HTML - Special Characters Help
Similar TutorialsI have a problem with IE6 and 7 not rendering a special character, the double up arrow, "& u A r r ;" <a rel="nofollow" href="#top">⇑</a> content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> I am using the special character as link text to get the user to the top of a very, very long page with a single click. The character renders properly in FF, OP and SA. To my dismay, I just discovered that IE renders it as a box on top of the link underline. Is there any simple way, css, magic, etc., that I can get this character to render properly? The single up arrow renders, but looks anemic, and I don't want to have "Top" appearing at the end of every paragraph. (I don't want the search engines to think I am stuffing the keyword "Top".) Two single up arrows looks strange. I'm afraid to use an image since I could encounter position problems with different browsers. While suggestions for alternative design solutions are welcome, I am really after a technical a way to use the double up arrow in IE. The page: http://www.iaps.com/list-of-internet...ns-199010.html Thanks Hi, I am currently doing some work on our companies website. As part of this we want to add product codes to keywords to improve rankings in Google, however most of our codes include a forward slash (/), e.g. CC/250S. Does anyone know if the forward slash is a valid symbol in the keywords field, or would this make cause problems in the code? I am reading this: Quote: Another important special character you should know about is the & character. If you'd like to have an & in your html content, use the character entity & instead of the & character itself. I don't understand the entire paragraph above, can any give an example of the above or explain in another way please? Are there special characters like hearts or...whatever that can be done in html. I recently transferred my blog from 1and1 to hostgator, and all my apostrophes have been replaced with � How can this be fixed? Here is my issue: I'm loading an XML that contains special characters (like French characters) and they are not displaying properly. My XML file is encoded in UTF-8. My charset is set to UTF-8 in my HTML document. Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8" /> When I take out the charset completely (don't declare character encoding at all), it displays properly?! (Ack!) I want my HTML to validate properly because I'm attempting to write clean XHTML, but this is leaving me a bit confused. Can anyone explain what is happening? Why does it display correctly when I don't specify a charset? I know all the easy ones like hearts and spades, but i want to do the really cool ones like crowns and clouds for myspace. This site has them: http://www.bigbaer.com/sidebars/entities/ but it only has the numbers and i need the words [ex. it has &1321442; instead of &blahh; ]. And myspace only accepts the word codes so can anyone either tell me how to convert the numbers into letters or give me some help on this?! -The actualy characters i want are stars and crowns Hiya, I can add a hidden like this to my form... Code: <input type="hidden" name="height" value="197cm" /> But what if I want to change 197cm to 6' 5" - i.e., so it contains apostrophes and speech marks... Code: <input type="hidden" name="height" value="6' 5"" /> doesn't work due to the extra speech mark, so how do I solve? Thanks, James I'm using Amaya to write some really simple HTML. If I insert any characters in the range 128-255 (e.g. the degree symbol, 176, or non-breaking space, 160) then instead of embedding ' ' or '°' into the document it actually puts in the byte sequence 0 194 0 176 (degree symbol) or 0 194 0 160 (non-breaking space). In hex these sequences look like 00 C2 00 B0 or 00 C2 00 A0. So it appears that 194 (xC2) is some kind of escape character. However I can find no documentation anywhere which mentions that this is valid HTML - can anyone point me at some? Mike Hi guys, I am looking to do something specific. I really have no idea on how to do it. I have seen something on a site and I said to myself: "Ohh my gosh, I want this on my site!" It is like a html page that goes over another html page (such as a popup but for the whole page). I assume that the background is a png transparent image but huhhh.. How can I do such things? I want this popup to act as a "Error message displayer" kinda. Let's say a user try to login and enter an inccorect password. I want this popup to show up. Thanks, PS: Sorry if I am not clear but I think you get it with the picture. Thanks guys, Hey sorry to bother you PROS out there but I need a developer's help with this form I want to create. I want to create a text form that will take the text input and relate it to a URL after a submission. So it'd be like this: Please input your ID number: [_______] this becomes {value1} (Submit.) After SUBMIT is clicked, user is directed to http://www.url.com/value1 how do I code an HTML form that will do this? There would be a couple different IDs so the form couldn't just link to the one example url. All I want is one simple text box that the user can type into with that scripting behavior. and then a submit button. (I do have a basic understanding of HTML.) Is this possible to do in HTML? Thanks!

Hi, as you have probably realised i'm new to this forum and i was wondering does any one have a code for a calculator. i have found many basic calculators but they won't do what i want them to do, i need a calculator where a visitor types in a number in a box and it automatically subtracts it from a hidden number and displays in another box, many thanks DanielM8214 Hi there, I have desinged this page and I want to use this special font I have on my computer. When the page loads on my computer the font loads, but when it is viewed on someone elses computer the font isnt there. How do I get the font to work on all computers that view the page? Do I load up the font file to the server or something like that? Thanks Ok I need to add some new material to this page: http://lmiinc.com/Testimonials.html As you can see, its some type of different format for the Testimonials Where & how exactly do I edit that part of that page? I dont know what file I'm looking for? Never did this part before... Ok so I have a filetransfer server running in https. Now I want to embed a sound, thing is, it must: not require quicktime, must auto start, must be invisible. My sound file is a mp3, which I am happy to convert to a different file type, I don't think I can use the embed tags because I think that requires quicktime. So what should I do? I mean I see google's mp3 player and yahoos, except I don't see an autostart paramater, and they are all visible. So does anybody have any ideas? Hello, I am updating an old website with no media player. They had one but it became damaged. $25,000 right down the tube, (not my money!). Anyway, if you look at the page I’m talking about... http://rockwindow.com/video_pages/viedo_01.htm you will understand what I'm talking about. I used an image of the old player. I was wondering if I was to use <map> attribute around the control buttons what the code would be for a link to do: play, pause & stop. If you right click the video, those options are in the menu. How do I link to a code for a control like that. Any help, I will appreciate very very much. Thank you! Hello, I have a web page that is built using components. The footer of the page is a component. When building the page, the footer is added using a glob. In the footer, there is supposed to be a bunch of Korean characters. Currently, they are not displaying properly. When the glob is viewed alone, it is still incorrect. However, if the source is viewed, the Korean characters are correct in the source, but are displaying incorrectly in the page. The charset is already set to UTF-8. What could be the issue here? |
