I am looking to have a form with two actions, "save as draft" and "do your thing". Both buttons would go to different scripts in the background which would perform different tasks, ie one saving the form data somewhere, and the other doing the work required. My understanding of HTML forms is that you can only have one submit action, but I am no expert. Has anyone had any experience of doing something similar? If so what would you recommend? Any suggested reading much appreciated. Thanks CKS Hi, I'm brand-new to the forum, and brand-new to html. I'm attempting to modify a form on my website. I had hoped I could avoid learning html by having someone else design my website, but it's becoming increasingly frustrating to go through him for every minor change (not to mention expensive). So, I'm basically learning html while changing this form, and I know it's not a real pretty script, but I just need it to do its job. After 5 hours of work on it, I thought it was just perfect. Every time I made one or two change, I uploaded it, and tested the form before saving it and moving on. It was going fine, until the last changes (removing the required validation on several fields)--now the form submits even when not a single field is filled in. Even undoing the changes and going back to the previous version doesn't help... Here's the original: http://www.cbellisfunding.com/capital_request_form.html And here's my edited version: http://www.cbellisfunding.com/capita...0modified.html Feel free to try the form out; I don't mind the docs in my inbox if it helps troubleshoot. I would greatly appreciate any constructive input! Thank you! ~Michelle~ oh, by the way, I ran the html validation software and it came up with 193 errors (!). All of them were my programmer's, not mine. (I change only a few very specific things) Many were closing code, and I hand-fixed those. The rest I haven't a clue how important they are to repair, since the web form has worked with them so far... hey guys, kinda new at this stuff... just wondering....lets say i am calling 2 different page in 2 frames (one page in each frame) in one html..and lets say those 2 pages require you to login through username and password....i want to create a applet that will allow me to enter credentials(username and password, if they are the same) in that applet(or dialog box) and which use that info and log in 2 both sites... please help me out.,.. thnx Can anyone help me with a HTML tutorial? I need a little bit advanced tutorial. Thanks in advance. I am attachinga a screen shot can anybody give me hints for developing the screenshot. I am new to HTML . Help me out in resolving this problem. I'm relatively new to html, specifically I have never programmed a web form before. My submit page (It's an archive-style site where I encourage people to submit their own stories) seems to have multiple problems, including he simple fact that it doesn't seem to display properly. My main issue, and the one I'm asking about here, is that people keep submitting blank forms and I want to make it so the STORY field is required. Sorry that the code is a mess, but as I said I'm pretty new to this. Thanks for any help you can provide.

When I copy this into the description box in Ebay the page appears well ove the Ebay boundaries. There appears to be a specific area within which your description must appear but I can't make it fit. I've tried removing the 'head' and 'body' tags as an Ebay guide says that these are automatically input for you but that then removes my page formatting, fonts, image placement, etc. Does anyone know if there is a specific code that you need to put in to your listing to make it fit the page or if there is anything else im supposed to be doing. Please help!!! Never mind! Hi I need some help please. I am very un-educted person when it comes to anything www related but could design a bridge from scratch....: I have selected view source from a website and had a look at the HTML that makes it all tick. I have changed a few things (text size and colour) and would like to preview it and see if I have managed to change anything and see if I understand the basics of html. My problem is I copied the source file and pasted in into word from where I changed it. Can one preview the site with any word function or would I require other software?? When I select the "webpage preview" it still comes in html formatt. Could someone please explain (IN PLAIN ENGLISH) how to go about this..... Thanks I've honest to god looked for 2 days for tutorials and pre set up scripts for this but cannot understand any of it. could someone please make all of my friends required, except for the radio buttons. i just need at least one of them selected. id really appreciate it. thank you.

The problem is that the file that is being accessed is located in the folder above the folder in which the file is accessed from. Confused? This is where my file is: \htdocs\admin\index.htm This is where the webpage I want to access is located: \htdocs\index.htm I cannot figure out how to access that file!! How is it done? Many thanks in advance bassguru1234 Hi, I have a niggling problem that I can't resolve despite googling it to death. I'm sure that it will be simplicity itself for those of you on the forum, so advice please. I have a page - just a normal .net page - the basic structure looks like this: <html> <body> <form> <div id="my-site"> </div> </form> </body> </html> Both the html and body tags have height set to 100%. The html tag has a tiled background-image #mysite has a fixed width set + margin auto to centre the site I also have another background image (currently applied to the body tag). This repeats horizontally across the entire width og the page. The problem occurs when I zoom using Firefox. The content expands as expected, and the image applied to the html tag expands, but the body image stops short of the right side, leaving a gap. I use a rest on my css so margins are set to 0. Any help or advice would be appreciated. Thanks John I want to ask you ,guys that already know this things . How much time does it take to learn ? -html -css -javascript -php -mysql .
