Still don't think I'm grasping HTML well....

[Harsky]

I have a site (can't give link, sorry) and when I was organizing the files, I decided to create some folders (such as picture etc) to make it more managable. But I noticed that if I type in something like www.nameofsite.com/picture it gives a full list of every single thing that I uploaded in the picture folder. How do I stop that happening?

 

[jumpman17]

put a blank html file called index.html into the folder. then when you try to go to that folder, it will show a blank page. or you could type something up if you want saying "ZOMG! Super secret haxxors page!"

There is another way to block all folders but I don't know how.

It's a setting of the server, you can enable or disable directory listing in the configuration file.

Don't want to make another topic so I'll post here. There's something I'm trying to do on my site. I made several pictures to use as the banner on top of my site. Only problem is, I can't settle on one picture. So what I was wanting to do is that everytime someone refreshes the site, the picture always changes. Unfortunately, I was told that can only be done in Javascript and I don't know the first thing to do. Thanks in advance.

[Harsky]

Whew!

Well, here, do what I do, find a site that has what you want, and swipe the code. Monkey around switching out the graphics and whatnot until it works. That's how I learned HTML.

I can't think of any sites that does what I'm wanting to snatch the code.

Type refresh and the banner at the top changes...
Is that what you were looking for?

Their's is done with php most likely (as most of their site is run by php).

Well not solely Javascript only, but it can't be done with standard HTML. Like the above example, it can also be done with php. If you want to go that route, I could whip up a quick script that would work for you.

Put this in the header, to add more just copy the banner[*] line, change the number to 1 above the last, and then change the numbanner to match [remember [0] counts as 1 too].

CODE
    function getbanner() {
            banner = new MakeArray(100);
            numbanner = 4;  // Make this the number of banners you have.

            banner[0] = ""
            banner[1] = ""
            banner[2] = ""
            banner[3] = ""
           //Make more as needed

            var now = new Date()
            var sec = now.getSeconds()

            return banner[sec % numbanner];
    }

    function MakeArray(n) {
            this.length = n;
            for (var i = 1; i

 

[Harsky]

I think I did something wrong as nothing is appearing

 

[Psyfira]

It's working fine over here (assuming you've changed the image URL's cause the ones in the example don't exist)

 

[Harsky]

Or maybe I'm such an HTML newbie and don't know what header is.

 

[Psyfira]

The bit between the head tags

CODE

[Harsky]

Okay, I made up the banner, inserted the script between the head but when I try to put this where I want it to appear:


CODE
  document.write(getbanner());
 Â

It doesn't work

 

[Qith]

Okay so your code should look something like this:

CODE

pr0n


 Âfunction getbanner() {
     Âbanner = new MakeArray(100);
     Ânumbanner = 4; Â// Make this the number of banners you have.

     Âbanner[0] = ""
     Âbanner[1] = ""
     Âbanner[2] = ""
     Âbanner[3] = ""
     //Make more as needed

     Âvar now = new Date()
     Âvar sec = now.getSeconds()

     Âreturn banner[sec % numbanner];
 Â}

 Âfunction MakeArray(n) {
     Âthis.length = n;
     Âfor (var i = 1; i

Yay, got it working. But what about the alcohol...... BTW, I found myself using quite a lot of banners which is making the code looking a little messy. Is there another banner refreshing option?

 

[Squiffy]

Well, we won't actually see the code, and since it's only text the filesize should still be small. So, I wouldn't worry about it getting messy, just tab it out, add new lines to make it neater.
Have you ever seen the gbatemp portal source? It's horrible!
