HTML - Help With Launching A Pop-up Message
I'm using a php video-sharing site script where you would make a purchase to view a video. The code below is from the html search results page, where a list of thumbnails appears when you search certain keywords.
Currently when you select the thumbnail, to view the video, prior to paying, a page pops-up in a pop-up box(inner_purchase.htm page) showing a message. I asked someone (JG) to help me change it to just a pop-up message box to appear, rather than the inner_purchase page, and he added code below called Custom Message Block, but the inner_purchase page still appears, instead of the Custom Message Block. Can you help me figure out how I can make this so the Custom Message Block appears, rather than the inner_purchase page? Thanks. Any help or suggestions will be appreciated.

I tried coding a .HTA file but I got javascript errors etc when I tried to run it. All this stuff didnt work for me: Quote: var ws = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell"); ws.Exec("C:\\Program Files\\myprogram.exe"); In the end the best I could do was to have IE open a Windows Explorer window to my folder and put a file there saying "Double-Click-To-Install.exe" (I am shipping a DVD which autoruns index.html which has instructions etc on install options etc. I can't call directly my setup.exe from the autorun because there are many options the user can choose from.) ----- I forgot to mention that Firefox does not open a windows explorer window. How can I get this working as IE does ? This is what I use to open my window: (its attached to a button) Quote: onclick="parent.location='INSTALLER1'" I need to to launch a form from clicking on a button. How do I do that? I have a form working that emails the contents of the form. Also, is there anyway to pass the id or the name of the button that launched the form. Thanks!! Hi all, I'm trying to create a web application module that allows users to bookmark links to favourite applications on their client PCs. One of these applications I want them to be able to access is Outlook. Any ideas how this can be done using Javascript? What I hope to be able to do is to launch Outlook from an "a href" link. Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

I want to add to none of my questions and I cannot find the way to do it. Todd Hey all! I'm new to these forums, but by the looks of the community I can foresee myself gaining a lot of knowledge from being here. I've searched around, but haven't really found a clear answer to the problem I am having. Here's the deal, I have my own small local IT business and recently decided It's time to build a website. I am Cisco CCNA certified, and CompTia A++ Hardware and OS support certified, so I know my way around computers. However, I have ZERO knowledge of HTML/CSS/PHP ect. This of course was a huge gap in my knowledge, and the reason why I have waiting so long to get a website up and running. I am slowly learning, but everybody needs help at some point. So this is where I am at. I have created my basic website based off a template. I have modified it quite a bit, and have begun to understand basic HTML and CSS. However, I am stuck at the "Message Box, or Contact Us" Form. I am assuming the the code behind this form will either send the Users message via Email, or text document on my server. After examining the code I am completely lost as to how it works, so I need some help here. My Website is located at http://www.olsonit.com The problem page is the "Contact Us" page. Here is the code for said Message box. <tr> <td align="left" valign="top"><form name="form2" method="post" action="" style="margin:0px "> <table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="usial2"> <tr align="left" valign="top"> <td height="39"><strong>First name</strong><br> <input name="text25" type="text" class="intext" style="width:100%; height:17px" onClick="this.value=''"></td> <td width="15" rowspan="4"> </td> <td><strong>Phone</strong><br> <input name="text252" type="text" class="intext" style="width:100%; height:17px" onClick="this.value=''"></td> <td width="15" rowspan="4"> </td> <td width="172" rowspan="4"><table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="usial2"> <tr> <td><strong>Message</strong><br> <textarea name="textarea" class="intext" style="width:100%; height:126px; overflow:auto" onClick="this.value=''"></textarea></td> </tr> <tr> <td height="27" align="right" valign="bottom"><input name="reset" type="reset" style="width:56px; height:19px; background-image:url(images/clear.jpg); border:0px none; cursor:hand; cursor:pointer; margin-right:7px " value=""> <input name="submit22222" type="submit" style="width:56px; height:19px; background-image:url(images/send.jpg); border:0px none; cursor:hand; cursor:pointer; " value=""></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr align="left" valign="top"> <td height="39"><strong>Last name</strong><br> <input name="text253" type="text" class="intext" style="width:100%; height:17px" onClick="this.value=''"></td> <td><strong>Fax</strong><br> <input name="text254" type="text" class="intext" style="width:100%; height:17px" onClick="this.value=''"></td> </tr> <tr align="left" valign="top"> <td height="39"><strong>E-mail</strong><br> <input name="text256" type="text" class="intext" style="width:100%; height:17px" onClick="this.value=''"></td> <td><strong>State</strong><br> <input name="text257" type="text" class="intext" style="width:100%; height:17px" onClick="this.value=''"></td> </tr> <tr align="left" valign="top"> <td><strong>Zip</strong><br> <input name="text258" type="text" class="intext" style="width:100%; height:17px" onClick="this.value=''"></td> <td><strong>Address</strong><br> <input name="text259" type="text" class="intext" style="width:100%; height:17px" onClick="this.value=''"></td> </tr> </table> </form></td> </tr> </table> </div></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> Hopefully I'll be able to get this all figured out, since I'm sure this will be a main source of contact between my Clients and I. Any help is much appreciated! -Evan How would I set something up on a website hosted by the server, were I can implement a text box that can be update by not updating the actual page it self, so I dont have to continually update the actual page rather some other form be able to update current news, and dates of certain events. If you get what Im trying to say. Not sure if it would be HTMl or PHP. Thanks for the help! Hi all, I got a unique issue. I would like to redirect from one site (which is obsolete and the owner no longer wishes to use) to the updated one. I know that PHP has a redirect function, but instead of just redirecting and not giving a heads up of what is happening, I would like to display a message to the user indicating that the current site is no longer used and that the new one is where all the new/updated stuff is located. Sorry if this is a wrong place to post, but this is a pretty broad problem from my perspective. Is there something that I can do only in pure HTML? Would I need to use JavaScript (which I don't know jack about)? Can I just use a scripting language like PHP? I've have some sound files that are a little slow to load....it is there a way to display a message that says something like: "Loading please wait?" Thanks guys! Jeff I've been trying to put together my musician's directory page, but I'm getting an error message in the status bar of my browser upon loading the page, and attempting to use the drop-down box I created to select a state-specific page. The drop-down box isn't working as it's supposed to immediately redirect the bisitor to the selected page, and this is what it the error says: Line: 16 Char: 1 Error: Object expected Code: 0 URL: http://www.geocities.com/josh*******...nections.html? 200618 What could be wrong? On some websites when they want to show you a message they make the screen dark behind the message. Is there any code snippets out there to help me re-create this effect? obviously i know how to make my own messages, its the see-through black fade that I am wondering about. how can i make my private message alert page refresh every 20 seconds or so. if you need to see the code am using just let me know. Thanks Hey all, My site looks the way I want it to, but I keep getting an error message at the bottom of the browser window when viewing it in Internet Explorer 7. When looking at the message it's saying that something is wrong in: Line: 6 Char: 1 Error: Not implemented Code: 0 URL: http://www.harmonihomeconsulting.com/ Any idea what might be wrong there? Here's the link to my site: http://www.harmonihomeconsulting.com. I'm not sure exacly how the lines are counted, but I think it's referring to the meta name or title tag? Is there a limit to the number of keywords that can be placed in a meta name tag? Thanks for your help on this - greatly appreciate it! Johanm Hey guys!

Hi every one I need help in my school assigment I have made a website in HTML for my school assigment its almost done rest this... When we open main page for eg Home.html when this open i want a audio or voice message WELCOME TO THIS SITE how can i do this please help Suggest coding for this i hv to sumit my assigment... Thanx in advance Hi there, I am working on a web page http://members.dodo.com.au/~rouslan/...ite/index.html Whenever trying to access it with Internet Explore (version 7) on the bar on top it says: "To help protect your security, Internet Explore has restricted this webpage from running scripts or ActiveX controls that could access your computer. Click here for options..." I know that some webmasters setup their scripts so that messages like that don't come up. But I basically copied the script from http://giveaways.galganov.net/mousebut0.html which has the same script and no irritating message when accessing it with Internet Explore. What should I change in my script in order to make Internet Explore to "shut up"? |
