HTML - Urls Act As Links
hi
www.ebolasoup.com <-- i want to do that on a page on my site so that any urls displayed on the page act as links, even the urls that are retrieved from the mysql db, oh and opening in new window, how is this done i cant find the answer anywhere? Similar Tutorialshello, sometimes I see the following urls in some websites. Instead of seeing webpages extensions, I see the folders. http://www.example.com/en/services/ What's inside this folder ? How does it work ? thanks Hi everyone, I hope I have posted this in the right area. This is my first time posting here. I currently have my main pages listed at the top of my site as graphics (see fussybaby.ca). I would like to potentially remove these graphics and use text links instead - I had the graphics designed for me, so I can't just go in and make new ones, however I'd like to change/rearrange the links and add some new ones. So my question is: How hard is this to do? Is this something I need to hire someone to do for me? Thanks in advance for any advice! I have several pages of webaddresses and I want all of the addresses to link but dont want to do it to each address, is there anyway to make each addresses automatically hyperlink to itself. e.g www.cnn.com, i would like that address to be hot and when clicked it goes to cnn.com but i have pages and pages of addresses and dont want to have to type a target for each one. Thanks Hi, While parsing relative URL segments "../" to hierarchical segments of the absolute URL , I notice that the <a> tag and the <link> tag do this differently. Take the following absolute and relative URLs: absolute URL: http://www.a.com/a/b relative URL: ../../b/c.css The <a> tag resolves this to: http://www.a.com/b/c.css However the <link> tag resolves this to: http://www.a.com/a/b/c.css It appears that all other forms of resolving URLs are equal between both tags however, I have been trying to find the RFC specification on this but have had no luck. This document http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2396.txt does not contain any information regarding the <link> tag. Is anyone here familiar with this or know where I could obtain more information. Thanks, Bandito http://www.gaihosa.com Hi I have a blog with blogspot (google) and I want to post, say, 50 links. I don't have time to add the HTML link code to each one (<a/ or something) Is there anyway that I can quickly format my links so they are clickable? I just want the URLs to link. For example I want to post (just an example): www.youtube.com www.google.com www.microsoft.com www.htmlforums.com and so on... anyway to automatically make the clickable links? must be i just dont know how :p they are clickable in this forum because it automatically makes "[url]" tags. I want to do the same only on my blog. thanks! Is this possible? I know it seems to go against the grain, but it'd be cool for an image gallery I'm working on. I've got a feeling I've seen a site a few years back where this happened: if you right-clicked a hyperlink and chose SaveTargetAs, the URL would be a JPEG which you could easily save to your computer. However, if you left-clicked the hyperlink, it wouldn't simply open the JPEG but would dress it up in some HTML as a kind of pictureframe. Have I dreamt that or is it possible?! Hey all. I'm attempting to build a website, that when you click a button on the page it links you to a random website; that is sourced from a text document. In short, is this possible. At the moment the only way I can see doing this is: Code: Lucky[0] = "http://www.the-penthouse.com.au/"; Lucky[1] = "http://first.com.au/"; Lucky[2] = "http:/second.com.au"; Lucky[3] = "http://third.com.au/"; However it wouldn't be suitable because I have over 300 sites. Any help would be awesome! Okay, All I want to know is this: I have this simple HTML form HTML Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <title>Proxy</title> </head> <body> <form action="" method="get" name="webaddress" target="_self" id="webaddress"> <label>Web Address: <input name="webaddress" type="text" id="webaddress" value="http://" size="100" maxlength="100" /> </label> <label> <input type="submit" name="go" id="go" value="Go" /> </label> </form> </body> </html> I want what ever text that is typed into the webaddress to be appended to the url below and the person to be taken there http://atyndall.heliohost.org/proxy/index.php?q=APPEND webaddress FORM CONTENT HERE Anyone got any ideas on how I could implement that, I have a PHP/MySQL Linux server. Before I begin, I'm new to these forums, and if someone can give me an answer, I plan to answer some of the more obvious questions around the forum. Alright, so I've searched for around 2 hours trying to find this. Everytime I try, I end up running into people asking the same question over and over again, "How do I create a link that changes the iframe's page?" That is not the question I am asking. Basically, I run a photoshop tutorial website, that I just started. I use an iframe, (named, "mainframe") and I know how to create links that change the iframe's contents. However, I want to submit some of my tutorials to other websites. The problem is that if I link to my website, the iframe loads the default page, and they have to navigate their way to the tutorial themselves, and that is not acceptable for those that actually need tutorials... I've found the temporary solution of copying the index.html file and then modifying the html code to set the default iframe page to the tutorial, then linking to the copied index file. However, I would rather just have one index file, and change the iframe page using a single U.R.L. To further simplify my question, I know it's going to look something similar to this: "http://psprofessor.orgfree.com/index.html?framepage=http://psprofessor.orgfree.com/images/tutorials/patterns/home.html" I know that this is not correct, and you need some sort of indicator as to what the name of the iframe is, I only showed that to show what type of question I'm asking. I also realise that the answer to my question may not include the word, "framepage." The url of the page with the iframe is: "http://psprofessor.orgfree.com/index.html" The url of the page I want to load into the iframe is: "http://psprofessor.orgfree.com/images/tutorials/patterns/home.html" The name of the iframe is: "mainframe" Basically I want to compress all that into a single url that I can type into my browser, and when I type it into my browser, I want to go to the index page and have the iframe named, "mainframe" load the tutorial page as opposed to the default iframe page. Thanks in advance to any assistance that I can get. Hi, We have a large (over)complicated business website - I'm only testing it, so don't have any input to the code (I do have some html experience as I design my own websites, but nothing as complicated as the business one). The live site works OK, but as soon as we work on the test or the live-contingency site, when we click on a link we are taken to the live site, so I think the problem is that the site is using absolute URLs rather than relative ones - I can't see all of them as they are off in the javascript somewhere, and the pages are so complicated I don't fully understand them anyway. As far as I can see the options are - keep it as it is and put up with the fact that we can't test a lot of the functionality (not very good) - build a host file so that we are sent to the correct url (not very good because we're not properly testing the links) - replace all the absolute URLS with relative ones - sounds good, although how we get the developers to rebuild the whole site (3000 pages!) I cannot imagine! Does anyone have any other suggestions? Thanks all John I have a webpage with a button to submit a form to a location, however I would like to be able to make this button send to as many different urls as I specify? Sorry if this doesnt make any sense, but any help is appreciated. Thank you. Hi everyone, I'm a total newbie and have zero previous HTML experience (but have experience reading code). I am modifying a site to support 3 radio buttons that switch the function of a single search bar. Could you guys please help me figure this out? Warning - all of this is copy-and-paste frankencode from the source, pieced together by guesswork. It may hurt your eyes. In case you're wondering, this is simply a design prototype for a class I am taking that requires user testing. The actual web development will be done by someone else if accepted. I will learn HTML properly later on. Attached is an image of what I am thinking of. And here is the pertinent code: Code: <h2>Select the search engine that meets your needs.</h2> <form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action=""> <p> <label> <input name="searchEngineSelection" type="radio" id="searchEngineSelection_0" value="http://uci.worldcat.org/search" checked="checked" /> <strong>Melvyl</strong></label> - Search libraries worldwide for books/music/other media.<br /> <label> <input name="searchEngineSelection" type="radio" id="searchEngineSelection_1" value="http://antpac.lib.uci.edu/search/X?SEARCH=" /> <strong>ANTPAC</strong></label> - Search and reserve material held at UCI Libraries.<br /> <label> <input type="radio" name="searchEngineSelection" value="http://www.lib.uci.edu/search-site.html?cx=009602760963559712792%3Aoglsjsxdz5m&cof=FORID%3A10&ie=UTF-8&q=" id="searchEngineSelection_2" /> <strong>Site</strong></label> - Find a specific page or information on the Library website.<br /> </p> </form> <form accept-charset="UTF-8" action="http://uci.worldcat.org/search" id="wcfw" method="get" name="wcfw" target="_top"> <input name="q" type="text" id="quicksearch_field" /> <input align="top" id="quicksearch_go" onmouseout="goBtnOff()" onmouseover="goBtnOn()" src="./Home Page - UCI Libraries_files/button-go-off.gif" type="image" /> </form> I have no idea how to do it so I am asking you gurus to help. Thanks so much for your time. I was wondering how to do 2 link's in 1, Like where you can click a link, and a little slide bar will popout and show a preview of a page, but if you open it in a new tab. it will actually go to that page instead of opening a preview of the page. Basically 2 different link's, Does anyone know how to do this? (an example of this is on facebook, on the right side of the page where your "online friends" are. if you click there name, an instant message box pops up at the bottom, but if you right click there name and open in a new tab it goes to there profile instead of opening the Istant message box. This is a line of code in my XSL file. It is supposed to generate a link and the link text is the same as the URL. Code: <a href="<xsl:value-of select="." />"><xsl:value-of select="." /></a> It generates this error: Code: XML Parsing Error: not well-formed Location: http://levichi.com/portfolio/portfolio.xsl Line Number 35, Column 16: If I remove the "a href" code, my XML file is displayed well, so it must have something to do with the link code. I suspect it has something to do with nested quotes? I am trying to understand how links work in regards to going from one URL {A} to Another {B} that contains a 'saved' username and password in Fire Fox. If I go to {B} using the bookmarks on Fire Fox, then the saved username and password are shown and all I have to do is click on login. Works nice. If I go to {B} using a link within a Blog then the saved username and password are NOT shown and I have to re-enter them to login. A royal pain. I would like to create a link in the Blog so that when it goes to {B} the saved username and password are shown. Question: Why does the saved user name and password disappear ? How can it be corrected? Thank you for any help in understanding this. Nevyn Okay im trying to get a website started and here the problem my pages are not linking. here are the links i have. Code: <li><a class="current" href="http://jailbreakmyiphone.design-is.co.uk" title="home"><span>HOME</span></a></li> <li><a href="http://jailbreakmyiphone.design-is.co.uk/news" title="news"><span>NEWS</span></a></li> <li><a href="http://jailbreakmyiphone.design-is.co.uk/tutorials" title="tutorials"><span>TUTORIALS</span></a></li> <li><a href="http://jailbreakmyiphone.design-is.co.uk/downloads" title="downloads"><span>DOWNLOADS</span></a></li> <li><a href="http://jailbreakmyiphone.design-is.co.uk/repos" title="repos"><span>REPO'S</span></a></li> <li><a href="http://jailbreakmyiphone.design-is.co.uk/ads" title="ads"><span>APPLE AD'S</span></a></li> <li><a href="http://jailbreakmyiphone.design-is.co.uk/contact" title="contact"><span>CONTACT</span></a></li> here a screen shot of the server and my files Also my site address is http://jailbreakmyiphone.design-is.co.uk/ thanks in advace walous I am building a Website for my Web Design class in school. I am using Dreamweaver CS4 at home. What the problem is that I have linked my Myspace, my Youtube, and my Twitter on the site I am making. When I test out the links on the web what happens is that it uses the Web address I am at and the Web address I clicked and adds it together. For Example, Lets say I have linked my myspace on my youtube. It would look like this, www.youtube.com/www.myspace.com. Why does it do this. Anything helps. Thank you. Can someone look at this page for me and tell me why some of my links change color after being visited but not all of them i am stumped. http://site.sunaviationinc.com/NOVEMBER Hi, I'm new at this and was wondering if anyone could help me with the Html syntax so that when i click on <a href> link instead of going to a new page it simply either drops down or pops out with a number of other links which actually bring you to pages?? Something like the main link it "options" and the sub link are "sounds" and "view". Thanks for your help!!!! The problem with having only a nominal knowledge is that everything you want to do ends up taking hours because you can't figure out what it's called so you don't know how to search for it! I'm trying to have a left sidebar where when you hover over it, a new menu of links appears. Here are a few examples of what I'm looking for: Amazon. When you hover over the books or other links to the right, it gives you more options: http://www.amazon.com/ PBS. If you hover over Episodes it gives you more options. I want a left justified thing, but it's the same idea, I think: http://www.pbs.org/wnet/nature/episo...oduction/3153/ Or even something as simple as this. Hover over "Club Events." http://www.springfieldkennelclub.org/ Thanks! |
