Does anyone read this? RIGHT how do I change the colour of JUST ONE
LINK? No, I'm doing no work at all. Do I have to faff with CSS for
this? Oy vey... aidez moi!
― Sarah, Wednesday, 27 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link
Top of new answers, phew, please help! I've tried putting the link I
want to be a different colour as H2 {color: silver) but it doesn't
change anything - is this because it is a link and that overrides?!
This is my STYLE:
Sheesh!
― Sarah, Wednesday, 27 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link
Oh tits. I forgot about the TAGS:
[STYLE TYPE="text/css"]
[!---
BODY { font-family: serif }
a:link { text-decoration: none }
H2 {font-family: sans-serif; color: silver }
-->
[/STYLE]

You wanna define a different class for yr mail to link. Something
like:
a.mailtostyle {font-family: sans-serif; color: silver}
and then use it in yr link like this:
<a class="mailtostyle" href="mailto:starry@themoderninter.net">
mail me </a>

why not just:
<A HREF="http://www.google.com"><FONT COLOUR="#ff0000">red link</FONT></A>
(hope this works)

Oh aye, but I thought Sarah wanted to do it with stylesheets.
― RickyT, Thursday, 28 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link
Oh, I thought you could only DO it with style sheets! I thought I was
being rather complicated... ah well! Hopefully I'll have a vaguely
neu atommick brane latXoR. Does anyone also know how to make visited
links struck through? Can you just do that w/ stylesheets as well..?
― Sarah, Thursday, 28 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link
Yup. Try:
a:visited {text-decoration: line-through}
I'd just stick with colour changes though. Does it really matter if
links have already been clicked on?
― RickyT, Thursday, 28 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link
I've changed the colour AND the strikethrough. Go and have a look!
The AB has been haxx0red but... in a very CRAP WAY. In other words
some DIFFERENT COLOURS and boring stuff. God I'm dull.
― Sarah, Thursday, 28 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link
I like the strikethrough idea ("been there, done that") - ha ha I
must NEVER visit Freaky Trigger ever again!
― Jeff W, Thursday, 28 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link
ahh ok, stylesheets, i thought it was just for ILx, and stylesheets seemed a bit extravagant. if you're using stylesheets, save them as a separate CSS file (rather than as STYLE tags in the page), and include it's URL in the HEAD object, then you can change the look of the whole site at once, without having to change each page individually.
― michael, Thursday, 28 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link
This is pretty cool. (if it works)
― Sam, Thursday, 28 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link
Never mind then.

This is a
REALLY good Java Script Generator. No need to master it
yerself. Just ask and it will be given to you! Woohoo!― helenfordsdale, Sunday, 3 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link
Well bollox, I need to brush up my html skillzz.
This is it:

Try
this― helenfordsdale, Sunday, 3 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link
sam - only glanced at the source, but is probably not working because of line breaks - Javascript treats end of line characters as the end of the statement, whether or not it has reached the semi-colon. it would probably work with more careful cutting and pasting

I want to jump on the comments bandwagon! So I've tried to add
something. It vaguely works. But in the bit where you are supposed to
say 'hahaha sarah that was a really good and witty piece of writing
about cheese and jay-z there' it comes up with a bit of COMPUTER
LANGWIDGE wot you can delete... but why is it there?
Will someone go haf a look and
see if they can see why this may be?

I'm looking to design a form that'll allow people who acess my site
to write a message in the form and send it to me (i.e. a long
message/set of info) via e-mail.
Is this v. difficult? What do I need to know about forms? What are
CGI scripts and are they scary? Can anyone point me in the correct
direction?

Can someone give me advice on this quandary. Preferably I mean send
ma script:
I am designing a form which will allow users to input info and then
click a submit button which will then hopefully send off the
information inputted to me via e-mail. Now, I need a CGI Script to
do this sending bit I think. So where can I get a ready made CGI E-
Mail script? Do you have one you wouldn't mind me pilfering? Or are
there standard readily adaptable ones on the web?
Alang, please help.
― david h(0wie), Thursday, 18 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-one years ago) link
i'll find or write you one if you're still looking. a lot of the sample cgi scripts around have gaping security holes.
you can always use:
<FORM METHOD="post" ACTION="mailto:email@address.here">
which most browsers support instead of a CGI script

Could you please write me one? I can pay in Mini-discs or Tapes. E-

Bloody tables. I mean I am a grebt elite haxx0r and that with my BASIC to C book and I can do INCLUDE STDIO# and er INT(main and ALL THAT JAZZ but can I understand tables OH NO.
― Sarah (starry), Monday, 21 October 2002 15:17 (twenty-one years ago) link
star,
you're missing a closing " after your color on the "DEAR GOD wot on EARTH is going on" line
that may not be everything though. 8)

― Graham (graham), Monday, 21 October 2002 15:36 (twenty-one years ago) link
um, too must nesting star, you don't need half of those tables.
if you have a table containing only one tr containing only one td then it doesn't need to be a table.
if you have a table containing lots of trs each containing just one td then scrap that too and just separate the rows using p tags.

Thanks Andy - as this happened last night at night I just started again from scratch - when I have some time to sit and concentrate on it I might try and figure out how to better THE EVIL COMPUTER LANGWIDGE but as for now I will just be a bit crap. Chiz.

Let's say you want to post a photo, but you are unsure how large it will end up on the screen. What can you do to minimize the size?
― Sarah McLusky (coco), Wednesday, 12 February 2003 17:32 (twenty-one years ago) link
<img height=#ofpixels width=#ofpixels src="
http://shania.com/lovemeformymusic.jpg">
where #ofpixels = the dimensions of the image you'd like to resize. maintain a constant ratio in order to reduce distortion.
― gygax!, Wednesday, 12 February 2003 17:53 (twenty-one years ago) link
you can hand code the img tag and supply width=n and height=m attributes along with the src thing. make sure the width and height values are in the same ratio as the original image or it'll look stretched.
but this is bad practice - it means the entire image has to be downloaded (lots of data possibly) before the broswer resizes it (and browser image resizing isn't always that good, qualitywise). resizing it yourself and linking to new image is better.
(curse you gygax! 8)
