HTML - Frames & Drop Down Boxes
Hey there, not sure if this is the right place to post this but here goes. (Did look to make sure but wasn't a 100% positive)
Anyway, I'm pretty familiar with the basics of html. I can read it and understand what most of it says. My first question is, do you think frames would be a good idea here ??I don't work them often so I'm not too familiar with them but I do understand how they work. I was thinking just two side by side or would I need to do one on top & two side by side. Nothing would alter above the main image so it's why I didn't think it was necessary. But again, not an expert. Second question. On this on this page is more complicated. I know about drop down boxes but what I was thinking of have it has it is now except the dark purple not show until you click on the letter you want. (I know that sounds like a normal drop down box but I'm not sure how else to explain it) Just wondering if that was possible to do without it being too difficult. <3 thanks a lot everyone. I appreciate all help. Lilly Similar TutorialsI want to make a site similar to this: www.joeyporter.com You see how the middle has news and you scroll with it? How would I go about doing something like that? Let's say I have 2 drop down boxes. Both have the choices 10% to 100%. Can I make it so that depending on what % you choose the submit button takes you to certain links? I'm trying to do what this site did but without all of the country, keyword, sort by etc. I just want one category and the % boxes and that's all. I already have the necessary links so that's not a problem. Here is the page I am working on: http://pharosgroup.net/index.php?opt...=article&id=79 From Leadership Competency downward, I am trying to align those drop down boxes so that each of them are the same no matter how long or short the question is. It seems all questions that take up two lines have the boxes all the way to the right by default and its perfect just the way I want it! However I cannot get the rest to matchup correctly, any tips or help would be great! I do have Dream weaver also but cannot figure it out! I can also post the code if it will help. I have a custom order form where the choices available in one box should be conditional on another one. I want both the drop down boxes to display on the same page. For instance, the first box has regular, superior and deluxe. The second box would have red, orange, violet, indigo, blue. If user chooses regular, all colour options would be available.. If user chooses superior, red orange violet would be available If deluxe, only red available. How would I do this? First I am not sure if this is the right place to post this, it might need to be in a different language section. Sorry for that if it is. I need to create a set of drop down boxes, most likely 6. Each box needs to have 4-5 different options in it. There is no order in which they need to be set up because the user HAS TO be able to start with whatever box they want. From their choice in the first box, certain selections in the other drop down boxes would have to be eliminated. Same with the second, third and so on. There can be no predetermined order of what one they start with because not all the boxes will apply to every user. Another way to imagine the basic concept if I am not clear enough is go to any car website like kbb.com. When you first select the company who makes your car, Honda for example, the next box over will bring up a list of all the cars Honda makes. Then when you choose the car, Accord for example, the next box will give you the option of the manual or automatic and so on. I am kind of looking for this functionally, but I need it to be where you can start with any box and no matter what you choose in the first box, it does not eliminate all other choices, just 1 or 2 from each box (based on the selection). I know this is kind of hard to understand, it is even harder for me to describe. lol. If you can give me any help that would be wonderful, even if it is just a language this would be able to be accomplished in. I would really like there to be a web version for a website as well as a stand alone program to run on computers (this will probably be done in C# I am guessing). Thank you so much, Brian Stoiber Hey all, I've been looking all over the net for a tutorail about this, but I can't seem to find one. What I'm trying to do is make a drop-down box where you can select an option, press a submit button, and it'll open up a new window *or tab for firefox users* pertaining to that information, such as a site that I choose to link to it. This is the code I'm using for my option box <div align="left"> <select name="xfer" size="1" style="color:000000; background-color:226622; font-family:trebuchet ms; font-size:11px; border:thin solid "ffffff;> <option></option> </select> </div></form> I'm totally stumped here. Any help would be greatly appreciated! -Cheers, Billy How exactly can I make a drop down box (<select>) make an iFrame load something else? So that the iFrame displays new information but stays on the same page If this is not possible or to complicated how else could I do something of the same effect? Hi, I am looking for some help with HTML forms, namely forms which mainly comprise of drop-down boxes. I know how to create drop-down boxes in forms, though what I want is that each variable in the drop-down box should go to a different URL. For example, if someone selects "variable 1" and then clicks submit, it should go to a different URL than when they select "variable 2" and click submit. I have all the URL's, though I'm just not sure of how to make each variable go to a different URL. Can someone help me out with this? If anyone knows of a site which has something similar like this can you please direct me to it so that I can look at he source? Thanks. Would it possible to use the iGoogle api to drag and drop boxes around ? Could you indicate me the link ? thanks Hi all. I've been updating a website that now has a list that is getting to big and takes up abit of scrolling. Can anybody direct me to code that allows me create drop down boxes for each catagory that lists the html pages. When the user selects the page from within the drop down box it either goes straight to the page or they need to click "go". Cheers. Leroy Why do the images in the background show through the drop in box on my site? http://www.nomoreheartdiseaseandstrokes.com/ Should I put all the information within a table in the drop in box? Thanks We are doing a website for our shop and need a place where our local dealers can come online and see what we have in stock. i need to have 4 drop down boxes: 1) rim size, 2)brand 3)offset 4)bolt pattern. but they dont have to have all 4 criterias to seach so they can search all the 20 inch rims no matter what brand. i was thinking this is something similar to the one on cardomain.com (towards the middle of the left side. it says browse community and then has 2 boxes and a go button). please advise. thank you Please help. This is what I have so far http://bartletagency.com/m/x2.php Now, obviously with business cards there many different options. I need something to calculate on the side the total after picking each drop box option, or if easier, after hitting "calculate total." (preferably with the numbers in a table so I can make it appear by itself right underwear the send button) . Example: 1000 business cards in blue, say, would need to come up at 50 dollars if they pick 3-1, but if they pick 3-22 it needs to come up 60 dollars if they pick the other color, green, and pick 3-1, the label would need to turn to $55.00, if they pick 3-2 with the color green the label would need to say $65.00 how can i do this please? here is the code I have which made up the PHP file i linked you to above. code: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/loose.dtd"> <html> <head> <title>Lesson 3</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> </head> <body> <?php if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] != 'POST'){ $me = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?> <h1 align="center">Business Cards</h1> <form name="form1" method="post" action="<?=$me?>"> <table border="0" align="center" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0"> <tr> <td align="right" valign="middle">Quantity:</td> <td><select name="Quantity: "> <option value="1000">1000</option> <option value="2500">2500</option> <option value="5000">5000</option> <option value="10,000">10,000</option> </select> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right" valign="middle">color</td> <td><select name="color"> <option value="blue">blue</option> <option value="green">green</option> </select> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right" valign="middle">3</td> <td><select name="3"> <option value="small">3-1</option> <option value="medium">3-2</option> </select> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> <td><input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Send"> </td> </tr> </table> </form> <?php } else { error_reporting(0); // initialize a array to //hold any errors we encounter $errors = array(); // test to see if the form was actually // posted from our form $page = $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; if (!ereg($page, $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'])) $errors[] = "Invalid referer<br>\n"; // check to see if a name was entered if (count($errors)>0) { foreach($errors as $err) echo "$err<br>\n"; echo "<br>Please use your browser's Back button to fix."; } else { // no errors, so we build our message switch($_POST['color']){ case 'red': $recipient = 'mathew420@gmail.com'; break; case 'green': $recipient = 'mathew420@gmail.com'; break; case 'blue': $recipient = 'mathew420@gmail.com'; break; default: $recipient = 'mathew420@gmail.com'; } $subject = "Widget On Line Order"; $from = stripslashes($_POST['Name']); $msg = "Message sent by $from\n"; $msg.="\nSize: ".$_POST['size']; $options=$_POST['options']; $msg.="\nOptions:"; if ($options) for ($i=0;$i<count($options);$i++) $msg.= "\n- $options[$i]"; else $msg.="\n- None"; $msg.="\nColor: ".$_POST['color']; $extension=($_POST['extension'])?"Extension: Yes":"Extension: No"; $wallmount=($_POST['wallmount'])?"Wallmount: Yes":"Wallmount: No"; $deskmount=($_POST['deskmount'])?"Deskmount: Yes":"Deskmount: No"; $msg.="\n$extension\n$wallmount\n$deskmount"; $msg.="\n".stripslashes($_POST['MsgBody'])."\n"; if (mail($recipient,$subject,$msg)){ echo "<p>Thanks for your order!</p>"; echo nl2br($msg); } else echo "An unknown error occurred."; } } ?> </body> </html> thanks so much I've heard many times "don't use frames, there is better ways to accomplish it", and I was wondering, is this just referring to "invisible" frames, or any frames? For example, look at Kingdom of Loathing. They use frames (or what appears to be frames) and I can't see how they could successfully make that site without. If I had to have all the screens scroll as one rather than separate, and couldn't resize when I needed to, it would be extremely annoying. So, frames are bad, or just the invisible ones? Hey, I'm a html noob building a website for html. I have frames set up so that it is 3 columns. In the middle column there are three rows (Header, menu and content respectively). The problem I'm having is, although I've made the frames so that they can't be dragged to alter their size, when the user resizes the window the frames get resized and all the content (including banner, menu buttons etc.) get cut off or pushed into "no mans land". Id like one of the following to be possible: - How do i make the window so it opens at a specific size, and cant be resized. - Or if the window has to be resizable, can i set a minimum point the frames can be resized to. - Or how do i make the content so that it doenst go to the s***house. - Or how do i make the frames so they aren't resized when the window is... Bellow is a picture and my coding so you can see what's wrong: (in the picture you can see the banner being cut off, the buttons havent been cut off yet as the window is still big). <body properties="fixed"> <frameset border="3" bordercolor="#000000" rows="100%"> <frameset cols="20%,60%,20%"> <frame src="backdrop.html" name="lbackdrop" noresize scrolling="no"> <frameset rows="25%,10%,65%"> <frame src="header.html" name="header" noresize scrolling="no"> <frame src="menu2.html" name="menu" noresize scrolling="no" <frame src="main.html" name="mainwindow" noresize scrolling="no" </frameset> <frame src="backdrop.html" name="rbackdrop" noresize scrolling="no"> </frameset> </frameset> </body> Thanks in advance Hey everybody! I have a website on a three row frameset (top,body,bottom). I've created a separate frameset for each page on my site. But is becoming a bit annoying. I want to know if it's possible to click on a link, from my main page and have that open one frameset with the same Top and Bottom but, depending on the button I click, is the page that appears as the body. I hope that's clear, I'm a newbie. I'll really appreciate if there are any ideas on the matter. Thanks!!! Cheers! Hi, First time posting... I have a site that contains frames and I am applying IDs to the tables and providing links above to move further down the page but it also moves the outer frame but I would like the outer frame to remain still and for the link to scroll to the right place in the page in the inner frame. Is this possible? Thanks. I have a page that has a few images with links to differnet sites and I want them to link to another page with a frame at the top that shows the same inages that are smaller and the page of the website below it. I know how to do frames but I dont want to create a different page per link. (In short I want to have a link to a website open in another page with frames) Here is a basic idea for the front page http://www.techmatefl.com/pcp/ Here is the second page with the icons and the blank area is where I want the different sites that you choose to show http://www.techmatefl.com/pcp/site.html So it will be like a google image search in a way. Let me know if there is a way to do this with HTML, JS, or anything else. When designing websites in the past I have always used tables to organize content, but I've noticed that many professional templates don't use tables, but instead use Div Ids. Are Div ID's better and if they are can anyone tell me how to use them. |
