HTML - Using Html To Update A Text File
Hi,
I've never really done much with HTML so i was wondering how clever it really is. I have a form on a page where you can type into an input text box and hit submit but then i want the text you input to overwrite the content of a .txt file which is already there. Is that possible? and how? regards Greg Similar TutorialsI 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 HTML to look at text or xml file - is there a way of creating a HTML tag or Div to look at another text file that can be easily edited as the source to the content. Basically a paragraph that can be easily edited by someone who doesn't understand html that affects paragraphs in divs on a web page. - could someone point me in the right direction - I can't seem to get my head around what I need being only a tuesday and not getting stuck into the week. Thanks in advance... Hello all, I am very new to HTML and PHP coding so could you please bear with me. All I am trying to do is write a string to a text file, and I have tried many examples. Alot of them seem to be similar to this code and it doesn't seem to want to work... Code: <HTML> <HEAD> <SCRIPT language="JavaScript"> function WriteFile() { var fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject"); var fh = fso.CreateTextFile("c:\\MyFile.txt", true); fh.WriteLine("Some text goes here..."); fh.Close(); } </SCRIPT> </HEAD> <BODY> <P> <SCRIPT language="JavaScript"> WriteFile(); </SCRIPT> </P> </BODY> </HTML> What I do is I put this code in Notepad, save it has hello.html and I then open it in firefox. I then check the file and its still empty, then I open in it Internet Explorer and the same thing happens. Any help appreciated. hi, I had created a form using html.Can i collect all the data tht key in by the user at the form to .txt file? can ths be done by php or html?

It is a very basic, sort of old-fashioned website that relies entirely on html. What I'm trying to do is make a drop-down menu that will be used as navigation for a section of a website and I want to have it in each internally linked page in that section, but I'm going to be adding more pages to it over time so I want to be able to put the drop-down menu code in a separate text file and then substitute it into the pages that I make that the options in the menu link to and then just edit the code in the text file when I add another page so that I don't have to go back and edit the code every single individual page whenever I add a new one among them. Basically all I'm asking is how I can put html code in a text file and then substitute that code into an html page by referring to the file. Thanks in advance for any help. I wish to change the html of my TD element by specifying a filename. The file I specify will include the new html I want the TD element to have. I do not know how to use innerHTML to do this. Thank you for any help you can provide.

Here is my html file <html> <body> Hello <a href="c:\\myword.doc" target="_self">Link</a> </body> </html> The preferable way would be to govern it through coding, rather doing some manual settings in browser.

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 tried iframe and was displeased with the results, I want the size of the frame to change dynamically and not just scroll. Fair warning, my knowledge of JavaScript is non-existent >_> . Basically, I have a document written in HTML (please don't suggest a wholesale re-write, that's simply not practical) and the idea is to have one file where it makes sense to include it several times. One thing to mention, this document is not meant to be shown on a web-server, but in a browser while you're reading it off your hard-drive. Here's what I have so far. main.shtml Code: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> <html> <head> <title>test</title> </head> <body> <center> <h1> This is only a test! </h1> </center> <p> Still testing!!!!! </p> <!-- #include file="included.html" --> <p> Even more testing!!!!! </p> </body> </html> included.html Code: <!--<html> <head> <title> asdfasdfasdfasd </title> </head> <body>--> <p> <h4> foobar </h4> <br> <br> <br> <br> <h4> boofar </h4> </p> <!--</body> </html>--> Not sure what I'm doing wrong, help appreciated!

Hi everyone, I've been searching around the web trying to find out how I can send using Outlook a html and text email newsletter automatically. I am quite happy creating html only newsletters, and text ones for that matter, but I have been digging and believe that by using multi-part code I can send to both and the recipients email client "allows" whichever version to be displayed - does this sound right? I'm hoping to simply create the html with the relevent mime references and boundaries (dont know what they are but have seen them on enough Google'd pages to know that they mean something!) and then copy and paste into Outlook - the newsletter is only going out to a few people at a time. Any suggestions or advice would be very greatly appreciated. Regards Allan i just started working on addicted2ally.com, and for some reason, my index.html is showing the text of the html instead of well, doing it lol helppp!? Hi everybody, I've invented a means of converting HTML to keywords. http://4nf.org/tool/ What do you think of it? Any kind of feedback is greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance and kind regards |
