HTML - Data Updating
Hi everyone
I'm currently told to design a html page that updates live(Constantly changing) data, I wonder if it is possible through html coding. Lets say the data updates every 2 seconds, as in the page changes the data without me manually refreshing the page. Is it even possible in the first place? Sorry, but I'm kinda new to html code writing and all. Sorry haha. Similar TutorialsHi guys, hope you can help with what I'm hoping will be a simple answer! I'm just developing a small web app using XML as a basic data source. The XML data simply populates an event listing and news page etc. I need the client to be able to add new events and new news stories etc themselves and was wondering if there was a way for him to do it without editing the XML file directly?? Previously, I've used an MS Access database and I've had a basic asp input or update form to add info to the database, but I guess it doesn't work this way with XML. XML seems an extremely easy way of storing, retreiving and displaying small amounts of data in this way, and wanted to avoid having a content management system for the client. Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Kind Regards Gaz I've been running a PS3 Madden 10 Franchise for the last 6 months. I had a fellow member who created a cool website for the Franchise. Unfortunately, he won't be able to help update the website for Madden 11. Currently I'm stuck trying to learn HTML on my own and doing my best to update the website for Madden 11. Right now, I'm trying to change the Home Page banner. However, I can't seem to identify it in the code. For some reason the banner is split into two parts. " HomePageBanner1.png " and " HomePageBanner2.png " ... I would like to switch the current home page banner to the following, " DrewBreesBanner1.png " and " DrewBreesBanner2.png " ... Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you. The html code for the home page is: Code: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> <html> <head> <title>Blu Ray Franchise - League of Champions - Home Page</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="Style.css" /> <noscript></noscript><!-- --><script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.freewebs.com/p.js"></script><script language=JavaScript> var message = "Sorry, right click is disabled!

How would I set something up on a website hosted by the server, were I can implement a text box that can be update by not updating the actual page it self, so I dont have to continually update the actual page rather some other form be able to update current news, and dates of certain events. If you get what Im trying to say. Not sure if it would be HTMl or PHP. Thanks for the help! Hey, I have made an HTML-based iPhone theme that is a calendar (screenshot attached). My problem is that the HTML has to be reloaded in order to update the date, and that requires restarting the device. I would like the date to update automatically. Unfortunately, I do not know HTML beyond the minimum to get this working. I tried some javascript functions on timers but I can't get it working. The files are attached. How can I make it update itself? Thanks! P.S. You can load the HTML file on your computer, it just won't have the background or icons or anything. Hey I have been asked to design my schools website which involves information from each department i.e. computing, maths, English, ect.. that needs to be included in the site. I would like for the departments to be able to change there information on the site from within the site instead of having to open a html editor and changing the text there then having to uploading it back up to the site. Is there a way that the text can be changed on the site, kind of like wikipedia, but with a html code? Cheers I am creating my first site for a business and I am almost content with the template I am going to be using. The problem is that from time to time new brand names of things will come out and I will need to put a link for them in my links on the right and top of my pages. My plan was to use my template over and over for every page on the site just replacing the content section. Is there a way to update just the main page so that it adds the new links to all the pages instead of going through each one to add them? I have very lilttle exirience with java script and would like to keep it as much pure html and css as posssible Ok so I am extremely new to coding and am setting up a small website. Everything I use right now is based off of a few excel spreadsheets and the site I'm making I want some of that info in a more public format rather than sharing a bunch of spreadsheets. One spreadsheet I have imports the html tables from another website and puts it into a google docs spreadsheet. So whenever the source code is changed on the original website it is also changed on my spreadsheet. Now, is it possible to reference a specific spreadsheet cell(s) (instead of the specific data in the cells) so that when the data is changed on the spreadsheet it is also changed on my website. The way I have it now it only shows what was on the spreadsheet at the time the code was entered. So if cell A1 said apples and then a day later cell A1 changed to bananas, my website still shows apples since that was what was originally entered even though the spreadsheet changed to bananas. I'm not sure if I'm too clear on what I'm asking...I tried. If you have a vague answer or a starting point where I should start looking that would be good too. Thanks. So I've got a form with some input text. In addition to the data in the input text I want to send some other data that has already been predetermined on initial page load. How would I declare the other data within the form element? Thanks Hi Experts, I am designing a webpage where based on the year selection the associated years webtable needs to be displayed in the webpage. Pls give som suggestions and if possible the code on to how to code this using HTML and Jav Script. I know I have to write afunction and then call the fn based on the input.but need your help on this. Thanks, Bsquare Hello all, I have recently set up a website for my gaming servers. http://www.accurategameserver.110mb.com As you can see on my site, it has all the recent game changes etc. I find it really anoying and time consuming to have to keep flicking back and forth to change each section data and its usually only like one small change. Any way that I can change it so that it automatically updates to a set image/text on a seperate page? Last question is, how do ou make a registration form on your website without mysql and send out automatic emails. Thanks all in advance. Cheers Don't forget to register to my website for gaming goodness Hello, I'm going to be updating an HTML website for a friend, and it's going to be a very basic webpage. Mostly HTML with a little JavaScript thrown in for fun. My question is, how do I handle content management for the user? The website is going to be a standard setup with a "New Information" section on the homepage. This section will be updated by the admin (my friend) on a regular basis, but I'd like to be able to have her update this info in a more user-friendly manner than updating the actual HTML code. Content management is new to me, so I'm open to any suggestions. Thanks in advance! Heylo, been a frequent visitor of here for awhile now but never registered. Anywho, I'm in a bit of a stuck position with a website of mine for our family's condo we have in Destin, FL. I created the website maybe 3 years ago or so, when I knew little coding and what not, so I did everything in images using Adobe Photoshop. Well, it's gotten really old/annoying to have to do the updating for my Dad & Step Mom and I'd like to make it into a regular website that they can update themselves. Sooo, I need to make it into a site where they can use an html editor to add text/images w/o using photoshop and moving everything. Here's the website link to check it out for yourself: www.sundestinresort.com I recently updated it to make it have a small bit of php so that the header and footer only load once, while the middle part (including the side navigation) is an image alone with lots of maps for the links using Fireworks 8. I'd really like to know how I can make it so that I can have the navigation on the left side alone, and then have the main text area an editable region. If this means losing the background image and making it white, that's acceptable. I'm not really sure how to do this really (tables?) or what, so ANY help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance, and I hope I've given enough info on what I'd like to do to get a couple good responses about this. -Brent Hi my site www.brewrecords.net the text on the top right, I have to change it on all pages on the site when a new gig comes in. It is highly time consuming Is there a way i can update it once and that applies to the whole of the site? It's only text. cheers, tom Hey there, I started html/css a few days since I wanted to make my own website for my own Minecraft server and I've ran into a little problem with it. I tried putting 2 videos aswell as a paragraph of text on the front page and well... the video at the bottom of the page was well below the white line. Is there something that I need to do so the page updates and expands? My html and css is below.

I am trying to set up a place at my sight where I can have a content page from a certain link update automatically. For example, I want to create a 30 day journal link where each day a new journal page would come up. To my understanding I know I would have create a folder that would have 30 separate html pages. But my question is how can I set up the site that each page would automatically update according to day and time. Let's say that at 12:00am midnight a new html page with new content would be available for the reader. I don't have a lot of time to manually update the link with new content, so I want the site to do it on its own each day. Am I making any sense? I just need to know how I can have content automatically update each day without my needed to go and do it manually every day. Any help would be appreciated....thx so much. Hello, I have about 25-30 pages on my site. It has a link navigation menu and a sidebar on the left with newsletter opt in, products for sale, etc... I was wondering if there was a way to change/ edit the contents of the sidebar on EVERY PAGE without having to manually go in and change the updated HTML code on every single page. Is there a script that i can use to make this happen that I can just edit the sidebar and it will "update" the sidebar on all 30 pages accordingly?? Rather than manually doing this 30 times for every page my website is http://www.optimumtennis.net thanks in advance Hi! I am currently studying a Comp Sci degree in college. I want to create a few webpages and cut my teeth. I know basic html but would like to do something more advanced. I want to add a widget or script of sorts to a webpage to allow news updates, adding pictures and text basically. I am not really sure what I am looking for and would just like to know what terms or terminology to search for. Would this come under the heading of Javascript, php, perl, widgets? Any help is appreciated. The website I am working on has been constructed all with html, css, and javascript - it is currently not hosted at this point. On each page there is a menu on the left side that has all the links. I am looking for a way that I could update all of these links by updating just one file. The left side code is essentially: Code: <div id="links"> <table> ---- </table> <table> ---- </table> </div> I was thinking javascript could do this, but I don't have enough know-how to do this. Hello, I'm a bit of an amateur at HTML, I'm still using notepad to make my site ;-) Anyway for the most part I've had good success when updating my website, however now I'm encountring a real head scratcher and I'm hoping some of you kind and wiser gentlemen (and ladies?) can help. After inputting my code and building locally I see the image below to the left, however upon uploading all my goods (using Ipswitch WS_FTP Pro 30 day trial) it appears that my code has updated correctly, however none of my images show up, as seen on the below image to the right. I've attempted to troubleshoot this one a bit but I think I've hit a wall, I don't know if it's the FTP program I'm using (hasn't given me issues in the past) or if I'm running out of space on my site? but even some images that I merely swapped for newer images aren't updating (same file name, etc) It's as if it wont accept any new jpegs! I can change the code and the simple text that I have and it'll update fine and dandy but needless to say on a site that's supposed to feature art pieces, I'd like to get my artwork updated :-( My site is www.alexanderalza.com Any help would be GREATLY appreciated, thank you very much! I apologize if this is in the wrong forum. Please move it to the proper location if needed. Here's the situation: I need a page with 2 fixed frames, small top, rest bottom. In the top frame, I need a few form text fields and a submit button. In the bottom frame, I need the information that was typed into the text fields above to populate the bottom frame. Everytime I enter new info and hit submit, I want the information to be added to the bottom frame and to the information that was already added. I'm new to this, but am a quick learner and willing to spend enough time to do this myself with guidance. Thanks |
