Hi, (I wasn't sure where to exactly put this)

But anyways, here I am to ask a question about programs. I would like to use a simple application or program to do this. What I would like to do is make a thing on a website that when text is entered answers pop up. Say you go to the website, and there is a text box and it says "enter level of game" and once you enter "burgundy France" you click "GO" and once it loads up you will get a bunch of bulleted text lines giving you tips on how to beat a certain level in call of duty. If anyone nows how to do this, and/or a program that can do this, please post.

here is an example of what I would like to do (not the same thing, but with games) Click See how there is a text box where you enter what you want and then you click go and it gives you answers, I need to learn how to do something like that.
Thanks,
JTM
 
I dont really get the site you listed as opposed to your details, but it seems like it just directs to a different page on the server. There wasn't no pop up.

But from what you are looking on doing, I could probably suggest something similar to the page u gave. like the drop down menu you see on the "GO" buttoms. Maybe you can list the levels (as you say) there, they will click on the level and press GO. Then that'll take them to the page with the tips. Or, you can make it pop up in a new window, etc..

If that is even remotely what you expect, reply bakk so I know and maybe I can help.
 
Yeah that is what I want to do. Have them select the level or difficulty, then they hit enter and it gives them the help for that level in a new page or popup.
 
it would be easier to make a drop down menu with each level. Trying to make a match from misspelled text or text in general is a little tough. Use a little javascript and it shouldn't be too hard.
 
Are there any free/cheap Javascript programs. Or do I have to do it all in Microsoft Notepad?
 
Sadly no. I don't have any HTML software either. But those can be pretty much downloaded, or most of the code needed. But Javascript I don't no to much about. Is there any programs?
 
Yeah I know it can be done just like HTML, but I was wondering if there were any programs to automatically retrieve the coding from imputing what you want.
 
Well not really.. you'll have to know the js code.. or you will have to find it and copy and paste it to what u need or want.

Here is an example totally different from the link u gave me.. but the logic is still kinda the same. I just think it'll be easier for the user and u if u do it this way. With the drop down, you'll have to store the info and such.. so not that easy if u never done it before.

If you like it, let me know so I can clean up the code for u. If not, we can work on other ways.

That is great! Ok, heres my whole Idea. I am doing this for Geometry Wars, but I am going to have the levels spread out like this. (Topics).

Enemies
Max Difficulty
Spawns
-And having it set that way will let me then load up pages that have tips on them. Much like you did, but mine will load off of a server. So they click it and then it pops up with the tips etc.

Nice work, Could I have the code to play with, or did you make it yourself? I'm not sure what to do next. When this is done, say I create a freewebs or something, the main page is the dropdown menu, then the other pages are there but not viewable unless navigated through by the drop down menu. can I do that?

Heres a quick one I like and found on the internet.

Cool. whatever suites you best, go for it.

As for the coding, you can use these and modify it to suite your style. just view the source and extract the things u need. it'll all be in the header and body. I have dial up so unfortunately I can't view that page becuz it'll take a month just to load the video. So yea good luck.
