HTML - Text Question

Hi,

I am basically a complete beginner when it comes to programming, but im trying to learn so I hope someone can help me. (This is an assignment from the university btw). If that matters in any way. I am making a website with different functions. One of them beeing a text box, where you can input a number. And a javascript will square the number for you. The textbox appears as normal on my website, and I think the javascript should be good, but obv if anything is wrong with it please feel free to comment. When I enter the number and press enter, the only thing appering is the raw code of the javascript. Nothing happens basically, so obv im wondering what I have done wrong. Hope someone can help me.

So heres the html code:

</div>
<div id="content">
<fieldset>
<legend>Oppgave 1</legend>
<form method="get" action="kvadrering.jsp">
<p><input type="text" name="tall">
<input type ="submit" value="send"></p>
</form>
</fieldset>

And heres the javascript:

<form>
<input type="text" id="input"></input>

<script type="int/javascript">
function kvadrering() {

var input = document.getElementById("tall").value;
var resultat;
resultat = Math.pow(input,2);
document.write(resultat);

}

</script>

</form>

Hope someone can help me=)

Hi . Here is my script

HTML Code:

<table width="200" border="0">
  <tr>
    <td><span class="style2">
      <input name="button" type="button" onclick="show('Hello')" value="Button 1" />
    </span></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td><span class="style2">
      <input name="button22" type="button" onclick="show('Goodbye')" value="Button 2" />
    </span></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td><span class="style2">
      <input name="button23" type="button" onclick="show('Good Morning')" value="Button 3" />
    </span></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td><span class="style2">
      <input name="button2" type="button" onclick="show('Goodnight')" value="Button 4" />
    </span></td>
  </tr>
</table>
<p class="style2">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="style2">
  <textarea name="textarea" cols="50" rows="10" readonly id="area">
    </textarea>

In the areas where it says, for example ="show('Goodnight')", how do I add HTML code in the brackets but as normal text? At the moment it is trying to read it as HTML code but I want it to be displayed as text. How would I accomplish this. It is probably pretty simple but I am a bit of a noob

Thanks

Hey guys, I'm pretty new to this whole html/web developing community and I got a few questions. My most important question is:

1. Would it be possible to have a button(like a type=file) that browses directories only, but instead of uploading them, just displaying the path as a text, so when my script picks it up, it just reads the text?
EDIT:
What I'm talking about is very similar to this thread, but i just want them to upload path so when the script emails the data, its just a link to the path on the local server




and my other question is:

2. If a user enters data in a text area, like i am writing in this, when my script picks it up, it does not seem to get the newlines at the end and just displays it all on one line, is there a way i can go about fixing it so that it gets passed(or even converted) to exactly how the user entered it?
EDIT: I've tried using wrap="physical" tag but I've been reading and some people say that it doesn't work..any suggestions?




Thanks a bunch for your help

Hi I work at a helpdesk and we are creating a knowledge base of all of our information. We are currently trying to develop a way to track the steps that the agents have completed within the knowledge document. Therefore, someone brought up the bright idea that after each step or beside each step that there will be a check box. Once the agent clicks that check box the information from that step would be logged as a log comment within our ticketing system. Now we can move the data into the log comment field without a problem but we are running into the issue of copying the selected text with check box. Could anyone assist with the coding?

I have several websites that I maintain and update. A lot of them are just textual changes and I would think my customers can do these themselves by editing a simple .txt file.

I was hoping my choices are avalable so that I can just insert this tag into my web pages and then give them login info to their edit page or show them how to upload the .txt file.

I hope this is an easy one with several answers.

Is it possible these tags could discipline your rankings in the search engines?

Thanks,
Jason

here is the (ineffective) code currently:

<img style="float: left; width: 169px; height: 73px;" src="img/logo1.png" alt="" />
<h1 style="text-align: center;">random text</h1>

the image shifts the left margin such that the text is centered as though the page width was 169px less than it really is.

i'm not debating the code itself; the code above behaves as its meant to. aka no surprises. i just cant figure out the appropriate code to center the text across the entire real width of the page as though there was no image.

i've tried div tags & all the things google hunting advised. no luck. other than finding this forum, which seems like it'll be a boon!

thanx in advance for advise/comments/feedback/help.

Hi All,
I am new to this forum and is expecting an answer for this question. I have implemented a facebook type search to the database which displays the familiar text saved in the database when I type some text in the database. My issue is after I have used the search box for a couple of time the text box starts displaying a similar dropdown from its history which hides my database search. Does anyone know how to disable it using html or css. See the attached Image if my question is not clear.

How do I Link text in a div, h1, h2, p to an external text file or xml file - I don't really know how to ask the question. I think I need an xml file that can be easily edited by a user saved to the server to update an xhtml page text without the user getting bogged down in html.

I don't want to use joomla or cms.

<Any ideas />?

Best wishes,
mas

I want to implement a rollover (javascript or css) that changes text when you rollover it. E.g. someone's name and when you rollover it shows their address. I've googled this and found a css rollover which changes the color of the text but is there a way to completely change the text? Any help much appreciated, thanks

Hi, this is appleguy.......6142!
I was wondering how to make a text box display something somewhere else
for example (This does not work)----
------------------------------------------------------------------
[page1.html]
(Pretend this is a text box)>>> [Text Text Text...]

[page2.html]
-This is the text displayed in the text box->>>Text Text Text...

HOW DO I DO THAT

PLEASE HELP!!

I have seen this many times but can not figure how to do it. Its the transparent images or text in text boxes, one example of this is http://au.movies.yahoo.com/Coming+Soon/to-cinemas/ At the top right you can see that transparent yahoo image in the text box and when you click it it disappears then comes back? can someone tell me how this works?
Thanks

Hi, I hope I'm posting in the right area as this is my first thread.

The problem I'm facing is I have 7 links in a row
| Link 1 | Link 2 | Link 3 | Link 4 | Link 5 | Link 6 | Link 7 |

and below those links I have nothing.
What I want is for Text to appear on rollover on Link 1 and stay there until Link 2 or another link is hovered over.


Example:
Mouse hovers on Link 1 - called Free Home Survey
Text appears below row of links about Free Home Surveys that the company does

Mouse hovers on Link 3 - called Personalisation
Text appears below the row of links about Personalisation
etc

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
