I've just launched my new fitness site for my Personal Training service in Colchester however I was told there were spelling mistakes on some pages and in some areas, now its not as simple as pressing F7 to find them all, as they haven't shown up. To be honest I just need a hand another pair of eye because I can't see any but I've spent ages on it looking, my sites called www.ferdinandfit.com Thanks Hey all! I'm trying to set a predefined value in a <select> menu, that is to say, I want something to be highlighted before the user does anything. I've tried the following: <select name="test" size="2" value="x"> <option>x</option><option>y</option> </select> This does not work. Any advice would be great! Thanks for your time. Hi, does anybody have a link that could point me in the right direction of learning about a drop down menu that is used as a search option? Such as in this site here- click me! So basically the viewer can enter one of two fields to bring back the relevant info, in this case either a designer or price range option. I've not done one of these before, but think it would be useful on my site! advice appreciated, thanks!! Hi All, I was able to Highlight in yellow a sentence.

Someone told me gif, jpeg and bmp. I dont think bmp works but could be wrong. 3.what is a anchor in a url Hi guys, I have tried to look both on google and on the site, but have found nothing. My first questions is that I am using a chainedmenu ("goto" option), everything is perfect but the only thing is that I need a confirmation page, Where on this page there will be displayed the options that the user selected. Is this possible to achieve? Secondly, I have a text box on my site where the user inputs a number from 50 to 500, I would need to have the number inputed checked to see that it is of the correct formatm scale. How can I do this? Any help I recieve will be very very appreciated Thanks Hi, I'm having a couple of problems with the code on the website I am building. I tried uploading the stylesheet and index.htm but it would let me for some reason so here's the links to the problem pages: www.wotwebhosting.com and www.wotwebhosting.com/style.css Anyway, I cannot get the following to work: 1. The drop down menu at the very top is supposed to take the user to the page that has been selected immediately but it does not. 2. (This is a CSS problem) I would like the links at the bottom to be considerably smaller than the links on the left nav-bar. Also, the links do not seem to be responding to any 'text-decoration' command I give them in the css file. There is probably an easy solution to this but I'm very new to css! Also, does anyone like the scrollbar colours or should I leave it as the browser's default colours. Thanks for your help. So, this website has a couple of features that I really like and would like for my website. That website is located here. On the top of the website they have the facebook, twitter, and RSS buttons. How did she get the text to come out when you hover over the buttons? Also, on the top of the right sidebar, she also has a button that says show all categories. How did she make that clickable and pop out like it did? Thanks for your help! On my website http://www.ultdmovies.com. How do I change the height/width of the buttons that say home, contact us, movies, etc.? How can I add a seperate border under the video like the one under the "mission statement" so I can have other things down on the bottom? How can I add a colored border around Mission statement and the stuff below it? 1.) How to make a login and register form work on a site 2.) I have tons of quiz questions for my site i am building, how do I make it so when they answer if they get the question right they get those points and they will be redirected to the next page or if anyone knows what i have to use to accomplish this So I'm fairly new to Web Development, but I know a few other languages (C++, C (of course), and a bit of Java). I've been digging around the web for some information about having permanent pages inside pages, but turned up little result. What I mean by this is having some sort of fixed page, that wont be reloaded upon clicking local links (Home, etc.)... For example, I stream over Justin.tv, and they have an option to embed your stream to a website. I would like to have this stream embedded on a fixed page so that when users click links to surf the site, it wont keep loading and reloading. Also, the stream will always be in view of the user. In a nutshell, I would like to have a header for the navigation links and banner, a fixed sidebar with the embedded stream, and a content part that would show the rest of the content for the site. I hope this isn't too confusing to understand, haha.. I tried to make it as easy to understand as I can, but I don't know all of the fancy web development lingo to simplify it. aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Im a very green newbie to html and could use a few pointers. I'm starting with the basics and writing out out the html manually in notepad, and using chrome as the browser to view it. i have a couple of (probably basic) questions which i need help with, so if your not busy any help would be greatly appreciated! 1. how do i use images from my own computer in html? I am currently using images which i have uploaded to dropbox and using the url's as the image source. 2. Im having trouble with image maps. I am trying to use one image to display two links. below is a copy of the code I've written; <img src="https://dl-web.dropbox.com/get/Public/IMG_0016.jpg?w=e566152f" height="250" width="400" usemap="#kyandnod" /> <map name="kyandnod" /> <area shape="rect" coords="0,200,250,0" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_9U8zzj314AU/SUp0H-R3K2I/AAAAAAAAAEE/S2loVa1eX3I/s400/heaven.jpg" /> <area shape="rect" coords="200,400,250,0" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_MDH7QEZTFE8/TE3feptOxXI/AAAAAAAABG8/eapY9eS6m20/s1600/hell.gif" /> </map> the first area shape clinks to the correct link, however the second area shape clicks to another link that is further up the page. I am at a loss as to how to correct this and i cant seem to find the answers in the usual places online. any answers would be of great use and I don't want to move onto the next stage of my html learning until I've nailed this one! thanks So, I'm redesigning my website to conform with all W3C html/css standards as well as following all the suggested ways of doing it, and thus, I have a question or two I would like some comments on. 1. Say I want a line of text: Filed in Information, Monday 1st. Oct. 2007 And "Filed in" should be red, "information" black and the date light gray. I tried doing <font class="f1">Filed in</font> and then apply the style in the css sheet, but this didn't work. Is this an illegal syntax for HTML? (evidently, as it didn't work) And if it is, what would actually be the best way of doing this? Since <H#> tags create paragraph spacing... 2. To import the css style sheet into my page I have been using <link href="style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"> But then someone mentioned the @import method. Is there a practical of technical difference to the way I am doing it now? Thanks. Hello, can you please tell me what purpose has this html / page? Thanks. <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2 Final//EN"> <html> <head> <style> a:link {font:8pt/11pt verdana; color:red} a:visited {font:8pt/11pt verdana; color:#4e4e4e} </style> <meta HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" Content="text-html; charset=Windows-1252"> <title>HTTP 404 Not Found</title> <script language='javascript' src='http://127.0.0.1:1029/js.cgi?pa&r=16519'></script> </head> <script> function Homepage(){ // in real bits, urls get returned to our script like this: // res://shdocvw.dll/http_404.htm#http://www.DocURL.com/bar.htm //For testing use //DocURL = "res://shdocvw.dll/http_404.htm#https://www.microsoft.com/bar.htm" DocURL=document.location.href; //this is where the http or https will be, as found by searching for :// but skipping the res:// protocolIndex=DocURL.indexOf("://", 4); //this finds the ending slash for the domain server serverIndex=DocURL.indexOf("/", protocolIndex + 3); //for the href, we need a valid URL to the domain.

All the files are in the same folder, thumbnails are called something like "img1_sm" and the big version is "img1". I make them into links and it should all work, however on my actual page when published you get a 404 not found error when you click them. Try it!: http://www.homesinbelek.com/ilica.html Any ideas on why? |
