Similar TutorialsPlease follow this link and observe how the page scrolls up after you have been taken there. It scrolls up because, unless you've been here before and have all the images stored on your computer, the images are continually downloaded and they expand the height of the page causing it to expand down and causing your browser to scroll up. Incidentally, the point at which you were supposed to be linked to ends up further down the page. Is there a way of preventing this? Is there a way of getting the browser to stick to the original point on the page where you were linked to? Hello Everyone! This is my first thread on the forums. I look forward to the responses. But my question today seems simple but I am just a little confused on how to do this. You can tell me if I have this in the wrong place. So I want to make a player bio page, for a sport. I want to put a picture in the upper left hand corner and information about the player to the right of the picture and stats underneath. How would I achieve this? Like I said a picture in the left hand corner. That's the best I can describe it. My biggest problem is implementing the payers picture in there. Would I just make a separate division for the picture, information, and stats? Thanks in advance! Please look at this page: http://www.midwestbookreview.com/links/othr_rev.htm I would like to be able to have a format for a page like this with one blank column on the left and one blank column on the right (so I could just fill in my links).

Hi, I want visitors to be able to download files (.mp3) from my web site . I've looked through some of the posts on this and some seem to say just use something like: <a href="http://yourdownloadfile.mp3">Download This</a> others mention php. What is the best to use? Do I need php? Thanks Hi, I'm putting up a store that sells downloadable content and am having trouble with the download procedure in the osCommerce system. Under Linux it works great but the host I am using uses Microsoft Server and after about 10 mb or 4 minutes time it runs out of resources and reports the download is complete when it is not. Now I'm looking for an alternative method to download the file without the buyer being able to see the exact URL for the file. If he could see that he would have the opportunity to pass it on to his friends. If dishonest he could just as easily email the file to all his friends but I digress. Using the store's download procedure I can only get 46kps where as I can get in excess of 200kps by entering the URL to the file in the address box at the top of the browser. Ok now I have procedures that will check to make sure the person is logged in and he has downloads available to the file before the procedure will continue so what I need to know is there a way to after the checks are run just do the equivelant of entering the URL at the top of the box without actually allowing the user to see the URL to the file? The store uses PHP to do this and under Linux is extremely fast, but under MS server is slower than crap and never completes. I thank you for reading this, I probably gave more information than was needed, but I would rather err on the side of too much than too little. Bob Generally when you click a link to e. g.

Thanks Sakthi I am setting up a website to print free birthday cards. However I am not at all experienced in html. Basically I want the customers to print the cards without downloading the image. I thought I could do this perhaps by loading what I want printed in an iframe (???) The actual page will have the image with a watermark on it, and a printing link that prints the card without the watermark Hi, Im trying to put .pps or .ppt slideshows on my website but instead of playing the show, it wants to download. I thought they were working right at one point a long while ago, but nooooo...I must have been hallucinating! I would really appreciate any advice. page: http://jdsplace.us/vids/seriousvids/...worldpics.html the slideshow is beautyworldpics.pps code: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> <html> <head> <title>Beautiful Views of Our World</title> </head> <body background="/background_images/b2.gif"> <a href="/new/lateststuff/lateststuff1.html"><img src="/gif/backblue.gif" border="none"></a> <center> <table border="4" width="60%"> <tr> <td> <center><font size="6"><em><b> Here are some fantastic photos of our world </b></em></font</center> </td> </tr> </table> <br> <font size="4"> Click the Blue button...may take a moment to load </font> <a href="/vids/seriousvids/beautyworldpics.pps"><img src="/gif/button43.gif" border="none"></a> </center> </body> </html> There are download managers (such as DAP, etc.) which can download parts of files from different mirrors and assemble them on the same pc. Your users will need one of these installed to download the file, or you could send them your own download manager. If using a ready made download manager they'll need to enter the urls of the two mirrors of the file. Hi, I'm a photographer and I want to start posting portrait slideshows to my website. What I would like to do is have a simple HTML page with hyperlinks that when you click on the subjects name it will start the download for the slideshow. However, I would like for it to request a password before allowing someone to download the file. It doesn't have to be double super secret secure and is really more for keeping honest people honest. I would just like to have another step the might deter someone from downloading another person's slideshow. Any help with this coding would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! -Pam How do I get a sound file to automatically download when a user enters the page after purchsing? Thanks. I was hoping someone could clue me in as to whether or not this would be possible. I'm thinking it isn't but I need to make sure. I'd like to provide a file for people to download on my website, but when they click on the link and the download window appears I don't want them to have the option of opening it. Is it possible to only give them the option to save the file? Sounds incredibly unlikely but I gotta know. Link to site for reference: http://www.ante-up.org/v2/ Okay, this may be kind of a doozy, but after some thought, I've come to a point where I am looking into using php inc instead of an iframe for my content display, and I want to know how I could go about using divs to set up the site to look exactly the same with php inc. (EDIT: Minus the scrollbar from the iframe of course) Like if I stuck the Navigation and the Login section into one php file, the 'stats' and miniblog section into a second php file, the header and footer each in their own php file, how would I go about aligning the divs so that I could just php inc everything? I'm first off assuming that this would be the correct way to do it. Any suggestions are welcome so long as they're not about my table usage I'm aware that many don't prefer them, but I've made them work across five popular browsers, so I'm happy with it. TIA for any who can offer some insight. PS: I suppose I should also add that I'm pretty much an ignorant incompetent when it comes to div layers, so bear with me Hey. I'm new here, and I've recently taken some webmastering classes (needed them a lot more than I thought. I just love programming.), and I have had some concerns about what to do with alpha-transparency. See, what I want to do is have a background image (using a <div> tag and some basic CSS for this image alone), and that's all I will have. Is there any way to set the alpha of a background color so that it is transparent? Afterward, is there a way to set the alpha to text so that it is not transparent, either? I want a golden color background (FFCC00), with black text. Will this take another layer of CSS, or is this even possible? (Even with the classes, I'm still an absolute total newb.) Thank you very much in advance. |
