HTML - Html Executable On Desktop?
Hi,
You know how sometimes websites with ever changing content (like stock market quotes, price of gold, etc) offer snippets of code that you can put on your own website to show charts/prices/etc? I was just wondering if there was a way to get that code to run on my desktop to show that changing content? It would only be a box approx 270 x 110 pixels if it was on a webpage, hopefully the same size on the desktop. The piece of code in question is: <A HREF="http://www.kitco.com/connecting.html"> <IMG SRC="http://www.kitconet.com/images/sp_en_6.gif" BORDER="0" ALT="[Most Recent Quotes from www.kitco.com]"> </A> I've searched thru the forum but found nothing that answers this question. Is there something out there that will take the html code and convert it into, say, an exe that will then run on the desktop? TIA Similar TutorialsI have heard that it is possible to put a webpage on the desktop of a computer that has windows. Is it also possible to do this in linux? What I would like to do is to put a whole series of pull down menus on the desktop - one menu group would be for educational programs, one for Open office programs, etc. I would like to do this to get away from the whole nesting windows thing. Is it possible? easy? Hey there guys... I've been trying to make an HTML program that opens programs I direct it to. Now I have the layout all correct, it looks almost like a control panel with my most commonly used programs. I put hyper links on the pictures, but when I click on the picture that dialog box keeps opening! It's getting a bit irritating... Is there a way I can make them open with out keep clicking on open or save in the dialog box. I can't get notepad opened either! This is not web based just for my PC if that makes anything any easier! Also if there anything in JAVA that will be cool. I saw something to do with PERL but I cannot run the code on my PC, I think thats only web based and the coding is way to complicated! Thanks Here's what I'm up to: Made this scrolling desktop background on my Windows XP machine and found that the desktop icons, which appear transparent over a standard, static wallpaper, are no longer so when the desktop background is changed to an HTML one. That is, the text that displays as if typed with a drop-shadow over a static .jpg wallpaper image shows up over an HTML background inside a colored box. I'd like to get the "no box" effect, the standard XP text with a drop shadow, over the HTML background. Is this possible? I would like have the HTML code for my web pages that will put my tiger icon on my page shortcuts that I save to my desktop. I believe its an attribute in the body tag such as: <body logo=""> or something like that. When I put a web page shortcut on my desktop an icon for that page appears above the name. I can not find the correct tags by sourcing the page. When I save this page to my desktop an icon displays above the name. Please help. Thanks Walt So I'm developing a kind of desktop that u use by any browser. The idea of this is that you can find files and go thru files easy and do other things at the same time. In a new design. So I have a test site that gives you an idea on how it going to look. I am a rookie when it comes to coding and such so it's a simple site. Please come with tips and stuff that I should add. here is the test website. http://jaegarn.webs.com/ It all started yesterday when internet was shut down for one hour and I was bored When im developing this now I'm making it in swedish but it's easy to translate it and if somone wants I could translate it for it's release to english. So ya come with suggestions on what I should add and tips Over N Out JaegarN I have a client that I just built a website for. This website is viewed by many different people. The client is wondering if it is possible to have a link somewhere on the site that automatically downloads an image icon to the users desktop. Once this icon is in place on the users desktop, they can click that icon when they want to go back to the web site. He also stated he'd like an app button created for mobile devices. I think he's thinking these icons are one in the same. But from what little I know about creating an app, you need to know the Objective C language and the only way someone can get it is through an app store. He wants both windows and Mac users to be able to use this. Is this possible, or how should I go about approaching this another way to achieve the same thing? Thanks for any help or direction. I've got a bunch of tel: links on a site that work great with mobiles and desktops that have softphones but how can I tell the browser to not treat it like a dead link if no such application exists? Here's an example - clik on any phone number: http://sketch.uk.com/admin_contacts.php?menu=8 I have a website for my company, and at the bottom I have a clickable button which gives access to "resources" such as manuals and diagrams which is only accessible with a username and password. I would like to add a button that automatically opens the remote desktop connection tool (mstsc) on the users machine, and ideally ammend some of the default settings of this (drives, sounds etc). I have no idea if this is even possible! Any pointers (or a simple NO!) would be great! A company website I went to gives the user the option of downloading a program, the purpose I believe is to open a browser and automatically log the user into their online account at www.companysite.com. The user simply double-clicks an icon on the desktop which lauches the browser, etc. How can I do this? Anyone have a link to a fre script? Thanks! Chris I am trying to figure out how the user can click ANYWHERE on the webpage, and it will execute the 'Show Desktop' command (like in the quicklaunch -- for windows XP). The webpage will be used as the desktop background. I want the user to be able to click on the desktop background, and all other windows will become minimized. An onclick function perhaps, or something that executes "Windows key + M"? Please help, this is for my job lol Hi everyone. I need some advice. I currently run a website for the local snooker league here, http://www.ldbsa.co.uk, and I have a mobile version of the site, http://mobile.ldbsa.co.uk. Currently these are two separate sites, with a PHP script running on the pages to determine what browser and device is being used, and being re-directed to the mobile site should you be on a mobile device. My main issue with this is that I have to update both websites separately, as they are two compeltely independent websites, both pulling the same data in from a MySQL database though. What I would like to do, is to have the same website for both, with a different stylesheet loading depending on the device. This obviously has its advantages in that I only have to update the site once, but the disadvantages come when coding the site. One other method I though about doing is to turn virtually all areas of the site into database driven, including menu items, headers, references to images etc. This way, all I need to do is the write two different stylesheets for the main structure and look of the both versions. The main difficulty I see happening is coding a structure in html that will work for both mobile nad desktop devices. Is this the best way to go about it? Or would you advise keeping the two sites separate? I just upgraded all my .HTML pages to .PHP . But now I noticed that when my pages pull up in the search engines like Google, Yahoo, and MSN. They still show the old .HTML links?? When they click on the webpages from the search engines results you get error 404 page cannot be found. How can I update the search engines or add code to my page so the search engines will reflect the new .PHP pages. Also it's been over a good week since I've update to .PHP Thank you all in advanced!! My html problem keeps failling, with all my image codes.. shown for 10 errors which are all for the images what's wrong?

Is there a simple and quick way to do it ? I know I can simply create a new HTML document and then just copy and paste the links but is there a utility that can do this ? Many thanks Hi everyone, I've been searching around the web trying to find out how I can send using Outlook a html and text email newsletter automatically. I am quite happy creating html only newsletters, and text ones for that matter, but I have been digging and believe that by using multi-part code I can send to both and the recipients email client "allows" whichever version to be displayed - does this sound right? I'm hoping to simply create the html with the relevent mime references and boundaries (dont know what they are but have seen them on enough Google'd pages to know that they mean something!) and then copy and paste into Outlook - the newsletter is only going out to a few people at a time. Any suggestions or advice would be very greatly appreciated. Regards Allan Hi, so I'm trying to make this e-mail newsletter. It's entirely images, tables and text. So no javascript, just plain stuff. I tried attaching it as a signiture file and I had trouble sending it. It also didn't come out right. I'm trying to avoid using a software. Its basically just a block of HTML I need to show up as the only content in an email. If you just put HTML into a email text field, it just shows the HTML code in the email as text. Any ideas? Hi everybody, I've invented a means of converting HTML to keywords. http://4nf.org/tool/ What do you think of it? Any kind of feedback is greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance and kind regards Hello Everyone, Please help in build the code for the site , the layout should be as the below layout , I need to submit this by today EOD.
