HTML - Ebay - External Html Files
Hi I'm kinda new to all this.
I can see this being the first question to a lot of questions and hope you guys can help. Firstly... Can I put a code in my ebay items so that the whole advert document (eg. item1.html) Can be externally loaded in. This way I can change the look of all my adverts by replacing the html files on my server and without having to touch ebay at all. Kind regards John Similar TutorialsHello everyone, I am working on a website for a webcomic at the moment and I need the following thing: I will have about 50 HTML pages, each with a different comic page on it. What I need is a drop down form list at the bottom of each page that would show all the other pages and when you would click on one of them, it would take you to said page. But the problem is that as time will go by, more pages will be added, and changing the code of the form on each 50 pages whenever a new one is added seems greatly contraproductive. Is there a way I can code this list separately and insert it somehow in every one of those 50 pages? This way all I would have to do would be editing the separate code and it will update on all the pages. I am quite new to building websites, so please excuse my noobness. Thank you. Hi all, We have a few questions regarding the cashing of an HTML document Scenario : We have an HTML/jsp page with now cache response headers, and this needs a number of JavaScript files and CSS files to achieve the functionality. The following are our questions 1. With no-chache response headers in the base document, whether the included external javascript or css files will be cased in browser? 2. Is there any difference between firefox and IE in this regard? 3. If we decide to gizip the response for improving performance, will it make any difference in browser caching? 4. Is it possible direct the browser not to cache the base document, but cache the the heavy external files which are included? Looking forward for some quick suggestions. Thanks and regards, SAN Hi, i had an existing ad that I made with turbolister, i tried a template and added two pictures and a background, i accidently deleted the pictures off my computer and messed it all up. So i restored everything back and it is still missing on ebay. i should tell you that i was not using a online host just my computer to store the pictures, it seemed to be working fine until being the doo doo i am messed it all up. So i tried again and once it gets online its not showing the pictures. The backgrounds are there but not the pictures. I am so lost. Please any help would be appreciated. The backgrounds are also only stored on my computer but remain online in the listing. Its just the pictures that I am having problems with, maybe it is impossible to be offline and only have your computer as the host??? Not sure. You html people are amazing it is soooooo confusing. Here are the codes.

Sandi Hi guys, I am having some difficulty trying to use html on ebay listing, i am new to html and its my first time i have tried producing something within it, i have designed it in web expression 4, i will include a link to my ebay listing and explain what the problem is. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...m=300662175180 Somebody told me my item description covered the whole page and somebody else said they had to view it on a tiny scroll bar to read through it. Can somebody assist me, it would be a god send. Lee Hi all, I'm just wondering if anyone can tell me how the word "knitwear" in this ebay listing (item description) is in a different Font please? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...=STRK:MEWAX:IT I've looked in Source and can't fathom for the life of me how they've managed it! The word Giorgio is also in a different font. Many thanks in advance.. Hi, I have put together a HTML page in Dreamweaver for Mac to act as a listing page to sell on Ebay. When I copy this into the description box in Ebay the page appears well ove the Ebay boundaries. There appears to be a specific area within which your description must appear but I can't make it fit. I've tried removing the 'head' and 'body' tags as an Ebay guide says that these are automatically input for you but that then removes my page formatting, fonts, image placement, etc. Does anyone know if there is a specific code that you need to put in to your listing to make it fit the page or if there is anything else im supposed to be doing. Please help!!! Hi all, I'm new to these forums and would appreciate any help I can get So I've made this eBay listing and the html part of it all works fine, but eBay won't let me submit it because: "Your listing cannot contain javascript (".cookie", "cookie(", "replace(", IFRAME, META, or includes), cookies or base href." Please can someone help me edit my html to get rid of these 'contaminants'? I have a feeling that it's to do with my linked thumbnail pictures... Here's a link to the small text file for the html: http://www.mediafire.com/?dy9mkf4tbrfud34 Thanks in advance, Will. Could anyone please tell me the code to call an external html file? I need to refresh my memories! dear all i've taught myself some very basic html to use in my ebay listings (via turbo lister). at the moment i have an image inserted into the bottom of the listing that shows my feedback and also my terms etc (i use a pic so that i can change the image, re-upload to my server and therefore update all of my listings at once if necessary - i also use other pics so i can use funky fonts). what i'd prefer is to have a tabbed pane at the bottom with tabs for each section of information, e.g. payment/postage/returns etc. and i guess the contents of each tabbed pane would have to be an image in order that i can still update and reload as above? i don't know of any other dynamic update method... i've found LOADS of info on tabbed panes but i can't fathom how to use in the context of the listing template. can anyone help? i'd be very appreciative... thanks, naomi p.s.if anyone's working in this area i wouldn't mind commissioning a whole new listing template/shop design, but not at frooition prices p.p.s. my code (don't laugh, i'm a beginner!!) <P align=center><A href="http://www.stores.ebay.co.uk/stegnome"><IMG border=0 src="http://stegnome.com/ebay/logos/headervaluvintage.jpg"></A></P><FONT color=#804000 face=Verdana><FONT color=#804000><FONT color=#000000><FONT face=Verdana><FONT size=3> <P align=center><IMG border=0 src="http://stegnome.com/ebay/products/2010-08-17topsdresses/001.jpg" width=600><BR><ALIGN=CENTER> <TABLE style="WIDTH: 600px"> <TBODY> <TR> <TD style="BORDER-BOTTOM: black 1px solid;

Okay, basically I am computer illiterate and I need some help from you guys on my ebay auction template. Here is a link to one of my auctions. As you can see, it looks somewhat old and needs revision. I need someone to help me make a new table or whatever it is called. I want this auction to look good, look professional. I need anything, something to make it not look so boring and I have no clue where to start. This template is what I use to list all 900 of the parts I have active in ebay. From the part that says description inside the grey bar, all the way down the the part that has our store link right above the item pictures. Here is a link to the part that needs to be changed: here. Im sure its an easy process, but I am just not too sure how to change it. The guy who made it before me is no longer with us, so I am stuck. Even a finger in the right direction would be great, I have no clue on how to change the way those tables and and borderslook. I am willing to compensate anyone who can help me with this problem. All I want is a good looking auction that is both professional and stylish. I am going to include the html in a post right below this one. Thanks, Jason I really appreciate any help with my HTML. I put together a listing on eBay in HTML with a program called Sellercore. It's an HTML what you see is what you get editing program. I don't know how to use HTML all that well so I am not sure what is causing my problem. When I load the html in my firefox browser in "preview my eBay listing" the listing looks good. When I view it in Google Chrome it is all the way to the right of the screen when it should be centered. I have had nothing but problems trying to create this template because every time I view this in my browser something is off. Everything finally looks good, other than it is not lining up. I used the HTML code of another page from someone else/ basically to get the outline/border of my project. Then I deleted everything inside, and added all my own stuff. I hope I have given you enough info as to why my listing is off center. Thanks for any help is it possible to link html code from a seperate external html file. example, the footer and header is always the same and the content changes. can i create a header.html and a footer.html and have my content pages link to the header.html and footer.html. so if i ever need to update the header or footer, i have to do it once. I tried to look on the net but don't know what key words to look under. thanks., I'm new to this forum, a complete newbie, but I was wondering how I can tell my html page to open another html page and read what is in the new page for that specific section. For example: I have google ads on the right side of my website, where I would put the ad, is there a way to link it to another html script without actually putting it in my html page? Kinda like a CSS sheet but the other way around. I don't want to have to go through every page to change the ad code, I just want to change an external sheet where the ad code is. I also want to do this for the body of my website where the content is. Can I link a external sheet that would input content into the body of the website? First post here. Hope someone can help. I need to embed a table into hundreds of websites. the data in the table changes frequently. I want to be able to alter the table in one place and it changes it on every website. What I've done, and it works well in Firefox, is create a separate html file with the table which resides on the server. Then I use this code in the host website <object data=http://www.web-source.net type="text/html" width="600" height="400"> <embed src=http://www.web-source.net width="600" height="400"> </embed> Error: Embedded data could not be displayed. </object> It will not register in IE though. Works fine in Firefox. Any ideas as to how to solve this or a better easier way to do this?? Thanks in advance. Rich Hi I use an include to display an exteral html file in a div.

Cheers Shaun ok so to start off if I ask any dumb questions my apologizes. I have just started writing HTML code. I have done quite a bit of C++ but its been years and html is much different. Well here is my question I have made a dynamic sidebar for my webpages so I can cut out all those blocky link buttons at the top of the page. So I created an external html file and wrote the code for the side bar, but I can't figure out how to get it into my webpage html files. I am sure its something minor but I can't seem to figure it out. I have been able to get it on the page by using iframe but I really don't like iframe. One of the really big things is I want it locked to the right side of the browser screen so if you scroll it stays there. Also it needs to float above everything else so it will open on top of the webpage and no disrupt the content. I am sorry if this is a simple thing but I have spent 2 days reading everything I can on it and can't get it to work. I have tried it as a PHP file with include command. I tried link didn't work also. I know I could just include all the code on the pages but I am trying to learn how to use template correctly so as to make my pages as clean and SE friendly as possible. Last thing if I need to post some of the code up here to help I can do that. Well thanks in advance, this will make my day if I get this dang side bar to work. Thanks J Hello, I need some help to get a HTML file to load from a PHP file.

I emailed a person a link to a powerpoint pps file and it opened full screen as planned. I also placed that link on an intranet web page and it opened in 'edit' mode. How come? Is there something I'm missing on code necessary to ensure the same URL opens properly and in full screen mode ???? The link was very similar to this where page code is concerned... <dd><li><a href="http://mail.yahoo.com/?.intl=us" TARGET="_top">Yahoo Email</a><p> Might it have something to do with 'target' ??? TIA |
