Hi, I am setting up a website for a small busines. The web host that they are using does not have smtp running on their particular server, instead they referred us to a different server to us for smtp. I just want to create a few simple mailto links. Is there a way to specify a smtp server, without having to write a full blown asp...

How do you use a LABEL tag within a two dimensional table? In the examples I've seen for this element, only extremely simple situations are shown, e.g., <LABEL FOR="wgt">Weight:</LABEL><INPUT TYPE="TEXT" ID="wgt"> But what if you have ... <TABLE> <TR> <TH>WEIGHT</TH> <TH>HEIGHT</TH> </TR>

I am reviewing a set of pages, some of which include in-line mathematical formulas represented as images. I am addressing the accessibility issues behind those images. (Conformance to Section 508 of the applicable US government regulations is required.) Ick--at least, I suppose, until MathML is generally supported. One approach would be to...

Hello, Why are there sometimes tags written like this: <br /> instead of the normal: <br>

I am a novice in HTML. I just downloaded Apache server on my Windows 2000 desktop. It is running properly. I need to write a form in HTML which will save the input data enterd by the user in a plain text file at the server side. Example: 1) My form will have two fields: i) Name: myName ii) Age: 33

I have quite often (as have probably many of you) come across HTML forms with irritating bits of Javascript attached. The last straw on this particular camel's back was a large form I was asked to complete in connection with attendance at a seminar. After spending more than 15 minutes on it, I clicked on the submit button - and nothing...

Is there a list of well designed web sites anywhere? Or could you please list some that you think are well designed? Thanks!

I have an HTML form with a pre-built table containing "standard" column headings (for example, First Name, Last Name, SSN, Hours, etc.). I want a user to be able to enter values into the form and then submit it. The data will be emailed to an administrator who will then print the month's report. I also plan to extract the data and store it in...

Hi, this is not strictly about HTML per se, but rather about its practical usage. I would like to write some articles (similar in structure to LaTeX article) with XHTML (Amaya?), but I am not sure how to operate with bibliographies. Certainly that I have all my references in BibTeX database. Is there any reasonable way how to emulate result...

I have some CGI programs that spit out error pages when the user enters illegal form input. These custom error pages, while informing the user of errors, are otherwise just standard web pages. Is there a disadvantage to not spitting out a 404 error? I assume 404 isn't just another webpage, but carries with it the information that an error...

Can you put commands in an HTML page so that when it opens it will be in the center of the screen, and possibly even turn off some of the menu bars? Want to create an file on a CD I am publishing and would like to have it start up in the center of the screen with the index.htm file on the CD.

I wanted to show an MPEG-4 video file on a web page. I'm talking about a real iso-compliant file (with the .mp4 extension.) I've been searching on how to use mime-types but it turns out that you need to place a realvideo or quicktime file that links to the mpeg-4 file. But that's not what I want. MPEG-4 is supposed to be the standard format...

Anyone using this for HTML pages? Or to convert HTML to XML? If so, how do you like it?

Are files referenced in LONGDESC attributes supposed to be pure text; can or should they have either block or inline HTML tags; can or should they be set up as a fully W3C compliant web page (with DOCTYPE, <html>, <body>, etc.)? -- Harlan Messinger Remove the first dot from my e-mail address.
