HTML - Html...special Characters-symbols?
Are there special characters like hearts or...whatever that can be done in html.
Similar TutorialsI 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 I 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.

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? 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 recently transferred my blog from 1and1 to hostgator, and all my apostrophes have been replaced with � How can this be fixed? 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 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! Andrew Hi, I try to display my string "as is" in HTML page. I know the solution is escape characters. I know I can use a couple of pairs, like this Code: strResult = ReplaceCharacters(strSource, chr(38), "&")
strResult = ReplaceCharacters(strSource, chr(60), "<")
strResult = ReplaceCharacters(strSource, chr(62), ">")
strResult = ReplaceCharacters(strSource, chr(10), "<br />")
strResult = ReplaceCharacters(strSource, chr(34), """)
strResult = ReplaceCharacters(strSource, chr(160), " ")
which should be pretty easy to understand, just replaces characters with HTML escape characters. How about replacing a tab (chr(11)) with HTML code? Is there any escape character for that? Is there some others that I should add to my code? Greetings, If you access the following website http://www.chrisnieratko.com/ in IE / Firefox, you can view the site perfectly. However, with Chrome / Safari, you can't. You just see a bunch of code with ascii question marks. I know it's missing the doctype declaration, but is it the question marks that make it not visible for those browsers? (Chrome / Safari) When the site's pages are opened in notepad, textpad and notepad++, the question marks aren't there... so how do you eliminate them? Does anybody know of another editor that will view / edit these? Does anybody know if that's even the problem? How did they just appear out of nowhere? Most importantly; How would YOU fix this problem in the easiest way possible? (I'm guessing a certain type of text editor with a search function, then search / eliminate them and re-save the file?) Any help is MUCH appreciated! Thank you so much in advance for your time! Hi All, I have a really irritating problem. I have written some code in HTML, and bits of it use the left square bracket, ( [ ). When I paste it into an online web editor, and upload I go to the site and the code does not work properly. I look at the source code and the web editor automatically changed the left square bracket to the HTML escape character equivalent [. Is there something I can put in the code to stop this from happening? I have no control over the web editor and even if I go into the web editor and replace [ with [, upload and refresh the same issue happens! Ok I'm trying to create an unordered list but I need two other seperate lines of text under each of the bullet lines of text' I'll see if I can give and example of what I need: (bullet) Day Spa www.dayspa.com A day spa treatment (bullet) Nelson Spa www.nelsonspa.com Full line spa (bullet) Whispering Spring Spa www.whisperingspring.com Full spa and resort when I do a simple UL and try to use <br> tags to create the different lines under each list, it wont validate and says I cant have a <br> inside a list. Also the bullets need to be black small squares, which, maybe I have over looked, cant seem to find the ascii codes for a small black square. I also get validation errors saying I cant have an "a" reference inside a list. So I tried to work around this by setting this up as a paragraph with <br> tags after each line and just find the ascii code and insert a square before the first line of each spa. Anyone know a way to accomplish this and still get the validation? Any help would be greatly appreciated! btw i made up the links but they seem to work! sorry but I wasnt trying to use real web links. Hi, I was tweaking some of code on my page and when I was finished, some strange symbols are on it and I don't know how to get them off. Here is the page: http://pacificnewsnow.com/index2.htm In IE it appears as small boxes and in Firefox as a question mark in a diamond. Also, do you know how to fix the text so that it isn't cut off on the top and bottom in the headline? And, how can I make more space between the lines of text in the paragraph? Thanks. 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, hello im designing my first site, there are a number of pages in my site(i have used frames) overall structure n design n content remains same everywhere except in one frame(whose content is decided by the choices made from else where) i am using special fonts completely in my site so need to put them somewhere so that when a user opens my site it sees everything in my special fonts. so how do i get this thing resolved?? also how do i remove underline from a hyperlink? |
