HTML - Including An Image On Site

Hello,
This is my first post here, the site is great so far.
Anyways, I have a proxy site and I submitted it to alot of top lists, which require you to put a piece of code to link back to them. Problem is, the little pictures take up alot of space and take a while to load, so I was wondering if there is a way to disable images for a part of the page, so that it will be lots of text instead of pics. (the image link has alternative text).
Heres the site: http://www.redprox.com/

Thanks!

I've found some help here already, so thanks in advance to the good folks that help us novices.

I have just a couple that need addressing, but they're pretty important to me, so hopefully someone can spell them out.

I'll explain them below but here's a quick rundown first:
1.) Wrapping text around a captioned image
3.) A pop-up text bar when a link is moused over.

1.) When I'm posting an image, a caption is almost always necessary. Here's the code I've been using for the image and caption:
"<table class="image">
<caption align="bottom">CAPTION</caption>
<tr><td><IMAGE LINK></td></tr>
</table>"
But when I post like that, there's a break between paragraphs to show the image, which disrupts the reading flow. I need a code that will let me post an image, add a bottom-aligned caption, and still have the story text appear alongside the image.
NOTE: I've been shown the "align=left/right" code, but where do I insert that in the code listed above?? I've tried right before and right after the image source code, but to no avail. Help, please!!

2.) I'm willing to spend hours to learn this one. Somebody, somebody has to know how to do this one. It's done on this site!
OK, here it is.
You mouse over a post listing, and a text bar appears next to the cursor. In that bar is the first few lines of the person's post.
HOW IS THIS DONE???
For someone looking to find new ways to boost hits on a news site, this is a priceless gem. If anyone knows how to do this or something similar in HTML, PLEASE let me know.


Thanks in advance to each and every person who reads this, and a special thanks to those who take the time to help. It means much.

Hello.

I have a file SVG that displays on the page like this: see page.

Code:

<Object type ="Image / svg + xml" data ="Http://nicorobin.olympe-network.com/commun/personnages/gouvernement-mondial/flag_world-government.svg" height ="120" width ="140"> </ Object> </ a>

But as you can see the image is not reduced to the size you want, it's just a part of this size.
I wonder how we can define the size of a SVG for a given page (as can be done with <Img /> ) ?

Thank you.

Reminder <embed> never been valid, that's why I use <object>.

The aim of the subject is to solve my problem.
So to speak of SVG in general or on the web, it is not suitable topic.

Is it possible to include a header and footer file using HTML? I have my file as a .html and need to be able to include the HTML for the header and footer. Anyone know how I can do this?

Hi!

I would like to konw is there any way we can integrate an IFRAME much like an asp or php include file.

For example:

The Iframe has no borders, the iframe would have no scrolling, width is 100% of the cell it's located in, 100% height of the cell it's in, and a transparant background.

We would also like it so that the conent is displayed throughout the cell of the iframe string - rather than it breaking in between.

Do you get my idea?

Thanks

Ryan

I'm developing a website at http://beta.ponderosatreeservice.com and use some background PNG's with transparency. I'm using a hack right now which allows an embedded image to display correctly but it doesn't work with background images. I've found a few hacks online which I haven't tried but I was wondering if there was any type of consensus here as too which hack is the best for background PNG images.

Hi

I use an include to display an exteral html file in a div.

If I strip the html file of all the header formatting, it displays fine. As soon as I add the header info, transitional info etc, it adds a couple of blank line breaks to the top of the text dsiplayed in the external div.

here's the link:www.mcbub.com

How do I make it so the text starts at the top?

thanks in advance!

ok so to start off if I ask any dumb questions my apologizes. I have just started writing HTML code. I have done quite a bit of C++ but its been years and html is much different.

Well here is my question I have made a dynamic sidebar for my webpages so I can cut out all those blocky link buttons at the top of the page. So I created an external html file and wrote the code for the side bar, but I can't figure out how to get it into my webpage html files. I am sure its something minor but I can't seem to figure it out.

I have been able to get it on the page by using iframe but I really don't like iframe.

One of the really big things is I want it locked to the right side of the browser screen so if you scroll it stays there. Also it needs to float above everything else so it will open on top of the webpage and no disrupt the content.

I am sorry if this is a simple thing but I have spent 2 days reading everything I can on it and can't get it to work. I have tried it as a PHP file with include command. I tried link didn't work also. I know I could just include all the code on the pages but I am trying to learn how to use template correctly so as to make my pages as clean and SE friendly as possible.

Last thing if I need to post some of the code up here to help I can do that.

Well thanks in advance, this will make my day if I get this dang side bar to work.

Thanks

I am wondering if it is possible to create an INDEX.HTML to redirect to another website?

I would like it to display the redirected site, but if possible keep to the original address..

e.g.
A site named www.mysite.com, with an INDEX.HTML to redirect to www.othersite.com, which displays OTHERSITE with www.mysite.com in the address bar.

Hope I explained ok, any responce would be much appricated!
Thanks!

Hi all --

I'm having an interesting problem. I'm designing a web page that has a navigation banner (home - programs - schedule of events - contact us - downloads) that is made up of a .png for each page (i.e. home.png, programs.png, etc). My page is 1000px wide and all of the navigation banner's images add up to 1000px wide.

I'm using JavaScript to create an onMouseOver and onMouseOut effect on each of the images. The problem that I'm having occurs when I tried to add a link (either by <A HREF= or using an image map). Whenever I add a link to the image, a small (3px) area of white space shows up to the right of the image. This shifts all of my other images 3px to the right (and 3 more for each link I add to subsequent images) thus making the total width of the navigation banner over 1000px and the last image gets shoved to a new line.

I can find no way to get rid of this white space other than to remove the link from the image. There is no property on the page that adds any sort of padding, margins, or borders to images or links, so I can see no property that has to be changed.

Help! How do I get rid of this white space but still keep the link on the image??

[I posted this question on the Adobe forum to no avail, below is a screencap I took of the issue I'm having]

Thanks in advance!
//kl

PS - I am using both IE8 and Chrome to view this webpage. I've set all the margins/padding/borders to 0px. Here is my CSS and the part of the code that pertains to the navigation banner.

CSS:
Code:

<style type="text/css">
<!--
body {
font: 100% Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
background: #666666;
margin: 0; /* it's good practice to zero the margin and padding of the body element to account for differing browser defaults */
padding: 0;
text-align: center; /* this centers the container in IE 5* browsers. The text is then set to the left aligned default in the #container selector */
color: #000000;
background-image: url(images/blue.bg.png);
background-repeat: repeat;
background-color: #009;
}
.oneColFixCtr #container {
width: 1000px;  /* using 20px less than a full 800px width allows for browser chrome and avoids a horizontal scroll bar */
background: #FFFFFF;
margin: 0 auto; /* the auto margins (in conjunction with a width) center the page */
border: 0px solid #000000;
text-align: left; /* this overrides the text-align: center on the body element. */
}
.oneColFixCtr #mainContent {
padding: 0 20px; /* remember that padding is the space inside the div box and margin is the space outside the div box */
}
body, td, th {
color: #333;
}
#main_banner2 {
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
height: auto;
width: 1000px;
}
-->
</style>
 
</head>

Nav Banner:
NOTE:: below HAS to be all one paragraph because if i insert a carriage return in between images, it also adds the white space...
Code:

<body class="oneColFixCtr">

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.

Hi all, this is my first post. First of all, my website is http://explosions.us.to Right now, whenever you click on something from the "nav" the links stay in the same place like they should. However, I want this to be the new 'about' page. Notice how the "nav" images change because of the added content in the layout cell. Any help on how to fix this is appreciated!
