HTML - Best Option For Refresh Button
Preface: Aside from an angelfire webpage back in the 90's I have very little HTML experience. I am now trying to create a webpage and server on an 8-bit microcontroller. Because of memory limitations, I need to keep my entire page in one packet (~1500 bytes, including headers, et al).
To avoid unnecessary overhead in the server, I do not want to use Code: <header><meta http-equiv="refresh"content=30;url=http://... Instead, I would like to put a refresh button on the page for users to hit when they want to check for any changes to the page. I have tested two options that both seem to work (tested in IE9, Firefox, Chrome). Option 1: An actual button Code: <form><input type=button value="Refresh"onClick="window.location.reload()"></form> Option 2: Just a simple link to the page with the word Refresh Code: <a href="http://www.....">Refresh</a> Question: I am not looking for the fanciest solution here -- just the most reliable. That said, I would prefer the button solution over the hyperlink solution. Is there any danger that Option 1 may not work in some cases in some browsers? Will both/either force the browser to go out and get the page again (rather than load from cache)? Similar TutorialsHi all, I'm looking for ways, how I can avoid multiple form submissions, when a user repeatedly (intentionally or not) refresh the browser (F5 button) after submitting a form? The input in my form is simply an email address. Nothing else. It is used for forgot password function. I have tried unset or set the $_POST['email'] to empty, but it doesn't help. Is there a clever way to do this? Hi All, I want to refresh the contents of IFrame without refreshing the whole page.....How is it possible... I am creating a website that has a search button with an image. I would like to know if there is some simple code that I can include that would display the same basic image with a different color when the user mouses over the button. Here is the code: <FORM name="searchform" onSubmit="return validateSearch();" METHOD="POST" ACTION="search_results_lt.asp"> <INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="Search" VALUE="" SIZE="20" > <INPUT TYPE=IMAGE SRC="images/search_button.gif" Name="SearchButton" Value="Submit"> </FORM> **** Thanks for your help, Robin I want to put color in my option box.. How can i do it? thanks =D <html> <bgcolor="black"> <select size="1" name="D1" > <option selected>Punk</option> <option>Sum 41</option> <option>GoodCharlot</option> <option>My Chemical Romance</option> <option>Green Day</option> <option>Blink 182</option> <option>The All American Rejects</option> <option>The offspring</option> <option>30 seconds to mars</option> <option>Tokio Hotel</option> </select> </html> how to do? i want a link that go to one site and show another text like - Lemon Smash <a href="http://www.jogos10.com/jugar.php?id=4918">Click to play =)</a> . but in option box. <script type="text/javascript"> window.onload=function() { document.getElementById('menu').onchange=function(){ goThere(this.value); } } function goThere(url){ location.href=url; } </script> </head> <body> <div> <select id="menu"> <option value="www.benfica.com" selected="selected">go to benfica</option> </select> </div> ?? is that? it is not working, is the last time that i call for your help, i promess, but plzzzzzzzzzz =D I have a drop down menu that changes the page when one of the options is selected. When I select an option, I want that option to become the selected option. Here is some example code. <select class="select" name="Gender" onchange="submit()"> <option value="">Gender</option> <option value="0">Female</option> <option value="1">Male</option> </select> If I select "Female" I want that option to be selected when the page reloads. Now the menu resets to "Gender" every time the page reloads. Thanks Hey all! Is there a way to pass more than one value using the HTML option tag? I am using HTML and ASP together and so I need a first name variable and a last name variable from a DB2 table to be passed as well as show up together as one value in the drop-down box I have created (i.e. John Doe). As of right now I have figured out how to make it show in the drop-down box as John Doe however, I need the full name to be one value. Hope this makes sense! Thanks! Response.write "<option value=" & rs("FIRST_NM") & ">" & rs("FIRST_NM") & "</option> <option value=" & rs("LAST_NM") & ">" & rs("LAST_NM") & "</option>" How I could make a download option using HTML. Thanks in advance Hi, If one were to choose an option from a drop down, is there any way to immediately show either a textbox or some sort of input method next to the option? Ive seen this done on facebook, but i am not sure what type of language its using. an example is like this: How Many Links?: <select name="links"> <option value="1">1</option> <option value="2">2</option> <option value="3">3</option> </select><br><br> if the user chooses drop down option 3, then immediately there would be 3 textboxes for the user to submit the website links.. thanks This is one of these things where you probably should just go to bed and forget all the confusion. My question: How the heck can you specify the length of the option field for a drop town list? I am sure ther is an embarrasingly simple answer. Thanks a lot and good night! Hey all, I've been looking all over the net for a tutorail about this, but I can't seem to find one. What I'm trying to do is make a drop-down box where you can select an option, press a submit button, and it'll open up a new window *or tab for firefox users* pertaining to that information, such as a site that I choose to link to it. This is the code I'm using for my option box <div align="left"> <select name="xfer" size="1" style="color:000000; background-color:226622; font-family:trebuchet ms; font-size:11px; border:thin solid "ffffff;> <option></option> </select> </div></form> I'm totally stumped here. Any help would be greatly appreciated! -Cheers, Billy Hello all, I have a stong question because i can't solve it. I want to creat a drop down list with images beside each row. Usualy on clasic html is something like this: select ... option value /option /select But i want a small image (icon) beside each option from select. See for example: http://www.scrigroup.com/afaceri/con...ate/index7.php on the top page see a clasic select. How can i change it to icon seclect on each option? Thanks for your effort to reply Hi All! I'm using the Option Group/ optgroup/ Select features within a form and would like to initially display all options without having to click the arrow button to "reveal" the selections. I can't seem to find the option to allow this. Of course I can switch to a hyperlinked list, but have made extensive Option Group and would like to continue to use them. Thanks in advance!! I have taken over a website that has font size option. and now that i added some text, the text will not change when i use the font size option buttons on the left. anyone have any thoughts? http://www.aacwinnip...enda_Sklar.html I realize that I need to have an offline color chart handy, I would like a standalone chart on my desktop for easy access, any links please? One product in my shop has multiple sizes and each size has a different price. I would like a drop down menu that lists options like this: Small Shirt - $15.00 Medium Shirt- $20.00 From whatever option is chosen, I need to register both the name(item_name) and price(amount) values with two different fields, like this: input type=hidden name="item_name" value="Small Shirt" input type=hidden name ="amount" value="15.00" Any suggestions? Hello, I want to put a dashed line divider between a value in option and other options. A pseudocode is mentioned below. Please help How do I achieve this? The dashed line should not be allowed to be selected. <SELECT> <OPTION VALUE="TravelLeisure.html">Travel & Leisure <OPTION VALUE ""> ----------- <OPTION VALUE="ymca.html">Waste Management <OPTION VALUE="WaterManagement.html">Water Management <OPTION VALUE="Welding.html">Welding </SELECT> Thanks, Ruchir I want to rebuild a website, and I want to have a button that gives people the option of three background color choices. How can I do that? Hi, how can I put in a drop down menu that slides down or across from a regular text link in html? Then, when selecting one of the options, I would like it to automatically take the visitor to the page option selected? I don't want a drop down menu and then hit 'Go' type mechanism, just a slide and click type thing. i.e when the link is clicked on it would reveal a drop down list that says.. Hotel Car Rental Airport Car Park Insurance and would then link directly to the appropriate page. Thanks! |
