HTML - How Can I Use A Relative Path In <base>?

*please bear with me this is a simple problem which is sort of hard to explain*

I run a very small (15 page) website for myself. The site consists of an image_list page, which is an index of 13 thumbnail images. Each thumbnail links to a single page, each page being a larger image of the respective thumbnail. These 13 individual pages are directed at the same base target window, _ximage.

you can find the image_list window he
http://www.winslowsmith.com/work/index.html

click on any one of these thumbnail links and a new window (_ximage) will open. navigate back to the image_list and click another link, the _ximage window will reload with the new page. Pretty simple, right?, just a <base target=""> command.

In safari this all looks swell, and the _ximage window, whether open or not, will always come to the foreground to load.

Not the case in Firefox.

My problem in Firefox is as follows: opening one of the given links in image_list will load a new window (or tab), with _ximage target, and the first time, that new window/tab with _ximage target will come to focus and be in the foreground.

However, if the viewer leaves the _ximage window open, and navigates back to the image_list window and clicks another link, that link will load appropriately but the _ximage window will remain in the background. (and it works the same whether you are using windows or tabs to load your new pages). This is frustrating because it forces the viewer to click twice rather than just once to get to one of these 13 pages, and said pages are the reason people would traffic to the site.

Is there any way to have the links to base (_ximage) target always load in the foreground in Firefox(even when the target window _ximage is open)? Is there code to tell the Firefox browser, hey this is an important window load it in the foreground?

Is there a way to do it with anchors?

any help is appreciated

I'm using a popular php video-sharing script for my web site.
I've modded it so vistors must pay to view a video, however the path to the thumbnail appears on the html page in the View Source code, which is very similar to the path to the actual video. Is there any way to hide the path code?

Hi,

Greetings..! In the <img> can I refer to a system folder means I need to refer to a image that is in application data or home drive like %homedrive% or %appdata% will this work..?

Thanks

Hey. I was wondering if this php code can be put into html?
HTML Code:

include($phpbb_root_path . 'PATH' . $phpEx); 

Or is there some other html code with does that same job?

I have a link from a web page to a page on another server. The link works fine, but the Title at the top of the new page displays the full path as well as the HTML allocated Title.

Can anyone advise me how to stop the path being displayed?

Thanks

Hello All,

I have a problem with div position in my html page. I need two divs position=relative aligned with a single div. Basically I have a header panel, content panel (have two vertical column height changed dynamically) and a footer panel. So Content panel vertical column needs to align with header panel. I need all div tags position relative, so when every div increases in height bottom div sifted down automatically.

I have this

I'm scraping some websites and I've come across a site with a weird link structure. The <a href> shows a relative link, but that relative link added onto the current link does not equal the absolute link I see on the bottom of my browser.



If I want to make a robust web crawler, how do I detect that a certain site will have such an abnormality?

Hi to all.

I'm trying to achieve a pure relative html layout by implementing only percentage values (without any pixel position or dimension).

This way i want to get an html page which would appear the same in all of resolutions and browsers.

I attached a simple html page, written in this relative manner.

However, i have 2 issues with it:

1) some empty space on the right of the html body in FF.

2) disarranged look in IE (small image lifted up, and empty space below the page body).

Is there a hack for IE to render this page properly, and a way to force FF to not display mentioned empty space?

(Also, but less important, there is a minor (height) position difference of the small image /bacardi.gif/ viewed in 1024x768 & 800x600, and likely in higher resolutions too, but my graph.card cannot display it.)


Many thanks in advance

Hi there, I want my images to have specific positions within my website but so far I seem to get it wrong.

this is the html:
<body>
<div class="top">
</div>
<div class="logo"><img src="img/logo.jpg" /></div>
<div class="wrapper">
<div class="1"><img src="img/1.jpg" width="450" height="450" /></div>
<div class="2"><img src="img/2.jpg" width="215" height="220" /></div>
<div class="3"><img src="img/3.jpg" width="215" height="220" /></div>
<div class="4"><img src="img/4.jpg" width="215" height="450" /></div>
</div>
</body>

this is the css

body {
background-color:#FFFFFF;
color:#000;
margin-left: 0px;
margin-top: 0px;
margin-right: 0px;
margin-bottom: 0px;
}

.top {
width:100%;
height: 33px;
background-color:#0D0D0D;
}

.logo {
position:relative;
margin: 0 auto;
border: none;
padding:0;
width: 400px;
height: 130px;
margin-top:25px;
}

.wrapper {
position:relative;
margin: 0 auto;
border: none;
padding:0;
width: 900px;
height: 700px;
margin-top: 25px;
}

.1 {
position:absolute;
width: 450px;
height: 450px;
left: 0;
top: 0;
}

.2 {
position:absolute;
left:460px;
width: 215px;
height: 220px;
top: 0;
}

.3 {
position:absolute;
left:460px;
top:230px;
width: 215px;
height: 220px;
}
.4 {
position:absolute;
left: 685px;
width: 215px;
height: 450px;
}

Basically I want something like this site http://www.aardvarkbrigade.com/ where the images seem to be placed in specific positions.

Would be great and I would be thankful if someone could help me

I've got a wrapper to keep my content in the center, and want a header background to spread across the whole page width. I've kept the header image outside the wrapper, so I assumed it wouldn't conform to the wrapper's width restrictions.

Here's the example: http://samehkhan.com/index%20-%20Copy.html

I've got no idea why there is a 10px margin around the header image. That's what I need help with.

Also, if you have a better way for me to do it, I'd appreciate it.

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,

Hi Folks,

I have multiple objects which are positioned relative to one another. The position of the first object is fine but the subsequent ones reference the position of the previous one. Is there any way I can make a hidden "base" object and position relative to that without re-creating it for each object?

Thanks!

Hi,

I'm trying to build a program that automatically picks images from a given web page. As you know, there's a lot of relative paths used on those.

Now, I got to my first big problem, this is the address I'm trying to use:
http://www.nba.com/games/20090117/ORLDEN/preview.html

this is the address where image is: http://www.nba.com/media/homepage/bullet_video.gif

and this is the address source code refers to:
img src="/media/homepage/bullet_video.gif" border=0

Now, note that there's no ".." in the front of that address.

Question: How can I determine based on the address when the location of image is
http://www.nba.com/media/homepage/bullet_video.gif
and when it is
http://www.nba.com/games/20090117/OR...llet_video.gif

And yes, this is 100% about automatizing the process, so the answer I'm looking for has to be something I can tell to VBA (the language I'm using to write my program).

Thank you for any answer.

Hi folks,
I have a simple centered web page that does not show the same in IE and Firefox. The problem just seems to be the first occurrence of position:relative which I used to center the page in a 'container'. Experts in this forum and others say I should fix this by using the right Doctype statement. But when I tries using any of the recommended Doctypes, the display was totally skewed in both IE and FF.
You can see the normal page with no Doctype statement at:
http://www.documents4u.com/Document-...Contactus.html
It displays fine in IE but notice in FF the top horizontal bars are higher. When I put in a Doctype statement, everything is messed up in both IE and FF, as you can see in:
http://www.documents4u.com/Document-...ontactus2.html

Any suggestions on how I can fix this discrepancy? Is it my code or am I not using the right Doctype?
