HTML - Newbie Question About A Submit Button In This Very Forum
Hello,
I am new at web design, and frustrated by a Submit button constantly opening a new window instead of moving on in the current window. When coming to this forum to look for answers, I found a Submit button I then researched...and now I am even more confused! There's some code in the screen you see right after you log in, that looks like this: Quote: <script type="text/javascript"> <!-- document.write('<div style="margin-top:0px">'); document.write('<input type="submit" class="button" value=" Proceed " accesskey="s" onclick="window.location=\'http://www.htmlforums.com/f-html-xhtml-4.html/\'; return false" />'); document.write('</div>'); //--> </script> Clicking Submit does indeed move you on within the same window, but my questions a 1. How does this work when...it appears to be commented out! Note the <!-- and -->! And if these aren't commenting code out...then what are they there for? 2. What do all the forward and back slashes mean around the address? (I'm curious about the backslash right before the address, and then the forward and backslash right next to each other afterward) 3. I copied this code into my own page kind of like so: Quote: document.write('<input type="submit" class="button" value="Submit" onclick="window.location=\'newpage.html/\'; return false" />'); Every single time, clicking the button results in a white "This page cannot be displayed" screen--but then refreshing that screen causes the right page to come up! Does anyone know why it won't work the first time? Thanks in advance for any help that anyone can provide!

I managed to get one working and somewhat styled decently, but for some reason the submit button isnt showing up when I upload it, even though it shows up fine when i preview it from my local folder. This happens in both IE and Firefox. and yes, i have uploaded the button graphic as well. heres the code for the button: <INPUT TYPE="image" SRC="images/submit.gif" HEIGHT="33" WIDTH="74" BORDER="0" ALT="Send"> you can view the page live he blue 2 any help would be greatly appreciated! Hi guy, Due to my limited knowledge, i had stuck here and hope you guys can guide me along. Let say i have a surveyform.html that is plant into index.htm via iframe. I have limited control to surveyform.html and this surveyform.htm have a submit button. Once this submit button is clicked, it will go to a 'Thankyou.htm'. The problem now is that this thankyou.htm is still plant inside index.htm which i doesn't want it to be. Is there any way that i can change the whole page? Maybe when iframe detect changed of html and the whole page redirect to another page? note: i can't do much to the surveyform.htm Hi guys, I have a drop down box via the <select> tag and then a submit button next to it. I want it so that if the drop-down shows "page 1" or something and then you hit "submit" it links to page 1. Same for "page 2" etc.. Is this possible, and how can I do it please! Thank you for any replies posted! My submit button, when viewed on browsers different than Internet Explorer, has a weird border that does fit around it. Example: http://bestusedexpress.com/junk_you_car_for_cash.html I can't find any code that causes it to be like that, and i'm sure its not that the image has it already, any help? Thanks Hi all, I'm feel really stupid but I have a very simple question. I need to revert the colors of this page: http://pastehtml.com/view/bb17uy02t.html The background should be black and the text white. Can someone please help me out? Thanks in advance. Kent Sorry, that my title is not more precise, i just don't know how to describe or search for what Im looking for How do I make a sort of rectangle/shape in a specific color, and write on top of it? (I have just learned the div-position tag, so I guess I'll use that for positioning...) Thanks for your time! I've create an easy html page and I wanted to attach it to my website. But no one link doesn't to that new page. The page's name is, christmas-ornaments.html I think maybe the problem is this symbol, - Hope to get your advaice, friends. _________________________________ Ok so I am having a problem trying to figure out how to get my drop down box values into my text box. Any help would be appreciated. Here is my code so far. DROP DOWN BOX: (works) <select name="Bands" style="width: 142px"> <option selected="selected">Bands</option> <option value="Creed">Creed</option> <option value="Moop">Moop</option> <option value="ESB">ESB</option> <option value="Metallica">Metallica</option> </select><br /> TEXT BOX (I want to put the value from the text box after Fav_Band =) <div class="style3"> <textarea name="BAND" style="width: 746px; height: 66px" class="style4">Fav_Band="" </textarea></div> <br /> Hey y'all... I am not very well-versed in html use at all but have a good question for all of you that are. I am in need of being able to somehow "read" from the background html source the physical location (no, not the URL, the location on the page itself) of hyperlinks and data entry fields (both location, length, etc.) on web pages. I really do not even know if this is possible. Am I an idiot or is this possible for most web pages? Many thanks for your responses in advance..... |
