HTML - Mass Content Update

Hey guys, I used to know a lot about html, but then just completely stopped doing anything with websites for too long.

I was just wondering how I can replace a word or number with a specified word or number.

What I want to achieve:
I've got a forum with a couple thousand members and it's picking up in activity and I want to make some names stand out for being helpful. I want to replace their names with an image.

But to do so, it'd have to be a code made and added into the footer template. Because obviously I can't edit a username for html image code. So I just need the code to find all instances of a certain username and replace it with what I specified.

-------------
Man I really wish I remembered how to do this haha.

Thanks guys.

Hello,

Can you tell me what the best way would be to update a WEB page with simple date content please?

We have a page that shows when certain production jobs have run and the last time i had to update it i had to actually change the HTML code and that was a pain.

Is there an easier way to maintain this HTML page?

I'd like to work with something like WORD where i just deal with the content on the WORD page and let WORD generate the HTML, but this particular HTML page has custom layout, but i'm figuring since WORD can do it there must be another tool that can handle this custom layout and content like a WORD HTML page?

Thanks very much for any insights!

I am creating a webcam and my software ftp's a new jpg every 2 minutes. It overwrites the old jpg.

The problem is that most browsers (IE, Safari, Chrome) see a jpg that is hours old and has been overwritten 60+ times. And when those browsers see the webcam page, they see an old photo.

All three of these browsers see the same photo / time - overwritten hours ago.

It does not appear to be a browser cache issue because the browser / computer were off or offline at the time that photo was uploaded. I can turn a computer on and see a photo that was overwritten hours earlier.

Firefox appears to be an exception. It shows the current photo and the webcam page works properly (although I have at least one Firefox user who reports a problem).

Here is the link directly to the jpg that is being uploaded via ftp.

The webcam software I am using is EvoCam.

A refresh on Firefox shows the latest photo. Not on the other browsers.

What the heck?!

I recently just added an RSS feed to my website, and I was wondering how to update it....Do I have to edit it in Notepad, save it, then upload it again?

Also, when you subscribe to an RSS feed on Google, is this "headline" thing supposed to be the most recent story, or is that supposed to be my site name and link to my homepage? I'm very confused, as I added like 10 items to my feed and only 2 show up (one of them taking place of my headline for some reason).......Here's the code:

I NEED THE INFORMATION ON THE FORM TO BR SENT TO A SPECIFIC EMAIL ADDRESS....

The menu for my website needs to be updated often with new subcategories, etc. My website is all in HTML/CSS and has a lot of pages. Whenever I update the menu, I need to update all the pages on my site. Is there a simpler way to do this -say edit the menu on another file and have the changes be reflected on all the pages for my site? Also note that the menu is using CSS/JS files attached to the html file.

Thanks in advance!

The company website I manage is growing to the point where I won't be able to update it all by myself. I need to find a tool that will allow people with no html experience to update their section of the site. Does anyone have any recommendations? I want it to be as easy as possible for them.

Hi all,

How do I force a single web page to update to its most recent content?

This file is being loaded from a frameset and when I load it in IE it doesn't update, I have to wipe all the temporary IE files in order to see the updated content.

Thanks in advanced.

Hello everyone at HTMLforums.

I'm writing up a rather simple layout for a small sub-site (take a look here): http://wintercarroll.co.cc/legendaire/. I plan on having that single side bar with links to various pages. As an example, if someone were to click on Characters, there would be a page of short profiles, and a list of links on the side ever present while you are in the character section. I was wondering if there was an easy way to have this update without having to go though every character page and copy-paste a new link in every time a page gets added? On that same not, I've seen sites with the expanding and contracting menus with the click of an icon (usually a '+'). How does one go about that?

I've got a menu I've made in fireworks that I've got to copy to about 20 pages every time I update it. Is there any way to make this process simpler?

ok.. well.. im making a control panel.. that updates the parent window...

</script>
</head>
<body><center>
<img src="cpanel.jpg"><br>
<div class="maintitle">welcome to the control panel!</div>

Hi

I am designing a form to update a template i have created. The idea is to leave the form with a user and they can input details which will update a template i have designed for use with ebay.

However i have designed it using javascript and when this updates my template it doesnt actually fill out the data, it is only taking the data from the intial form not actually making a new hard copy with the data?

I would like the new template so i can view the source code which will contain the user filled info. This will then just be copied into the ebay description for use.

Any help appreciated.

My current web site is at "CAVAglass.com"

I created "http://www.cavaglass.com/gallery/1.GORMENGHAST.htm" and want it to be my new Index Page. All the links work fine here.

When I rename "http://www.cavaglass.com/gallery/1.GORMENGHAST.htm" as "index.htm", and open my "CAVAglass.com" website this home page looks fine, but no links work.

Any suggestions? Best,
Joseph
