Hmm.. I'm a little confused at to what you are saying.

So, you're saying, transferring links from 1 page to another?

kf9211 · 01-21-2007, 07:09 PM

kind of what I want to do is make it so that if i add a link to every page of my website I don't have to do it to every page manualy
thank you

ps. it dosen't have to be javascript I just thought that that would be what you would use to do that but now that I think about it it would probably be rss or something else

So like an include of them on every page, sort of along the idea of the stuff on the left side on this => http://doumc.com ? if so just create the html page and then in PHP include("name.html"); or require, or include_once or require_once whatever. I'm not sure what the equivalent of an include function is in JS though.

how would i include ("name.html") in php

Arenlor · 01-21-2007, 08:49 PM

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php include("name.html"); ?>

of course your file doesn't have to be name.html it can be anything.

As above, plus, you can't do that in javascript unless you set javascript as a server side language which I've never seen done. Pages (with your links) are served by the server.

The server downloads html and javascript to the browser. The browser / html / javascript may not write to the server. The html and javascript send server requests, and the server carries them out. So you have to have a server side language to process the request.

browser (client) asks for web page

Server (IIS, Apache, whatever) sends html and/or javascript to browser(client)

User inputs links into browser, submits

Form submitted sends request "please add these links" and data (the links the user input) to server

The server hands off request to server side processor (php, asp, whatever)

The processor receives link strings, adds them to some file your site will display, hands control back to the server

Server sends "thanks for your links, we're working on it" back to the client.

Something of this sort?:

http://webicio.us/exlinks/index.php

Quote:

Username: admin
Password: gnn

and include this file on all the pages:

http://webicio.us/exlinks/links.php

and it allows you to configure looks, etc. Maybe if that's your need.

Granted JS is CLIENT side, not SERVER side. But, why cant you have in a JS file:

Code:

<html>
<head>
<title>V7N</title>
</head>
<body>
<script src="links.js" language="javascript" type="text/javascript"></script>
</body>
</html>

Code:

document.write("<a href='link1.htm'>Link 1</a><br />");
document.write("<a href='link2.htm'>Link 2</a><br />");
document.write("<a href='link3.htm'>Link 3</a><br />");

From here you will need the

Code:

<script src="links.js" language="javascript" type="text/javascript"></script>

in every page's nav section

Edit "links.js" as needed....

Cool, I must have misunderstood the requirement.

I thought you wanted to accept an input from the user that would write the links to a file. If you've already got the links than this or the include(name.htm) above will work as well.

NO! I would NEVER allow an outsider add links to my page. Who knows where they would send people.

This will work too if you can have server side include(s)

Code for v7n.SHTML

Code:

<html>
<head>
<title>V7N</title>
</head>
<body>
<!--#include file="links.htm" -->
</body>
</html>

code for links.htm

Code:

<a href='link1.htm'>Link 1</a><br />
<a href='link2.htm'>Link 2</a><br />
<a href='link3.htm'>Link 3</a><br />

thanks so much for helping me thats exactly what i wanted to do

kf9211 · 01-23-2007, 08:47 PM

wait never mind thats not what i want to do. what the problem is is that i have a website that has many pages and i have some of the links already however i plan on adding some later so instead of doing it manualy I wanted to know if there is way to make it so that you could add something like javascript or php or any other scripting language to make it so you could create a seperate page that would put that html, javascript etc. onto that page that way you would only have to change 1 page as apposed to having to change every page manualy. (also it dosen't have to be a scripting language it could also be a program that could do it.)
thank you

The answer you seek is within you.

kf9211 · 01-23-2007, 08:55 PM

? umm?

Arenlor · 01-23-2007, 09:04 PM

First page name it whatever you want .txt

HTML Code:

<table><tr><td valign="top" width="180px"><a href="firstpage.html">First Page</a><br />
<a href="secondpage.asp">Second Page</a><br />
<a href="thirdpage.php">Third Page</a></td>

That will create it vertically. Make it valid as you will. width can be whatever you want, and should be defined in CSS for validity. Have td.left have the width and have it be class="left" in the td there.

Second page (the one they'll view) name it whatever you want .php

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php

echo "<html><head><title>Title</title></head><body>";

include('whateverYouNamedIt.txt');

echo "<td><p>your page content</p></td></tr></table></body></html>";

That should be how your every page is, if you're like me and just include a head and a body file you can have the body file be </td></tr></table></body></html> and the head file be <html><head><title>TITLE</title></head><body><table><tr><td>your links</td><td> then you can just write your pages as normal and just include that. If you want your links at the top tell me and I'll give you an example of how to do that.

Click the link, glasshoppah
you want the include stmt

Radnor · 01-24-2007, 07:58 AM

kf9211 · 01-26-2007, 05:16 PM
