HTML - Z-index Giving Me A Headache

Suppose a user types the url of a website in their browser, so that the script http://url/index.htm is displayed in the browser. In other words, the user is not opening the page via a link or whatever, they are just typing in your url. In that situation, what (if anything) can you put in that script itself that gives the user's browser window a name that can be referred to later.

The reasons why I want to do this are complicated, but in a nutshell this first window will become the parent window of other windows that open up later via links within the page, and script within those windows will have to refer to it by a name.

Alternatively, is there some standard name that your browser window automatically recieves when you open up a website, like "parent" or something, that allows you to refer to it?

Here is link, Need help in form submit, need script in sever for submit, when i press submit, it gives me Error messege.

After doing this: Paste this at the beginning of your form and change the info to match your website

<form method=POST action="http://www.yourwebsite.com/cgi-bin/formmail.pl" target="_top">
<INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="recipient" VALUE="contactatyourwebsite.com">
<INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="subject" VALUE="WebSite Contact">
<INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="redirect" VALUE="http://www.yourwebsite.com/thanks.htm">
<INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="required" VALUE="email,your_name">
<input type=hidden name="sort" value="through,your_name,phone,company_name,email,comments">

You will have to create a folder called "cgi-bin" on your server on the main level. Then start a new file, call it formmail.pl and paste in the code found he
http://www.scriptarchive.com/downloa...=FormMail%2Epl

You'll see this about 30 lines down:
@referers = ('scriptarchive.com','209.196.21.3');
Change it to say
@referers = ('yourwebsite.com','www.yourwebsite.com');

Then upload that file into the cgi bin and change the permissions to 755.

You'll have to create an email with your host that matches this line: VALUE="contactatyourwebsite.com". Most good hosts will let you set up an email redirect, meaning you can have all emails that are sent to that address automatically resent to your regular email.

Hi All,

I am new to the board and new to HTML. I was hoping someone could help me out with this problem I am having. If you click the link below and click "like" (you can unlike right after, I just would like to show you something on the page) and scroll down to What's on the menu. Could you please help me with how to create something like this. What I mean by this is notice how when you click on one of the red dots it brings you to a different recipe on the page.

Any help would be amazing and greatly appreciated. Please let me know if i need to specify more. Thanks so much!

For complicated reasons having to do with getting some Javascript to submit a form properly, which I won't get into here, I need to create
a "do nothing" input button, whose mere presence lets the Javascript function work.

Since this button does not do anything when you press it, I want it to be invisible. In IE I can get it to be invisible just by setting its width to zero using the line below. However, Firefox insists on giving it some finite width, even if there is no label on it (see below). How do I create a zero width button in Firefox - and is there any other way to hide input buttons?

<input type="submit" name="control" value=" " style="width: 0px" title="No function" />

Hi all,

Could someone please take a look at this website:
http://www.jameslusbymusic.com/
and tell me how to sort out the main content of the home page?

The problem is that the <div id="right"> "News" content is before the <div id="left"> in the html file so it is pushing the left bit down lower than the news bit if that makes sense. This only seems to happen on some browsers and doesn't affect my Firefox.

The problem is, no matter what I do to it I can't get it all to line up properly if I move it!

Before I can tidy up the rest of the page I really need to get this sorted.

So any help greatly appreciated.

Many thanks.

Hi, I have got an input form to upload files; the form also accepts some other user input. The upload works fine, but I need to display some filenames by default, but this does not work. I tried using:
<input type="file" name="images[]" value="<?php echo $default_filename; ?>"...

This did not work, so I tried:

<input type="file" name="images[]" value="Testfile.jpg"..., but this does not work too.

All this is in a <form action="<?php echo $_PHP_SELF; ?>" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">.

It seems to me that in an input field of type "file", default values are not accepted, though they should be according to the documentation.

Any help will be greatly appreciated as I need this feature.

Thanks

I've got a drop down menu (#howto) that works fine in every browser but IE7. The issue: when activated, the menu options appear behind the divs below (#wrapper and #branding). I've tried several z-index combinations, but haven't hit upon one that works. With 13% of my user base still on IE7, I'm stressing out!

HTML
Code:

<!--Start How To Menu-->
<div id="howto" style="top: 3em; right: 0em;">
  <img alt="" src="imagesindex/down-triangle.gif" style="float:right; margin-top:0.3em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 1em;" height="10"/>
  How to...<br /> <hr width="80%" style="text-align: left;" />
<!-- Start How To drop-down menu -->
  <a href="membership/index_new.htm">become a member</a>
   ...
  <a href="contact_new.htm">contact a <abbr title="Western Development Museum">WDM</abbr></a>
  <!-- End About drop-down menu -->
</div> <!--End How To Menu-->

Here's my problem: I'm a subsciber with GeoCities/Yahoo, and had my html files stored. When I try upload my stuff to a certain forum I get a "File Not Found" msg.
By looking around I learned that the problem might be the "index.htm" file, which needs to for each subdirectory separately.

An example of such a file:

Hi there,

I was reviewing the web site of the organization I work for and I noticed that some of the html code is included in the following tags: <!--BeginNoIndex--> and <!--EndNoIndex--> Between these tags there's the page title and the site's navigation included.

I have been searching on this subject but I can't seem to find the right answers. I would say you would want your page title and navigation to be indexed by search engines. Or in what cases you wouldn't want it to be indexed? The web site is public and serves mainly an informative purpose.

I would be happy with anything that could help me, also resources where I can read about it for example.

Kind regards!

Okay so recently I updated my website so the URL for my home page is now: http://www.benellett.com/index.php However I would either like to somehow make that page show up as just the base website: http://www.benellett.com/ or have the benellett.com page forward to the /index.php page. Preferably I want benellett.com/index.php to be the "home" page like it would be if it were index.html (like my old website in the link). Thanks a lot!

Does anyone know how to use z-index?

I would like to know where to use it!
Is it in the css file or in the html page?

If anyone as any examples that would be great.

Thank you

Hey everyone. Wanted your opinions and knowledge on something. I have a friend who is setting up a splash page for her site. However the way her hosting company has things set up she will need to rename her current home page from index.html to something else, and make the splash page the new index.html.

She's under the impression that if her current home page is renamed to something other than index it will lose significant value in her website's ranking. I've never heard of that. Her meta tags will be kept intact, and the splash page will have meta tags, and will link to both the home page and sitemap so I don't think search engines will have any problem spidering her site. And I don't really think it will affect her ranking.

What do you all think? Am I wrong?
