}
any help out there?

For a project in my high school web design class, I need to integrate an Excel spreadsheet as data so to speak for a web page. I want to pull the prices from the sheet, and make them appear on the page. I'd like to pull it from the sheet so that the client can still adjust and edit the prices without having to reach the actual webpage. Conceptually, I thought this would be fairly straight forward, but in researching how to do this, I got very confused. I'm not even positive that I'm putting this in the right section.

So my main question is this:
Is there a way to integrate an Excel spreadsheet in such a way that it can provide data for certain fields of a webpage? If so, can someone please explain how?

Thanks,

Hello,

This question is not really about js per se, but more having to do with w3c specifications. I did not see a more appropriate place to post it. I wish there were such a thing as a w3c forum.

I have a large number of QT movies in an archive that I have been displaying using the ol' object/embed tag method. In an attempt to bring the pages up to w3 standards, which does not allow embed tags, I have considered this recommendation from Apple for embedding QT videos:

http://developer.apple.com/internet/ieembedprep.html

Great, now the pages validate. However, when viewing the generated source written by the js, what do I find? Exactly the same code I used that would not validate - object tags with an embed tag in the container.

My question may be somewhat philosophical : Is this just merely a way of "tricking" the w3 validator? I mean, if the effective code that the browser sees is the same, why not just put it in there with HTML in the first place, other than to be able to put the w3 'validates!' icon at the bottom of the page?

You see what I am getting at?

Hi there, I'm working on a presentation and I'm going to store each page into a ".html"

So in example, I have...
"1.html"
"2.html"
"3.html"

Each number goes to each slide accordingly.

The way I was working the presentation out was having users load a webpage via mobile phone which contains an iframe. I'll change the src of the iframe to the desired slide; and the META refresh will handle displaying it to the user.

Now, here's the problem. It flashes on some browsers, like Blackberries.

I'd like for the content being refreshed to not flash, but appear naturally. That way, the user doesn't have to attempt to read flashing text (which gets -REALLY annoying)
------------------------------------
TLDR; I need some code to refresh a page/div without flashing the content on ALL if not MOST browsers. Thanks.
------------------------------------
I think I know how I'd solve this issue; but I'm not too sure how to "integrate it"

Perhaps, have a Javascript code keep the current "look" of the page static until "X" seconds. So, this would happen.

Page refresh -> Javascript holds page for 5 seconds -> Page finishes loading -> Original page revealed

It'd act kind of like a cover-up.

Hi Guys & Girls,

I am looking for help with a technical issue, which my programmer can't find the answer to.

My website has a demonstration facility which allows a client to enter their website which then in turn creates a video transparency overlaying their own website.

The problem is some sites with Flash, overlay my transparency video so that you cant see my demo video.

Any ideas please.

Thanks

Hi there,

A client of mine has asked me to change a flash component on his website to something that will work on the ipad/iphone etc. So my guess is that a javascript created slideshow would do the trick. Check out what I am meaning on this page:

http://www.it-world.com.au/

It's the flash with "Our Services" "Our Products" "Contact" in it.

Can anyone suggest a very easy javascript that I could manipulate to give this same scrolling effect on the click of a link. It needs to be very easy to make changes to as I have no js skills whatsoever other than copying, pasting and making minor changes to obvious pieces of script.

hope someone can help!

Thanks,
Ross

Hi all..

I have a modal window I'm working on, but the flash below it comes over the top of the modal window. I'm assuming it's a z-index issue. I'm using Tinybox2 for the modal window, and it's CSS styles use 800 and 900 for z-index.

Code:

.tbox {position:absolute; display:none; padding:14px 17px; z-index:900}
.tinner {padding:15px; -moz-border-radius:5px; border-radius:5px; background:#fff url(images/preload.gif) no-repeat 50% 50%; border-right:1px solid #333; border-bottom:1px solid #333}
.tmask {position:absolute; display:none; top:0px; left:0px; height:100%; width:100%; background:#000; z-index:800}
.tclose {position:absolute; top:0px; right:0px; width:30px; height:30px; cursor:pointer; background:url(images/close.png) no-repeat}
.tclose:hover {background-position:0 -30px}

The flash itself isn't in a div but in a table. Is there a way to give it a lower z-index?

Thanks in advance!

How to learn Flash Scripting

I have created a transparent flash video (virtual spokesperson) for my website. For demoing purposes, I would like to have this appear on any desired website.

This is what I am trying to produce - here a virtual spokesperson appears on the codingforums.com website:
http://www.innovateads.com/iads/demo...dingforums.com

Have a look at other sites which enable one to type in a URL and their demo virtual spokesperson appears on the given site:
http://www.vspworldwide.com, http://www.impactspokesperson.com, http://www.websitetalkingheads.com and http://www.laserstreamvideo.com.

I believe they do this within an iframe to display the underlying website. Any ideas how to get this working ? I would really appreciate any feedback, code, how-tos, links... whatever. I am a complete javascript newbie. Thanks

I have this code http://www.jsfiddle.net/Nntc7/ created by a pdf publisher, I need to offer non flash content to users but dont know javascript and I cant get the thing to work using swfobject, How do I edit this to allow for alternative content??

thanks in advance

Hi,
I'm currently working on a Flash pop-up that can be integrated in several websites. I'm currently testing the code. I've got a flash file with a semi-transparant background that loads over the complete page, it also closes the div with the flash content once the end of the swf is reached.

The thing is, I want to prevent the user from scrolling whilst the swf is active. That's why I disabled the overflow-Y.

Now I've got a javascript code that is supposed to change the body's overflow to visible again, and I'm calling to this code in the same frame as where I disable the div with the flash in it.

But for some reason it isn't working.

This is my complete Javascript code:

Code:

<script type="text/javascript">
<!-- Original: Gregor (legreg@legreg.de) -->
<!-- This script and many more are available free online at -->
<!-- The JavaScript Source!! http://javascript.internet.com -->

var ie4 = (document.all) ? true : false;
var ns4 = (document.layers) ? true : false;
var ns6 = (document.getElementById && !document.all) ? true : false;


function hidelayer(lay) {
  if (ie4) {document.all[lay].style.visibility = "hidden";}
  if (ns4) {document.layers[lay].visibility = "hide";}
  if (ns6) {document.getElementById([lay]).style.display = "none";}
}

function writetolayer(lay,txt) {
  if (ie4) {
    document.all[lay].innerHTML = txt;
  }
  if (ns4) {
    document[lay].document.write(txt);
    document[lay].document.close();
  }
  if (ns6) {
    over = document.getElementById([lay]);
    range = document.createRange();
    range.setStartBefore(over);
    domfrag = range.createContextualFragment(txt);
    
     while (over.hasChildNodes()) {
      over.removeChild(over.lastChild);
    }
     over.appendChild(domfrag);
  }
}


<!-- This is the part I added which I thought would show the scrollbar again after the flashpopup is finished -->
function showbar(){
	document.getElementsByName('body')[0].style.overflowY = 'visible';
}

</script>

And in the final frame of my flash animation I first stop the swf, and then call to both functions:

//stops the movie
stop();

//this is the code that triggers the function to hide the div, and the function that should show the scrollbar

getURL("javascript:showbar();");
getURL("javascript:hidelayer('newlayer');");


I've also got an online webtest he

And I've included all the files in a zip

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Please skip the intro. I'm talking about the navigation of this site. The way there is one huge background and clicking on each page moves the background to a certain part. Is there a way I can pull this off using some form of javascript?
