HTML - Displaying External Text - What's The Best Way?

I am working on "thumbnails", everything shows fine in IE but in FF the "alt" text does not show, what can I do to get the alt text to show in FF please?

When I place links on my bands myspace page the link text displays on the page vertically instead of horizontally on some computers. It displayed correctly (Horizontally) on the PC I created it on, but when i view it on other PCs the text was vertical.

Here is the page. It's the white text near the top. (Add To Friends, Send Message etc.)

or www.myspace.com/theengineersband1


Here is the code for the links.
I am a beginner with HTML.

Thanks,

Hi all im really new to html. I guess this question is really basic to the expert html ers but just need a bit of help.

I want to add some text say i got a <p> tag and want to write just a sentance such as ..

<p>I am learning html, it uses tags like this <a,b> which can load images etc. </p>

of course a,b isnt a tag, but if i load this basic text in a web browser it would ignore the <a,b> and come up as validation error in the validator. So pretty much is there a way around of displaying <any letters or words> without the browser thinking its some sort of tag?

thanks for the help!

Is there a way to randomly display text in an element? Im wanting to do somewhat of a "Did you know?" section on my site with random facts about our particular industry. Any help would be awesome!

Thanks in advance!

Hey all,

I'm having a problem with html input text fields. I'm trying to display a name in it but it only shows the first part of that name.

Here is the part of the code I'm using for one of those :

Code:

<label>Name
<span class="small">Name sent</span>
</label>
<input type="text" name="name" id="name" value=<?php echo $_POST["name"]; ?> />

If, as example, the name I'm getting from $_POST is : Alexander Johnson, there will only be Alexander in the text field.

Note that if I create a really small function like this :
Code:

$name = $_POST["name"];
echo $name;

Then the output will be Alexander Johnson instead of simply Alexander. Anyone knows what I'm doing wrong?

(I'm using the labels and span class with css, but I don't think this is the problem.

I am trying to display some long text in a <PRE> tag to preserve formatting. When there is really long text in a <pre> tag, part of the text is not displaying on the screen when you scroll over. All of the text is there when I do a view source, but on the screen part of it is hidden and only shows up when highlighted with a mouse. I am not sure if there is some kind of character limitation in PRE or what but I just cannot figure this out. And like I said, this only happens in IE. Works fine in Netscape/FireFox

Here is the html if you want to look at it yourself in a page. If you scroll over, you can see the "|" display only up to 3900 and then they are hidden:


<pre>0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 110 120 130 140 150 160 170 180 190 200 210 220 230 240 250 260 270 280 290 300 310 320 330 340 350 360 370 380 390 400 410 420 430 440 450 460 470 480 490 500

I have three user input text boxes called; "name", "email" and "phone" and one text field to display that information called; "feedback".

When a "Submit" button is clicked, the three text boxes are validated to check that what was typed inside them was OK.

I then want to display the Users' name, email and phone number on individual lines in the text field, for example, name on line 1, email on line 2 and phone number on line 3.

At the minute when I submit the information only the phone number displays on the first line of the text box. In the text field "feedback"; I know the HTML probably interprets my code as; the name is being replaced by the email and then the email is being replaced by the phone number.

Here is the relevant section of my code.

function validate(){

if (validateName () && validateEmail() && validateformatNumber()){
var myName=document.survey.visitor.value;
document.survey.feedback.value=myName;

var myEmail=document.survey.email.value;
document.survey.feedback.value=myEmail;

var myPhone=document.survey.phone.value;
document.survey.feedback.value=myPhone;

return true;
}else{

return false;
}}

I think the solution could be something simple but I haven't much of an idea of how to do it. Thanks in advance.

I'm trying to make a sidebar to navigate through the website and basically lays out the entire site on the sidebar (which is a tree with nodes and leafs etc), but when it tries to display the text, it gets really squished up on the right side, but there are still horizontal scrollbars -.-
This is the html after all the PHP stuff:

Edit: I put in "width:100em;" in the li section of css. It formatted the text properly, but then the scrollbar continues on forever. Is there any way to find out how many pixels are needed to format the text properly? More specifically, is there any way (javascript, php) to find the length of a string in pixels?

Hello again, I did this site in Dreamweaver, looked fine in my dreamweaver editor, uploaded it and voila everything goes nuts.

List of Problems: The Links are not positioned properly, not big enough plus the drop downs to the bottom and not to the right. That was properly my fault since I just copied a suckerfish method... But can someone help with this.

If you study the News Header in the CSS, it says it has a background image, how ever it doesn't show when I uploaded it. I know the url and the pic is correct cause it worked in Dreamweaver...

The background for "welcome" is all the way up there which isn't supposed to happen, it supposed to be right on top of the Hello text but that isn't happening either.

The hello and welcome are supposed to be aligned to the left of the right header.

Thats about it, please can someone help me. I've changed the format of this like 3 times just to get it correctly done, but nothings working.

Thank you

And don't worry I got it all validated and what not

Hi folks.

I suspect this a total noob type question but I can't find anything in DW help or by searching so here goes.

I have a page with frames. In one of the frames I want an external URL to be displayed rather than content from the mother site, if that makes any sense. I don't mean asa a link, I mean the actual content to be displayed. How do I do that?

Something like...

TopFrame = ./top.html
LeftFrame = ./left.html
BottomFrame = someother.domain/fred.html

And they all get shown when the page is loaded.

Ta muchly for your help!

Simon.

Is it possible to log the amount of times an external link has been clicked on your site?

Could anyone please tell me the code to call an external html file?
I need to refresh my memories!

I have managed to get an external style sheet to work on 7 of my 8 pages. I cannot figure out why it will not work on the 8th page. The code was copied and then modified to fit the new page so there should be no reason it shouldn't work. http://ironhillsclan.com the forum page (rules.html) is the only on that doesn't work.

Any ideas?
