Wondering if anybody can help me? I am trying to design a web page that has various form fields to fill in dependant on which radio button choice you select at the top of the page. Essentially, I want a dedicated space that you can replace with a different content without affecting the...

This sounds like just the sort of solution that I am looking for to solve a problem that I am having getting around frames usage. Some code would be great if you're offering! Thanks, Andy

Cheers Erik - that's just the ticket!

I was wondering whether anybody had found a way of specifying the width of a <select> dropdown menu, other than by forcing it with a fake entry eg. &quot;select from list below&quot; option. I have several select menus one below the other in a table and I want them all to be the same size...

That's the ticket! Cheers Mr Grey. Is that a bit of an &quot;IE Only&quot; tag though or is it just new?, as it's not in my invaluable &quot;web design in a nutshell&quot; book?

Having never used layers, never mind hidden ones, would it be too much to ask for an example code snippet or a URL where I can see this being employed?

Is there an easy way to use the <img alt=&quot;&quot;> style tag, where text is displayed when you hover over an object - to the contents of a <td> - which itself may be text or an empty cell? Cheers.

You need to open the new URL via Javascript such as in the following way: newWin = window.open(&quot;&quot;, &quot;nWin&quot;, &quot;width=300, height=300&quot;);

Bring on the graphic designers then... I was using whole images before, but thought that a combination of JSP tags and tables would let me better create my &quot;buttons&quot; dynamically as and when needed rather than fire up Photoshop every time. Never mind. Thanks for the help everybody.

That does work too (how do we always overlook the simplest solutions?), somewhat better in IE5.5 than IE 4.0 (status bar display included). No joy in NS though. What I really need is an IE/NS solution (have we heard that type of question before round here!?).

Cheers Jaredn - that works for IE as you say, but my app has to work in both of the &quot;majors&quot;. Any ideas for a NS workaround? What about some sort of active background image in the innermost data cell? I have pasted an extract of my code below. Appreciate any help. Andy...

Is there any way that a whole table <table> can be made into an active hyperlink? It is a fairly simple rectangular table consisting of several rows and columns with 1x1 pixel images, with the end result being some user defined text inside an outlined box. The users want the whole...

Scohan, Had a similar problem myself and this is how I got around it, it seems to work for me but I remember that I lashed it up pretty quickly so it's probably got it's faults: Javascript variable initialisation and function in HTML head section...

I quote Bangers from an earlier discussion: &quot;don't foprget to put in %20 for spaces&quot; That may be what you're after.

If a page has been set up with a frameset and frames, can you close individual frames on the fly with DHTML? e.g. window.frames['frameId'].close(); Cheers, AndyB.
