and footer...plus the bottom of the header is already a different color, so I should be able to make it transparent.

This layout doesn't have a side column, but I can make one using code like this, right?:
HTML Code:

body {
color: white;
background-color: #000000;
background-image: url(stars_bg3.gif);
background-image: url(foot-head.gif) bottom 300px right;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-attachment: fixed;
border-top: 6px solid white;
border-right: 0;
border-bottom: 6px solid #FFFFFF;
border-left: 6px solid #FFFFFF;
padding-left: 184px;
overflow: hidden;
margin: 0px;
}

The "mailto:" code is fine for a link that has people send an email, IF they are using a non-web-based email program such as Outlook. But if a person is using, say, hotmail, and doesn't know how to configure hotmail as their default email program, how can I write html code that will take them to this kind of web-based email site for writing their email? I have a client who doesn't understand why she can't use the email link I've set up.. Please help!
