HTML - Question About Urls

Before I begin, I'm new to these forums, and if someone can give me an answer, I plan to answer some of the more obvious questions around the forum.

Alright, so I've searched for around 2 hours trying to find this. Everytime I try, I end up running into people asking the same question over and over again, "How do I create a link that changes the iframe's page?" That is not the question I am asking.

Basically, I run a photoshop tutorial website, that I just started. I use an iframe, (named, "mainframe") and I know how to create links that change the iframe's contents. However, I want to submit some of my tutorials to other websites. The problem is that if I link to my website, the iframe loads the default page, and they have to navigate their way to the tutorial themselves, and that is not acceptable for those that actually need tutorials...

I've found the temporary solution of copying the index.html file and then modifying the html code to set the default iframe page to the tutorial, then linking to the copied index file. However, I would rather just have one index file, and change the iframe page using a single U.R.L.

To further simplify my question, I know it's going to look something similar to this:

"http://psprofessor.orgfree.com/index.html?framepage=http://psprofessor.orgfree.com/images/tutorials/patterns/home.html"

I know that this is not correct, and you need some sort of indicator as to what the name of the iframe is, I only showed that to show what type of question I'm asking. I also realise that the answer to my question may not include the word, "framepage."

The url of the page with the iframe is:
"http://psprofessor.orgfree.com/index.html"

The url of the page I want to load into the iframe is:
"http://psprofessor.orgfree.com/images/tutorials/patterns/home.html"

The name of the iframe is:
"mainframe"

Basically I want to compress all that into a single url that I can type into my browser, and when I type it into my browser, I want to go to the index page and have the iframe named, "mainframe" load the tutorial page as opposed to the default iframe page.

Thanks in advance to any assistance that I can get.

Hi everyone, I'm a total newbie and have zero previous HTML experience (but have experience reading code). I am modifying a site to support 3 radio buttons that switch the function of a single search bar. Could you guys please help me figure this out? Warning - all of this is copy-and-paste frankencode from the source, pieced together by guesswork. It may hurt your eyes. In case you're wondering, this is simply a design prototype for a class I am taking that requires user testing. The actual web development will be done by someone else if accepted. I will learn HTML properly later on.

Attached is an image of what I am thinking of.

And here is the pertinent code:
Code:

  <h2>Select the search engine that meets your needs.</h2>
  <form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="">
  <p>
    <label>
      <input name="searchEngineSelection" type="radio" id="searchEngineSelection_0" value="http://uci.worldcat.org/search" checked="checked" />
      <strong>Melvyl</strong></label>
    - Search libraries worldwide for books/music/other media.<br />
    <label>
      <input name="searchEngineSelection" type="radio" id="searchEngineSelection_1" value="http://antpac.lib.uci.edu/search/X?SEARCH=" />
      <strong>ANTPAC</strong></label>
    - Search and reserve material held at UCI Libraries.<br />
    <label>
      <input type="radio" name="searchEngineSelection" value="http://www.lib.uci.edu/search-site.html?cx=009602760963559712792%3Aoglsjsxdz5m&cof=FORID%3A10&ie=UTF-8&q=" id="searchEngineSelection_2" />
      <strong>Site</strong></label>
    - Find a specific page or information on the Library website.<br />
  </p>
</form>
<form accept-charset="UTF-8" action="http://uci.worldcat.org/search" id="wcfw" method="get" name="wcfw" target="_top">
  <input name="q" type="text" id="quicksearch_field" />
  <input align="top" id="quicksearch_go" onmouseout="goBtnOff()" onmouseover="goBtnOn()" src="./Home Page - UCI Libraries_files/button-go-off.gif" type="image" />
</form>

I have no idea how to do it so I am asking you gurus to help. Thanks so much for your time.

hi
www.ebolasoup.com <-- i want to do that on a page on my site so that any urls displayed on the page act as links, even the urls that are retrieved from the mysql db, oh and opening in new window, how is this done i cant find the answer anywhere?

I have several pages of webaddresses and I want all of the addresses to link but dont want to do it to each address, is there anyway to make each addresses automatically hyperlink to itself.

e.g www.cnn.com, i would like that address to be hot and when clicked it goes to cnn.com but i have pages and pages of addresses and dont want to have to type a target for each one.

Thanks

Hi,

While parsing relative URL segments "../" to hierarchical segments of the absolute URL , I notice that the <a> tag and the <link> tag do this differently. Take the following absolute and relative URLs:

absolute URL: http://www.a.com/a/b
relative URL: ../../b/c.css

The <a> tag resolves this to:

http://www.a.com/b/c.css

However the <link> tag resolves this to:

http://www.a.com/a/b/c.css



It appears that all other forms of resolving URLs are equal between both tags however, I have been trying to find the RFC specification on this but have had no luck. This document http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2396.txt does not contain any information regarding the <link> tag.

Is anyone here familiar with this or know where I could obtain more information.

Thanks,


Bandito
