Programming & Design - May 2007

Hi, I'm trying to create a dropdown selector for a web page in HTML that I'd like to

1) Prompt the user for what it's looking for
2) NOT have the prompt be part of the options list.

Typically, this is accomplished using code like this:


What vehicle do you drive
Chevrolet
Ford
Lexus


If this code is used, it produces a dropdown box that prompts the user for "Which vehicle do you drive?" and the user can select. My issue with this method is that the user can select "Which vehicle do you drive?" as an option.

Is there any way to prompt the user for their input in a dropdown (select) box WITHOUT the prompt being part of the options?

Thanks!

Hi, I'm in a middle of a riddle, i want to filter the content of a range of cells from the right and from the left, lets say for instance: http://www.myspace.com/mysite.asp and I only want myspace.com to stay alone.

The left part is easy cause its always the same "http://www." which is 11 characters so mid(a2,12,40) will always work.

But i don't know how to deal with the right part cause that part varies from a site to another, and I'm not sure if its possible to find a character like this "/" in myspace"/"mysite.asp, and stop counting.

Please help me out here, I'm out of options.

In a simple number guessing game, the user tries to guess a number between 1 and 10. If they guess the correct number, they win. If they don't, the program tells them whether their guess was too high or too low. The user has five tries to guess the correct number.

I have figured out the problem.

The lines I am using are all using heading tabs from a CSS. Each heading has margins set- those margins are causing the extra spacing that I don't want for this particular paragraph.

I don't know hot to keep all of the formating from the Heading settings while getting rid of the margin settings. I can't change the heading settings because those headings are used elsewhere (wher eI want the margins).

So how do I remove the margins from one paragraph that are set in CSS?

I would just simply put the text in bold, and change the font size to get the similar look and just don't use the CSS for that paragraph but I dont have any idea what the formatting is (the formatting is blank under the CSS edit pallette except for the margins).

HELP!!!!!!!!

I consider javascript the devil. I am trying to create a horizontal toolbar. It shows in Safari but will not display in Firefox, Explorer, or Netscape. I have never had this problem before. I might have to say to hell with it and go the old-fashioned route but I wanted to have unique rollovers rather than the cookie-cutter type. Any help would be appreciated. Here is some sample code and I am going to try to post the script in additional details:

Please no CSS!!!!

I want 4 lines in my paragraph to be spaced out differently. I have tried style="line-height" but it changes the spacing on the top and bottom equally and spreads out the paragraph too far. Is there another way to put spacing between SPECIFIC lines - not all?

Please give me exact code...

I've created a website for a friend's business. I have it set up in a 3 frame format. I've submitted it to the major search engines but they are not indexing the site. I'm told that because of the frames, the crawlers can't or won't index it. How can I fix this without busting the framework?

I have a bulleted list in my html code that is squished too tightly. I want to add a small amount of space between the line but not as much as a line a paragraph

and the use of
is inappropriate.

I have found the tag but I haven't found it to do anything, so please direct me EXACTLY how to use it! Thank you Thank you!

I want to insert something into the message body, in addition to the subject. I know the subject is "sample@email.com?subject=From Website" but I want to go further and add a sample message in the message body that reads something like, "I would like to register for this event." Please provide a complete sample email link that provides both a customized subject and message body. Thanks!

This tag contains too many keywords.
This tag contains 50 keywords. This is too many for what we would consider a 'robot friendly' web page. The maximum number of keywords we recommend for this tag is 20.

What does this mean ?
