HTML - How To Get Rid Off Irritating Message From Internet Explore

How would I set something up on a website hosted by the server, were I can implement a text box that can be update by not updating the actual page it self, so I dont have to continually update the actual page rather some other form be able to update current news, and dates of certain events. If you get what Im trying to say.

Not sure if it would be HTMl or PHP. Thanks for the help!

I'm using a php video-sharing site script where you would make a purchase to view a video. The code below is from the html search results page, where a list of thumbnails appears when you search certain keywords.

Currently when you select the thumbnail, to view the video, prior to paying, a page pops-up in a pop-up box(inner_purchase.htm page) showing a message. I asked someone (JG) to help me change it to just a pop-up message box to appear, rather than the inner_purchase page, and he added code below called Custom Message Block, but the inner_purchase page still appears, instead of the Custom Message Block.

Can you help me figure out how I can make this so the Custom Message Block appears, rather than the inner_purchase page?
Thanks. Any help or suggestions will be appreciated.

Hey all!

I'm new to these forums, but by the looks of the community I can foresee myself gaining a lot of knowledge from being here. I've searched around, but haven't really found a clear answer to the problem I am having.

Here's the deal, I have my own small local IT business and recently decided It's time to build a website. I am Cisco CCNA certified, and CompTia A++ Hardware and OS support certified, so I know my way around computers. However, I have ZERO knowledge of HTML/CSS/PHP ect. This of course was a huge gap in my knowledge, and the reason why I have waiting so long to get a website up and running. I am slowly learning, but everybody needs help at some point.

So this is where I am at. I have created my basic website based off a template. I have modified it quite a bit, and have begun to understand basic HTML and CSS. However, I am stuck at the "Message Box, or Contact Us" Form. I am assuming the the code behind this form will either send the Users message via Email, or text document on my server. After examining the code I am completely lost as to how it works, so I need some help here.

My Website is located at http://www.olsonit.com

The problem page is the "Contact Us" page. Here is the code for said Message box.

<tr>
<td align="left" valign="top"><form name="form2" method="post" action="" style="margin:0px ">
<table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="usial2">

Hopefully I'll be able to get this all figured out, since I'm sure this will be a main source of contact between my Clients and I.

Any help is much appreciated!

i have a site that works like charm in firefox but in internet explorer it results to a not found page.Its index page is full of tables and whn i erase some tr it work in internet explorer too

Hi,

It seems that a lot of threads of this board are geared towards people having CSS issues in IE, I'm learning how to make websites at the moment and have also noticed this issue.

Why have Microsoft not done something about this? I don't understand, it seems like Firefox and other browsers have always been a few years in front of IE over the years, so why won't Microsoft just make a browser compatible with all the latest CSS features, if Firefox can do it I don't understand why Microsoft can't?

Is making the browser more update really that difficult?

My site looks perfect in all other browsers, but in Internet Explorer (possibly only earlier versions) the alignment of everything is completely off...My blog content appears to the right of the header instead of under it... I validated my code and still no luck, I am stuck! Any help is greatly appreciated!

My site is:

THANKS!!!

I created this website, http://www.earlyrain.com/jonathan... on my Mac, and it works exactly how I want it in Safari. But, when I go to my mom's PC with 2000 on it (internet explorer 6), the entire page is just random pictures everywhere and looks horrible. Then I can go into Firefox on her PC and the placement of everything works, but some of the pictures won't show up. There's a place for them, but I can't see them.

so, I really need some help with the IE problem, seeing as I don't have these problems on my computer...

I want to fix some of the images and links at fix position on the website on all pages. So i have used Div tag and given position fixed and mentioned the position required for me. It works fine in Chrom, Mozilla but does not works in Internet explorer. I tried all versions of IE from 7 to 9. But it is not looking in same way as it looks in other browsers. You too can visit this url: http://www.arete.in/sgcdesign/practice.html

Hey,
I've just put my website back online,
but I've got a lil' problem.
My website shows everything perfectly when using Internet Explorer,
but when openend with Firefox and others, most of the site doesn't appear as it should, pictures missing etc, is there anything I can do about this?, If so pretty please tell me!

Greets, Brenda

how can i make my private message alert page refresh every 20 seconds or so.

if you need to see the code am using just let me know.

Thanks

Hi all, I got a unique issue. I would like to redirect from one site (which is obsolete and the owner no longer wishes to use) to the updated one. I know that PHP has a redirect function, but instead of just redirecting and not giving a heads up of what is happening, I would like to display a message to the user indicating that the current site is no longer used and that the new one is where all the new/updated stuff is located.

Sorry if this is a wrong place to post, but this is a pretty broad problem from my perspective. Is there something that I can do only in pure HTML? Would I need to use JavaScript (which I don't know jack about)? Can I just use a scripting language like PHP?

I've have some sound files that are a little slow to load....it is there a way to display a message that says something like: "Loading please wait?"

Thanks guys!

Jeff

On some websites when they want to show you a message they make the screen dark behind the message. Is there any code snippets out there to help me re-create this effect? obviously i know how to make my own messages, its the see-through black fade that I am wondering about.

I've been trying to put together my musician's directory page, but I'm getting an error message in the status bar of my browser upon loading the page, and attempting to use the drop-down box I created to select a state-specific page. The drop-down box isn't working as it's supposed to immediately redirect the bisitor to the selected page, and this is what it the error says:

Line: 16
Char: 1
Error: Object expected
Code: 0
URL: http://www.geocities.com/josh*******...nections.html?
200618

What could be wrong?

Hi,
