HTML - Entry Forms

Hi, I have a simple list of text entry's that all have the same class (sample shown below) presented on a webpage. I am trying to present the top 5 entries first, with a next button to another page showing the next 5 entries. I was wondering if there was an ajax, javascript or other code that could sort this automatically so when I add new entries to the top, the older entries get shuffled down onto the next pages. I have previously been manually moving the entries from page to page when I add a new one, and am looking for a more efficient alternative but without having to use a database either. Thanks for your time and any suggestions would be really appreciated.

Code:

<div class="archive-title">title 24th Aug</div>
<div class="archive-title">title 21st Aug</div>
<div class="archive-title">title 16th Aug</div>
<div class="archive-title">title 13th Aug</div>
<div class="archive-title">title 9th Aug</div>
<div class="archive-title">title 2nd Aug</div>
<div class="archive-title">title 26th Jul</div>
<div class="archive-title">title 10th Jul</div>
<div class="archive-title">title 9th Jul</div>
<div class="archive-title">title 4th Jul</div>

Hi everyone,

Hoping someone might be able to help me - I'm a Latin teacher, trying to design a website for my students to practise their verb conjugatiosn and noun declensions, so what I'm wondering is how I have, for example, a grid with text boxes for students to write the correct endings in and then a submit button which then checks what the student has written in the box and then maybe a pop up window appears saying "you have got 2 endings wrong, try again" or something like that... any ideas? I got as far as looking at forms but couldn't work out how to adapt them to the purpose I'm looking for.
Would be very grateful for some help on this!

Is there a way to insure that all form fields are reset to empty or default values upon entry to the page that contains the form?

I'm asking this because if someone has already submitted a form and arrives at the next screen, that form has already been logged. If they go back, it gets logged again and I don't want that.

I would prefer that the solution would involve HTML &/or PHP because many people have Java script disabled. But, if it can't be done with HTML or PHP, then so be it. I'll have to use Javascript.

My first thought was to somehow disable the "Back" button but that is probably offensive to many, and I wouldn't want to alienate anyone.

Maybe someone on this forum might have the answer to my question or may be able to suggest another approch I could use.

Thanking you in advance,
Roy

OK, I figure this CANNOT be as difficult as I'm making it.....

I do database design and implementation: RdB, Oracle, SQL Server, even MySQL if I have no choice... But I don't do extensive web pages.....

A club to which I belong would like to move an application from Access to the web. I created a MySQL database and now need to create forms that look, feel, work, and have capabilities similar to those currently implemented in Access. Something like:

First Name: ________________ Last Name: __________________
Street: _____________________ Street2: ___________________
City: ______________ State: _____ Postal Code: ___________
Email Address: ________________________________________________

I'm finding doing something this trivial amazingly difficult since even VWD attempts to either push everthing into a single column or for side-by-side fields shoves them together. Even if I get things working in VWD it appears to push asp.net and I"m not certain the club's web server even supports this (it doesn't support any Microsoft products as near as I can tell).
I've spent days rummaging the Internet looking for "simple html forms" and even "complex html forms" without finding the magic answer to doing simple form formatting...

It cannot be this primitive. So, is there a special set of tags or something that I need to do this type of simple formatting? I'm looking for simple web forms attached to a MySQL database to do data entry, searches, editing, and so on. And, of course, this club has no money so buying additional software (and spending the time to master it) probably isn't an option.

So how do I do this?

Alright, fairly basic question here, but I'm kicking myself over and over trying to figure out some fairly basic code.

What I'm doing for a friend is helping code his gaming website so that his in-game buddies can update their stats on his page. I'm just about done with the simple database work, so they can create usernames/passwords etc, but the stats page is a bit of a problem.

Basically, I want a form page only accessible once they've logged in, and they can then input their information onto the form, hit "Enter" (or some other button to that effect), and the site will update a different page with all of their stats which were input into the form.

No idea where to start. Help if possible, thanks.

Hi I was wondering if someone could help me out with a project I working on at my work.

I have created a simple form web page that the sales people use to send a request to the help desk

Everything works fine except my boss doesnt like the output of the email that gets generated to the helpdesk when someone clicks the send button.

How can I change the format of the posted email?? I am interested in having a web format or some sort of word document attachment.

this is what I have coded right now
method="POST" enctype="text/plain">

please help i am new to html and i am trying to add an optin form to my site that is linked to my e-mail can anyone help


also the email address that the info needs to be sent to is glenwalker@grabtwitter.co.uk

I want to have it so that if something is submitted it shows it on the page itself,

Like if you make a offer on a site where you can buy stuff so other people on the site know what the highest offer is.

But i dont know the code can someone plz help me

I am creating some forms for a website, and each form needs to have 1 or 2 text fields that can have additional text fields added or removed from the form. For example, a plus sign that would duplicate the text field, and then a minus sign to get rid of excess fields.

I would really appreciate it! If you need more information on my problem stvnclerico@gmail.com

Thankyou!

I need help with a form that allows the user to enter and submit the information, and then that information that they enter is automatically dislplayed below on the same page, after they hit the submit button. Here is the code I have.

Here is the html code (comment.html)

<html>
<body>
<form action="post.php" method="post">
First Name:
<input type ="text" name="firstname"/>
&nbsp
Last Name:
<input type ="text" name="lastname"/>
<br/>
<br/><dd/>
Comments orSuggestions:
<br/><dd/>
<textarea name="comment" rows="10" cols="50"></textarea>
</textarea>

</form>
</body>
</html>

Here is the php code (post.php)
<?php
$firstname=$_GET['firstname'];
$lastname=$_GET['lastname'];
$comment=$_GET['comment'];

echo $firstname;
echo "&4nbsp; $lastname";
echo ":";
echo "&nbsp; $comment";
?>

I do not want the the info when submitted to be displayed on the php page, I want it displayed on the html page where it was submitted, I was told I needed a php page to do that, but I cannot get it to work.

Hi,

I currently have an area on my site where people can change the look using CSS in a text area. I now want to do it so i use a dropdown box and when someone selects a style they like it calls a CSS theme and puts it into the head of the page.

Is this possible (sorry if i have it in the wrong section!)

I need help writing a form...i know how to do everything but have it sent to my email address. Can somebody give me or help me write a CGI program that will send it to my email address. Thank you very much

I need help using a code to do the following:
I have a search field, when someone types their serial number into the box it needs to bring the specs up for their computer. Currently i am using a code that is simply if this is typed it goes to this page. As the list of serial numbers grows the list becomes larger and larger. Is there a way to either make this an external file where i can update the one file instead of the actual page it is on or is their a simpler way to do this with maybe PHP, SQL or something else that would make this easier to update?

Hello and thank you for having such a good resource for html online. I am trying to accomplish something and am not sure how to go about doing it. What I need to do is have a box that has multiple check boxes with I guess you can call them responses next to them. When the boxes are checked, I would like to be able to have a next button, that would bring me to another set of check boxes and of course answers. At the end of all of this, I would like to have whatever was checked put into a box at the end, that could be copy and pasted into another document. I am basically trying to make a function at my job easier. I have seen it done before, but am not sure what it would be called. I have dabbled a bit with html and for the life of me cannot figure it out. Not looking for someone to do this for me or even walk me through it, but just a point in the right direction. Thanks in advance.
