HTML - Image Location

On the website host i use i can put the location of the file (example, images/banner.png) but how do i get it from a diffferent file. like if the file i need is in the images file but my html file is in the "javascript" file

Here is kinda what i mean. this shows where the files kind of a
( ">" points to the file in that folder )

javascript > index.html
images > banner.png

..

so how do i get the image from the image file without having to put the full url to it? because i cant put "images/banner.png" cause its going to think the image file is in the "javascript" (its going to go to "javascript/images/banner.png", instead of just "images/banner.png)file since the html file is in the "javascript" file and not the main page.

if you dont understand this tell me and ill try to explain it better, i tryed to make it as clear as i could.

Hi,

I'm trying to build a program that automatically picks images from a given web page. As you know, there's a lot of relative paths used on those.

Now, I got to my first big problem, this is the address I'm trying to use:
http://www.nba.com/games/20090117/ORLDEN/preview.html

this is the address where image is: http://www.nba.com/media/homepage/bullet_video.gif

and this is the address source code refers to:
img src="/media/homepage/bullet_video.gif" border=0

Now, note that there's no ".." in the front of that address.

Question: How can I determine based on the address when the location of image is
http://www.nba.com/media/homepage/bullet_video.gif
and when it is
http://www.nba.com/games/20090117/OR...llet_video.gif

And yes, this is 100% about automatizing the process, so the answer I'm looking for has to be something I can tell to VBA (the language I'm using to write my program).

Thank you for any answer.

can someone help me with a simple code that will

take a url "URL.com/something/
and then remove "URL.com/,/"
and append ".swf"

and then would show an object at

"anotherURL.com/something.swf?

I know there are scripts that take the current URL and can modify and use it.

Code:

<h1>Title of Video</h1>
<p style="text-align: left;">
<object width="600" height="600" data="http://URL.net/nd/video.swf">
</object>
</p>

so if the HTML/java script was on

url.com/2011/10/something

then the object data/source would be at

url.net/nd/something.swf

and if the script was on

url.com/2011/10/somethingelse

then the object data/source would be at

url.net/nd/somethingelse.swf

i'm sure this is possible because I've seen similar scripting done for something else I had where entering text in a box in a webpage would put that text at the end of a URL upon hitting a go button.

any help is greatly appreciated!

thanks!

Hello,

I was wondering if it is possible to filter visitors to a website based on their location. For example:

If a Visitor is from Ohio, route them to ohio.html
If a visitor is from Montana, rote them to montana.html.

I'm not sure how to make this happen, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Brian

is there a way to link to a location on a page like in the example below but instead of the link existing on the same page as the target location, the link exist on one page and points to a bookmark on another page?

So for example, I want index.html to have a link that takes the user to chapter 4 of content.html (which is half way down the page)

Code:

<p>
<a href="#C4">See also Chapter 4.</a>
</p>

<h2>Chapter 1</h2>
<p>This chapter explains ba bla bla</p>

<h2>Chapter 2</h2>
<p>This chapter explains ba bla bla</p>

<h2>Chapter 3</h2>
<p>This chapter explains ba bla bla</p>

<h2><a name="C4">Chapter 4</a></h2>
<p>This chapter explains ba bla bla</p>

Hello, I use iframe to center the page because I am unsure of how to have the page center any other way. But when I do it, there is a "padding" at the top of the image in IE but there is not this padding when using FireFox. do you know why this is? Thanks!

im going to use this webpage as an example http://danalverez.webs.com/index.htm

im creating a webpage in dreamweaver and im having a problem
i uploaded a background image and centered it and thats fine. But now im trying to creat links over the background image and i can, but when i view the webpage in IE the links or text move everytime i maxamize or minamize the webpage. when you maxamize or minamize the webpage above, the home button link is always in the same location on the page. When i max/min my website the home button jumps to the left or right. when its minamized its in the correct location, but when i maxamise the page the button is to much left.

Hi there i was wondering if it was possible to click on an image that has been mapped and have it open another web page but at a specific location. for example i have a large image of the U.S. i would like to have a smaller image that is mapped to be able to jump to the larger image at that specific location like if i click the northeast porition of the U.S. on the small image i would like it to load the larger image at the northeast porition of the U.S. using just html if possible? thanks for any help.

I'm using Eclipse as my IDE, and getting a warning from it's XHTML validator saying:
Invalid location of tag (br). The code is as follows:

Code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" 
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
	<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" />
	<title>Animation Master</title>
</head>
<body style="font-family: sans-serif">
	<h1>Testing</h1>
	<br />
	<br />
	<br />
	<p>Blah blah</p>
</body>
</html>

It happens at each <br /> tag, so I'm getting the warning three times.

Why is this?

Hi,

I am working on a website: hxxp://www.webjuicer.be

When I click on "contact" I've added <a name="top"> tag on that page, that's why the url includes #top. (the browser should automatically scroll down to that tag on the page)

Normally, like I've always learnt, this is a basic tag and should work in all browsers.

However, it seems that Internet explorer has more difficulties with it. In IE it only works when I press "contact" twice, and therefore it's useless.

Any one knows what I've did wrong?

Thnx very much!

Trying to see if someone has a work around for this. I have a vbulletin forum with a shoutbox and I would like to move the shoutbox to a page outside of the forum. I did this before with an iframe when I had phpbb3 but have not been able to do this with vbulletin.

I now have the shoutbox on an external page but it still contains the header and footer and I have not found a way to remove these. I just need the actual shoutbox approx 730px by 350px. Is there a way to pull only the specific area of a page to another page?

*****Edit Resolved *********

Hi all --

I'm having an interesting problem. I'm designing a web page that has a navigation banner (home - programs - schedule of events - contact us - downloads) that is made up of a .png for each page (i.e. home.png, programs.png, etc). My page is 1000px wide and all of the navigation banner's images add up to 1000px wide.

I'm using JavaScript to create an onMouseOver and onMouseOut effect on each of the images. The problem that I'm having occurs when I tried to add a link (either by <A HREF= or using an image map). Whenever I add a link to the image, a small (3px) area of white space shows up to the right of the image. This shifts all of my other images 3px to the right (and 3 more for each link I add to subsequent images) thus making the total width of the navigation banner over 1000px and the last image gets shoved to a new line.

I can find no way to get rid of this white space other than to remove the link from the image. There is no property on the page that adds any sort of padding, margins, or borders to images or links, so I can see no property that has to be changed.

Help! How do I get rid of this white space but still keep the link on the image??

[I posted this question on the Adobe forum to no avail, below is a screencap I took of the issue I'm having]

Thanks in advance!
//kl

PS - I am using both IE8 and Chrome to view this webpage. I've set all the margins/padding/borders to 0px. Here is my CSS and the part of the code that pertains to the navigation banner.

CSS:
Code:

<style type="text/css">
<!--
body {
font: 100% Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
background: #666666;
margin: 0; /* it's good practice to zero the margin and padding of the body element to account for differing browser defaults */
padding: 0;
text-align: center; /* this centers the container in IE 5* browsers. The text is then set to the left aligned default in the #container selector */
color: #000000;
background-image: url(images/blue.bg.png);
background-repeat: repeat;
background-color: #009;
}
.oneColFixCtr #container {
width: 1000px;  /* using 20px less than a full 800px width allows for browser chrome and avoids a horizontal scroll bar */
background: #FFFFFF;
margin: 0 auto; /* the auto margins (in conjunction with a width) center the page */
border: 0px solid #000000;
text-align: left; /* this overrides the text-align: center on the body element. */
}
.oneColFixCtr #mainContent {
padding: 0 20px; /* remember that padding is the space inside the div box and margin is the space outside the div box */
}
body, td, th {
color: #333;
}
#main_banner2 {
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
height: auto;
width: 1000px;
}
-->
</style>
 
</head>

Nav Banner:
NOTE:: below HAS to be all one paragraph because if i insert a carriage return in between images, it also adds the white space...

So in January 2006 I posted a question about "making two buttons in one"



3 years and 5 months later i am happy to announce that I have found a solution.

Ok, so no I have not spent the last three years looking, but the need for one came around again yesterday so I revisited the project. All I needed was "simple" image toggle. Image 'A' click it once it changes to image 'B' click it again it changes back to image 'A'

All the "image toggle" codes I could find were extremely complex. I thought I had finally found one, it wasn't perfect, but it was the smallest and most basic thing I could find.

HTML Code:

<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
.on {background-image:url(playlist_btn.png); background-repeat:no-repeat;}
.off {background-image:url(playlist_btn_x.png); background-repeat:no-repeat;}
</style>

<script language="javascript">
function togglestyle(el){if(el.className == "on") {el.className="off";} else {el.className="on";}}
</script>

</head>

<body>
<div id="onoff" class="playlist_btn"><img src="blank.gif" width="50 height="50" onclick="togglestyle(onoff)"></div>
</body>
</html>

I tested it, it worked, so I considered problem solved. I placed it in my page and nothing. Turns out it wont work with a doc type - so it's useless.

Other problems, I'm not big on using "blank gif's" unless I have to, if you want multiple image toggles you need a new JS function for each one, and two lines of css as well. And, though I rarely use image rollovers anymore, it would certainly not be possible in this method.

So it was back to the drawing board. Well, I had actually already found the solution a few minuets prior to finding out that the above code is so good. I had coded a button that on rollover shows a tooltip, when you click the button, the text in the tool tip, changes, chick again and it reverts. All done with a simple showHide javascript function, that i am finfing out has many uses.

here is the awesome code:
Code:

function showHide(elementid){
if (document.getElementById(elementid).style.display == 'none'){
document.getElementById(elementid).style.display = '';
} else {
document.getElementById(elementid).style.display = 'none';
}
}

function hideShow(elementid){
if (document.getElementById(elementid).style.display == ''){
document.getElementById(elementid).style.display = 'none';
} else {
document.getElementById(elementid).style.display = '';
}
}

I wont take credit for the showHide code, but I will take credit for the hideShow portion, obviously a monkey could have coded the revers, but iot does make it that much more universal. As the original code was designed to show something that was hidden, add the revers to hide something that is showing and it's perfect.

Now I will take a moment to say, though I have yet to find a problem with the code, it seems to work in most browsers, firefox, ie, safari, and validates for WC3 - In sure it has it's flaws. Until now, to show and hide divs I had used the MM_showHideLayers JavaScript function, which by default used the visibility style. It is of course a good script, and has many uses, it's not very big, but it is somewhat complex. The other thing to think about is that invisible objects still take up space. That's what is cool about the display:none: style, is that is not only invisible but it doesn't take up space.

So here is how I used the above to JavaScript to make a simple onclick image toggle:

HTML Code:

<img id="on" src="on.png" width="50" height="50" onClick="javascript:hideShow('on'); javascript:showHide('off')" alt="on">
<img id="off" src="off.png" width="50" height="50" onClick="javascript:hideShow('off'); javascript:showHide('plus')" style="display:none;" alt="off">

Cool huh? Now this example does not have a rollover either, but since it uses to individual images and is not replacing one image wioth another you could easily apply a rollover to both images. But, hold on, look at the above code, isn't that essentially a rollover? Change the first onClick to onMouseOver and the second to onMouseOut and look at that a 'brand new' method for mouseovers.

So lets take a look at this for a second, and compare MM_swapImage to this new hideShow method. As far as CSS rollovers I definitely prefer them to the MM_swapImage method, as they use a minimal amount of code. However they actually take a lot of math, construction the buttons is somewhat tedious, because css buttons use 1 image and change it's position, to work well you have to use a "blank.gif" and the the css can really add up if you have a lot of buttons:

Also, you can't go directly to a button in the document, you have to fish through the css to make any adjustments. But they are fast, they don't need to be preloaded and... they are pretty cool. But anyway, swapImage and hideShow...



The left is the MM_swapImage method. Now when you use the swapImage js you also have to use MM_swapImgRestore, MM_findObj, MM_preloadImages. You don't have to use the preload script but it does make thing work faster... supposedly, but that requires a onload script in the body tag, and if you have a lot of rollovers your body tag can get really long really quick. So what are the advantages, well we know for sure it works, and you only need on image in the document, however actualy having the image you are "swapping" too actually in the document can add functionality.

So as you can see, on the right, the showHide method is, in total code, much smaller. True you do need to use two images, so the total code in the body is longer but, it's more than evened out bu the minimal JavaScript, and I think it's worth it. You don't need to use a preloader, you have full control over both images, the up and over state, and unlike the swapImage method, though it's rare you would need to, your up and over images can actually be different sizes, which is kind of cool.

So here's the basic code for a rollover:
HTML Code:

<img id="up" src="up.png" width="50" height="50" onMouseOver="javascript:hideShow('up'); javascript:showHide('over')" alt="up">
<a href="http://google.com"><img id="over" src="over.png" width="50" height="50" onMouseOut="javascript:hideShow('over'); javascript:showHide('up')" style="display:none;" alt="over" border="0"></a>

To add a link the button you just apply it to the "over state" image. And unlike swapImage, though it is overkill, you can also add a "downstate" image quite easily.

So, back to the on/off button here is how you would code it using showHide with rollovers.
HTML Code:

<img id="on" src="on.png" width="50" height="50" onMouseOver="javascript:hideShow('on'); javascript:showHide('onover')" alt="on">
<img id="onover" src="on_over.png" width="50" height="50" onMouseOut="javascript:hideShow('onover'); javascript:showHide('on')" onClick="javascript:hideShow('onover'); javascript:showHide('offover')"  style="display:none;" alt="onover">
<img id="off" src="off.png" width="50" height="50" onMouseOver="javascript:hideShow('off'); javascript:showHide('offover')" style="display:none;" alt="off">
<img id="offover" src="off_over.png" width="50" height="50" style="display:none;" onMouseout="javascript:hideShow('offover'); javascript:showHide('off')" onClick="javascript:hideShow('onover'); javascript:showHide('off')"alt="offover">

So here is what is going on:
you have the upstate on.png image, when you mouse over it on.png is hidden and on_over.png is displayed. When you click on_over.png it is hidden and off_over.png is display, mouse off it and off.png is displayed. Make scene?

Now be aware, when you click, you are also in a scene "mousing off" so some flickering can occur. Firefox handles everything pretty well, IE and Safari not so much. When you click the on_over.png the click tells it to hide on_over.png and show the off_over.png, at the same time the mouseoff tells it to hide on_over.png and show the on.png. So fortunately the toggle with rollovers isn't perfect, but perhaps some more tweaking of the code or maybe, in this case swapImage would work better to do the rollovers...

But all in all I'd say its a solid concept. If you feel compiled to do so, reply with any comments, concerns or flaws you see.

Hey guys. I need a little help with my HTML image rotator.

Everything works fine, except the images don't show up on the right slide. All 4 images show up on the first slide. I can't figure out what's wrong. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
