HTML - Problems With Javascript And Dynamic Menus

Hi.

My entire site is 100% XHTML1.1. Except for some new code I added which causes errors in validation.

the code is
HTML Code:

<a href="http://babelfish.altavista.com/babelfish/"  onclick="window.open('http://babelfish.altavista.com/babelfish/trurl_pagecontent?lp=en_it&url='+encodeURIComponent(location.href));return false;" title="Translate to Italian"><img title="Italian" src="http://geekimo.com/licons/it.png" alt="Italian" /></a>

I understand maybe CDATA islands can help with this? or making it external? but I have no idea how to do that with it having html code in there too.. I don't know if you can surround it in CDATA tags.

There are other lines of code too, exactly the same except have different languages.

Any help would be awesome!

Hi Folks,

I've got my form dynamically generating text fields (which are contained in a form which is in another) and other objects and now I want to give them the "onchange" attribute.

I have a lot of code so I'll keep it as small as possible. Here is the function that generates text fields

function createText( inputForm, txtName, txtValue, txtWidth )
{
var newTxt = document.createElement( "INPUT" );

inputForm.appendChild( newTxt );

newTxt.name = txtName;
newTxt.setAttribute( "STYLE", "position:relative; left:20px; width:" + txtWidth + "px;");
newTxt.type = "TEXT";
newTxt.value = txtValue;
newTxt.id = txtName;
newTxt.onchange = "some_function( this.value )";

return newTxt;
}

The function for responsible for creating the form is:

function createNewForm()
{
// Main form is a global reference to the main body
mainForm = document.getElementById( "adminForm" );
var profileForm = document.createElement( "FORM" );

mainForm.appendChild( profileForm );
profileForm.method = "POST";
profileForm.name = "Profile";
profileForm.id = "ProfileForm";

return profileForm;
}

This function calls the profile creation form and specifies the objects that will appear on the form.
function profileForm()
{
// Delete and reassign current form
if( currentForm != "")
deleteForm( currentForm );
currentForm = "ProfileForm";

var newProForm = createNewMenuForm();
newProForm ( menuForm, "Item1", "data1", 140 );
newProForm ( menuForm, "Item2", "data2", 140 );
newProForm ( menuForm, "Item3", "data3i", 140);

return newProForm;
}

I've seen examples of objects being created by JavaScript and they work just fine. Anyone have any suggestions or have an idea where I can find some more info?

Thanks!

I am trying to add a popup menu to a button on my header that will have two options. I added a hotspot to the button image in Fireworks and made the menu etc, but when I place it in my html page nothing happens. Below is the line of code that displays my button.

<a onmouseover="image2.src ='images/Header/OurServices_On.png';" onmouseout="image2.src='images/Header/OurServices_Off.png';" href="OurServicesIndivid.htm" target="_top"><img src="images/Header/OurServices_Off.png" name="image2" width="129" height="22" border="0"></a></TD>

PS The button image is 'OurServices_On' or "OurServices_Off", basically the "On" button is shaded darker and it will apear when you hover over it.

On a secondary note, I tried to add a popup menu with the dreamworks hotspot tool. I can add the hotspot fine, but everytime I hit "Ok" on the add-popupmenu dialog box, I get a error that states the following. Anyone know the answer to either of these problems?

this is my page http://web.vtc.edu/users/cjb06271/CI...nal/order.html

there are several things I would like to happen.
1. the right collumn background to be where the right collumn should be(so other links in navbar)
2.The test between the roach pictures to be alligned with the top rather than bottom of pictures (so smaller windows can see)
3. When you size the window smaller than the text, a scroll bar appears, and when you scroll the background no longer exists. If I put it on auto the background will only go as far as the text does.
4. (nice but not required)The cocroachs to be alligned to the left and right of the top bar respectively, and the text in the middle.
5. (nice but not required) the right column background image is being cut in half (as does the top one if you size small enough). any way to make the images ignore the collumns?
don't worry about the colors I will be changing them soon

I have a form with 3 drop down menus on the same line.
The way I would like it to work is as follows:
if I choose for example element 3 on the first menu then the 2nd menu shows only the options of the element in menu 1.

How can I do this?

Thnks

Hi,

Is there any way to make the "standard" pull down menu that is predefined in html (the pull down form that front page provides) function with links to different pages WITHOUT USING JAVASCRIPT. I am using sharepoint that has security that blocks links that use scripting. Or, is there any way to use this pull down menu with javascript in sharepoint without a popup blocker interviening?

Any help or suggestions much appreciated. thanks,

joe sal

I'm trying to incorporate drop down menus into a template to clean things up a bit but I can't figure out how. Here's the code:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" type="text/css" charset="utf-8" />
<style type="text/css">

And here's a live sample:

I'm using Dreamweaver cs3, looked at some tutorials but can't figure it out. What would you guys suggest?

Hello all,

I need some help coding link menus. These are menus that pop up to the side of links to show additional links.

See this page for what i am looking to achieve.

I want a side menu to show up off of my "Media" link that has link options for Photos, AIM Icons, Riot Act, Submit a Picture, and anything else i need a link option for.

Here is my current code for my link menu to the left:
Code:

<div align="left" style=" "><table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr><table bordercolor="#990000" width="141" height="15" border="2" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">

Also, for the Submit a Picture page. How would i go about adding some type of form system that submits a picture to an email account?

Thanks!

First off, I have designed one site ever and it's still in progress. I also have no basis in computer training other than graphic design. I am a total beginner, but the site I'm designing is for my personal business, so I'm continually updating it with new features I like.

I was hoping to use hover menus (I have no idea if that is the technically correct term, but when you put your mouse over a link, it gives you a drop down menu) on my site, but really have no clue how to do that. Is it possible in HTML or would I have to use javascript or flash? If so how would I incorporate the code into a generally HTML based site?

Thanks! :-)

I am trying to create menu based website for cars, how to I limit a menu to include only the models for a certain make. If ford is selected I want to be able to select mustang, taurus and f150, but not accord, because accord is made by honda.

I am using

Make:
<select name="Make">
<option value="0">Acura</option>
<option value="1">Audi</option>
<option value="3">Bently</option>
<option value="4">Ford</option>
</select>

format to create my menus, any reference to a page explaining how this would be helpful as well as defining (proper terminology) what I am trying to do.

TIA,

James

Hi,

I use the following HTML for a horizontal navbar:

<div align="center">
<p class="navbar" align="center"> |
<a class="navbar" href="index.html">Home</a> |
<a class="navbar" href="events.htm">Events</a> |
<a class="navbar" href="testimonies.htm">Testimonies</a> |
<a class="navbar" href="about.htm">About Us</a> |
<a class="navbar" href="contact.htm">Contact</a> |
</p>
</div>

with this in the style sheet

.navbar {
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 10pt;
font-weight: bold;
text-decoration:none;
color: #ffffff;
background-color:#993300
}
a.navbar:active {
color: #ff00ff;
}

a.navbar:visited {
color: #ffffff;
}
a.navbar:link {
color: #ffffff;
}

a.navbar:hover {
color: #993300;
background-color: #ffffff;
}

But inspecting the code for various web sites it seems that people use the list tag <li>for horizontal menus. However as I can’t see the relevant CSS I don’t understand how it works, and I'm fairly new to CSS anyway (& I got this code from a manual).

Should I be using list tags and how does it link with the style sheet?

If so, can anyone explain what the code should be or point me to a good tutorial on the topic.

Thanks

Hi all

I am completely stuck as to what to do here.

I have a drop down list that I want a different html table to display depending on the option chosen on the drop down list.

I know this doesn't make a lot of sense so hopefully this will help...

I am a asp.net developer and I have a customer which needs a page written in stictly html. I am not that familar with html anymore, so please bare with me.

Last time I did html and used vertical menus, every page had to duplicate the menu code, instead of calling a page or control which holds the menus. Is there a way to have a inbedded html page (which is the page that hold the menus) in all the pages. This way, when I want to add a new menui tem. I don't have modify everypage, I can modify just the menu page. Is this possible in html without using frames?

Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Brandon

Hi. I'm over my head. A friend's web person had an emergency, so he asked me to take over and finish his site, which had JQuery Menus. Finally, everything tested okay on MY computer, so I uploaded it. It looks okay on Firefox, but there's a big problem with IE on OTHER computers. Instead of staying in place, the menus wrap to the center and look like a vertical OL in ordinary text.

The URL is http://www.trquinn.com. I feel terrible because I've made a mess of his site; any help would be sincerely appreciated.
