HTML - Help With Form Details
I am a web design student and just finished the html/(x)html curriculum and it kinda left me with more questions than answers. One being that whenever they had me writing the code for forms, the action portion of the code was always just a placeholder. Ie: action="" , could someone give me a quick runthrough on what type of action to use for certain applications and possibly an example of the type of script used to submit the forms.
Similar TutorialsInternet is the easiest and lucrative method to promote your business. For this you should have a user-friendly, interactive and professional looking website. This is the first step to start a successful internet marketing process. Those who don’t have websites can ask for web design services from a professional web designing firm. Here are a few important things that you should prepare before contacting a web design firm. Those who are planning to make a website should first create a good portfolio of their works. The portfolio should contain a detailed list of all the happy clients of the company. If the company has a good customer base which can be shown clearly in the portfolio, it would be the best method to advertise the services of the company. You should also give a comprehensive idea about the location of the company and the detailed addresses of the various offices of the company. This will increase the credibility of the company among the visitors. You can prepare detailed pages for the services/products section where you can include all the details related to it. Make it a point to say about the uniqueness that your firm has, as it helps a lot in marketing your products/services. It can be a newest technology or service that you offer, the method of delivery of products/services, or the widespread network that your company has. You can approach a web designer to know more about the things which can be included your website. I am embarrassed to be asking this, but... How do I open a new window from the parent window using an anchor with predetermined width, height and menu/scrollbar/status bar visibility options? I want the window to open with NO scrollbars, NO status bar, NO menus and set to 800px wide by 420px high. I have been writing html, css, php and sql for 6 years now and have NEVER needed to open a new window without using target="". When I realized this I shocked my self because I didn't know it...lol EDIT: I forgot to add, I need it to work in IE7 and Moz FF 2.0, thanks Thanks in advance Jason Hi, I am wanting to create a simple form on my site which visitors will be able to use to enter a few of their details, for example their name and email address and then hit "submit" in order to request more information on my site. When they hit submit, I would like the details they entered to be emailed to one of my business email addresses -- how is this done? Also, there should be a checkbox which they much select before they are able to huit submit (where I'm going to put somethin about reading terms and conditions). Does anyone know the code I'd use or can direct me somewhere I can fin it? Thanks in advance! I am having trouble with the following site here and the weather image at the bottom not being to the correct size. The image is hotlinked from another site, and I do have permission to do this! The image is automatically generated by scripts on that sites server every 5 minutes with new weather information. As my image has to always be a certain size and I suspect the original image located on the other website changes it's size as the weather updates, I clearly have a problem with pixel ratio's and an often unclear image... Thus, I would much rather scrap using the image and simply have the raw-text in this image on my site. If you look at the source for the site here, there is this piece of code: Code: <font face="Arial"><center><TABLE BORDER=1 CELLPADDING=5 CELLSPACING=1 BGCOLOR="FFFFFF"> <TR><TH colspan=4><B><FONT SIZE=+2 color="#0000FF">Weather Data</FONT></B></TH></TR> <TR><TH colspan=4><B><FONT SIZE=+1 color="#5">LAST READING AT TIME: 3:40 AM DATE: 21 December 2007 ,Time of next update: 03:45 AM</FONT></B></TH></TR> <tr><td><FONT SIZE=+1>Current Weather<FONT SIZE=+0></td><td>Night time\Dry</FONT></td> <td><font color="#009900"><FONT SIZE=+1>Current Temperature </td><td><font color="#009900"><b>3.8°C (38.8°F)</b>, Apparent temp 2.7 °C</FONT></font></td></tr> <tr><td><FONT SIZE=+1><FONT COLOR="#FF0000">Maximum Temperature </FONT><FONT SIZE=+0> (since midnight)</td><td><FONT COLOR="#FF0000">4.0 °C at: 12:00 AM</font></FONT></td> <td><FONT SIZE=+1><FONT COLOR="#3333FF">Minimum Temperature </FONT><FONT SIZE=+0> (since midnight)</td><td><FONT COLOR="#3333FF">3.2 °C at: 12:48 AM</font></FONT></td> <tr><td><FONT SIZE=+1>Average windspeed<FONT SIZE=+0> (ten minute)</td><td>0.0 kts (0.0 kmh)</FONT></td> <td><FONT SIZE=+1>Wind Direction<FONT SIZE=+0> (ten minute)</td><td>ENE (70°)</FONT></tr></td> <tr><td><FONT SIZE=+1>Windchill Temperature </td><td>3.8°C</FONT></td> <td><FONT SIZE=+1><font color="#009900">Maximum Gust </font><FONT SIZE=+0> (last hour)</td><td><font color="#009900">0.0 kts (0.0 kmh) at: 3:00 AM</font></FONT></td></tr> <tr><td><FONT SIZE=+1><font color="#009900">Maximum Gust </font><FONT SIZE=+0> (since midnight)</td><td><font color="#009900">0.0 kts (0.0 kmh) at: 1:52 PM</font></FONT></td> <td><FONT SIZE=+1>Maximum 1 minute average <FONT SIZE=+0> (since midnight)</td><td>0.0 kts (0.0 kmh) at: 1:57 PM</FONT></td></tr> <tr><td><FONT SIZE=+1>Rainfall <FONT SIZE=+0> (last hour)</td><td>0.00 in.

Basicaly, I want to set up a phishing site to get someone's facebook account information. So when they put their login details in and push login, I need their login details either recorded somewhere that I can access or sent to my email, how would this be possible? I've copied the facebook source code for the login page. I plan on doing this just for one person in particular that I really don't care for. I plan on sending him the link to something on facebook and then having something on the facebook homepage that says something similiar to "an unkown error has occured, please log back in". Greets. I am a hardcoder by nature of HTML, however I am tired of dealing manually with tables. Can someone recommend the BEST combined HTML, CSS, XML, ETC., with WYSIWYG editor. Prefer to have html pane, wysiwyg pane, and preview and preview in browser button along with built in ftp? Don’t want something so simple that I am limited, I want as much freedom as possible. My main objective is the ability on the wysiwyg pane to merge and split cells. HTML pane is a must. I don’t want to have to enter html snippets in a little pop-up box. Thanks in advance for your help. I don’t mind paying for the software, so it doesn’t have to be freeware. I can’t run Dreamweaver on Vista right now, don’t have the memory. Nvu doesn't work well on my machine with vista either. Html code for Text Boxes that the user writes down his details and then click to a button and his details comes to an eimail... look an example ... http://www.arkadiko-meli.gr/form.asp?i=2 I have created a custom html dropdown menu for my site. The thing is it looks perfect in Firefox 5.0 (for me it does anyway) and works just as expected but in other browsers such as Opera 10.60, Chrome 5.0.375.125, it doesn't work properly. and it works semi ok in IE 8. For example if I hover over one of the menu buttons in opera or chrome there is meant to be a drop down box, this doesn't show in Opera or chrome but does in IE? You can view the menu on my test site - http://www.themidwiferysanctuary.com/testsite/ There is more to the menu, you can use the following log in - Username: Jade Password 130489 Does anyone have any thoughts on how to get the dropdown compatiable with all (or most) browsers? I would post the code but it won't let me even when using the code tags.......... If you want to see the javascript code then please just let me know. Im not sure any of the above makes sense?? Thank you, Jade script completed, thx Hi all, I have a simple newsletter form, so just the email field and a submit, what I would like to do is to send this data to a larger subscriber form, so one that has name, email (with the data previously entered already added), list to subscribe to etc. Can this be done? Thanks I have a form with a number of elements. One of these elements is: <input type="image" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/x-click-butcc-subscribe.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt="Make payments with PayPal - it's fast, free and secure!"> Clicking on that element makes the form submit. But if I add a similar element: <input type="image" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/x-click-butcc-subscribe.gif" border="0" name="submit2" alt="Make payments with PayPal - it's fast, free and secure!"> ...clicking on that also makes the form submit. So was wondering if anyone knew what the rules were for which elements make a form submit? Cheers, James I have a simple signup form on my site that I want to pass the input to the larger signup form. Here is the code for the simple form: <form action="http://bigdogcattle.com/?a=Cattle_Mailing-List_SignUp" method="post" accept-charset="UTF-8"> The larger signup form is located he http://bigdogcattle.com/?a=Cattle_Mailing-List_SignUp I want the email address from the simple form to move to the larger form when the submit button is pressed.

Help me plz...... Im not good with those thingz.. Hi, I have a tricky problem that you kind people might be able to solve. I want to put one set of forms inside another set of forms without them interfering with each other. At the moment, the form I've created inside the other form is not responding. The code, when simplified, looks something like this: <FORM (1)> <FORM (2)> </FORM> </FORM> Am I trying to do the impossible or is there a way to overcome this problem? Thanks! / Stefan So i want to Post and Get in the same form for reasons of keeping the URL looking clean. I need to pass a PHP array through to the next page, and I don't want random gibberish in the URL. So, I can just Post this, but this is for a search page, and it would be nice to Get their search query for the reasons of the advantage of Get over Post, and because it looks better in my opinion. Anyways. The thing I am posting takes no user input, and it is defined in the beginning of the page. The thing I want to Get is user defined in a textbox. So, I need the method of the Form to be Get, but is it possible to also Post something? Thanks, If i wasn't clear i'm sorry and i'll try to explain it better. Hi guy, I tried to do some googling before i come to here. the problem is that i don't know what are the name or keyword for this, therefore i cannot find any relevant result. Let's say, i have many same html with different file name file filled with tables that i dont' want users to open and use it. Can i create another separate forms using html to fill in the blanks on the table cell maybe after i click submit button? Or it's easier to use VB to write a program and do the job? Please help. I have created a form with multiple different buttons, the first button is required to open a pop up box to show a list of people who live in a certain postcode. HTML Code: <div id="form"> <form name="f1" method="post"/> <p> ID: <br/> <input name="ID" type="text" value="Leave Blank" /> </p> <p> Name: <br/> <input name="Name" type="text" /> </p> <p> Address: <br/> <input name="Address" type="text" /> </p> <p> Postcode:<br/> <input name="Postcode" type="text" /> <input type='submit' value='Check' onclick="popup('popUpDiv')" /> <p><a href="#" onclick="popup('popUpDiv')">Find Person</a></p> </p> <p> Telephone: <br/> <input name="Telephone" type="text" /> </p> <p> Mobile: <br/> <input name="Mobile" type="text" /> </p> <p> AltTelephone: <br/> <input name="AltTelephone" type="text" /> </p> <p> Email: <br/> <input name="Email" type="text" /> </p> <p> Date: <br/> <input name="Date" type="text" /> </p> <p>Notes: <br/> <input name="Notes" type="text" /> </p> <p> CompanyNotes: <br/> <input name="CompanyNotes" type="text" /> </p> <p> Payment: <br/> <input name="Payment" type="text" value="Leave Blank for 0" /> </p> <p> <input type="submit" Value='Book' onclick="f1.action='insert.php'; return true " /> <!--<div id="wheel"><a href="instructorSearch.php"onClick="return popup(this, 'notes')"><img id="mainLogo" src="im/wheel.png" alt="Driving School Logo" /></a></div> !--> </p> <p><input type="submit" Value='Enquire' onclick="f1.action='insertEnquire.php'; return true " /> </form> The first button on the code works but the pop up only displays for a split second, the hyperlink underneath the button opens the pop up for good but cannot get the variable from the form.... alright so i made a form box i want to have numbers from 1-10 on the left and an [ADD] button next to each number so when i click the [ADD] button it adds the number into another form (text and type form... those white rectangle boxes) how do i go about doing this? I created a form in DW. Within the form is an excel document. I added a column with text areas for customers to put in the amount of items they would like to order, name and phone number. There is no calculating involved. I would just like the form emailed to me. I receive the email but it's empty. No form data received with it. Any suggestions? I could really use your help and it's greatly appreciated. |
