HTML - Displaying Random Lists
Hello everyone!
I have this client who has a lot of resellers, and all of them are on a list in his website, so that when customers look for someone to buy from, they can choose through his site. However, he is afraid that if the list is static, no one will bother to look beyond the first 2 or 3 names, and the ones in the bottom of the list will never be contacted. So, I need to create a method to display the resellers list in such a way that everytime one accesses the list, the order is changed at random, but always displaying all the names. The HTML code the names are arranged right now is a simple table with one reseller per TR tag. I don't work with MySQL, so the solution should be something else... PHP or Java preferred. Thanks in advance! Similar TutorialsI'm trying to make a sidebar to navigate through the website and basically lays out the entire site on the sidebar (which is a tree with nodes and leafs etc), but when it tries to display the text, it gets really squished up on the right side, but there are still horizontal scrollbars -.- This is the html after all the PHP stuff: Edit: I put in "width:100em;" in the li section of css. It formatted the text properly, but then the scrollbar continues on forever. Is there any way to find out how many pixels are needed to format the text properly? More specifically, is there any way (javascript, php) to find the length of a string in pixels?

Hello, I've been working on my website recently and I've found a problem that I have no idea how to fix. I have an unordered list that serves as the menu on the left of the site. I've been trying to remove the black dots that come with the unordered list. They only show up on the first one and they blemish the site. I want to keep it with a list because it allows for pleasing aesthetics in combination with my CSS (link hover changes the color). Is there a way I can keep the same look and get rid of the dots? Code: <html> <head> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css" /> <title>Bob's Page</title> </head> <body> <center> <img class="center" src="img/banner.jpg"></center> <div class="left"> <ul> <li><a href="index.html">Home</a></li> <li><a href="about.html">About</a></li> <li><a href="products.html">Products</a></li> <li><a href="mailto:robert.t.adams5@gmail.com">Contact Me</a></li> </ul> </div> <div class="right"> <p>Text goes here. </div> </body> </html> look at it he http://eco-heater.bobadams.x10hosting.com I put this code in : <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org.TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html> <head> <title>My first web page</title> </head> <body> <h1>My first web page</h1> <h2>What this is</h2> <p>A simple page put together using HTML</p> <h2>Why this is</h2> <u1> <li>To learn HTML</li> <li> To show off <o1> <li>to my boss</li> <li>to my friedns</li> <li>to my cat</li> </o1> </li> <li>Because I've fallen in love with my computer and I want to give her some HTML lovin</li> </u1> </body> </html> I'm not getting the indentation or the numbers for the ordered list. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Hey Everyone, Has anyone else had this problem? I create an ordered list, and set the type="1". The numbers appear in Firefox, but do not appear in IE7 even though there is a margin there for the number. Help is appreciated. Hello, I am new here and hope someone can help. I am creating a page where I need to have several nested lists. The 'numbering' is showing up correctly but the 'nested' lists are not indented. Can anyone take a look at the page and my source code and see if you can help me figure out what is wrong? go to http://www.prewrath.com/index2.html Thank you! bzig Hey -- is there a difference between how Opera and Firefox interpret lists? My site appears to be reading the same in both browsers except that the lists (a considerable part of the design) are not showing up in the same manner. Is there something I can do about this? http://www.trekandromeda.com/index/techindex.html http://www.trekandromeda.com/index/home.css The entire site is written at this point so the other pages will show the same problem. Can anyone help me with this? Hey everyone, I just want to ask a simple question... What is the best element to use to arrange content? I've tried div's, tables and now lists but I still don't know what to use. What do you guys think? Hi i am working on XSLT. the problem some text is given with list labels but it is not aligned properly. so for that i created a <div> and <span> tag as below: <ul style="list-style:none"> <li> <span style="float:left;width:30px;text-align:left;position:relative"> <span class="ro">(a)</span>*</span> <div style="margin-left:10px;width:75%;float: left;position:relative">The conduct of Centrelink cannot be made the subject of complaint or inquiry under the Anti-Discrimination Act because:<ul style="list-style:none"><li> <div style="clear:both;"/> </li> There was also issue in firefox of overlapping text which was solved by using clear:both. the issue is that in <div> i have used width="75%" due to which much whitespace is coming on R.H.S of the page. is there any other option instead of using width? width=75% is chosen after many trials. as nested lists can also be there. otherwise text comes to next line. hi all, im having a bit of a problem displaying a list horizontally, and its really getting a bit frustrating. as far as i can see, it should be a case of using display:inline on the li tags, but so far no luck. ive included my css below: Code: #navigation ul
{
list-style-type:none;
padding:0px;
margin:0px;
}
#navigation ul li
{
display:inline;
}
#navigation ul li a
{
display:block;
width:90px;
height:30px;
color:#fff;
text-align:center;
text-decoration:none;
}
#navigation ul li a:hover
{
background-color:#EF4252;
}
and my html: Code: <td id="navigation"> <ul > <li> <a href="contact.html" >Contact Us</a> </li> <li> <a href="wwd.html" >What We Do</a> </li> </ul> </td> any help would be appreciated. thanks Hi all....

Thanks Coothead edit: photo of what it looks like in FF I have some drop down list tests I am playing with he http://www.my-plague.net/list.php There are a few thing I need help with: 1) If I don't put a "select" url, if go is clicked on I get a server error. I just want it to do nothing. e.g. with the header. 2) If I put a style for a "select" that has no url, then the list reverts to a square more box-like shape. 3) I want to make the go button open the urls in a new window. 4) I don't know what the js code at the end does because it still works without it (found the code in a tutorial) : Code: <script language="JavaScript">
<!--
function gotoLink(form) {
var OptionIndex=form.ListBoxURL.selectedIndex;
parent.location = form.ListBoxURL.options[OptionIndex].value;}
//-->
</script>

Hi, I have a basic understanding of HTML, and now I have a problem. My blog is on www.wrappedfolds.blogspot.com. I am trying to make my list on my blog navigational rather than just a list. I want all of the designs (the list is after where it says "a list of my designs") to be links to the article that they're posted on. I have read plenty about it, but I can't seem to get it to work. This may belong in CSS, but I don't know how you do it. Hi folks, I would really like to create a list that looks like this: A1) Item 1 A2) Item 2 A3) Item 3 ... The A ties in to a "type A" something, and another list with B1, B2, B3, etc. items will be tied into a "type B" something, and so on. So far I haven't been able to figure out how to do this. I can make an (A, B, C) or (a, b, c) or (i, ii, iii) or of course (1, 2, 3) list, but none of these will serve my purposes. I very specifically need an (A1, A2, A3) list. Am I pretty much stuck doing this manually with a table or is there a way to accomplish what I'm after using the list or order list tags? Does CSS provide a means? I'm developing a website that contains a lot of legal statutes. I'm trying to keep to html lists rather than using tables, but have come unstuck with how to display custom numbers in an ordered list. The lists usually begin with (1), then (a) is the indent, then (i) is the next level. These are easy to handle with <ol type=1>, <ol type=a> and <ol type=i>. The next level has (aa), which I've managed with <li value=27> and so on. However, I'm not certain how to handle the following types: (4A) - in between the number (4) and (5) and random numbers, such as (aE), etc. With regard to numbers like (4A), they need to be in the same bracket and can't be displayed as (4)(A) - which is a different reference in the legislation. Any help in displaying custom numbers (even user defined - e.g. for this particular bullet point display "4A") would be great. Thanks in advance. Hello All, Sorry to ask for help on my first visit. Is there any way to link drop down lists to each other using html? For example, the first drop down list would have states/counties. Once they select one, on the second drop down list it automatically generates all the towns in that county/state. It's meant to be part of a form for a website. Many thanks to all Hello, I'm designing a site that has a table with it's cells containing unordered lists. These lists are working and displaying fine, except for when I use IE. The links automatically drop down to the next line no matter what. FF looks perfect. Example: Code: <td width="367" height="165" nowrap="nowrap" background="Assets/GFX.png">
<ul>
<li><strong>Full name</strong> Name<a name="Name" /></li>
<li><strong>Birth date</strong> January 19, 1980 </li>
<li><strong>Birthplace</strong> Frome, Great Britain</li>
<li><strong>Link</strong><a href="http://website.com" class="linkcolor" > Website </a></li>
</ul>
</td>
The part in red is the issue. in IE, the Website part drops down to the next line, even though there is plenty of space in the cell. Is there a trick to fixing this? Hey guys, this may seem as an easy solution but I've been pulling hair over it. How do I get rid of the blank line breaks that appear before and after unordered lists? I attached a picture to this thread of what I am exactly talking about. Thanks in advance! |
