Welcome
Hi, welcome to HTML Wiki! Thanks for your edit to the Main Page page.

Please leave a message on my talk page if I can help with anything! -- Sannse (Talk) 23:12, November 29, 2009

Hi!
I'm glad to see someone editing here. I administrate the JavaScript Wiki, so this would be a useful reference guide if it were active. You might want to check out how I've set up the HTML DOM section for some ideas on how to give a complete reference for each attribute (although Table is the only tag I've gone over so far).

Anyhow, in case you want to discuss anything about either wikis or HTML, I'm familiar with both. --Jesdisciple (talk) 06:41, November 30, 2009 (UTC)


 * Yes, but I have two reasons to guide you rather than do it for you. I have some other projects, and anyway I want you to learn from my help so you don't have to keep being fed (by me or someone else).  The internet is swamped with people asking for web dev help, so I've learned that guidance works a lot better to both ends than free code does.


 * Are these addresses on the same domain as the page itself? If not, you need to use a server-side script like PHP in combination with JS.  Either way, you'll need AJAX. EDIT: And depending on what this application is for, PHP would probably do the job better on its own by retrieving the addresses before sending the page. --Jesdisciple (talk) 17:41, November 30, 2009 (UTC)

Re: Project
You'll need to use a PHP web-crawling library or framework which can log in. However, make sure you aren't violating the target site's terms of service.

If the domain of the JS is different from the accessed domain, you need PHP. Since you need to keep your login info secure, you need PHP. And depending on what this application is for, PHP would probably do the job better on its own by retrieving the addresses before sending the page. --Jesdisciple (talk) 20:32, November 30, 2009 (UTC)


 * Oh, this is only for your use? You might be able to avoid PHP without concern for security then.  Look into bookmarklets (Firefox) or user JS (Opera), or ask your browser's community for the name of a similar feature if you don't use either of those.


 * Also, note that you can ask me questions; that's not the issue I mentioned before. I just don't make a habit of typing ready-made code for everything. --Jesdisciple (talk) 00:56, December 1, 2009 (UTC)
