HTML - Creating A Scaleable Image Map
Hey there! I'm using CSS to make the size and placement of all of my images scale with the size of the window. Unfortunately, I'm also trying to use an image map to link to the subsections of the website. When I program the image map normally, the coordinates don't scale with the size of the image, meaning the smaller the window gets the less accurate my links become. Is there a way I can set my image map to look for coordinates that scale with the size of the image?
Similar Tutorialsproblem fixed - feel free to delete. It turns out to be a lot harder than I thought to appropriately deal with different screen resolutions, so I've come here for help. I want my navigation menu to stay fixed left, the ad fixed right, and the center area to shrink with the screen. Additionally I want a lower resolution limit, at which point you have to sidescroll, and an upper width limit, at which point the page centers itself. Everything works except for one problem. I fixed my earlier problems by changing the positioning of the ad div. now it reads: "position:absolute; left:850px;". Everything else now works as intended. The problem is, I want the ad to reposition intelligently too. Secondly, for some reason I can't get the table to match the div's width - it's fixed at a larger point than my min-width. Is there some built-in unchangeable min table width? I am using a stylesheet, so it is probably easier to just view the source code from my website he http://sk88leds.freehostia.com/ Thanks for reading 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 {

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 */
}

To create a CMS in PHP, is the best way to do it to save sections of the html to either say either a db or text file. This seems a bit messy but maybe the best way, for example say i have this html and i want to have a user be able to add more images to their page by just uploading an image and clicking a button ........, HTML Code: <table>
<tr>
<td> <img src = "i1.jpg" ></td>
</tr>
</table>
Now i could save, HTML Code: <table> <tr> to say text1.txt and HTML Code: </tr> </table> to text2.txt, and the images to say text3.txt, HTML Code: <td> <img src = "i1.jpg" ></td> i could then say something like, PHP Code: <?php $fname = "text1.txt"; $fo = fopen($fname,r); $fr1 = fread($fo,filesize($fname)); fclose($fo); $fname = "text2.txt"; $fo = fopen($fname,r); $fr2 = fread($fo,filesize($fname)); fclose($fo); $fname = "text3.txt"; $fo = fopen($fname,r); $fr3 = fread($fo,filesize($fname)); fclose($fo); $f_final= $fr1.$fr3.$fr2; echo $f_final; ?> This would put the contents of all 3 text files into a single variable $f_final so that all i would need to do if i needed a new image added is add that images html to text3.txt. This seems like a pretty good way of doing things, i assume this is how CMS systems are made pretty much?? So basically i could have a user frontend "addimg.html" which is for adding the image, HTML Code: <form method="post" action ="newimage.php"> <input tpye = "text" name = "img1"> <input type = "submit"> </form> and then a modified version of the above php, PHP Code: <?php //save new image name to text3.txt *********** $newimgge_to_ADD = $_POST["img1"]; $fname = "text3.txt"; $fo = fopen($fname,a); fwrite($fo,"\r\n".'<td> <img src = "'.$newimgge_to_ADD.'.jpg"> </td>'); fclose($fo); //********************** //Open all the text files one by one and save their contents to a variable ***** $fname = "text1.txt"; $fo = fopen($fname,r); $fr1 = fread($fo,filesize($fname)); fclose($fo); $fname = "text2.txt"; $fo = fopen($fname,r); $fr2 = fread($fo,filesize($fname)); fclose($fo); $fname = "text3.txt"; $fo = fopen($fname,r); $fr3 = fread($fo,filesize($fname)); fclose($fo); //****************** //Combine the contents of all 3 varables to one varable f_final ********** $f_final= $fr1.$fr3.$fr2; //********************* //Print out the result ********************* echo $f_final; //************************** ?> This would need a good bit of tweaking but i just want to know if i am on the right tracks.. I am a newbie and need your help creating a webpage displaying names with the address.the height and width of the table should be 120 pixels.The border thickness be 5 pixels,border color red and bkground grey. Pls Help Popup Windows: The Basics We'll begin the tutorial by creating a basic popup window. The technique described here addresses all the major issues in popups. The popup always comes to the front. Different links can target the same popup. The code is simple and easily modified. Everything for the rest of the turorial is a variation on the theme described here. The code in this page creates a popup that is opened from a link. In this section we'll show the code with just the minimal description you need to get it going. First, copy this script into the <HEAD> section of your page: HTML Code: <SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript">
<!--
function popup(mylink, windowname)
{
if (! window.focus)return true;
var href;
if (typeof(mylink) == 'string')
href=mylink;
else
href=mylink.href;
window.open(href, windowname, 'width=400,height=200,scrollbars=yes');
return false;
}
//-->
</SCRIPT>
For now we'll skip the details of how the script works, and move to the next step. The script above opens the popup, but something needs to run the script. The most common situation is that the script is run when the user clicks on a link. A link like the following would run the script: HTML Code: <A HREF="popupbasic.html" onClick="return popup(this, 'notes')">my popup</A> Most of the link is as usual. The URL of the page being linked to is in the HREF attribute. We've added an additional attribute called onClick. Copy the code as it is into your link, with only a small modification. The second argument of the popup() -- 'notes' -- indicates name of the popup window. Every popup window should have its own unique name. Be sure to put the name in single quotes (''). So if you want to name the popup 'stevie' then this would be the code: HTML Code: <A HREF="popupbasic.html" onClick="return popup(this, 'stevie')">my popup</A> Read This Next Part Or You'll Go Insane Trying to Figure Out Why Your Popup Doesn't Work A small but crucial point is often overlooked. The command in onClick must begin with return or the script won't work. Be sure to start the command with return like this: HTML Code: onClick="return popup(this, 'notes')" And don't put a space in the page name between the single quotes. If you do, the link will act just like a regular link. Popup Windows: From an Image Map In our first variation we'll open the popup from an image map instead of from a regular anchor. We'll use the same script as from our first example. With that script, an <AREA ...> tag in an image map can be made to open a popup in exactly the same way as an <A ...> tag: HTML Code: <MAP NAME="index"> <AREA HREF="mypopup.html" ALT="My Popup" COORDS="10,10,120,120" SHAPE=RECT onClick="return popup(this, 'gloss')"> <AREA SHAPE=RECT ALT="Your Popup" COORDS="140,10,180,50" HREF="yourpopup.html" onClick="return popup(this, 'gloss')"> <AREA SHAPE=DEFAULT NOHREF> </MAP> <IMG SRC="mymap.gif" HEIGHT=130 WIDTH=190 ALT="Image Map Example" BORDER="0" USEMAP="#index"> Popup Windows: Opening Automatically In the first two examples (Popup Windows: The Basics and Popup Windows: From an Image Map) the popup is opened when the user clicks on something. In this example the popup opens automatically. We'll use the same script as in the first example. Copy this script in the <HEAD> section of your page: HTML Code: <SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript">
<!--
function popup(mylink, windowname)
{
if (! window.focus)return true;
var href;
if (typeof(mylink) == 'string')
href=mylink;
else
href=mylink.href;
window.open(href, windowname, 'width=400,height=200,scrollbars=yes');
return false;
}
//-->
</SCRIPT>
This time, instead of running the script from a link we'll run it from the onLoad attribute of the <BODY ...> tag. HTML Code: <BODY onLoad="popup('autopopup.html', 'ad')">
The command in onLoad is run when the document is finished loading. Like in our previous example, the command runs popup(), but this time the first argument for popup() is a little different. In the previous example we put this, meaning the link itself, and the script got the URL from the link. In this case there is no link so we pass the actual URL to open. So in our example we put 'autopopup.html'. Popup Windows: From a Form For our next variation on the popup theme we're going to open the popup from a form. In this example we're going to change the script around. The following script is custom designed for opening a popup from a form. It works with forms that use both POST and GET. Copy the following script exactly as-is into the <HEAD> section of your document: HTML Code: <SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript">
<!--
function popupform(myform, windowname)
{
if (! window.focus)return true;
window.open('', windowname, 'height=200,width=400,scrollbars=yes');
myform.target=windowname;
return true;
}
//-->
</SCRIPT>
Now we'll add some code so that the popup opens when the user submits the form. Add an onSubmit attribute to <FORM ...> tag: HTML Code: <FORM METHOD=POST ACTION="../cgi-bin/mypopupcgi.pl" onSubmit="popupform(this, 'join')"> The first argument for popupform() is always this, meaning the form itself. The second argument, 'join' in this case, is a unique name for the popup. Popup Windows: Targeting the Opener Once a popup window has been created, linking from the popup back to the main window (i.e. the window which opened the popup) is a little trickier than might be expected. The problem is that the main window doesn't have a "name" the way the popup window does. Fortunately, JavaScript provides an answer in the form of opener. To create links in the popup window that target back to the main window, first put this JavaScript in the <HEAD> of the popup page: HTML Code: <SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript">
<!--
function targetopener(mylink, closeme, closeonly)
{
if (! (window.focus && window.opener))return true;
window.opener.focus();
if (! closeonly)window.opener.location.href=mylink.href;
if (closeme)window.close();
return false;
}
//-->
</SCRIPT>
A link that uses this script looks like this: HTML Code: <A HREF="rbex.html" onClick="return targetopener(this)">my page</A> Popup Windows: Closing When They Go to the Opener In the previous example the link in the popup targets the main page, but the popup stays open in the background after the user clicks on the link. In this page we'll set the link so that it closes the popup after the click. targetopener takes three parameters. The first is always this, meaning the link itself. The second and third parameters are optional and default to false. (Notice we don't use them in the example above, we'll get to them shortly.) The second parameter indicates if the popup should close. The third is if the link should actually send the opener to the linked resource, or if the opener should just get the focus regardless of what its current page is. The third parameter provides a safe way to close the popup after closing, but still having a link to an existing page if the window isn't actually a popup (such as if the user found the page through a search engine). When the user clicks on the link, targetopener checks if the browser has the focus command (a few older browsers don't) and if the current window was opened by another window. If these conditions are true, then the opener window gets the focus, the opener is directed to the referenced URL, and the script returns false. Because the function returns false, the link does not go on to the URL (the script has already done that). Note that the link which targets the opener is a little different than the link that opened the popup window to begin with. In this link, onClick says "return goOpener(this)"... the links on the previous pages did not use return. By default, the popup window stays open but is in the background. If you want the popup to close after going back to the opener, add a second parameter of true to the targetopener function call: HTML Code: <A HREF="rbex.html" onClick="return targetopener(this,true)">main page</A> please help me everyone i need a form with: radio buttons - where you can only choose one option some options and a submit button, i can edit it to how i want it. just put 'example' or something where i should put things. Thank you everyone in advance. I would be very greatful. yrag_football@yahoo.co.uk I'm having problems trying to create a header bar for my site. Basically I want something like the blue bar at the top at http://m.digg.com/ Essentially a bar that goes across the top of my site with a background color of my choice and my logo in the center of it. How would I go about doing this? How I can do designed polls by myself? For example like in this site: http://easy.pro-gaming.co.il/m/inc_form.php thanks to the helpers I'm trying to create a link to a file that is located on my microsoft local server from a web page that is on a UNIX webserver. I'm using Dreamweaver CS5 and IE 8 I've set the link up as file:///M|/folder/folder/file.xlsx Link doesn't work. I've also tried M:\folder\folder\file.xlsx M:/folder/folder/file.xlsx file:///M:\folder\folder\file.xlsx file:///M/folder/folder/file.xlsx file://M/folder/folder/file.xlsx None of these work. What am I doing wrong? Hi: I wish to create a 'blog' that *I* control, and where the blog content would reside on my own Apache Server at my home. Is this reasonable and/or easy to do, OR should I use a commercial blog site (e.g., www.blogger.com) For example, I'd like my visitors to access my site (www.myblogsite.org) and then 'Vent their Spleens' on the subject of interest (which will be Heallthcare in the USA and its prospects for change, and the rantings about 'socialism' on the Fox Channel). Thanks for any guidance. -Mel Smith Hi everyone, Thank god I found this forum. My HTML experience is pretty limited and something has been driving me insane trying to figure out how to do. All I want to do is create a form that when filled out the information is sent to my email. I thought this is how I write it HTML Code: <form action="MAILTO:me@myemail.com" method="post" enctype="text/plain"> <input type="######"> <br> <input type="######"> <br> <input type="######"> <br> <input type="submit" value="Send"> </form> Then that information would be sent to my email. When I try it out all it does is open up my outlook account with the details in there. Please someone help before my monitor goes flying out the window. Cheers Hi , I have created an announcement box using html and javascript.It can be moved inside the page where ever we want. But along with this feature I need to make it stay on the screen even if people go to other webpages.How can it be possible?Please giv me reply as soon as possible. Hello. =) I'd like to create a web form, but I don't understand scripting languages (yet)...so I need a user-friendly, WYSIWYG form creator [*] . I have FrontPage 2003, but that's not "WYSIWYG"-enough for me. Plus I heard that FrontPage isn't that great when it comes to coding things. I also want my form creator to let me: -Insert "special fields/code" (see #1, #2, #3 and #4 - from DynamicDrive.com) -Validate all email addresses typed in the form -Send results to my email, and store certain fields/answers to an Excel document -Hide my email address from spambots (it's called "encrypting", right?) There are websites that'll make the form for me, but I want to host the finished form (and accompanying files) on MY OWN SERVER. The best site I could find (phpFormGenerator) will let me download everything. But it'll also post my forms -- and files -- in public. So my email address, database info, etc. will be available for spambots and hackers. =\ Thanks in advance! [*] I'd prefer a freeware creator. If you know some good shareware, I ONLY want one that lets me create a fully-functional (ad-free, watermark free, 100% working for life) web form. I don't care if it expires in 30 days...as long as I get my one form made, no strings attached. PS: Since I'm a complete n00b when it comes to web forms, I have a few more questions to ask (mostly database related). But I'll do that later. I'm trying to create a table. And instead of trying to explain it I'll just upload the code in a Notepad file. I wrote TABLE HERE where i want the table. It will be much appreciated if someone could help me. I'm trying to learn a little bit of html. I've got some basic knowledge now, but I can't figure out one thing. I want to make a button to go to another webpage. How do I add webpages to my website and access them through a button? Hello All, I am looking to create a website very similar to this http://www.loserstatus.com/ that is my friends site and I currently have this www.canapictures.com . I like how simple his layout is but it looks sooo much better than mine lol. He hired someone to build it so he has no idea how it was made. Does anyone know if there is a template or something I can use to make something similar, I mainly just want the scrolling box with pictures that are linked to videos like he has on the top of the page below the banner. Ok so i've built plenty of general websites using fairly basic html and they've all been pretty successful and people have been pleased but now I need to build an online shop for myself and i'm not 100% I have the know how to do it (but I can't afford to get it done elsewhere so eek I need to try..) Is it safe to create a webshop and integrate a checkout system using plain old html? There is now way to disable source viewing from what I understand... And if so, can anyone suggest a really easy to understand and integrate checkout to go for? This is the point that has really confused and made me a bit unsure if i'm able to do this. There's so many that it would be good to know of a UK one that I shold be able to get to grips with! Thanks Does anyone know how to create a spin button control, if so can someone point me in a direction to accomplish this... Ok this is probably not in the right section because i do not see a PHP form but oh well sorry, so i want to make like a poll script and stuff for people to vote how would i do it. This is what i wanted for example: "Who do you want to be DJ of The Week?" -DJ Brad -DJ Mod -DJ Kris -DJ Physco -DJ Laugh SUBMIT BUTTON Something like that BUT when they click Submit it takes them to a page that shows "thanks for voting" but i do not want them to see the results on who voted for who the only person that should see the votes is the Admin which is me, possibly could it be sent to my email? I know how to edit it i just need a full script of what i just explained the rest i can edit sorry if its to much if you need more explaining just add my msn its dj-cann0n@live.com hit me up their. |
