Hi,

I have a page in my friends website that i want to put pictures on, and then i would like to edit them or replace these pictures outside deamweaver. With a file of some type so he dosnt have to have deamweaver. Sorta like flash when you have a text file that can control what comes up in a flash file without having flash program to make the changes. I hope i'm making this clear to what i need done. Any help would be great thanks.

Hi,

I'm looking for a way to be able to change text and picture from a html page , but without going into dreamweaver to do it. Maybe a text file set up to exchance the pictures and text somehow after downloading the file from the server that the html is on.Then uploading it back into the server with the new pictures and file, so that the changes will be made without going into dreamweaver. Thanks again for helping me guys.

Cant anyone help me here please.

learn html

go into notepad and edit the page

Thank you samson , is there anyway you could point me in the right direction to read about that editing with html. A link maybe. I have done dreamweaver which i dont need to know html but if thats what i have to do to make this work then ill learn what i have too. I know theres alot of html places out there that can teach me certain codes or whatever but i dont even know what this called.
thanks

1)http://www.w3schools.com
-Read their HTML tutorial. Its not that hard and will only take about 20 min of you time.

2)http://dynamicdrive.com
-This place should have a script for you. After reading that tutorial, you should know what to do with the script you find.

W3schools is my choice.

Besides there are numerous HTML guides on the net.
try searching Google.

Thank you very much for you help vivekar. I'll go start reading some now.

And thanks to you too andyc23 i thought you too where the same people.

i've been looking though these links and i dont know what you call what i want to do. Does anyone know whats its called? Its not linking? Having a note pad tell what the text and image is going to be on a web page. I cant find anything like that.

anyone know the name of what i want to do. To be able to change pictures and text in some kind of note pad instead of actually having dreamweaver to make the changes on a webpage?

sound like what you're wanting is to use templates/includes ... have your page fetch text from another source and stick it in your pages...

unfortunately you can't do this with just html. you'll need something like php, but I seriously recommend you get the hang of html first.

What you are trying to do isn't really "called" anything. Its just a simple component of html. Get the source in notepad, find the path of the pic you want changed, and replace it with the path of the pic you want to change it to. Eg; replace <img src="blah/blah/blah.gif"> with <img src="pic/pic/pic.jpg> and you have just done what you are trying to do. Simply, thats how HTML works.

Now, if you are saying you want to be able to edit your page at the site without having to do anything technical, Im not sure thats possible (unless you use a portal system). There is really only one way to make a webpage, and thats by using HTML. Even Dreamwever does it that way. Its really just a tool to generate HTML. Dreamweaver doesn't directly do anything to your site.

Thank you very much for your help. Im going to check out what a portal system is. But in the meantime maybe one of you can make me something to put into the server? A program or an admin control page that this company can access and make the changes. Heres a link to the website that needs something to be able to change pictures and text , maybe this will give a better description of what im trying to say. I know theres a way but i an too inexperience to do it. Its on the what's new page, home page and products page at the bottom for emplyees.
thanks

Read up on php Nuke. That is a portal system and it sounds like its just what you need. Sort of like how I post this message, I can change the content of this page. You can post news and pics on the main page through a similar system to this but only admins can do it. Also, check out WordPress.
