HTML - New To Html. Hidden Field Question And What Exactly Is...foo.
Ok so i've recently started html. Moving along, I'm reading a book on xhtml and its talking about hidden fields. Now I get the general idea of what it is used for, but how would it be implemented in a website? or at least can someone give me a better explanation than this one paragraph in this book. Also, I'm seeing foo a lot when talking about the name attribute...it came out of nowhere. Why are they naming stuff foo?

Can you tell me what is wrong with this...it's my first attempt so be gentle The form HTML is <form name="filter" action="http://www.myurl.com" method="get"> <input type="hidden" name="main_page" value="index" /> <input type="hidden" name="Flt_Grade[]" value="100" /> <select name="filter_id" onchange="this.form.submit()"> <option value="1">Most Popular</option> <option value="2" selected="selected">Price: Low to High</option> <option value="3">Price: High to Low</option> <option value="4">Title</option> <option value="6">Date Added: Newest</option> <option value="7">Date Added: Oldest</option> </select> </form> I would expect, when option 4 in the dropdown is selected the URL to be http://www.myurl.com&main_page=index...00&filter_id=4 Where %5B = [ and %5D = ] But what I actually get is http://www.myurl.com&main_page=index...e=&filter_id=4 The Flt_Grade array is not passed properly. Can this be done so the hidden field is passed in the URL as an array? Thank you! Hiya, I can add a hidden like this to my form... Code: <input type="hidden" name="height" value="197cm" /> But what if I want to change 197cm to 6' 5" - i.e., so it contains apostrophes and speech marks... Code: <input type="hidden" name="height" value="6' 5"" /> doesn't work due to the extra speech mark, so how do I solve? Thanks, James I have a form but a text field and a hidden field don't come in form elements.I am alerting all form elements in a javascript function which is invoked on press of a button and these two form elements don't come. Any idea why that will happen. JS function which alerts the form elements is as follows :- function populateSubmitProfile() { var i =0; alert("Number of forms "+document.forms.length) ; for( i = 0 ; i < document.forms[0].elements.length ; i++) { alert("Name of the elements :"+document.forms[0].elements[i].name) ; } } Hi I want to do two things: 1) pre populate the input field (the following isn't pre populating in FF) <input type='text' name='txt' id='txt' onFocus='this.select()' VALUE='GIGS' class="formInput" /> CSS: form input {padding-top:5px; font-size:large; background-color:#fff; border:none; height:31px;} 2) make the pre populated text have a different format to the text people write in it. Is it possible? Will it be html, or involve JS? Thanks for your time and help.

Hey, I'm jst starting to learn html and I was someone could give me an example of how to create a a simple form with 2 input fields which are set to a value say "hello" in first field and "World" in second field when the button is clicked. Thanks Hello everyone, In my company we have a server to which everyone is connected. Since we use a large panel of legal texts, someone compiled them and listed them in a word doc with hyperlinks that lead to PDFs. He then saved the doc as HTML and put the entire 'database' into a folder located on the server. The html doc appears in Firefox on each PC of ours as a link and since we all have access to the common server it is like a local website. Quite simple and easy to use. I would like to add a search field to the document that would enable us to search directly in the folder that includes all the pdfs and inside those documents. Since I know very little in html I am not even sure if it is possible. Great thanks for your help! Looking forward to hear from someone... Hi All, I have been searching how to do field verification via Html/CGi. but it somewhat confuses me. I am trying to capture a users mobile phone number via a form. But i want them to enter their phone number twice, when they submit the form i want to check that both fields match. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks, Paul Hi all, I have a text input field, and I would like it to autocomplete from a list. For example the input field is for cities, and when the user types 'lon' I want it to automatically show a list of cities that have lon in the beginning of it's name, or if there are no others for it to autocomplete for the user. It doesn't necessarily have to be a text input element, it can be something else I just don't know what to use or how to go about it. Anyone got any ideas? Ok, basically here is the run down of what I am looking for this script to do. Code: http://www.thisisjustanexamplesite.com/stats=XXXX-XXXX-XXXX (X's representing numbers) All I want is the webpage to just show a text field and a submit button. So when the user puts in the numbers in the text field and hits submit, it automatically will put the numbers he put into the text field on the end of that link mentioned above and then take them there. I'm thinking it should just be simple HTML but possbily PHP maybe, not sure. Any help would be appreciated!

Hello, I run a videogame server along with a website for content management. Right now im trying to find a way to display a page with a box inside it that transitions pdf files located in a file on the server. The file would follow as so http://www.voidcraft.net/other/rand/...3681823623.pdf It would also have 4 buttons at the bottom one with a arrow pointing right that would transition to the next. one the the left which would make it go back to the one before. There would also be a approve and decline. The approve would email the email on the pdf or have a box pop up that asks for the email and then send the pdf to a approved folder. The decline would do the same except send a different email and send to a different folder. I have no idea what so ever how to do this. I am only partially experienced in Html and this just goes over my head. Is there a chance that anyone could help me out here? |
