I am trying to get a webpage together for a project I am doing, but I am having some trouble.

I know some of you know what you are doing so HELP!!!

problems

1) I sucessfully re-directed my domain name to my page, but when you move your cursor over the links to other pages (other pages of mine) the bottom thingy on the browser doesn't say my paid for domain name, but the actual url of where my site is being hosted which includes my real name and I can't change it.

2) how do I get links to external sites to open in new windows?

3) why in the hell am I trying to do a webage when I don't know anything?!

thanks.

No fing clue what you're talking about, but wanted to say hello. Hope all is well with you..

I don't think I have any f'ing idea what I am talking about either ;)

I hope someone can figure it out.


since I have been gone (not long I know)

* a tree fell on my house during a storm
* I taught my old dog a new trick (he can roll over now.....when he wants to)
* I got appointed regional director of a charity support group

yeah, and I have this webpage that's pissing me off!

As far as the tree incident- I hope no one was hurt and you have insurance to cover the damage & cleanup.

Good news on the job and old dog front.

Good to see you & Take care of yourself- I gotta run.:D

1) I have the feeling you're using plain-old redirection. You need to get actual hosting, which involves messing with DNS and stuff. Your host provider is better suited to help you, depending on your plan a second domain may already be included.

2) <a href="blah.com" target="_blank">linky</a>

3) Masochism?

1) I don't know, but it shouldn't be too hard. May be javascript or just a note in the head somewhere. Very few pages change this so it may be hard to hunt down an example. I think most of the sites that do are software crack or backalley porn sites, so check them.

2) target = _blank or something like that, but the target needs to be _blank to open in a new window

3) Too much Mr Roger's Neighborhood

Sure, you'll talk to us when you need something... :p




When you hover over the links in your webpage it will show you (in the status bar below) exactly what you coded into those links - I assume your webpage is static.

Smunkee's back! Smunkee's back! :D Sorry, sweetie. No idea how to help your problem, I didn't even understand what you were talking about.

darn skippy! :D

holy cow! that makes sense to me! I think I can almost fix this!

Oh I forgot about that question. yep, he's right.

ok
1) I sucessfully re-directed my domain name to my page, but when you move your cursor over the links to other pages (other pages of mine) the bottom thingy on the browser doesn't say my paid for domain name, but the actual url of where my site is being hosted which includes my real name and I can't change it. The name displayed shoudl be in the header information. If it is displaying something different then your host is forcing that. Is it a free or very inexpensive host?

2) how do I get links to external sites to open in new windows?Here's a lino of code I did here: http://www.thescaremovie.com/contest.html
A href="/docs/get_into_the_scare.pdf" TARGET="_blank" REF="/get_into_the_scare.pdf"><u>rules</u></A><A REF="/get_into_the_scare.pdf" TARGET="_blank">.</A>

thanks.
ok

OMG Smunkee!

I would fluffle you, but I'm afraid of your husband. :)

darn skippy! :D

well then, nice to see you again :) - there was a thread a little while back about people we miss and your name came up a few times.


holy cow! that makes sense to me! I think I can almost fix this!

I sure hope that helps ya out.

As for your first question, I think I can help with that. First of all you're gonna have to mess around with some slightly ugly code

Example: http://www.angelfire.com/ga3/angelofdarkness/main/main.html

Check out your header as well as your status bar -- Is that what you're going for?

If so, then here's what I put in my header "<html>
<head>
<title>Rei_Hino-Draven</title>
<style>
body{scrollbar-face-color:darkgray; scrollbar-shadow-color:white; scrollbar-highlight-color:gray; scrollbar-:darkgray; scrollbar-track-color:lightgrey; scrollbar-arrow-color:black;};
A {text-decoration: none};
#other {position:relative; left:0px; top:0px;}
#tabl1 {border:7px solid #FFFFFF;}
</style>
<script>
function ssh() {
window.focus();
}
defaultStatus="Miss Rei"
</script></head>"

Also, if you want your links to do that, I'm pretty sure adding alt="blah blah blah" before closing the link will fix your problem.


And yes, that's a fairly old webpage. I spent about 2 years just switching out images and colors in the same code until I abandoned it.

Think this was what nailed it you are doing a page redirect rather then a dns lookup

(For example because of my port number having to be weird I do a redirect on some of my sub domains because it is easy to forward to a non standard port)

Also, if you want your links to do that, I'm pretty sure adding alt="blah blah blah" before closing the link will fix your problem.


explain this to me, I didn't catch it.... sorry. having a blonde day.

So you are replacing status of the on focus window to "Miss Rei"

Cool I used to redirect the status of the mouse over like that

<P><A onmouseover="window.status='Script';return true" onmouseout="window.status=' ';return true" target=_new href="BRIAN.txt">The Life of Brian
Script</A> - The Life of Brian Script (.txt)</P>

He was showing you the brute force way to do it … rather then getting your DNS working correctly you can force that bottom status bar on the browsers to show what you want
In his example


defaultStatus="Miss Rei"

Will show “Miss Rei” in the status bar all the time

Just replace Miss Rei with what you want it to say


In MY example I change that status bar ONLY when someone moves their mouse directly over a link

<P><A onmouseover="window.status='Script';return true" onmouseout="window.status=' ';return true" target=_new href="BRIAN.txt">The Life of Brian
Script</A> - The Life of Brian Script (.txt)</P>


In this case when the mouse is over this link (this code makes the link) that status bar changes to “script”

Replace script with what you want it to say
(btw my code is all in one line wordwrap just killed it)

Edit if you use my code as well the _new part spawns a new window just like you wanted

okay, you are doing what I was asking how to do, I am going to try that. I will be back if I can't make it work.

SHE!! lol For the millionth time, I am not male!

And yep, brute force is my style,lol. Way back when I used that site, I had a free flash.to URL that was covering up the mile-long shit from angelfire because my idiot peers were too lazy to memorize the URL for my character page. My popup blocker killed the rest, so I did what I could to cover up what was left of angelfire's mark on my site, aside from the tags and shit in my source code.

SHE!! lol For the millionth time, I am not male!

Link to a picture in your sig. That way they'll remember. Or you could do the boring thing and put the word "female" in there, but who wants to do that?

okay, you are doing what I was asking how to do, I am going to try that. I will be back if I can't make it work.
For an example of how it all works

http://www.upwardthrust.us/link.html (yes VERY old dont laugh)

SHE!! lol For the millionth time, I am not male!
Lol sorry I cant remember my own name some days I apologize

okay, it didn't do what I wanted it to... hmm....

is there any way to get the status thingy to say like nothing?

1) I sucessfully re-directed my domain name to my page, but when you move your cursor over the links to other pages (other pages of mine) the bottom thingy on the browser doesn't say my paid for domain name, but the actual url of where my site is being hosted which includes my real name and I can't change it.



this might be what you're looking for http://www.webmonkey.com/webmonkey/96/40/index3a.html?tw=programming :)


just replace the javascript:void bit with the url you want to link to

like so


<a href="yourpagetolink.htm" onMouseOver="(window.status=text to display in status bar instead of URL'); return true">the text link on the page</A>


2) how do I get links to external sites to open in new windows?

i believe this has been well answered already *nods*


oh and welcome back :fluffle:

Okay, there is now a reminder of both my sex and my boobs in my signature. Now you have the info as well as some eye candy.

Just put nothing in your statement:
<a href="javascript:void(0)" onMouseOver="(window.status=' '); return true" target="_blank">

Note that windows.status is followed a single quote and then a single quote, not double quotes. I put a space in between to make it clearer, but the space itself is not necessary, although leaving it in would change the status bar to a space.

There's been an influx of God-peoples, 4 or 5 threads are nothing but spam.

Ummm...Some stuff happened...There was this thing with a mod.

hehe i know what that's like. working on a website right now where i gotta go through making 3 different sets of pages for each of the counties of the UK... about 150 pages at least in total. fuck its boring :( :p (involves much linkage)

though you might want to consider things said elsewhere on this thread - pro hosting solution or something? (can't really say for sure as i don't know/understand what you have)


as for things going on round here... Tactical Grace is a mod again, i think that's new. Tink came back for a day or two... as did blessed chris. uh... me and glitz are still together... that's about it really (oh Sin came back too)

"god peoples"?

Eh, just people who believe in a God. They've come up to half the forum now, check the poll on that "Do You Believe in God" thread.

Umm...This mod guy...stepping down...C-something?

Oh and there's a very entertaining thread about genocide. :rolleyes:

I hate those threds, no matter what you answer some idiot thinks it's their job to tell you that you are stupid. :mad:
