HTML - User Creating A New Page

I'm fairly new to html, so if it's something obvious, give me a break.

I have a background image with blank sections where I want to put stuff in to, and in one of the sections I want to put a frame or a table so I can have a list of links which you can scroll through, but I don't know how to put it anywhere I want on the page.

Any help would be great, thanks.

Sorry if this has been posted before, I looked but couldn't find it.

I am having serious problems with something I am trying to create. I am building a site which at the moment consists of 1 Page, namely my index.html page.

I have put a lot of time and effort into the page and it looks fantastic, however, When the site goes live (school website) there will be a LOT of content pages.

My dilema is, say for instance we want to add a new button on or change something on ALL the pages, it would take hours.

I know in PHP you can do the index.php?page=departments....and I am sure I have seen it in HTML before. Therefore creating me a template which I only have to change 1 page and the rest will change automatically.

This would help me SO Much.

Thanks In advance

Greetings!

This is my first post on these forums, my apologies if I do not format is properly, or such.
Also, I have no code to copy here to be looked at..

I am more looking for some advice, or to be pointed in the right direction..


We want to create a download page on our website, where customers can download our product after paying, but we want the URL to expire. (Or we can make it password encrypted with a password which expires).

We have the website worked out up the point of payment, we now just need to code a page which we can distribute our product on.


I've bought many items before, like online e-books, or computer software, where the download stays open for 24 hours, and then closes, and that is what we are after.

Can anyone point me in the direction of, or assit me in how I can make a start with this please?


Some notes on the product(s):
Each download is 37 MB (four downloads of four e-books)
Small PDF file.
Hosting space and bandwidth is not a issue.

A note on ourselves:
We have quite a lot of experiance within the team creating our own websites with GoLive, but none of us have done anything like this before, and we're all a little lost.


I do very much appriciate your time for first reading this, and secondly I will be thrilled if you will also spend your time to help us!


Thank you for reading, it's deeply appreciated.


Warm regards,

I am working on a site that will allow the user to print out a contract. However, the customer wants a way to scan the contract in and allow their OCR software to pick up the contract # and automatically store the image.

I have the peice working where I have a web page display then a printable version. However, how can I ensure that the printable version always puts the data that will be OCR'd in the same spot? Is there some sort of absolute positioning that I can use?

Also, I can foresee a potential problem with this with regards to different browsers and different printer settings. I just don't know what those problems might be.

I am working on a page at the moment and I am trying to figure out the best way to let the user know what page they are on. For example... if they click services... maybe the leftnav would go Bold or I could write services on the Top of the page? I was wondering if I could edit the CSS to automate this? I doubt you can do this but just in case here is my css

Code:

body {
    margin:10px;
    background-color:#f0f0f0;  
    font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;
    font-size:18px;
 } 
#container {
    width:776px;
    margin:auto;
    background-image:url(../images/container-white-bg.png);
    box-shadow:#333 15px 15px 30px;
 }
#banner {
    display:block;
    width:760px;
    height:120px;
    padding:8px 8px 0 8px;
    background-color:#066;
 }
#top-nav {
    width:768px;
    height:81px;
    padding:8px 0 8px 8px;
    margin:0;
    list-style-type:none;
    background-color:#066;
 }
#top-nav li {
    float:left;
    margin-right:8px;
 }
#top-nav a,#top-nav span {
    position:relative;
    display:block;
    width:120px;
    height:81px;
 }
#top-nav span {
    position:absolute;
    top:0;
    left:0;
    background-image:url(../images/gallery-banner.png);
 }
#mcad {background-position:-8px -8px;}
#nios {background-position:-134px -8px;}
#moad {background-position:-260px -8px;}
#scad {background-position:-386px -8px;}
#clou {background-position:-512px -8px;}
#what {background-position:-638px -8px;}
#nav {
    float:left;
    width:120px;
    padding:0 8px;
    margin:0;
    list-style-type:none;
    background-color:#066;
 }
#nav li {
    margin-bottom:2px;
 }
#nav a {
    display:block;
    width:120px;
    padding:30px 0;
    font-family:arial,sans-serif;
    font-size:90%;
    font-weight:bold;
    color:#033;
    text-align:center;
    background-color:#699;
 }
#nav a:visited {
    color:#000;
 }
#nav a:hover {
    color:#fff;
 }
#content {
    float:left;
    width:610px;
    padding:25px 15px 10px 15px;
 }
#content p {
    margin:0 0 10px;
    font-size:90%;
    color:#000;
 }
#services {
    font-size:110%;
    color:#000;
 }
.text-indent {
    text-indent:20px;
 }
.padding-bottom {
    padding-bottom:16px;
 }
#footer {
    clear:both;
    line-height:30px;
    color:#000000;
    text-align:center;
    background-color:#066;
 }

Hello

I'm trying to create a page, when its someone's first time opening the web site they get asked if they are under 18 or not and if they are over 18 and enter the site, and the next time they come to the site, it would by pass the age page. Is there anything that I can read that would help me create it?

Please give me any suggestion that you have.

Thank You

Hopefully this is something relatively simple. I am trying to make a page that contains a table that users can log into and add rows of information to the table.

1)How would I go about creating an editable table.
2)How would I go about saving the updates to the webpage so their changes appear the next time they log in.

I was thinking this might have something to do with some PHP coding to write the changes but not sure.

Thanks for all your help

Hello.
I have a website all based in php-fusion, and before it, I had one based on php-nuke on the same address.
Since I upgraded, every user who was automatically logged in the old site, when visits the new page, get a error message, because php-fusion is searching in his cookies info witch is mismatched, because it were made by Php-Nuke.
So, I wanna create a welcome page, all in HTML, telling the user about the error and also telling him how to erase the mismatched cookies, and when he click in "proceed to home page", the site saves a cookie in his computer, and when he visit the page again, he will be automatically redirected to the home page.

How can I do that?

Hi,

I'm new here and need a simple question answered:

I have a store I am putting online, the store resides in a folder under the main folder so I need to have the index.htm in the main folder redirect the user to the index.htm in the store folder. I'm a bit rusty on my html skills, CRS is begining to raise it's ugly head, and can't for the life of me remember how to do it or find a reference to it.

Hi,

I'm looking to create my own version of a printer-friendly page. Any resources I can find on this subject are extremely specific about what they consider "printer-friendly", and they don't address my issue. It seems to be browser specific, but I want to get rid of whatever extra is printed in the top and bottom margins. Printed from IE, the top margin contains the page title and page information, while the bottom margin contains the URL and date. Printed from Firefox, the top margin contains the title and URL, and the bottom margin contains the page info and date. I don't want any of this - how would I disable it?

Thanks.

Hi. Im having a hard time getting this to work.
I have bought a service from a phonenumber supplier and they will provide me with a database. But i need to create a searchform that queries and shows the results on the same page. I have all the strings and such to make it but i need an example on how to make this page. Its got to be in either php or html.

I can not give you the url and such to the suppliers because it is classified. hehe
But if anyone could give me a little helping hand here i will be very thankfull.

Hello All,

I am new to this, and not sure if this is the right forum.

But, I have a simple web page with drop down menus where I can put values for a calculation. I would like to have the values saved as an input file for a python script that resides on the server. I would like the input file to be created and then the script executed and the output appear as a new page.

I have googled this and have come up empty. Can someone point me in the right direction.

Thanks,
Bryan

Hi all,

I have a form with 4 pages, there are few checkbox in the 2nd page. The problem here is when the user fills in the 2nd form and moves on to the 3rd form, and in case if he comes back to the 2nd form using the back button on the browser, then how can i automatically check the checkboxes the user has already checked in the 2nd page of the form.

Thanks
James NT

Is this possible? I remember seeing this somewhere but I don't really remember how to place the info in the address.

Is it something like http://test.com@username:password ?

Thanks!

Is there a way I can load a page (with a text informing that 'you need flash player to view this web') if he doesnt have it installed in his browser? How would I do this?

Your help is greatly appreciated.
