HTML - Html Links....... (help!)
Hi, I'm coding a website in just HTML and am encountering a problem... When ever I try to link to another HTML document that I have coded, the browser won't load it.
This is the error message that appears: (BTW, I'm using Opera, if that helps) You tried to access the address file://localhost/C:/Users/Milkyway/HTML%20Files/TheFreebieSmartGuide.com/HTML%20Files/MegaFreebie.htm, which is currently unavailable. Please make sure that the Web address (URL) is correctly spelled and punctuated, then try reloading the page. NOTE: The "%20" appear where spaces would be. This is the line of code that I'm using: <A HREF="MegaFreebie.htm">Laptops.MegaFreebie.com</a>-A site where you can get a free notebook computer!<BR> Thanks for everyone's help. Similar TutorialsI just upgraded all my .HTML pages to .PHP . But now I noticed that when my pages pull up in the search engines like Google, Yahoo, and MSN. They still show the old .HTML links?? When they click on the webpages from the search engines results you get error 404 page cannot be found. How can I update the search engines or add code to my page so the search engines will reflect the new .PHP pages. Also it's been over a good week since I've update to .PHP Thank you all in advanced!!

I have successfully inserted it as a html into my website, and it is all working fine apart from one thing. The link is not working. I have followed all the tutorials correctly, and when you hover over it, it displays the link in the pane at the bottom of Internet Explorer. The problem is that I can't edit the flash file, and it did not come with any hyperlink added to the swf. Is there a way I can make this work so that it goes to the link when clicked on? This is my html code so far: <a href="http://www.rspb.org.uk" target="_blank"><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab" width="498" height="380" id="test1"> <param name="movie" value="http://s1.2mdn.net/1286313/GOLDFINCH-RSPB-LBANNER-SWF.swf " /><embed src="http://s1.2mdn.net/1286313/GOLDFINCH-RSPB-LBANNER-SWF.swf " width="468" height="60" name="test1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer" /></object> </a> To briefly explain what is happening.... I can hover over my links on my index.html page. Click any of them which directs me to the proper page... but any remaining licks change to the same as first previously clicked link and stays there Wierd. Therfore clicking does nothing at this point. I can refresh to the index page again and everthing is back to normal. I can hover over any link I want but if I click it it will go to the correct page , but then the remaining link all change to that one. Is the a problem with my html or css file? Thanks Hi So I'm creating a website and I made a banner in photoshop with the Home, About buttons etc on it. I have made text in HTML saying Home, About (and the other buttons) And I have placed it over the buttons on the jpg banner. But now I need to know how to make a box around the text, so anywhere in the box is clickable, rather than just the actual text. Then I can just make the links transparent and Im set! I am a noob... A pic for those confused..... probably all of you : ( i know its not looking great but im still only designing it) http://i1058.photobucket.com/albums/t402...17/pic.jpg I know I could just enlarge the text so it fits the buttons on the picture, but then I would have to change the margins and stuff again and there must be an easier way to do it and I want to learn how. Help will be appreciated PS: If you look at the pic, you'll see the dark grey div. If possible, I would like to know how to get rid of that space between the div and banner. Thanks Hello, I have the following problem: I want to put online a link to local file. The name of the file has spaces in it like in the example below: HTML Code: <a href='file://H:\Documents and Settings\admin\Desktop\a b.docx' target=_blank>test</a> I also tryed: HTML Code: <a href='file://H:\Documents%20and%20Settings\admin\Desktop\a%20b.docx' target=_blank>test</a> but it still does not open the file When viewing the link properties for the first example it shows: Code: file:///H:/Documents%20and%20Settings/admin/Desktop/a%20b.docx and for the second: Code: file:///H:/Documents%2520and%2520Settings/admin/Desktop/a%2520b.docx witch is obviously not correct since it is escaped... What am I doing wrong? How should I write the link code so that it will open a local file on my pc that has spaces in it's name? Thanks for the help... Hi there, I am not able to figure out why there are blue lines around my images on this page http://www.surveys.hottestdeals.info.

Kris I want to embed a social media block on my page that has all the little buttons and all the little links happy together. I almost had it too using this: <p> <a href="http://www.sample site.com" target="_blank"> <img src="http://my image" width="32" height="32" alt="RSS" title="RSS Coming Soon"> </a> This repeated so I had 6 little images for social media connections. In Internet Explorer all links worked, but there was a little line sticking out the right side of each image. In Safari only my last three image links worked but they have no annoying little line. Why? Anyone? Anyone? Hey guys, Okay so here is what I am trying to do. I am populating a table with some info from a database. The data should look something like this. Recipe Name - Prep Time - Total Time- Rating ============================ test data here 12 mins 15 mins 4.5 test data here 12 mins 15 mins 4.5 test data here 12 mins 15 mins 4.5 test data here 12 mins 15 mins 4.5 The names of the recipe is what I want to create as links so that when the user clicks on a certain RECIPE NAME another page will open showing only the data that goes with that recipe he/she clicked on. So far I have not gotten my code to work correctly, i dunno if i am missing something or doing it all wrong? I am using a while loop to generate all the recipes form the database. Again, i want the names of the recipes to be the links. Please help me!!!! Thanks for your time and help Here is my code: <? while( $row = mysql_fetch_array( $result ) ) { ?> <tr> <a href="ShowRecipe.php?id=<?=$row['id']?>"></a> <td><?=$row['name']?></td> <td><?=$row['preptime']?> mins</td> <td><?=$row['totaltime']?> mins</td> <td><?=$row['rating']?></td> </tr> <? } ?> Dont know if it is the right forum place I have html links on my web site. These links are to files. Recently when i clicked the link, the file "open / Save" dialogue appears, but now i receieve a page can not be displayed. Right click save as works i.E 7, What could be causing this Regards, Alan Hey guys, I have 2 separate problems, I'll be dealing with both in this thread. If possible, please answer asap, since I'm doing a website for my aunt's company, and I'm sort of running on a deadline. Any answers for either of the questions are welcome 1) Links - CSS Basically my stylesheet is supposed to set all my links to a black colour, even if visited, hovered over, etc, etc. The only problem is, the unvisited links are showing up in that awful default blue colour (I'm sure you all know what I mean). This is what my CSS looks like: A:link { text-decoration: underline; color:#000000; font-weight: bold; } A:visited { text-decoration: underline; color:#000000; font-weight: bold; } A:active { text-decoration: underline; color:#000000; font-weight: bold; } A:hover { text-decoration: underline; color:#000000; font-weight: bold; } Can anyone help me with this? 2) HTML/php contact form So I have a contact form on my website, and it seems to work fine. The only problem is that when my e-mail receives it, only the LAST field shows up (in this example, the 'message' field). The others just don't appear - it's as if the form only has that one field. I have two sets of code for my contact form - this is the one on the contact page: <form action="/contactform.php" method="post"> <b>Name:</b> <input type="text" name="cf_name"><br> <b>E-mail:</b> <input type="text" name="cf_email"><br> <b>Message:</b><br> <TEXTAREA NAME="cf_message" ROWS=4 COLS=30> </TEXTAREA><br><br> <center><input height="4px" type="submit" value="SEND"> <input type="reset" value="CLEAR"></center> </form> And this is the contactform.php file: <?php $field_name = $_POST['cf_name']; $field_email = $_POST['cf_email']; $field_message = $_POST['cf_message']; $mail_to = 'ggmdolly@gmail.com'; $subject = 'Message from a site visitor - '.$field_name; $body_message = 'Name: '.$field_name."\n"; $body_message = 'E-mail: '.$field_email."\n"; $body_message = 'Message: '.$field_message."\n"; $headers = 'From: '.$cf_email."\r\n"; $headers .= 'Reply-To: '.$cf_email."\r\n"; $mail_status = mail($mail_to, $subject, $body_message, $headers); if ($mail_status) { ?> <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"> alert('Thank you for your message. We will get back to you shortly.'); window.location = 'contact.php'; </script> <?php } else { ?> <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"> alert('Message failed. Please retry or send us an email directly.'); window.location = 'contact.php'; </script> <?php } ?> Thanks to anyone who can help! hi all, One strange issue with html <a> tags.We have XP English and Japanese machines and issue is getting only in XP Japanese machines.

In a form, I have to have certain radio buttons, or a select box pass a link into the SQL. The problem I am having is this code: Code: ... value="<img src="http:... ">" doesn't work. I have tried changing it to look like this: Code: value="/<img src=/"http:...../"/>" which still doesn't work. So how can I have a select box or radio buttons that when I choose a picture, it will pass that pictures html link to the next phase? How do I write it out? Could someone be specific please? If you don't understand, tell me what you're not getting and I will try and explain a bit better. What is the html code when placing multiple links on a single image?

For example... the image is a tree with three leaves. Rather than having the entire image being a link, how would I set up an html code that makes each individual leave a link? Hello, I'm trying to create a little page that auto updates itself whenever new files are added. The system is layered such that I have the top level index.html file, then in the same directory, I can add new folders that contain other index.html files. What I want to do is have the top level index.html file pick up every sub directory, grab the name from the directory, and then create a link to that directory's index.html file and then display it in the top level index.html file. So what I have right now is this: HTML Code: <body> <a href="myFirstDirectory/index.html">myFirstDirectory.html</a> </body> There is other stuff, but this is the part I need help with. As you can see, I also want the name that is displayed to be the same name as the directory. I do not know how to automate this if I have other folders in there like directory2, directory3, etc. Can anyone show me an example of how to do this or walk me through it? Thanks in advance. Hi everyone, I hope I have posted this in the right area. This is my first time posting here. I currently have my main pages listed at the top of my site as graphics (see fussybaby.ca). I would like to potentially remove these graphics and use text links instead - I had the graphics designed for me, so I can't just go in and make new ones, however I'd like to change/rearrange the links and add some new ones. So my question is: How hard is this to do? Is this something I need to hire someone to do for me? Thanks in advance for any advice! |
