HTML - Need Help Creating A Dvd Inventory List From A Csv File

Hello,

I ran into this problem today in my Basic XHTML class, and it was enough to stump me and the instructor: if you want to put an unordered list in the middle of a page, but you want the list items to be left-aligned so the bullets are one on top of the other...how do you do it?

I started with code something like

<div align="center">

<ul type="disc">
<li>Wine</li>
<li>Women</li>
<li>Song</li>
</ul>

</div>

This centers the list on the page, but it also centers each list item. I tried placing a <div align="left"> around the list items, individually and collectively, but depending on the positioning it either had no effect or it nullified the center attribute completely and gave me a left-aligned list on the left edge of the page. Attempts to change the style of the <li> tag, which I haven't done in months and was never all that good at, failed.

I know I can do this in ten seconds by putting the list inside a one-cell table, and with much fiddling I could probably do it with a spacer GIF...but what's the 1.0 Strict way?

If anyone could take the time to answer this then much appreciated, it's pretty easy to read through, the php code is very basic and repeats itself in most places..

To create a CMS in PHP, is the best way to do it to save sections of the html to either say either a db or text file. This seems a bit messy but maybe the best way, for example say i have this html and i want to have a user be able to add more images to their page by just uploading an image and clicking a button ........,

HTML Code:

<table>
   <tr>
    
     <td> <img src = "i1.jpg" ></td>

   </tr>
</table>

Now i could save,

HTML Code:

<table>
   <tr>

to say text1.txt

and

HTML Code:

</tr>
</table>

to text2.txt,

and the images to say text3.txt,

HTML Code:

 <td> <img src = "i1.jpg" ></td>

i could then say something like,

PHP Code:
<?php

$fname = "text1.txt";

$fo = fopen($fname,r);

$fr1 = fread($fo,filesize($fname));

fclose($fo);


$fname = "text2.txt";

$fo = fopen($fname,r);

$fr2 = fread($fo,filesize($fname));

fclose($fo);


$fname = "text3.txt";

$fo = fopen($fname,r);

$fr3 = fread($fo,filesize($fname));

fclose($fo);

$f_final=   $fr1.$fr3.$fr2;

echo $f_final;

?>


This would put the contents of all 3 text files into a single variable $f_final so that all i would need to do if i needed a new image added is add that images html to text3.txt.

This seems like a pretty good way of doing things, i assume this is how CMS systems are made pretty much??

So basically i could have a user frontend "addimg.html" which is for adding the image,


HTML Code:

<form method="post" action ="newimage.php">

<input tpye = "text" name = "img1">
<input type = "submit">

</form>

and then a modified version of the above php,

PHP Code:
<?php

//save new image name to text3.txt ***********
$newimgge_to_ADD = $_POST["img1"];

$fname = "text3.txt";

$fo = fopen($fname,a);

fwrite($fo,"\r\n".'<td> <img src = "'.$newimgge_to_ADD.'.jpg"> </td>');

fclose($fo);
//**********************

//Open all the text files one by one and save their contents to a variable *****
$fname = "text1.txt";

$fo = fopen($fname,r);

$fr1 = fread($fo,filesize($fname));

fclose($fo);


$fname = "text2.txt";

$fo = fopen($fname,r);

$fr2 = fread($fo,filesize($fname));

fclose($fo);


$fname = "text3.txt";

$fo = fopen($fname,r);

$fr3 = fread($fo,filesize($fname));

fclose($fo);

//******************

//Combine the contents of all 3 varables to one varable f_final  **********

$f_final=   $fr1.$fr3.$fr2;

//*********************

//Print out the result *********************

echo $f_final;

//**************************


?>

This would need a good bit of tweaking but i just want to know if i am on the right tracks..

I have a project written in ASP.NET under Visual Studio 2005 with C#. I am also using Infragistics objects for .NET Advantage 2007.

In my page to attach resources to a record I have written a browser and am displaying previously chosen resources here. But when I click the upload button the page opens a new window (which is not a dialog window, but a normal one) which is exactly the same as my dialog window.

How can this possibly happen? Can anyone help me?

Hi:
I wish to create a 'blog' that *I* control, and where the blog content would reside on my own Apache Server at my home.

Is this reasonable and/or easy to do, OR should I use a commercial blog site (e.g., www.blogger.com)

For example, I'd like my visitors to access my site (www.myblogsite.org) and then 'Vent their Spleens' on the subject of interest (which will be Heallthcare in the USA and its prospects for change, and the rantings about 'socialism' on the Fox Channel).

Thanks for any guidance.

Popup Windows: The Basics

We'll begin the tutorial by creating a basic popup window. The technique described here addresses all the major issues in popups. The popup always comes to the front. Different links can target the same popup. The code is simple and easily modified. Everything for the rest of the turorial is a variation on the theme described here. The code in this page creates a popup that is opened from a link. In this section we'll show the code with just the minimal description you need to get it going.

First, copy this script into the <HEAD> section of your page:

HTML Code:

<SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript">
<!--
function popup(mylink, windowname)
{
if (! window.focus)return true;
var href;
if (typeof(mylink) == 'string')
   href=mylink;
else
   href=mylink.href;
window.open(href, windowname, 'width=400,height=200,scrollbars=yes');
return false;
}
//-->
</SCRIPT>

For now we'll skip the details of how the script works, and move to the next step. The script above opens the popup, but something needs to run the script. The most common situation is that the script is run when the user clicks on a link. A link like the following would run the script:

HTML Code:

<A 
   HREF="popupbasic.html" 
   onClick="return popup(this, 'notes')">my popup</A>

Most of the link is as usual. The URL of the page being linked to is in the HREF attribute. We've added an additional attribute called onClick. Copy the code as it is into your link, with only a small modification. The second argument of the popup() -- 'notes' -- indicates name of the popup window. Every popup window should have its own unique name. Be sure to put the name in single quotes (''). So if you want to name the popup 'stevie' then this would be the code:

HTML Code:

<A HREF="popupbasic.html" onClick="return popup(this, 'stevie')">my popup</A>

Read This Next Part Or You'll Go Insane Trying to Figure Out Why Your Popup Doesn't Work

A small but crucial point is often overlooked. The command in onClick must begin with return or the script won't work. Be sure to start the command with return like this:
HTML Code:

onClick="return popup(this, 'notes')"

And don't put a space in the page name between the single quotes. If you do, the link will act just like a regular link.

Popup Windows: From an Image Map

In our first variation we'll open the popup from an image map instead of from a regular anchor. We'll use the same script as from our first example. With that script, an <AREA ...> tag in an image map can be made to open a popup in exactly the same way as an <A ...> tag:

HTML Code:

<MAP NAME="index">
<AREA 
   HREF="mypopup.html" ALT="My Popup"
   COORDS="10,10,120,120" SHAPE=RECT 
   onClick="return popup(this, 'gloss')">
<AREA 
   SHAPE=RECT ALT="Your Popup"
   COORDS="140,10,180,50" HREF="yourpopup.html" 
   onClick="return popup(this, 'gloss')">

<AREA SHAPE=DEFAULT NOHREF>
</MAP>

<IMG SRC="mymap.gif" HEIGHT=130 WIDTH=190 ALT="Image Map Example"
BORDER="0" USEMAP="#index">

Popup Windows: Opening Automatically

In the first two examples (Popup Windows: The Basics and Popup Windows: From an Image Map) the popup is opened when the user clicks on something. In this example the popup opens automatically.

We'll use the same script as in the first example. Copy this script in the <HEAD> section of your page:

HTML Code:

<SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript">
<!--
function popup(mylink, windowname)
{
if (! window.focus)return true;
var href;
if (typeof(mylink) == 'string')
   href=mylink;
else
   href=mylink.href;
window.open(href, windowname, 'width=400,height=200,scrollbars=yes');
return false;
}
//-->
</SCRIPT>

This time, instead of running the script from a link we'll run it from the onLoad attribute of the <BODY ...> tag.

HTML Code:

<BODY onLoad="popup('autopopup.html', 'ad')">

The command in onLoad is run when the document is finished loading. Like in our previous example, the command runs popup(), but this time the first argument for popup() is a little different. In the previous example we put this, meaning the link itself, and the script got the URL from the link. In this case there is no link so we pass the actual URL to open. So in our example we put 'autopopup.html'.

Popup Windows: From a Form

For our next variation on the popup theme we're going to open the popup from a form. In this example we're going to change the script around. The following script is custom designed for opening a popup from a form. It works with forms that use both POST and GET. Copy the following script exactly as-is into the <HEAD> section of your document:

HTML Code:

<SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript">
<!--
function popupform(myform, windowname)
{
if (! window.focus)return true;
window.open('', windowname, 'height=200,width=400,scrollbars=yes');
myform.target=windowname;
return true;
}
//-->
</SCRIPT>

Now we'll add some code so that the popup opens when the user submits the form. Add an onSubmit attribute to <FORM ...> tag:

HTML Code:

<FORM METHOD=POST
   ACTION="../cgi-bin/mypopupcgi.pl"
   onSubmit="popupform(this, 'join')">

The first argument for popupform() is always this, meaning the form itself. The second argument, 'join' in this case, is a unique name for the popup.

Popup Windows: Targeting the Opener

Once a popup window has been created, linking from the popup back to the main window (i.e. the window which opened the popup) is a little trickier than might be expected. The problem is that the main window doesn't have a "name" the way the popup window does. Fortunately, JavaScript provides an answer in the form of opener.

To create links in the popup window that target back to the main window, first put this JavaScript in the <HEAD> of the popup page:

HTML Code:

<SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript">
<!--
function targetopener(mylink, closeme, closeonly)
{
if (! (window.focus && window.opener))return true;
window.opener.focus();
if (! closeonly)window.opener.location.href=mylink.href;
if (closeme)window.close();
return false;
}
//-->
</SCRIPT>

A link that uses this script looks like this:

HTML Code:

<A 
   HREF="rbex.html" 
   onClick="return targetopener(this)">my page</A>

Popup Windows: Closing When They Go to the Opener

In the previous example the link in the popup targets the main page, but the popup stays open in the background after the user clicks on the link. In this page we'll set the link so that it closes the popup after the click.

targetopener takes three parameters. The first is always this, meaning the link itself. The second and third parameters are optional and default to false. (Notice we don't use them in the example above, we'll get to them shortly.) The second parameter indicates if the popup should close. The third is if the link should actually send the opener to the linked resource, or if the opener should just get the focus regardless of what its current page is. The third parameter provides a safe way to close the popup after closing, but still having a link to an existing page if the window isn't actually a popup (such as if the user found the page through a search engine).

When the user clicks on the link, targetopener checks if the browser has the focus command (a few older browsers don't) and if the current window was opened by another window. If these conditions are true, then the opener window gets the focus, the opener is directed to the referenced URL, and the script returns false. Because the function returns false, the link does not go on to the URL (the script has already done that). Note that the link which targets the opener is a little different than the link that opened the popup window to begin with. In this link, onClick says "return goOpener(this)"... the links on the previous pages did not use return.

By default, the popup window stays open but is in the background. If you want the popup to close after going back to the opener, add a second parameter of true to the targetopener function call:

HTML Code:

<A 
   HREF="rbex.html" 
   onClick="return targetopener(this,true)">main page</A>

Hi everyone,

Thank god I found this forum. My HTML experience is pretty limited and something has been driving me insane trying to figure out how to do.

All I want to do is create a form that when filled out the information is sent to my email. I thought this is how I write it

HTML Code:

<form action="MAILTO:me@myemail.com" method="post" enctype="text/plain">

<input type="######">
<br>
<input type="######">
<br>
<input type="######">
<br>
<input type="submit" value="Send">

</form>

Then that information would be sent to my email. When I try it out all it does is open up my outlook account with the details in there.

Please someone help before my monitor goes flying out the window.

Cheers

Ok so i've built plenty of general websites using fairly basic html and they've all been pretty successful and people have been pleased but now I need to build an online shop for myself and i'm not 100% I have the know how to do it (but I can't afford to get it done elsewhere so eek I need to try..)

Is it safe to create a webshop and integrate a checkout system using plain old html?
There is now way to disable source viewing from what I understand...

And if so, can anyone suggest a really easy to understand and integrate checkout to go for? This is the point that has really confused and made me a bit unsure if i'm able to do this. There's so many that it would be good to know of a UK one that I shold be able to get to grips with!

Thanks

Hello All,

I am looking to create a website very similar to this http://www.loserstatus.com/ that is my friends site and I currently have this www.canapictures.com . I like how simple his layout is but it looks sooo much better than mine lol. He hired someone to build it so he has no idea how it was made. Does anyone know if there is a template or something I can use to make something similar, I mainly just want the scrolling box with pictures that are linked to videos like he has on the top of the page below the banner.
