Has anyone found a good class, or other file that will convert a .doc file into html or something that I can read and turn into html? I have been looking around for a couple hours now and have only found ones that require msword on the server in order to convert the file. I am pretty sure that is not an option but I have not actually t...
I'm looking at all the CSS Drop shadow tutorials, which are great. Unfortunately, I need to put a shadow on three sides of a block element (left, bottom, right). All the tutorials talk about shifting your block element up and to the left. Anyone have insights into putting a shadow on three or even four sides? ...
I have a flash app in my page, and when a user interacts with the flash app, the browser/html/javascript stops receiving keyboard input. For example, in Firefox control-t no longer opens a new tab. However, if I click on part of the page that isn't flash, the browser starts receiving these events again. Is there anyway to programati...
I have a simple HTML upload form, and I want to specify a default extension ("*.drp" for example). I've read that the way to do this is through the ACCEPT attribute of the input tag, but I don't know how exactly. <form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="uploader.php" method="POST"> Upload DRP File: <input name="Upload Saved Replay" t...
I need an easy way to allow users to upload multiple files at once (ie I need to allow a user to upload a folder). I do not wish to put the burden of zipping on the user. I would prefer to avoid Flash or variants if possible. I'm looking for a straight javascript / HTML solution if it is possible. Please note, this rules out the an...
I previously asked how to do this in Groovy. However, now I'm rewriting my app in Perl because of all the CPAN libraries. If the page contained these links: <a href="http://www.google.com">Google</a> <a href="http://www.apple.com">Apple</a> The output would be: Google, http://www.google.com Apple, http://www.ap...
When a web site is licensed under Creative Commons, I use the rel-license microformat. When a web site is licensed under regular copyright, I have a boring paragraph element. <p id="copyright">© 2008 Example Corporation</p> That id attribute on there is just for CSS styling purposes. I'm wondering if there's some better way to ma...
Can I somehow disable spell-checking on HTML textfields (as seen in e.g. Safari)? ...
Hi there, I'm trying to figure out how to restrict access to a page unless the page is navigated to from a specific "gate" page. Essentially I want the page to be unaccessible unless you're coming from the page that comes before it in my sitemap. I'm not certain this is even possible. If possible, can you limit your suggestions to using...
I'm helping out a friend with a non-profit site that publishes articles in issues each month. They are mostly straightforward, and I think using a markdown editor (like the wmd one here in SO) would be perfect. However, they do need the ability to have images right-aligned in a given paragraph. I can't see any way to do that with the cur...
I'm trying to make a page in php that takes rows from a database, displays them, and then give the viewer a chance to upvote or downvote a specific entry. Here is a snippet: echo("<form action=\"vote.php\" method=\"post\"> \n"); echo("<INPUT type=\"hidden\" name=\"idnum\" value=\"".$row[0]."\">"); echo("<INPUT type=\"submit\" name=\"up\...
I would like to create an HTML table with row colors changing based on position and content. But instead of alternating every row, I'd like to be able to group rows together, so that I can have some XML like this: <itemlist> <item group="0">Conent...blah blah</item> <item group="0">Content...who cares</item> <item group="1">Co...
As the title describes, what are the different doctypes available and what do they mean? I notice that the layout looks a little different in IE7 when I switch from <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN" > to <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1...
I got an HTML with the <body onload="window.print()">. The question I'm trying to ask is: Is there any way to remove the strings that the web browsers add to the printed page? Such as: Web site from where the page was printed Page count Title of the web page Date of printing ...
How do you create non scrolling div that looks like the MS Office 2007 ribbon on a web page without two sets of scroll bars. One for the window and one for the div. ...
I am writing a footer div that displays info from the database. The footer has a different background color than the rest of the page, and will have a height that depends on how much content the database throws to it. When I generate the content with php and call for a border around the footer div, the content appears and is, let's say...
It seems that HTML 5 is going to be supported (partially) by Firefox 3.1 and other browsers. It is adding support for video and audio as tags, but these are new tags that XHTML 1.0 Transitional does not recognize. What is the behavior supposed to be if I use a new HTML 5 tag in a future version of Firefox but use the DTD for XHTML? And w...
I'm looking for a really generic way to "fill out" a form based on a parameter string using javascript. for example, if i have this form: <form id="someform"> <select name="option1"> <option value="1">1</option> <option value="2">2</option> </select> <select name="option2"> <option value="1">1</option> <option val...
