HTML - How To Bold Dynamic Text In Html?

Is there a way to dynamically create text in html/jsp based on a value the user chooses? I have the following code in a jsp and based on the value of the returntype that the user chooses.
The value SSN: has to change to SSN/FEIN: depending on what is choosen in the return type drop down (note, the change has to be in the text and not the inputType field). Is there an easy way to do this?
Here is the form code...

<form action="CompareData" method="post">
<center>
<table cellspacing="5" border="0">
<col width=450>
<tr>
<td align = "LEFT" colspan=2><b>Please enter the parameters below to retrieve the information:</b></td>
</tr>
</table>
</center>
<center>
<table cellspacing="5" border="0">
<col width=200>
<col width=100>
<tr>
<td align = "LEFT"><b>SSN:</b></td>
<td><input type="text" name = "SSN" value="000000000" ></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align = "LEFT"><b>End Year:</b></td>
<td><input type="text" name = "ENDYEAR" value="2007" ></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align = "LEFT"><b>Num of Years:</b></td>
<td><input type="text" name = "NUMYEARS" value="2" ></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align = "LEFT"><b>Return Type:</b></td>
<td>
<select name="ReturnTypeDropDown" >
<option value="WI">WI</option>
<option value="IRS">IRS</option>
<option value="Informational">Informational</option>
</select>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><input type="hidden" name="RETURNTYPE" value="" ></td>
<td><input type="button" value="Retrieve" onClick="validate(this.form)"></td>
</tr>
</table>
</center>
</form>

Right - I am looking for way to do the following...

I want to have a 3 URLs on a page > something like

Code:

<a href="http://www.somesitesomewhere.com" alt="no 1">Click here for option 1</a>
<a href="http://www.somesitesomewhere.com" alt="no 2">Click here for option 2</a>
<a href="http://www.somesitesomewhere.com" alt="no 3">Click here for option 3</a>

which will take the viewer to another website landing page which will have a body of text that will contain an area that will be changed depending on which of the above links has been clicked...

i.e.:
Code:

<p>this is copy for the body of the landing page. You clicked option {dynamic_text}, nice choice.</p>

So the "alt" state appears dynamically - I know that the link will have the dynamic text elsewhere in the anchor tag (not in the 'alt' tag) - but am not sure where/how to implement. Can anyone help?

Cheers

Hi,

I want to create a header (<h1>,<h2>,...) like on the picture (see attachment) with html and css.
It is possible to create sth like that without using pictures?

Thanks

Hello. I'm new here so I'd like to apologise for two things:

1. The possibility that I've posted in the wrong forum section - the problem contains what I believe to be an HTML issue primarily, as opposed to CSS; although I'm probably wrong due to my inexperience with web design.

2. That I haven't worded my title properly or that this problem has already been resolved. I've tried searching numerous forums but I'm having difficulty expressing myself articulately and consequently, I can't find anyone with a similar problem.

Here's my problem:

I'm building a website which contains the owner's latest tweet on the page, in this instance it's at the top. I'd like this text: 'Latest tweet:' to appear on the left-hand side of the actual tweet and for both items to be aligned to the centre of the X axis. Typically, all the options I've tried have resulted in 'Latest tweet:' appearing above the tweet or being occluded by the tweet.

A simple solution would be to create a div containing 'Latest tweet:' and position it next to the div containing the tweet. The problem here is that the 'Latest tweet:' text will remain stationary, whilst the tweet will grow or shrink dynamically, depending upon the number of characters in the tweet. This will usually leave an unsightly gap between 'Latest tweet:' and the tweet.

Is there any way I can get 'Latest tweet:' to appear right at the start of the tweet, regardless of its size? Here is a crude illustration of the gap:-


Latest tweet:____________"This is a relatively small tweet."


Here is what I'd like to happen:-


Latest tweet: "This is a relatively small tweet."


The relevant (I think) code is pasted below. I'd really appreciate the help of anyone who's reading this - even if you're not sure yourself! If you need more information or code then please let me know. I don't have a working link yet but I could upload it if necessary.

Best wishes,

PS

HTML

<div id="twitter_div" style="position: relative; top: -35px; height: 35px; font: 'Palatino Linotype', 'Book Antiqua', Palatino, serif; font-style: italic; font-size: 14px; display:inline;">

Latest tweet:

<p id="twitter_update_list">
</p>

</div>

CSS

#twitter_update_list {
list-style-type: none;
}

#twitter_update_list span a {
display: inline;
color: #fff;
}

I am trying to make a page that has a DTML (dynamic expanding links), and a right hand column - Below is my code.

I want to make the right hand colunm (most common questions grey area) a fixed height.

It seems to be the length of the page as if all the menus are clicked on and opened even if they are closed.

How can I make it a fixed height regardless of how many links (dhtml) are opned or not so that most common questions are no longer than say 500 pixles.

Any suggestions would be handy. I can send code / page as its to long to paste here!


Thanks,
Ryan

I have a website that I'm using as a test project of sorts. The link is he http://www.RyanzLair.com/OnTheFarm/index.html

What I'm wanting to do is, when the user clicks on one of the thumbnails, for there to be a dynamic text box above the image in the main window that will also change depending on the picture. Basically I'm wanting to caption my photos. Right now I'm using a php script to load the pictures into the main window (so I don't have to create a separate page for each image). I'm new to all of this, so I don't know if you need me to copy and paste any code or what not, but I can get whatever you require to help out. Thanks!

The menu for my website needs to be updated often with new subcategories, etc. My website is all in HTML/CSS and has a lot of pages. Whenever I update the menu, I need to update all the pages on my site. Is there a simpler way to do this -say edit the menu on another file and have the changes be reflected on all the pages for my site? Also note that the menu is using CSS/JS files attached to the html file.

Thanks in advance!

Hi All,

I have a specific requirement. When i click on a button, it calls a url action and then need to open an excel attachment. This excel attachment is created using html coding only i.e by giving <content type="application/vnd.ms-excel"/> , it converts the html to excel.
So far so good

Here comes the issue ..I have another requirement. The excel sheet's filename should be the one i give. But by default, excel sheet's filename is the called url name

for example
if the url was ExcelOpen-start, then the excel filename also would be 'ExcelOpen-Start'

How can we give the filename in html. Can anyone help me

Thanks in advance

Well I've been using Wordpress for quite some time now... but I've come across a doozy this time and can't seem to figure it out.

When viewing the post with firebug it says that "strong" tags were used throughout the post to make the thing bold... however in the actual wordpress content editor I only used the strong tag on a few words here and there.

I've checked for open tags, haven't found any.... and yes I'm using the HTML editor on Wordpress, not the visual editor.

The link is: http://www.pzfantasyfootball.com/blog/

Here is how the post appears in the Wordpress editor:
Code:

Well recently I've joined a Dynasty League started by one of the most beloved Dolphins fans known to man, <a href="http://www.phinfever.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=40457">Tom "T-Rock" Eddie</a>. Unfortunately Tom passed away in the summer of 2008... but his memories and his influence on the Dolphins fan base still live on. I was proud to join the dynasty league, but I must say, it's been a completely different experience for me from a fantasy football perspective. 

<p />It seems the first line of business in a Dynasty Leagues offseason is to find replacement owners. As you may or may not know, you're supposed to try and retain the same owners year in and year out so that their teams can develop... like a real NFL Dynasty. However, for many reasons, this doesn't always happen. This league was missing roughly 4 owners, but fill ins were found quick... this is a very popular league for the name alone. After we found the owners, it was time to figure out what to do with the teams. In this case, the teams were very lopsided, so we took all of the players and all of the draft picks from the teams who were replaced, and we threw them into a draft for those 4 owners only.
<!--more-->
<p /><strong>The Re-Draft</strong>
The rules were simple, the 4 owners who threw players in would all do a re-draft from a pool of those players to even out the teams. Trades outside of those 4 teams <strong>were</strong> allowed so anyone could get in the pool to snag some hot new talent to bolster their team. It was a tricky concept to grasp at first, but once it got going, my trade sensors went off! Since I was the first new team to join the squad I got to choose my draft position... I chose 4 out of 4 in a snake draft in order to immediately get back to back picks and to see what everyone would go after. 

<p /><em>Some would question the decision not to take the #1 pick because Adrian Peterson was available... but I'm trying to build a whole team here while the majority of the league already had a set team, so it seemed wise to me to wait a little while and possibly snag 2 immediate starters in a row instead of 1 then waiting for the pool to drain out 6 more guys before I got to choose again. </em>

<p />Ok, 3 picks go by and of course, there go 3 RB's. I'm now looking at a somewhat talented pool of RB's left... or Drew Brees... the best fantasy QB on the market. Since I have back to back picks I have a little leniency here so I go with Brees. Ok, now my 2nd pick. *DING DING* The trade bell goes off. The owner of the Grim Reefers is a huge Rams fan and can't help but snag this pick to take Steven Jackson. In return, I get RB Brandon Jacobs and WR Roy Williams. This would be the first of many many trades I made with this team. I'm extremely excited now... I've had 2 picks and ended up with 3 starters... what more could I ask for? 

<p />It'd be a few long weeks before the re-draft was finally over. I was probably the hottest trader out of the redraft teams and was happy with how my final re-draft roster came about. I managed to snag Ladainian Tomlinson in like round 6 or 7 which I considered a huge steal and I know I had some more solid picks which seem to be slipping my mind right now as I write this at work... Eventually I started I forfeited the rest of my picks as the pickings were slim and I wanted to get the redraft over with. 

<p /> I think the biggest difference of the draft that really had me somewhat shocked, is the stock put into young players. No joke, you'll see young guys who haven't proven anything but the ability to play the bench, go way ahead of perennial pro bowlers. I didn't take that strategy as far as some did... many teams took guys who literally have a very slim chance to play at all, just because they were young and they have the "potential" to play. I tried to keep it young, but I also tried not to reach on anyone just because they were a few years younger. One guy I did snag, that I'm actually especially excited about, is Jets LB Vernon Gholston. The kid seems to be headed for a career as a pass rushing specialist and if it works out well, I could be the proud owner of a 15-20 sack LB on my roster. Yay!!! 

<p />Well, anyways, I'll try to get my roster up on here when I get home. We have the rookie fantasy draft coming up next weekend and I haven't done much homework for it yet... YIKES!! One word of advice I have for you avid fantasy players is, join at least 1 dynasty league. It's a whole new experience that you'll probably thoroughly enjoy. 

<p /><em><strong>*Warning - They're not made for the average fantasy player. </strong></em>

Ok guys and gals... here is my roster after the re-draft and before the rookie draft.

<p /><strong><em>Quarterbacks</em></strong>
<ol>
<li>Drew Brees*</li>
<li>Carson Palmer</li>
<li>Kellen Clemens</li>
<li>Damon Huard</li>
</ol>

<p /><strong><em>Runningbacks</em></strong>
<ol>

<li>Ladainian Tomlinson*</li>
<li>Ahmad Bradshaw</li>
<li>Ray Rice</li>
<li>Darren Sproles</li>
<li>Brian Leonard</li>
<li>JJ Arrington</li>
<li>Brian Calhoun - <em>FA</em></li>
<li>Chris Perry - <em>FA</em></li>
</ol>

<p /><strong><em>Wide Receivers</em></strong>
<ol>
<li>Roy Williams*</li>
<li>Dwayne Bowe*</li>
<li>Anthony Gonzalez*</li>
<li>Reggie Brown</li>
<li>Michael Clayton</li>
<li>Rashied Davis</li>
<li>Joey Galloway</li>
<li>Brandon Lloyd</li>
<li>Kevin Curtis</li>
<li>Chansi Stuckey</li>
<li>Sinorice Moss</li>
<li>Reggie Williams - <em>FA</em></li>
</ol>

<p /><strong><em>Tight Ends</em></strong>
<ol>
<li>Tony Scheffler*</li>
<li>Visanthe Shiancoe</li>
<li>Martellus Bennett</li>
</ol>

<p /><strong><em>Defensive Lineman</em></strong>
<ol>
<li>John Abraham*</li>
<li>Derrick Burgess*</li>
<li>Jason Taylor</li>
<li>Aaron Kampman</li>
</ol>

<p /><strong><em>Linebackers</em></strong>
<ol>

<li>Keith Brooking*</li>
<li>Vernon Gholston</li>

</ol>

<p />Now I tried to list the players in order of likeliness to start at their position. The starred (*) players are who I project to be starting at the position come the start of the season... but anything can change. I'm looking pretty smart for that Jason Taylor pickup now that the Dolphins have resigned him too. I tried to mark who I could remember are still Free Agents in the NFL... I'm hoping those players find a team soon... else they could be cut to make room for the rookies. 

<p />Speaking of which, I really gotta start looking into the rooks... the draft is in less than a week and I'm clueless!!! Catch ya later!

I was bolding text in <p> tags like this

Code:

<p>
			<b>2. Policy</b>
		</p>

Then I added

Code:

<style type="text/css">
<!--
P {
	font-size: 10px;
}
-->
</style>

Now" Policy" is no longer bold

Just getting my feet wet. using XMLSpy stylesheet designer to help
guide. I'm converting XML to HTML, which is Microsoft's recommended
way of controlling the import of XML into Excel. I've got the
stylesheet below in productive use. However, I want to make one key
change. I want the name of XML elements to become the text column
headings so I can deal with files that have dynamic column names.

Suggestions appreciated.

Here is typical XML:
<NewDataSet>
<Table>
<Name>Linda Britt</Name>
<RFQCount>324</RFQCount>
<RFQResponseCount>556</RFQResponseCount>
</Table>
</NewDataSet>

Here is the stylesheet. See comments regarding what I'm trying to
change.
<xsl:template match="/">
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<xsl:for-each select="NewDataSet">
<xsl:for-each select="Table">
<xsl:if test="position()=1">
<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">&lt;table
border="0"&gt;</xsl:text>
</xsl:if>
<xsl:if test="position()=1">

Hi. I have a simple website in HTML with two related CSS files. For some reason I can't seem to get the <b> or <em> tags to work in the body. I tried to use them but the text didn't change. The only way to simulate bolded text was through the use of <h2>, but that messes up the formatting. Does anyone know what might be causing this problem? Could something in the CSS files be overriding the HTML and stopping those tags from working?
