HTML - Simple Html But Need Help Asap!

So, I'm creating a script for a MMO (videogame) that supports most HTML elements in creating scripts for the game. What I'm currently doing is making a script that pulls open a small window for people to view information.

EX: <a href="text://Information">Link</a>

It's setup basically like that, except there is obviously alot more information, and I'm using certain fonts and colors for the information inside. Now here comes the tricky part. I also need to place links WITHIN the link, so it will move to another window of information. I've successfully done this so far. The problem, is that I cannot add any tags within the second link. When I do, it causes the link to mess up.

EX: <a href="text://Information1 <a href='text://Information2'>Link2</a>">Link1</a>

This link would work. But it would simply show the information without any organization or colors. When I add the <font> tag, or any other tag for that matter, it breaks the link. ANY assistance in this matter would be greatly appreciated, as I need this to be up and running very soon!

Hey, just so everyone knows beforehand i would like to let you know i know how to code i just cant on the computer i am on currently as certain applications are blocked.

I would like a code for a site that when first going to it requires a username and password, a registration if possible (haha need to register dont you.). And once signing in takes to a chat room.

Thanks. RESPOND ASAP PLEASE

Hi All

OK here is situtation. I have a WMV video file I made and uploaded to a hosting site that allows hot linking and such.

Anyways I got an embed code of fthe web from an HTML website not host site as they didn't have one for embedding and tested it in my HTML editor and video played great.

I then tried to add the code to my profile on a social network I belong to. And I can't even get a player to show up let alone play.

Now so you know I have already embedded videos off of youtube and another similar website and those work great so I know embedding isn't disabled as others play just fine.

What am I doing wrong that those play and mine won't even though it works perfectly in my HTML editor

Here is one code I tried with both file name areas fixed with the videos URL

I am currently re-coding my school's website because it was coded in HTML 4.01 and the code was extremely messy anyways. I'm recoding it in XHTML Strict. Everything was going fine, I got the homepage perfectly replicated with much nicer code, then somehow after I had finished the homepage, I refreshed it and there was a random space between the header and the nav bar. You can see it he

Can someone please take a look at the code and tell me why it's happening!? It was totally fine, but then I changed some random insignificant thing unrelated to the nav bar or the header and that happened. I'll paste the stylesheet below so you on't have to download it:

Code:

	background-image: url('images/bg.jpg');
	background-repeat: repeat;
	background-attachment: fixed;

}

Hey there,
I'm feeling my through the dark trying to put an animated sliding panel on my site.
It works, but its initial state is open, which defeats its purpose.
Will someone please look at this short code and let me know what to do?
Thanks!

Here's the HTML, followed by the CSS, followed by the javascript:

<html>
<head>
<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet"
href="Animated-Collapsible-Panel-5.css" />
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"

</head>
<body>
<!-- Animated collapsible panel, with separate CSS and JavaScript -->
<div style="width:470px;">
<div class="squarebox"><div
class="squareboxgradientcaption"
style="height:20px; cursor: pointer;"
onclick="togglePannelAnimatedStatus(this.nextSibling,50,50)"><div
style="float: left">I bequeath myself to the dirt to grow from the grass I love...</div><div

OK so I am grabbing this code off of a local news site (WRAL) and when I embed into a myspace page, only portions of the script are showing up, not the video. So there is something wrong with the code itself i'm sure, I just don't know what. Here is the code. Do you guys see any errors he

Quote:
<script src="http://www.wral.com/entertainment/video/2820107/?version=embedded" type="text/javascript"></script><script type="text/javascript"> width=330; height=280; wral_insert_video_player_2820107(width,height); </script>

Hi folks first time on this particular board.
I once encountered a realy simple "CMS" system. somehow there was an area on "index.htm" that called in a .txt file and displayed it.
what would the code be to do this? I thought about Iframes but this is depricated nowadays.
Also I want to use this method (if it exists) to build an admin area which writes to the afore-mentioned .txt file in order to make simple updates to the text on the site.
Can I do this?

Thanks for helping sorry im a bit of a n00b!

I just launched my first web page (free on GoDaddy) and it doesn't run right. It is only simple html. it keeps trying to reload. I thought at first the header GD inserts was try to fit into a space not big enough, so I put in a few <br/> to make room but that did not work. Here is a sample of my code:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Frameset//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/frameset.dtd">

Any help will be appreciated.

I seem to remember creating simple webpages by writing minimal html code and opening either ( I think...) the text file with the browser or changing the text file to a .html file and opening that with a browser.

This doesn't seem to work for me anymore...

Has something happened with current browsers where they will not display the code as they once did for me?

I need to make a calculator for a website. The user would have a couple of inputs, which would run through a formula, and have an output.

I don't know where to start. You'd think there would be tutorials for something as simple as this sounds.

Your help is appreciated.

Hi.

In a table data I have four lines of text each line separated by a <br>
The text are different font sizes. The issue I am having is that the lines have space between them above and below. How do I get the lines of text closer together using simple html?

text line 1

(this space)

text line 2

Hi,
Im making a website for a family member. It turns out we need to modify some html to get it to look how we want. (we are using a control panel / template style program) to make the website

I have a search box and go button layered on top of the header/banner of my website. In internet explorer the banner is partially blanked out by the search box (but not in firefox or safari).

Take a look at: http://cart.street-pharmacy.com.

Below is the code I think needs modifiying.

Thanks in advance
Ben

<div>
<form action="{$url_http}" method="get" style="padding:0px;margin:0px;">
<table border="0" style="float:right; margin:32px 4px 0px 0px;">
<tr><td><input type="hidden" name="p" value="catalog"/>
<input type="hidden" name="mode" value="search"/>
<input type="hidden" name="search_in" value="all"/>
<input maxlength="256" type="text" name="search_str" style="width:122px;font-size:10px;"/></td>
<td><input type="submit" value="Go"/></td></tr>
</table>
</form>
