HTML - Html Listing Not Centered In My Ebay Listing

Hi,
I'm trying to create my very first webpage. I've got to the final step of uploading it to my host however when I visit the URL, rather then seeing the site I've put so much work into all I see is the following-

Directory Listing Denied
This Virtual Directory does not allow contents to be listed.

This is how I made the site, designed and made on Macromedia FIreworks 8. I then proceeded to slice the page (it's only a single page) and exported as HTML & Images.
I then opened the saved HTML file in Macromedia Dreamweaver and proceeded to correct the src parts to point where I uploaded them to my host.

Now, once I'd done all that, I upload the saved HTML file to my main htdocs folder via FTP and it should work? But it doesn't, it simply displays the above error message.

I'm pulling my hair out, would anybody be kind enough to have a look at my HTML file point out where I am going wrong?

Thanks in advance.

HTLM code to display a directory listing???

Hi there,
I wonder whether anyone can help me, I am been desperately searchnig for this answer.
Is there any HTML code I can use which I can insert into a webpage, that will show me the directory contents of a particular directory thats within the webserver?

I have a webserver which contains a list of files, which I can browse to and view ONLY if I insert the location into a web broswer such as:

http://webserver/mydocuments/

I have files that are regularly copied into this directory on my webserver, I want to keep watch on this folder everytime a new file is added. The only way I can do this now is to type in the URL HTTP://webserver/mydocuments
and then keep hitting the REFRESH button on IE.

Is there a way where the page will keep refreshing every minute/seconds to enable me to keep watch on added files into this location?
I thought that if there is some HTML code I can insert into a say a index.html file to allow me to view directory contents, I can then insert code to keep refreshing that page.

Any help with this will be appreciated. I thankyou for your help and ideas.
Yours,

Hi, i had an existing ad that I made with turbolister, i tried a template and added two pictures and a background, i accidently deleted the pictures off my computer and messed it all up. So i restored everything back and it is still missing on ebay. i should tell you that i was not using a online host just my computer to store the pictures, it seemed to be working fine until being the doo doo i am messed it all up. So i tried again and once it gets online its not showing the pictures. The backgrounds are there but not the pictures. I am so lost. Please any help would be appreciated. The backgrounds are also only stored on my computer but remain online in the listing. Its just the pictures that I am having problems with, maybe it is impossible to be offline and only have your computer as the host??? Not sure.
You html people are amazing it is soooooo confusing.
Here are the codes.

Hi guys,
I am having some difficulty trying to use html on ebay listing, i am new to html and its my first time i have tried producing something within it, i have designed it in web expression 4, i will include a link to my ebay listing and explain what the problem is.
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...m=300662175180

Somebody told me my item description covered the whole page and somebody else said they had to view it on a tiny scroll bar to read through it.
Can somebody assist me, it would be a god send.

Hi all,

I'm just wondering if anyone can tell me how the word "knitwear" in this ebay listing (item description) is in a different Font please?

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...=STRK:MEWAX:IT

I've looked in Source and can't fathom for the life of me how they've managed it!

The word Giorgio is also in a different font.

Many thanks in advance..

Hi I'm kinda new to all this.

I can see this being the first question to a lot of questions and hope you guys can help.

Firstly...

Can I put a code in my ebay items so that the whole advert document (eg. item1.html) Can be externally loaded in.

This way I can change the look of all my adverts by replacing the html files on my server and without having to touch ebay at all.

Kind regards
John

Hello everyone, this is my very first post here, you guys have a great site.

Okay, basically I am computer illiterate and I need some help from you guys on my ebay auction template. Here is a link to one of my auctions. As you can see, it looks somewhat old and needs revision. I need someone to help me make a new table or whatever it is called. I want this auction to look good, look professional. I need anything, something to make it not look so boring and I have no clue where to start. This template is what I use to list all 900 of the parts I have active in ebay.

From the part that says description inside the grey bar, all the way down the the part that has our store link right above the item pictures. Here is a link to the part that needs to be changed: here. Im sure its an easy process, but I am just not too sure how to change it. The guy who made it before me is no longer with us, so I am stuck. Even a finger in the right direction would be great, I have no clue on how to change the way those tables and and borderslook.

I am willing to compensate anyone who can help me with this problem. All I want is a good looking auction that is both professional and stylish. I am going to include the html in a post right below this one.

Thanks, Jason

Anyone have any hints about why headings that are perfectly centered in Firefox are sometimes aligned left in IE?

Hi all.
I've been trying to accomplish a simple task with less to no luck, I hope somebody here can help...

I'm trying to create a single page with a solid color background, with a square image (let's say 500px * 500px) centered in the page and above the solid color, with some text centered above the image. All of this should work even resizing the window: I mean, the image should resize mantainig its proportions.

Is there any way to do this? I tried both tables and css, but had no luck...


Thank you in advance.

Hi Guys,

Just trying to create a template for my ebay auctions to coincide with my new website - www.heavenlyboutique.co.uk

As you can see from the ebay template (click here to preview) I've created it to look similar to my main website.

Unfortunately I can't seem to get all the table boxes to lineup, e.g. - payment and delivery are in two columns side by side but unfortunately they misalign when you view them in Firefox and IE.

I've always come to HTML Forums for help because you guys seem to know what you are talking about and offer great advice, please could you have a look at the html coding and tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks in Advance!

why doesnt ebay use headers? h1 h2 ect..

I viewed the source and was surprised not to find a h1, h2 or h3 ect.. I am just wondering if anyone knows why eBay isn't web standards compliant?

Hello, I am a total HTML noob so please be patient

I use mocrosoft front page to edit a HTML template that I got off the web. Basically upload pictures to photobucket and paste the HTML link into the template. update the description and upload it to eBay.

I am looking to add an image gallery ( thumbnails and once clicked or moused over they enlarge in a big window above or below them) but I am not good with HTML at all.

I found some free source code on the net but I don't know how to integrate it into my template or even know if it can be done.

I tried using the image gallery that is built into front page and it seems ok when in the normal mode but when I switch to preview the pictures are gone and I receive script errors. when I look at the source it is pointing to a file on my C: drive instead of the images in photobucket.

I have no idea how HTML works but it seems that the source should point to a file or files on a website because it can't pull images from my hard drive once it's uploaded to ebay.

i plan to take some classes on HTML to learn more but in the meantime your help is appreciated.

If you have any easy methods to setup an image gallery or tutorial it would be a great help

Thank you
Adam

Hello,



I must explain something in advance so that you understand me better...

I use a german auction management service called Afterbuy
( something like merchantrun.com or auctionsound.com )
...to list items on eBay.

That web based service supports predefined headers, footers and variables to minimize the work at each item.

After I've set up a new item that way I can see it in a preview.
That preview shows it exact the way I want it and expect it.

But when I upload the item to eBay, eBay produces 2 small differences which damage the design.
Its a very simple table design... but I damn dont know where to fix that!
( And I want to use it for another over 300 items... )

For example one item on eBay: 220545652548 ( just paste the nr on eBay... )
( theres 1 thin line like hr above and a small white space between the table rows at the bottom... )

And the same item as the preview shows it:
http://www.webck.de/preview.html
( That's how I want it to look like... )

Maybe there's someone who can help me out... that would be nice.

Thanks a lot!!!

Christian
