HTML - Explorer Forgets Variables After Hitting Back-button

Good morning world...I've got a problem. I work for a college updating web sites, and I don't have access to anything in the CSS that they setup before me (my administrators won't let me touch it), and I know very little of jQuery and javascript.

To the point though, I want to add a "back to top" button that hovers around the bottom corner of the browser. Can I do it without being able to access the CSS that the college uses as its base? (I guess using HTML and HTML only)?

I'm currently building a website for my jewelry and I have run into a simple, but aggravating problem. Should I include a back button? A back button would be the same a clicking on home, but are my visitors going to to know that?

This is what it would look like with out a back button:

Hi there,

I'm coding a html website with two frames (one top, one bottom). From the homepage, when the user clicks a link, both the top and the frame the link's in change. when my user is on that new page and click the back button in the toolbar, only the top frame (title) changes, but not the bottom one. So, for the 2nd page, I need a way to make the toolbar's back button move the viewer two steps instead of one. Is that possible?

thank you,

Hi

I want to be able to turn the image that reads 'back' on the page below into a "back button" that automatically makes the browser go back a page, just like the back button within the browser. How do i do this?

Hi,

I am creating a site in HTML using Dreamweaver. I use rollover buttons to navigate the site which are normally grey but white when rolled over. I have found that when I press the BACK button the button I had previously clicked is white and not grey. Try it out for yourself: http://www.RandAM.org/RichardAsh/

Once the problematic button is rolled over it works normally.

Is there a way to stop this from happening?

thanks,

I have an html document (not a webpage) which I'm converting
into a .pdf. I've created it before without any issue but now I'm
noticing that when I click on the back button (after clicking on an
internal link) that it does one of two things... It either a) returns me
to the top of the document or b) takes me to some arbitrary spot
in the document. Neither one being where I or my clients need to
get back to.

Anybody experience this or have a fix?

Thanks,

I am building this intranet for our employees at work. I am not a programmer, nor anykind of web professional, and I'm building this as an amateur. I have very basic knowledge of HTML and a bit of CSS, and that's pretty much it.

Once the thing is ready to be released, it will have to be updated on a regular basis, and by people whose background and function have nothing to do with scripting (in fact, I cannot take care of it myself all the time since I'm leaving for Europe soon). Therefore, I resigned to using MS Word 2007 as the html editor, since it's the only software anyone can usen here to update the files without having to learn how to code (I haven't found any freeware that didn't require prior html knowledge and the company will not pay for a software liscence of any kind). I know MS word is basically the worst thing one can use to build a website, but I couldn't find any better for this scenario.

Now I'm encountering a bit of a problem with the website, specifically with frames. The website (which is a frameset) is divided in two sections: a menu on the left (frame_menu), which is static should remain there all the time, and a frame to the right (frame_main) displaying the pages contents.

Now, when a user clicks on a link in frame_menu, the content (page A) displays in frame_main, which is what I want. Then if someone clicks on a link in the page A in frame_main that links to another page (page B), it will open gain in frame_main, replacing the page A that was there. So far, this is the behavior I want, and the frame properties were set for this.

The problem comes when the back button is used. If you are on page B, and then click the back button, you will come back to page A, in frame_main (so far still good), but any subsequent link the user will click after using the back button, whether it's a link in frame_menu or frame_main, will open in a new window, even though the default for opening links of the frame is set to frame_main as the target! This renders the frameset completely useless, and the whole frameset has to be closed and reloaded to function properly again.

I know frames are deprecated. The only alternative I have found was to use CSS to simulate frames. However, from what I have read (and tell me if I am mistaken), it only simulates the fact that you have a "fixed" menu on every page, but the menu is NOT a separate html file, and has to be part of every page on the website. This makes the updating of the menu very tedious, as it has to be changed on every page of the website, were an item to be added to it. This is why I used frames to begin with: no need to update every page to add something to your menu, just update the menu.html file and voila.

So I would like to know if you have any workaround for this problem. Any suggestion is appreciated. This was all tested with IE8. It's the only browser provided to the employees, I cannot use another one.

This is part of the code (generated by MS Word of course) that contains the frametset

<frameset framespacing=0 frameborder=0 border=0 cols="215,1*">
<frame name="frame_menu"
src="file:///\\sv050\GROUPS\AGT\AGT-CDS\AGT-CDS-CR\helper\html\menu.htm"
scrolling=no>
<frame name="frame_main"
src="file:///\\sv050\GROUPS\AGT\AGT-CDS\AGT-CDS-CR\helper\html\home.htm">
<noframes>
<body lang=EN-US style='tab-interval:36.0pt'>
<div class=WordSection1>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:10.0pt;line-height:115%'><span
style='font-size:11.0pt;line-height:115%'>This page uses frames, but your
browser doesn't support them.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
</body>
</noframes>
</frameset>

If the entire script of the frameset.html is needed, tell me and I'll post it.

Thanks in advance,

Very new to HTML. I have a basic "Add To Cart" button created thru PayPal's website payments standard. I want to add a 20% discount cart wide for "New Customers Only" at checkout. I have checked add variables and added discount_amount_cart=20. Still doesn't work. I have read that PayPal will not allow discounts in their shopping carts because they are not the owner of said discount. True or False?? Is this possible to do thru PayPal w/out using a third party. If not, why do they give us an option to add advanced variables. Hopefully I'm on the right track here. All help is greatly appreciated!!! This is what I have so far. The original button was set up as a "Computer Setup" service costing $60 usd, small button, encrypted, no drop down or text menus.

Original code:

<form target="paypal" action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_s-xclick">
<input type="hidden" name="hosted_button_id" value="G7LXUWQLSJPBY">
<input type="image" src="https://www.paypalobjects.com/WEBSCR-640-20110401-1/en_US/i/btn/btn_cart_SM.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt="PayPal - The safer, easier way to pay online!">

What I have created so far. Still doesn't work.

Hello all

I'm currently trying to submit HIDDEN variables via POST when a user hits a link--but I don't know how to do it.

Here's how you would usually submit data using the FORM tags:

Code:

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

<input type="hidden" name="hidden-value" value="SKDJCM7" />
<input type="submit" value="Submit" />

</form>

Now I want to replace the submit button with a text link (<a href="">). And everytime the user clicks on that link, the new webpage should not only be loaded, but hidden variables should be POSTed to the new webpage. I have read the <a> tag reference, but no parameters seem to allow POSTing variables to the destination URL.

What's also important to me:
- I do not want to use GET, because the variables shouldn't appear in the URL.
- I do not want to use cookies.
- I do not want to use scripts, like Javascript.
- I do not want to use images instead of buttons, but I want to use text links.
- I do not want to use the PHP-native session support.

Is there a way to do what I want?

Thanks in advance for any help

Hi, I've got three buttons on a page and basically all I'm trying to do is put a BACK button as one of the three. But I'm having difficulties getting it to work.


Code:

<form name="reservationinfo" action="reservationcollected.php" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="reservationID" value="<? echo $reservationID; ?>">
<center>
<table width="400" border="0" cellspacing="5">
<tr>
<td><input type="submit" value= "Reservation Collected" class="button" name="submit"></td>
<td><input type="submit" value='Cancel Reservation' onclick="reservationinfo.action='admincancelreservation.php'; return true;"></td>
<td><input type="submit" value='Back' onclick="reservationinfo.action='history.go(-1)'; return true;"></td>
</tr>
</table>
</center>
</form>


The solutions Ive been trying either take me to reservationcollected.php OR says history.go(-1) CANNOT BE DISPLAYED. Any ideas?

Cheers

I am creating a website that has a search button with an image. I would like to know if there is some simple code that I can include that would display the same basic image with a different color when the user mouses over the button.

Here is the code:

<FORM name="searchform"
onSubmit="return validateSearch();"
METHOD="POST"
ACTION="search_results_lt.asp">

<INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="Search" VALUE="" SIZE="20" >&nbsp;

<INPUT TYPE=IMAGE SRC="images/search_button.gif" Name="SearchButton" Value="Submit">

</FORM>

Thanks for your help,

Hi i was wondering what the code is for hypserlinking text to go to a certain part of a page thanks

I am programming a site and i am having a pag with thousnds of things on it, literally, so i want to have a bar up at the top that says "G" and it will take you down to the beginning of section "G" and then a back to top section. here is the site, it is very, very unfinished.

I have another question. If you look at my main page he
http://www.bestsellersworld.com
On the section called "What's New", I have a book cover called "Should Old Acquaintance Be Dead". I would like to move that cover more over to the right. I have align="right" but it does not move over. How can I do that? Thanks.

I got into this about 5/6 years ago when I had to design a basic site for school so taught myself some CSS, we were using dreamweaver.

I've been wanting to get back into it recently and was just wondering best way to do this? I was thinking about experimenting with maybe wordpress or another CMS.

I'd like to get back into a bit of photoshop or fireworks as well not sure where I'll find the time but eventually maybe.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
