Left Aligning Text in Textbox

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 21:45:32 -0500

I don't like relying on people, but this has been driving me crazy for over three hours and I have had enough. I have been trying to figure out how to left align the text in my read only textarea. You can look at the problem at http://priceprospector.com/html_tutorials.html. I have a feeling that the problem has something to do with the code above the textarea, but I'm not sure.

Tearing my hair out!

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 05:27:57 -0500

Hi guys, great forum I wish I had found this ages ago!!

I have a little problem with the way a layout table is being displayed and want to know why!! The code is as below

CODE

<TABLE ALIGN="CENTER" WIDTH="750" BORDER=0 CELLPADDING=0 CELLSPACING=0>
<tr>
<td height="18" bgcolor="#0000FF">
        <p align="center"><font color="#FFFFFF" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">This
        entire site and all of its content is subject to copyright. E&OE</font></p></td>
</tr>
        <tr>
       <td> <a href="http://www.sapsuk.com/contact.htm"> <img src="http://sapsuk.com/telephone.gif" width="750" height="101" border="0" alt="telephone number 0844 884 5956"></a> </td>
     </tr>
       <tr>
       <td height="32" bgcolor="#0000FF"><p align="center"> <font color="#FFFFFF" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Calls
        to this number are charged at 5p per minute at all times from a BT land
        line. </font></p>
      <p align="center"><font color="#0000FF" size="-7">0844 884 5956</font></p>
  </td></tr>
</TABLE>

Now in deamweavers wysiwyg view it looks exactly how I want it to, as it does in w3schools tryit editor - example below

but in Firefox and IE it looks like this (with extra space between the layout cells - causing the table to be higher than I want).

I have tried so many ways to get it to look right!

Any suggestions for me to try?

Embedded Flash Issue in Some Browsers

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 10:11:22 -0500

You may have seen this question before, but I cannot for the life of me find an answer that works.

I embedded a .swf flash file on a page on my website. This flash plays perfectly on IE and Chrome, but nothing shows up on Safari or Firefox.

I, at first, wrote the code by hand. Then I instead used swfobject to properly write the code (this still hasn't fixed the problem)

I used the w3 markup validation site to check the code, and it comes back with 0 errors.

Any Ideas?

The code is below:

(I inserted a space in the classid= tag to do away with the : D turning into a smiley)

Thanks for your help.

The Wrong E-mail

A man left the snow-filled streets of Chicago for a vacation in Florida. His wife was on a business trip and was planning to meet him there the next day. When he reached his hotel, he decided to send his wife a quick e-mail.

Unable to find the scrap of paper on which he had written her e-mail address, he did his best to type it in from memory. Unfortunately, he missed one letter and his note was directed instead to an elderly preacher's wife, whose husband had passed away only the day before. When the grieving widow checked her e-mail, she took one look at the monitor, let out a piercing scream, and fell to the floor in a dead faint. Hearing the scream, her family rushed into the room and saw this note on the screen:

"Dearest Wife,

Just got checked in. Everything prepared for your arrival tomorrow.

Menu bar appears different in Firefox and IE

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 18:49:20 -0500

Hello!

I have minimal experience in web/blog design, so I used a template for my site. The problem is the change in the menu bar from being viewed in Internet Explorer and Firefox. (Viewed in IE it looks great but it looks wrong in Firefox.)

Is there anything that you can recommend to remedy this problem? If so, I need specific code or instructions.

Thank you for any help you can provide.

Display entities as unicode

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 12:26:31 -0500

I have a very simple Javascript that takes a character "X" and concatenates "& #x1234;" after it (this is only an example).
I then want to display "X& #x1234;" in a box and "Xz", where "z" is the translated entity in the second box. How do I do it.

inputChar = inputString.charAt(i);
outputChar1 = inputChar.concat("& #x1234;");
I now need the step to place results into outputChar2

NOTE: space has been added after the & to keep the translation from happening here.

HTML Code Box

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 23:55:42 -0500

Hi everybody! I am attempting to create a HTML Tutorial site, and I have hit a road block.

I would like to show code in a box, but not a textbox where the viewer can change it. You can see an example at http://www.w3schools.com/html/default.asp

I don't need anything fancy, just a simple way to display HTML code.

Countdown to Friday

Mon, 02 Nov 2009 11:56:05 -0500

Having a bad week? Cheer up. Friday is almost here.

www.Countdown2Friday.com - Your official countdown clock to Friday.

I would, especially, like to know if the page loads properly in other browsers. The only ones I have tested are Firefox and Safari.

Also, if anyone knows, I was wondering what the function was to turn off an embedded music file that is playing in the background, so that a user can click a button and turn off the audio if he/she wanted to.

Thanks in advance.

side bar not staying with-in set size

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 20:14:59 -0500

So heres the issue.
I have a navigation bar on the left that should be no wider than needed. Just enough for it's contents, and no more.
To the right of that should be the content box which should stretch to fill the browser window.
This works as it should on most of the pages, but this is due to the content pushing the break between the navigation to the left.

But there are two pages that are just simple lists and are not that wide of content, and on these pages the space that the navigation box takes up is wider than it should be, which then off-sets all of the alignment in the content box.

One of the pages that shows this is
http://www.daisyducks.org/index.php?pg=members

That list of positions and names is aligned to the left. I would like them to be right up next to the navigation bar like the rest of the site, but they are unable to because the navigation cell is stretching more than it should.
I'm using simple php to separate the site into blocks (header, navigation, content, footer)

Here is the html of the navbar block, CSS for that block included

CODE

Here is the code of the over-all page minus the PHP.
There are HTML comments where the nav bar, contents, etc go.

CODE

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title>Oregon Daisy Ducks</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<link href="css/index.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
</head>
<body>
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%">

<tr>

    <td class="body">


    </td>
</tr>

</table>
</body>
</html>

I have have just plain text in the content box, but as long as it doesn't completely span the content box and forces it to stretch, the navigation bar will have that bit of over-flow.

Another good example is the error page, though it's not noticeable unless you have a tool that will highlight the various blocks of a page
http://www.daisyducks.org/index.php?pg=pfsdfs

I've put width settings on every part of this that I can think would apply to this, and no matter what it doesn't size down.

Anyone got help?

Any way to make tables COMPLETELY borderless?

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 21:06:20 -0500

my webpage is here.

I want to make the hands touch the actual edges of the browser window.

Also, the 85% for table height is an indefinite figure, how can I make it so the table covers 100% of the viewable area & not 85% of the screen?

here's the table code:

Thanks in advance for any advice

ASP Form Mailto

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 16:35:42 -0500

I have a quote request form that is on these viewitem pages...

http://www.aspenequipment.com/catalog/stor...p?idProduct=224

If you click on "Request a Quote" you will be taken to the bottom of the page where a quote request is. This is partially auto filled with that particular item's information.

My problem is that when you click "Submit Quote Request", you get a blank page and nothing get's sent through. It's been half an hour since I tested it. Here is the code for the form action. What I would really like this to do (and it may not be possible) is for it to process the email, and as soon as that has been processed let them know that the email was sent and then redirect them to the previous page after 3? 5? seconds. Some time frame. At the very least let them know that the email has been sent. Thanks in advance.

CODE

<%
    if Request.Querystring("isSubmitted") = "yes" then
        Dim name, email, phone, idesc, unitnum, comments
        Dim objCDO

        name = Request.Querystring("name")
        email = Request.Querystring("email")
        phone = Request.Querystring("phone")
        idesc = Request.Querystring("itemdescription")
        unitnum = Request.Querystring("unitnumber")
        comments = Request.Querystring("comments")

        Set objCDO = Server.CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail")

        objCDO.From = "corinth@enfused.com" 'That's me :)
        objCDO.To = "equipment@aspeneq.com"
        objCDO.Cc = "tfoster@aspeneq.com, marketing@aspeneq.com"
        objCDO.Subject = "Online Equipment Quote Request"
        objCDO.Body = "Name: " & name &_
        "Email: " & email &_
        "Phone: " & phone &_
        "Description: " & idesc &_
        "Unit number: " & unitnum &_
        "Comments: " & comments

        objCDO.BodyFormat = 1
        objCDO.MailFormat = 1

        objCDO.Send

        ConfirmMsg = "Your request was submitted."

    end if

Need help with a form

Sun, 15 Nov 2009 23:37:13 -0500

Hello all,
Could anyone tell me if there is a way to have the submit function on a form reference one of the text fields in the form? Basically, I'm wanting to create an online invoice form so that I fill in the customer's information (name, address, phone, e-mail, billed time, etc), then click on the submit button and have the data entered e-mailed both to me and the e-mail address I just entered in the form. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks and have a great day.

Help with removal of code

Sun, 15 Nov 2009 14:16:41 -0500

hey yall,

so i used a wysiwyg editor (iweb09) for making this site (i know... but im not too good at coding) and i inserted in a w3 validator at the bottom of my homepage. i then published the site and externally added in my meta tags etc because iweb doesn't support that feature.

i now want to remove the validator because for some reason its not showing up on the bottom of my page and has started showing errors since i done the metal tags. i can remove it in iweb but if i do that when i export the site from iweb i will have to re-do all my meta tags etc which took me a long time to try and do.

i tried searching through the code but i just can't seem to find where the validator code. if you look at my actual site it is there (with no logo) and the link works (at the bottom of the page)

can someone have a look at the code below and my site here: my website and see if you are able to find the code? i just can't seem to be able to locate it

it seems to be located in a file called widget0_markup.html and i edited that file removing the code and its still on my page

:-(
