I have a video in WMV format which I want to post on a website. I have never done this before and don't know the best way to do it. If anyone can help, I would greatly appreciate it. 1. What is the best format(s) to post in terms of quality, accessibility, and size? 2. Can anyone recommend a program, preferably free, to convert to these...

Hi I can include images, java code, fill a frame, etc. in a document using src= to a url and/or bookmark. How can I do the same for a piece of tagged text? I came on this when I tried to repeat a small navigation table at intervals in a document without using frames. In the end I copied and pasted it. I suppose I'm looking for something like...

So I have a file, which is a zip file I want to let people download. But I don't want to let other sites link to my zip file -- I only want people to be able to download the file by going through my site. I know there are ways to prevent a file from being linked to if it's a php page, but this isn't a php page, it's a zip file. Any help...

I'll do this with a table if need be, but can I do it without? I have a heading tag containg an image on the left with text to the right at absolute middle of the image. There is space underneath the text to put a small graphic aligned with the bottom of the first graphic, like this: +-------+ | | | |

Related subjects have been discussed at length on these forums, I'm hoping for a quick and dirty, one-time solution to my specific problem: Have created a web site that I want to distribute on Windows-created CDs. Just HTML and referenced files, e.g. images, no executable. Users can BYOB (bring your own browser). Limited testing is fine on...

I would like to have my website translated in several languages and take advantage of language negotiation to let the user choose its preferred version of the site. I read with most interest the invaluable informations on http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/, http://ppewww.ph.gla.ac.uk/~flavell/www and http://webtips.dan.info/, but I still have...

Can someone confirm for me if you can use SSI tags in an htaccess file?

This is a serious question - but probably one that has been asked many times before. Go to http://wehner.org It has FRAMES. Select ADDISON. The main page (to the right of the buttons) shows it. In ADDISON, select WHATIS. The main page switches to WHATIS.

Hi, Can anyone help me to get this third party code to validate as 4.01 strict. <form action="http://**********.org.uk/draw/draw_data.php" method="post" target="PageName" onsubmit="window.open ('about:blank','PageName','directories=0,height=600,width=815,location= 0,menubar=0,resizable=1,scrollbars=1,status=1,toolbar=0')"> <img...

Hello all: I'm trying to make an EPS file available for download on the Web. I've got the proper instructions posted for right-clicking, etc. for IE and Netscape, Windows and Mac. The problem I'm running into is that when you right-click the link and select "Save Target As. . ." in IE, the file shows up in the "Save As" window as a PS...

About once a week, I post an FAQ pointer in this newsgroup under the same heading as this post. That pointer has two purposes: 1. To keep regulars from having to post the standard answers to standard questions again and again; if you have a standard question, you might save yourself some time by first reading the available material for this...

I don't reallly understand charsets, but I see that you are supposed to declare one. I am putting a paper up in HTML. It uses some special characters, like umlauts and diacriticals. The biggest problem I've had with it is creating characters with lines over them (macrons), as is done to indicate a long vowel sound, for example. There is no way...

I have a page that's being dynamically generated. It has 2 parts, which I want to display on top of each other (not overlapping, but one after the other). I won't know the height of the 1st part until run time. Now, to compound the problem, each part has elements inside it that are absolute positioned inside its box. I have tried to...

One disadvantage of using a simple text editor to produce HTML is that it is relatively time-consuming to put in the proper typographical quotation marks and dashes. A round tuit having arrived on my desk, I've produced a couple of sed scripts to automatically convert the 'typewriter' equivalents: ...

The icons at the bottom of http://wallysanford.com are higher in Netscape Navigator 7.1 than in Internet Explorer 6. Last time this sort of thing happened increasing the font size in NN7 fixed it (for that session). This time it doesn't. Can anyone tell me why, or point me to a resource, or explain how to fix it? I see at...

How can I include a file using JavaScript? document.write('<!--#include file="myfile.htm" -->') won't work because of the commenting. Is there a way to fool JavaScript into including the file at the appropriate point? Currently I am calling iframes instead of using SSI. You can see why I'd want to switch.

Hello, An html authoring question: What is the correct syntax to write into a root directory "index file" (mainpage file) so it will point to a graphic file located in another directory? Right now, my graphic files are all in the root directory, and I want to store them in another directory, therefore, I will have to edit my index file...

I tried validating a page with nested <ul>'s and it's complaining. I haven't found any specific documentation in the standard that says you can't, but maybe it's there and I'm not seeing it. Otherwise, my page must have a syntax error somewhere I haven't yet found. I also thought of something that might work. Is it acceptable to make a...

W3C recommendations notwithstanding (see http://w3.org/TR/html401/appendix/notes.html#notes-tables) I can't seem to persuade either of the leading browsers to do true incremental table loading. Neither responds to COL/COLGROUP tags. I have a very large data table which is being generated in J/ECMA/JavaScript dynamically. I want to give the...
