I just need some help in pointing me in the right direction. I have no issue with research but I don't know where to start!!! I want to make a program that uses a websites search function, but doesn't display the page. It will save the page and scan the HTML for a specific string and display it.
Would it work better to display the page in the background and search it, this way I don't have to save anything??
Where do I start??
A web page is mostly simple text. You can download a page with cURL and search it pretty much like you would any other text. If you don't want to search the contents of the tags, you'd want to search after parsing.

I made a website on Big Cartel and I need to add some text under the slideshow I am using on my homepage.
From what I gather the only way for me to do this is via code on HTML. I know nothing about coding so I was trying to look up tutorials on how to add text, but I could never get the text to display on the page.
How can I go about adding the text?
I tried using code I found online, just as an example so I can see how it's displayed. I couldn't get any text to display anywhere on the page.
I want to output some hyperlinked text to a file using C++. I want the text to be "clickable" so that when a user clicks the "text" it'll take him to a specified, linked webpage. I was trying to make sense of libcurl, but from what I understand it doesn't allow you to output the links in the way i'm describing. For example, I want to output a list of separate links,
Cookie
Cake
Pie
that all go to different webpages. If i'm wrong, i'll do some more learning, but if not, i'd like to hear other suggestions.
Thanks
I'm working on a project with Django (1.12) and python(2.7). I have a function which returns me in a string the content of an html page. I need to create the html page with this string, and after to transform it to pdf (already have the function), but WITHOUT leaving my actual page. I search since this morning on the internet but i don't find something like my case.
Does anybody knows if it's possible ? and if yes, how?
Thanks,

Being new to Joomla I do not know all the tricks for troubleshooting etc. Currently I have a page that has a section of content on it. The content is created by DT Register but I've been through the CP several times and cannot find the section?
I hope someone is up and can share with me how to track down where pieces of content come from so I can find where this is being generated and change as needed.
The page in question is a DT Register form. I can locate and modify every section of the page EXCEPT one.
The section is titled USER INFORMATION and captures userid & password to create an account. Looking at the element in developer tools it would appear it is part of the dt register generated code but as I mentioned I can't find it.
The sandbox I am playing in is here: http://take7.lamplighterguild.com/index.php/register?eventId=15&controller=event&task=individualRegister
The section is towards the top and is hard to read on the page...which is why I want to find it.
Thank you for any help or direction.
So unfortunately my question was poorly worded. I have no trouble at all getting the css changed. It is the origin of the content that I am really trying to track down. Where does it come from etc. Is there a way to detect if it came from an article, or a component, etc. I thought there might be clues as how to figure that out.
For troubleshooting issues like this, tools like Firebug or Web Inspector for Chrome and Safari are your go to tools. If you aren't already familiar with them you'll find lots of help online.
There is default body text styling of colour #D9A362 getting into your page from one of the stylesheets. I can't find the source quickly myself, though it's easy enough to write an override.
One place you could do this is open http://take7.lamplighterguild.com/templates/theme1001/css/template.css with a text editor. Below the existing body rule # line 7, add something like
body.cssstyle-style1{
color:black;
}
This will fix the H2 text at the top of the page which you mention, plus the 'user information' line immeadiately above the form.
Hope this helps!
EDIT
You have something which is writing the following style to your page head and this is the culprit:
body {font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size:13px; line-height:21px; color:#D9A362; }
It's even on your home page so it's not necesaarily related to DT Register. To me it looks like it's coming from your menu extension.
Hey everyone, I would appreciate a pointing in the right direction with the problem I'm having. In short, I'm working on an application that will create PDFs using TinyMCE and ColdFusion 8. I have the ability to create a PDF by just entering in text, pictures, etc. However, I want to be able to import an html template and insert it into the TinyMCE .
Basically, I have a file directory code snippet that lets me browse through my 'HTMLTemplates' folder, and am able to select an HTML document. Now, I want to be able to take all the code from that selected HTML document and insert it into my TinyMCE box. Any tips on how I might do this, maybe?
Thanks!
If I understood you correctly, you already have a TinyMCE plugin which pops up a window and allows you to browse the certain directory using existing cfm page which you render within the popup window. Right?
If not, you should start with this. Not sure how easy it is done in current version, but in the older TinyMCE I've created the custom upload plugin (needed to track the site security permissions for current user) pretty quickly.
Next, I can see two quick ways to pass the server file contents to the client-side:
Make it available via HTTP so you can make the GET request and read contents into the variable.
Output it on the page using CF (say, on form submit when file selected) and grab using JavaScript.
I'd personally tried the second option. After you grab the text into the variable you can put it into the TinyMCE using it's API.
It can be as simple as output escaped text into the hidden div with known ID and read it using DOM operations (assuming that there is cfoutput around):
<div id="myTemplate">#HTMLEditFormat(myFileContents)#</div>
Also you can output the text directly into the JavaScript variable (of cource, with accurate escaping), maybe like this.
<script type="text/javascript">
var text = '#HTMLEditFormat(myFileContents)#';
</script>
Most advanced and possibly better for performance (and definitely "cooler") way is to use the concept of script tags as data containers, like this:
<script type="text/plain">
#HTMLEditFormat(myFileContents)#
</script>
Last time I've seen this in Nadel's blog, I think. Read it, pretty interesting.
Hope this helps.
