  1. Codename Thanks for the link to the W3 site.
  2. In a W3S example - which I cannot find - created an array in the head. In no other example have I seen the author write a script in the head. Seemed inconsistent. Cheers
  3. Hello I am trying to understand the difference between using a <script> in the <head> of the document and the <body>: say to declare an array and its contents. Is there any information on the subject, please? Regards
  4. Hello I am using <select> in my document and I see that some of the W3 examples use <form> and some do not. I appreciate that <form> would be used to submit a result (say) to the server, but do I need to use it if my drop-down menu returns values to be used only within the document or function?
  5. Hello I was recently directed to a tutorial by a member showing me how to change the contents of a drop-down menu based on the selection of a separate drop-down menu. No matter how far I search, I am unable to find the example again and I have lost the original thread. Would someone please redirect me back to the example. Regards
  6. I am new to HTML programming having "cut my teeth" on a card-reading IBM in 1974 and then using Unix on a VAX 11/780 in the 1980's with my preferred programming language being ASM, PASCAL and FORTRAN. To get a programming language for a PC always cost loadsa-money and, over the years, I settled on using Excel for all my programming needs. Frustrating but at least I had VB. I always considered the 4-th generation of programming languages to be an easy cop-out from the real programming. How wrong I was. I am so impressed by HTML and more importantly, the community that uses the web; the tutorials, forums, the abilities of the participants and the quality of the software and interpreters offered free. Many thanks to the members of W3S and the community.
  7. Hello I have created a form that I need to send to the printer. My form has two areas (please see attached screen-shot) and I only wish to print the white area. I have found a tutorial on media but I am unclear how to select just the page. I also wish to print the page as .rtf and .pdf Regards
  8. Thanks for the advice. I tried the array for options but used () and not [ ]. . Thanks again.
  9. Hello I am trying to dynamically alter the contents of a drop-down menu. For example: <select id="contents><option>item 1</option><option>item 2</option><option>item 3</option></select> I want to change the value of each of the options from within a script. I am assuming I will use something like document.getElementById("contents").innerHTML=x, where x is a line of text; but I do not how to access the contents of each <option> Am I on the right track, please? Regards
  10. Hello Does anyone know the difference between openssl and no_ssl in the apache server download please?
  11. I think I may answered my question. I have just read the "install PHP" tutorial.
  12. Hello I want to write some php code that writes to a form but I need a server to test the code. How do I set up a server, please? I have a good second-computer that I could use as a server or should I use an internal software-server?..

    Is php a server side language, please? I need to use some complex mathematics attached to the form. I am using wordpress.

    Thanks for the attention I am producing a form that users will fill in and then will save or print in pdf format. I need to perform calculations in javascript which will return results into the form. If javascript is disabled, I suppose the form will not work?

    If I produced my whole page using javascript, would this be a problem for users, please?

    Select

    Dear all I want to be able to select an item from a number of items from a drop down menu. I have created a named menu using select and option and all is working fine. However, I wish to format the selection box. I would like to remove the "drop-down" arrow in the field and I would prefer the drop-down list to appear when I hover over the selection. I would also like to keep the options for the drop-down list in an external file and reference it. Would anyone point me towards a tutorial showing me how to do this. Many thanks.
