HTML - Should Newbie Tackle Advanced Projects?
I have my first site under my belt, now I am being approached locally here to handle issues I have not yet encountered, I have covered XHTML and CSS and just started JS with Php on the horizon next. I have been asked to incorporate Flash on project and now I am being asked to do a Database project.
The way I see it, in the same way that I had no prior experience with JS but was able to use it with the help I got from here and elsewhere, I am thinking I can do the same with flash but with Database in particular, I have no idea what this involves, can anyone simplify what this will involve please and if I should attempt it? Don't get me wrong but I always love a challenge but at the same time I don't wish to tackle a database job if there's no way I can do it, guys? Similar TutorialsHey, i was wondering is there any sort of mini html project that i could do. like a webpage where you can change the colour of the background by click on a square or with a little animation on it or something. if you have any please let me know, i know html quite well but no experience in css but a tiny in javascript such as some functions. Hi all, I'm working on a website, and i'm trying to have it so that two pieces of text are aligned in a <td> one to the left and one to the right. However, no matter how hard i try I cannot get it to work! The closest i have got is to have both the texts in but it forces it to go on a line above. I won't post the url to the site unless someone asks, as I will probably be banned for spamming, but please help! OK what i want is to have for example 2 fields. one is a check box (or maybe a radio) and another is a file input. Now is there any way to block input to the File field if the check box isn't ticked and when the check box is ticked the file field becomes available? Any help would be apreciated. Regards Okay, so im working on a new website for my clan, and I had the crazy idea of doing it in a frameset fashion, however I've never done anything like this before. Any help, would be greatly appreciated. If this is unsuccessful or impossible that is okay. frame 1 is the navbar frame 2 is page's context frame 3 is ads for clan frame 4 is copyright Thanks! Umm.. Hello.. this is my first post.. but umm... i have been doing html for a year or two now.. and i got somewhat good at it.. however i have ran into a problem, im doing a project for my family and im using frames, to dividide my entire webpage, and im using "context menu script" from dhtml, link he http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamici...ontextmenu.htm the menu just pretty much allows it so that when i right click anywhere on my page a custom menu will appear with links.. now... what i am trying to do is pretty much open the link in a frame that i choose, so instead of opening a new window it would open in my frame, im using my frame MAIN as an example... heres the snippet of coding that i am having problems with: <div id="ie5menu" class="skin0" onMouseover="highlightie5(event)" onMouseout="lowlightie5(event)" onClick="jumptoie5(event)" display:none> <div class="menuitems" href="http://www.google.com">google</div> <div class="menuitems" url="http://dynamicdrive.com/new.htm" target="newwin">What's New?</div> <div class="menuitems" url="http://dynamicdrive.com/hot.htm">What's Hot?</div> <div class="menuitems" url="http://wsabstract.com/cgi-bin/Ultimate.cgi">Message Forum</div> <div class="menuitems" url="http://dynamicdrive.com/faqs.htm">FAQs</div> <div class="menuitems" url="http://dynamicdrive.com/submitscript.htm">Submit</div> <hr> <div class="menuitems" url="mailto:dynamicdrive@yahoo.com">Email Us</div> </div> i change the <div class="menuitems url="http://www.google.com">google</div>(which works by the way) to <div class="menuitems url="http://www.google.com" target="main">google</div> (main is a legit name of one of my frames) however that doesnt seem to work the window still launches in a new window. i have even tried to delete the whole <div> </div> and replace it all with <a href="http://www.google.com" target="main">gogle</a> but that breaks the menu altogether and not only does the link not launch in my frame,but it doesnt launch alltogether.. i dont know what to do.. can anyone help me? I mean... I tried pretty much everything.. maybe the target="" is different in the DIV or maybe someone can even show me yet another way to modify that whole entire snippet and give me an alternative way to launch those links in a frame. thank you in advance, please help me out! I am in charge of an internal training website at work and I want to know if I have any options with my forms. The quiz has been created in a form and it is currently setup when you hit submit your responses are mailed to your supervisor. In order to this the same quiz has to be duplicated 15 times for each supervisor. This also has to be done for each quiz, which of which there are about 20. I want to know if there is a way to create a form an option to chose from various different recipients. Therefore I will only have to create one quiz and they will have an option to chose from the 15 supervisors listed. I know mailto: is not recommended but up to now it has worked fine. All users will be on Internet explorer 6. Any ideas? First it is a pleasure to be participating in this forum, I appreciate this opportunity. Well, I am developing a website with dynamic content, effects and everything. Except that I have a problem. In one of the pages, I put a Photo Gallery. I used one called FancyBox. When navigating through the pages of the site, the effects and content exchanges happen with no problem, but when you go to the page of photos, open an photo and closes, after that, if you change the page will appear in the sidebar and a giant margin below of pages, except the page of photo gallery. you can check the link: http://www.grupoathia.com.br/qwe/ Steps to verify the problem: 1: Open the site 2: Click the tabs to navigate between content models 3: Click on the "Trabalhe Conosco" to check template Gallery 4: Open and close a photo. 5: Go to any other tab. Note that before you open a photo, all were normal, and now, after viewing a photo, they are left with a margin below. Does anyone know what might be happening? I already tried alter the CSS and JS, but not get a result, I am willing to try any possible solution that you recommend. : D Thank you for help right now. Warm regards. ... and sorry for bad english. =P alright, i have a two col. frameset. i have the right frameset as target="showframe". i need it so that what you type in the left (a url) shows up on the right. if you need more info, this is the site im doing it on he http://www.freewebs.com/kunaproxy/home.html Please Help Immediatley!! Hi! I would like to konw is there any way we can integrate an IFRAME much like an asp or php include file. For example: The Iframe has no borders, the iframe would have no scrolling, width is 100% of the cell it's located in, 100% height of the cell it's in, and a transparant background. We would also like it so that the conent is displayed throughout the cell of the iframe string - rather than it breaking in between. Do you get my idea? Thanks Ryan I am trying to create a form where I can check boxes of skills to return results of how many "departments" i have checked have those skills. It would look something like this: Check box - Description of skill1 Check box - Description of skill2 Check box - Description of skill3 SUBMIT BUTTON Department | Skill1 | Skill 2 | Skill 3 | Total -------------------------------------------------- ABC________1_______1______0____2 XYZ ________1_______1______0____2 So I need a code where I can check the boxes that apply, hit the submit button and have a value box display in each department instance if there was a match of not (1 = match 0 = no) So if i checked box skill 1 and skill 2 there would return a 1 under skill 1 and 2 for each department and show the tally of that under the total.

I need some help with an HTML site I am trying to make, so please do me a favour and hear me out. I should add that I know some simple HTML stuff (ie. I can make simple pages no sweat), but am pretty quick on the uptake. What I am trying to do is make a HTML page to keep track of orders for my small business. The layout is pretty simple- I need to make a form where I can enter orders as they come in (simple info- cutomer name, order size, that kind of thing), and then have the form publish the order into a queue/chart of some sort. Then, I need to be able to have that published order queue somehow accessible/editable so that once an employee has finished an order, they can confirm that the order is indeed finished, as well as include notes about when it was finished, where the order is in waiting in the warehouse, etc. Finally, a page essentially the same as above, but this time to confirm shipping with notes about shipping company/time, etc. Hopefully this model came out clear, and someone can point me in the right direction of how to go about getting this started. It by no means has to be pretty- just functional. Can someone give me a brief tutorial about how to make the forms and have them publish into some kind of master queue? Hello, i'm a business manager for 2 different up and coming businesses within the UK. On one of our sites we have widgets we are putting on the site displaying news from a few different organisations within the environmental sector. I have 5 or 6 widgets in total I am using, and when I put the widget codes into my boxes on the page I wish to have the information displayed on the website, they appear vertically on top of each other, meaning that the page becomes very long with the widgets on there. What code should I use to get the HTML code to know that I want the widgets to sit next to each rather than in a line down the page? I hope you understand what I mean, things involving websites are not my primary business activities so my knowledge of terminology is a bit lacking. Regards, Sean Hi there, Im currently making a website and im afraid im pretty new to this. I am making a fairly simple site >> http://www.monk3d.com/healthcarebed3.html If you download the page, you will see I have placed the logo, links, and footers, however I dont have a space for the actual content! Im probably being stupid, but im not sure how to add a new section. I attached a diagram where the blue box shows where I need the content. I hope this is explained properly. kind regards, Rob Hi Len here from Cape Town,South Africa. Done a lot of websites, using Netobjects Fusion, hence no coding.(Damn!) My own website www.2busycamping.co.za has a database which I want to change to PHP/MySQL based but battling with the data entry form. Any help would be appreciated. The drop down box (Province/Country) does not forward the entered data when selected and submitted. The other fields do! PS. this is code I have copied and pasted form bits and pieces I have found, so apologies in advance! Code follows: <form action="welcome3.php" method="get"> <FONT COLOR='#6633FF' SIZE='4'> <label><label><br /> <label>Select the fields that apply and click on FIND RESORTS.</label><br /> <label><label><br /> <select> <option value=""></option> <option value="">Southern Africa</option> <option value="">Eastern Cape</option> <option value="">Free State</option> <option value="">Gauteng</option> <option value="">Kwazulu-Natal</option> <option value="">Limpopo</option> <option value="">Mpumalanga</option> <option value="">North West</option> <option value="">Northern Cape</option> <option value="">Western Cape</option> <option value="">Bostwana</option> <option value="">Malawi</option> <option value="">Mozambique</option> <option value="">Namibia</option> <option value="">Zimbabwe</option> </select> <label>Province/Country<label><br /> <label><label><br /> <input type ="text" name = "Resort_name" </label> Resort Name (Can be left blank) : <label><br /> <label><label><br /> <input type ="text" name = "Route" </label> Route (Can be left blank) : <label><br /> <label><label><br /> <input type ="text" name = "Closest_town" <label> Closest Town (Can be left blank) : </label><br /> <label><label><br /> <input type ="text" name = "Pets_allowed" <label> Pets Allowed (Can be left blank) : </label><br /> <label><label><br /> <input type ="text" name = "Day_visitors_allowed" <label> Day Visitors Allowed (Can be left blank) : </label><br /> <label><label><br /> <input type ="text" name = "Have_conference" <label> Has conference facilities (Can be left blank) : </label><br /> <label><label><br /> <input type ="submit" value="FIND" /> </form> Thanks Len hello all im all new to this HTML so hopefully everyone can understand me im just playing around with HTML at the moment using notepad to learn whats what but i cant find a way of putting images or tex in the middle of the screen by it self it all just stays on the left handside? can anyone explain or give me the code for it please. also if anyone knows of any good starting books or software to help me on my HTML quest cheers |
