HTML - Really Simple Text Box/image Question
Hello, noob here! I was just wondering how to code a textbox with an image. there'll be an image left aligned, with text to the right of it with an overlay around the whole thing. I know it sounds a little confusing so I made this image to help illustrate what I would like. (Edited with image editing programs, not HTML code that's what I would like!)
It'll be something sort of like this: http://www.htmlforums.com/attachment...1&d=1332654184 Similar TutorialsHi . Here is my script HTML Code: <table width="200" border="0">
<tr>
<td><span class="style2">
<input name="button" type="button" onclick="show('Hello')" value="Button 1" />
</span></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><span class="style2">
<input name="button22" type="button" onclick="show('Goodbye')" value="Button 2" />
</span></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><span class="style2">
<input name="button23" type="button" onclick="show('Good Morning')" value="Button 3" />
</span></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><span class="style2">
<input name="button2" type="button" onclick="show('Goodnight')" value="Button 4" />
</span></td>
</tr>
</table>
<p class="style2"> </p>
<p class="style2">
<textarea name="textarea" cols="50" rows="10" readonly id="area">
</textarea>
In the areas where it says, for example ="show('Goodnight')", how do I add HTML code in the brackets but as normal text? At the moment it is trying to read it as HTML code but I want it to be displayed as text. How would I accomplish this. It is probably pretty simple but I am a bit of a noob Thanks For the life of me I cannot keep the tree picture centered under my banner on my guild website. Does anyone know how to "hard lock" the picture to always stay centered as the webpage is sized? Here is the link to the site, go to "Members" and size the page you will see what I mean! http://www.guildvanaheim.com Thank you very much! -Taipans Wicked simple question: I have three images located in my "images folder" My Top level looks like this -images- (folder) -party- (folder) index.html In my "party" folder I have a page called "events.html" and I need to know how to call an image in my "events.html" located on the top level folder "image" I know if i move the event.htmls to the top level I could call it by this: <img src="/images/picture1.gif"> However I DONT want to move the events.html, so how do I call the image? O and I am not looking for the answer : put the "http://www.sitename.com/images/" in the image tag ANY HELP THANKS!!!!! How come this code: <img src="tick.gif" alt="+" width="15" height="15" />This is a test, etc. ...puts the image on one line, with the text "This is a test, etc." beneath it? I want the text to be on the same line as the image. (Prob. occurs with IE and FF.) Any ideas? Cheers, James 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. I am trying to get the copyright symbol into my web pages. It works fine in the HTML program but in firefox it becomes a '?' and in ie it becomes a square. The method I tried was using '©'. Can anyone help me out? simple question! okay hey guys first time post for me as im banging my head against a wall here.

So how do you put text in an image because I have a background color, and I have an image that's a different color, but I want to put text in the image, so how do i do that??? Thx I feel really dumb asking so elementary a question, but ya' gotta start somewhere. I'm trying to format a blog site for my coworkers. It's been a few years since I have done any web work. Anyway, I wrote up a very simple little HTML doc, but when I open it in my browsers, I just see code. The code is below. <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> <html> <head><title>BSGoad's Blog</title></head> <h2>Thoughts on the Day</h2> <body> <p align="center">Walking down the street today I met a man selling the <i>Spare Change</i> newspaper. I gave him a couple of bucks for a paper and, unprompted, he proceeded to tell me all that had happened with him in the past week. He had spent some time in New York with an old friend (maybe a relative, I'm not entirely sure), and had just returned to Boston. I was struck the immediacy of his comfort with me. He had nothing to hide. He had nothing of which to be ashamed. He just wanted someone with whom to share, who would listen. <br> Unfortunately, I was on the phone with my mom. I was hardly attentive. Not impolite, just distracted. Later I felt bad. I could have called mom back. I could talk with her anytime. instead I turned my ear back to my phone and bade the man a good day. I was reminded today of the prayer of St. Ignatius in dedication of the day:</p> <blockquote align="center"> Father, I dedicate this new day to you;<br> as I go about my work.<br> I ask you to bless those with whom I come in contact.<br> <p> Lord, I pray for all men and women<br> who work to earn their living;<br> give them satisfaction in what they do.<br> <p> Spirit of God,<br> comfort the unemployed and their families;<br> they are your children and my brothers and sisters.<br> I ask you to help them find work soon.<br> <p> - St. Ignatius Loyola </blockquote> </body> </html> There ya' go. What'm I doing wrong? Brandon Very simple question here. I'm pretty inexperienced with html, past the basics. I have copied the source code of a webpage into a text file and alltered it. I would like to open the file in Firefox and view this as it would appear as a web page. How would this be done? I have tried opening it as an html file, but the text only appears as the source code. Hi, I'll go straight to the point. my problem is that I need a text box to have a scroll bar and a fixed size, preferably in a "div" layer. On a more complicated note, I would really like my website not to refresh itself when you click on a menu button. The changing information should be all in the same layer. And, last but not least, and even more complicated, Is there any methods to keep the website updating from being super complicated, as in "I write stuff in any program or text box, and this text goes in that box", Blog or loggin style. Help is greatly appreciated. Thanks. First is i'm new at this, not doing this for fun am a college student studying computer and this is my project (to make a site) i know its bad to rely on someone but I've given up, i tried almost everything the professor thought me.

How can I create an HTML file on like a word processor, and then save it as a file and upload it to a hosting site? I have been learning HTML and other web languages for a couple weeks now and one thing is bothering me. I noticed that sometimes when I am reading tutorials and such they put in a /> instead of just a > . So my question is why do I need a / in front of a > sometimes and sometimes I just put a >. I hope my question is clear Hi, When writing something on the internet, say a paragraph that has a URL in the middle of the paragraph, can the URL be hidden until someone clicks on it? How does one do that. Simple html, no java please. Thanks. I've decided to make a personal photography portfolio on my computer, and have thought that the best way to do this would be HTML. My problem: See the above image? The items in red circles are just copied and pasted from the original in the top-left. What I want to know is how do I actually get them there in HTML? I think it's something to do with tables, but as I'm practically brand new to HTML I'm not sure. I have a ZIP file below with all the necessary files, just unzip the online folder and edit the 'index.htm' file if you want to do it all yourself for me. Otherwise, you can use it to have a look at the coding I've used (partly taken from a free HTML template website, I admit ). Thanks very much in advance for help. I am trying to set up a mock business page, with an entrance page. http://www.freewebs.com/livingdaylig...p/entrance.htm The image on this page should be fully aligned to the right, without any space between it and the scrollbar, but I can't figure out how to do that. I works fine on firefox, but not on IE. I've tried setting the position to left:-1 and that works for IE, but stretches the page on Firefox, as well as setting the body & div margins to 0 which does nothing. Here's my coding: Code: <style>
body{scrollbar-face-color : #000000;
scrollbar-highlight-color : #000000;
scrollbar-3dlight-color : #000000;

Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm used to aligning to the left and never had this problem before. Thank you! How do I make this simple HTML/CSS page look the way I want? If you render this code in a browser, you will see what I'm trying to do. Thanks!

This should be simple enough, I just dont know how to do it. So, the link will need to pass a var in some way to the "template" page with the url for the site outside my site, use it in the iframe etc. Any help? |
