HTML helping

niN · Post by **niN** » 16 Nov 2006, 16:20

Ok, if anyone need help with some HTML, PHP, Java etc codes post here. Didn't know if this topic already exist (I searched a bit and didn't find anything), and I don't know if it should've been in the Testing forum.

I need help with finding a good HTML-program (like notepad only with a bit better layout). I don't want that many advanced options, only like notepad but with easier commands to find things (different colours etc). Anyone know where I can get this?

A couple of alternatives you could try:
Notepad++
jEdit

You could also try TextPad

Thanks all =) Tried all of them and found what I wanted! Cheers!

Ok I need help again. Does anyone know how to make a text run along the side of a picture? example

The_BoneLESS · Post by **The_BoneLESS** » 17 Nov 2006, 22:51

Well, you can always make a table with 2 columns

exemple :

Code: Select all

<html>
<head> </head>

<body>

<table>
<tr>
<td> Blablabla Blabla blablaBlablabla Blabla blabla Blablabla Blabla blablav Blablabla Blabla blablaBlablabla Blabla blablaBlablabla Blabla blablaBlablabla Blabla blablaBlablabla Blabla blabla Blablabla Blabla blabla Blablabla Blabla blabla  Blablabla Blabla blablaBlablabla Blabla blabla Blablabla Blabla blabla  Blablabla Blabla blablaBlablabla Blabla blabla lablabla Blabla blabla Blablabla Blabla blabla Blablabla Blabla blabla  v  Blablabla Blabla blabla v Blablabla Blabla blabla  Blablabla Blabla blablaBlablabla Blabla blabla Blablabla
</td>

<td> <img src="http://www-rcf.usc.edu/~krylov/Gallery/Seattle0701/Trip/TN_TN_Image-16.JPG">
</td>
</tr>
</table>

</body>
</html>

Result

Sorry for all the blabla

niN · Post by **niN** » 17 Nov 2006, 23:13

Yeah I knew this, and thanks =)
But I think there is an easier way like adding something to the img tag. like
img src="blabla.gif" column="left" (just improvising)

teajay · Post by **teajay** » 18 Nov 2006, 02:07

http://www.w3schools.com for all your questions about html. There are actually many ways to do that what you want, but I think you can do like align="left".

skint0r · Post by **skint0r** » 18 Nov 2006, 03:20

CSS is your friend.

Code: Select all

<img src="x.jpg" alt="" style="float: right;" />text here

niN · Post by **niN** » 18 Nov 2006, 11:22

I tried that skint but no success. Am I supose to put something in the style.css file? Someone said that's how to do it a couple of days ago but I don't know what to put there.

skint0r · Post by **skint0r** » 18 Nov 2006, 16:53

Well then you must have done something wrong, if you copy that directly it will work. There is no css file (though of course you can use that too instead of inline styles) or anything else to do. You just save that as a html file and change the picture link.

I had some problem in the past with HTML I didn't solve. I don't really do much in HTML I might be n00b.
I wanted to have table were first row is fixed, that means it doesn't scroll together with the rest of the rows. The only way I managed to do that is by having 2 tables with fixed column widths and 1st one has that first row adn the rest is in 2nd table. Only problem is that the cells in rows might be too wide and then there is another horizontal scrollbar and those tables don't scroll together (of course).
Anyone knows how to solve it with only HTML stuff? (no activex and stuff)

Scrolls in tables..? Not really understood the problem.

Abula wrote:Scrolls in tables..? Not really understood the problem.

you have tables with not fixed column widths (some new might be ented after something and it might exceed) and there are many rows in it so there is scrollbar. I want to scroll rows and the first row with column names should be visible always. How to do it?

I've spent some time with it and did the javascript object that supports any number of fixed rows/columns with scrollbars (if are necessary), with sorting, blaaah, thos widths/heights of columns/rows are automatically synchronized when new lines are added, it suports any pictures/editboxes/whatever in it and so on.. ez as pie;)
thanks for help anyway

edit: I checked the solution there, it kinda sux when the width of the table too large when you need vertical scrollbar and nat work in Opera and IE (works in FF and NN)

No real problem here but, i'm starting to learn XML and i wanted to know if this line is crucial in the writing of an XML file...

Code: Select all

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1 ?>

is the encoding important? will the file not work properly if i don't write this line?

thanx for help!

niN · Post by **niN** » 14 Jan 2007, 20:22

Sorry I don't know but I have a question:

When I make some rowspans and do one td on one side and like 5 td:s on the other side I can't get the td.s to keep close to each other. They expand if I write some text in the first td.

I know you don't get a thing that's why I decided to show you

EDIT: How do I make the td:s to the left to keep close to each other even if I write alot of text in the box to the right?

zworqy · Post by **zworqy** » 14 Jan 2007, 21:38

Create en extra cell in the bottom left. (add one row and increase the rowspan bulle with 1)

Then just experiment wiht the height of the new cell.

I need some help with some codes for a site which I'm working on. Here's what you need to know:

* You need to fully understand and be able to write PHP.
* You need to know how to make/ use databases (phpMySQL?).

Please contact me via pm if you feel like helping a fella in need. The thing I need help with wont take more than a couple of hours (I think), and you don't have to do it all at once.

EDIT: Got it fixed =)

niN · Post by **niN** » 8 May 2007, 20:46

Yet again I need some help:

Can anyone tell me how to show three rows (not in any specific order, just three [not random] rows) from a table in another document? ie:

The whole table
Name------------ Size
Elma------------- 45MB
Lilla nyckeln----- 27MB
Dumdum--------- 13MB
Coca Cola-------- 27KB
Elma------------- 45MB
Lilla nyckeln----- 27MB
Dumdum--------- 13MB
Coca Cola-------- 27KB

The document in which I want three rows:
Name------------ Size
Dumdum--------- 13MB
Coca Cola-------- 27KB
Elma------------- 45MB

Sorry if you didn't get it

The_BoneLESS · Post by **The_BoneLESS** » 8 May 2007, 21:35

is your table filled from a database or manually ?

cause if you want to show 3 rows and you filled the table manually, just erase the other rows.

niN · Post by **niN** » 9 May 2007, 16:30

hehe, I wish it was that simple, but It's used for a users personal page and if I'd have to erase the rest I'd end up making and updating 100 tables / day.

And the table is not in a database.

skint0r · Post by **skint0r** » 10 May 2007, 19:04

Hard to really understand how you want this done, javascript or php or what? Not really sure how or where this is saved or how the hell you've got it setup.

niN · Post by **niN** » 10 May 2007, 19:19

Hm, well. The best thing would be if someone could give me a php code of it. Here's what I want:

Lets say there's a site hosting songs. They've got a list[no.1] of all their songs and they also want a list of the top ten songs. They then need to take the songs with most hits from their list[no.1] and put them in another table.

That's what I want to do basically. I want to be able to show three lines from a kinglist (table). The lines should be shown on a users personal page as his statistics.

The_BoneLESS · Post by **The_BoneLESS** » 10 May 2007, 19:26

First question :

Are your datas (songs) stored somewhere (xml file, database, textfile) ? cause it would make everything much easier...

skint0r · Post by **skint0r** » 10 May 2007, 19:32

Still too vague info to really understand what exactly you need done, some more concrete info would help.

The_BoneLESS wrote:First question :

Yes this is the text file in which I store the kinglist:

1./SWE/Rapptor/RAR/390 pts/00:00,00/
2./SWE/anhe88/RAR/125 pts/00:00,00/

I then use php to make it look like a table.

skint0r wrote: Still too vague info to really understand what exactly you need done, some more concrete info would help.

Well, Lets say theres a row (we call the row "skint") in a table. This row contains your info (points, tts, position etc). This row is originally in the kinglist located in levels.php. I want this row (skint) to be located in another page (lets say skint.php). How can i include that row (no other row from the kinglist) in skint.php?

If you don't understand then please tell me what you don't understand and if I might do something to make it easier to understand. Thanks

niN · Post by **niN** » 10 May 2007, 20:43

http://up.k10x.net/xmpqmknryjukb/1.JPG
This is the kinglist

Now what I want is to get one row from that list above and include that one in another document.

skint0r · Post by **skint0r** » 10 May 2007, 21:37

Ok I'm still not a 100% of what you want, but given the file named kinglist.txt and you want the line containing the nick anhe88, you could do this (not sure if it's the best way, but it should be fast and simple enough):

Code: Select all

<?php
$file = @fopen("kinglist.txt", "r");
if ($file) {
	while (!feof($file)) {
	        $buffer = fgets($file);
		if(strpos($buffer, 'anhe88')) {
			echo("$buffer");
		}
	}
	fclose($file);
}
?>

niN · Post by **niN** » 11 May 2007, 05:41

Thanks alot skint0r, I'll give it a try when I get home again

EDIT: It worked skint, max thanks!

skint0r · Post by **skint0r** » 11 May 2007, 07:06

Though now that I think about it, it might be a bad way to do it. It only checks if a string is in a line, meaning that if there's two people whose nicks are 'mango' and 'mangobango', and you search for mango, it will show both lines.

If you're going to be converting that line into a table of some sorts anyway, the better option would probably be to use preg_match instead of strpos. That way you can not only search for the line, but also divide the line up into variables containing the information at the same time. Of course, even better would be to use a real database instead of this weird file system

Well I can give example of preg_match if you need it, just say teh word.

niN · Post by **niN** » 11 May 2007, 14:39

I'd love that skint0r (the example). If you want to get more engaged (I need all the help I can get) please pm me and I'll give you examples urls, codes etc. Though I know you're busy nowadays so I doubt you'll do that.

Thanks =)

skint0r · Post by **skint0r** » 11 May 2007, 15:10

Again, probably not the best way to do it, but it's one possibility at least.

Code: Select all

<?php
$nick = anhe88;
$file = @fopen("kinglist.txt", "r");
if ($file) {
	while (!feof($file)) {
		$buffer = fgets($file);
		$regex = "/(.+)\/(.+)\/($nick)\/(.+)\/(.+)\/(.+)\//";
		if (preg_match($regex, $buffer, $info)) {
			$pos = $info[1];
			$nat = $info[2];
			$team = $info[4];
			$pts = $info[5];
			$tt = $info[6];
		}
	}
	fclose($file);
}

echo("$pos $nat $nick $team $pts $tt");
?>

The_BoneLESS · Post by **The_BoneLESS** » 11 May 2007, 19:45

yep, skint's second example is better...

and again, putting your datas in a database would make it so much more simple!

niN · Post by **niN** » 11 May 2007, 20:13
