Html To Pdf with bootstrap - html

I am making a payment gateway for a client using authorize.net which I have succesfully managed to do so. Now the client wants to have a receipt for the user to download on the success page. I have all the necessary data in php variables stored for printing. But the invoice that my client wants has a specific design , there are a lot of alignments, lines. I have tried jspdf. but doesnt go with the styling of my html. and I dont know how to align things in it myself. Can anyone give me a go-ahead what should I do to print pdf anyway I like.
Thanks

In case you are still looking for a solution, or someone else comes across this question, see this answer https://stackoverflow.com/a/61484708/3761687
While that question was about React, the solution works with any framework.

How can I pass form data from one html file to another without JS/PHP?

I'm learning basic web dev and started with HTML, CSS, Bootstrap. Haven't touched PHP or anything server side yet.
What I've done so far is I've created a pretty basic registration form with 5 fields and what I'm trying to do is display the input of those fields in a table that I've created on another page. The submit button has the "method" and action. Now, I've Googled a ton to find some solutions and have gone through most of the questions of this site but I still can't find out to achieve what I'm trying to do without the use of PHP/JS.
So, is it even possible to read form data from another page like this without the use of JS/PHP? If so, how do I proceed and what needs to be done? I can post the source code but I don't think it's going to help since there isn't much there, everything else is working fine except for finding a solution to this.
Thank you.
You need a programming language.
If you want to do it entirely client-side, then that has to be JS.
If you want to do it server-side (which allows you to access the data and, optionally, make it available to other people, instead of limiting it to the user of the browser) then you can use any programming language at all (although JS and PHP are among the most common choices).
Since you are trying to create a registration page, you'll need to use server-side programming.
You necessarily need to use JavaScript / PHP.
Since you are just starting, I would highly recommend you to check out the W3Schools tutorials on HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, Bootstrap and jQuery.

So this is long gone but I was actually able to resolve my problem without using anything other than basic HTML , so here's how I did it for anyone else who's trying to find the answer to problem (probably not, you don't usually do this professionally and basically this was a challenge from a friend).
So, two things.
SessionStorage
LocalStorage
This is built-in to your browser and you can use it to achieve simple tasks by simply assigning values to it. They'll remain there and you can use however you want.
But, as the name implies, sessionstorage will only retain those values during the session (the time you have your browser open for) while localstorage can retain it indefinitely. Not sure if I can link other sites over here so just Google these terms to learn more and how to use them.

batch make email link as image

Is there a way that could convert all mailto:example#exapmle.com email links in a html page to images showing same content/email address (I didn't have reputation to post images, an example image ). I knew some website provide such kind of service, but it could be done one by one. I have a webpage have many email links, so want to ask a better or smarter way to do that.
Any response would be appreciated. Thanks.
Yes. One way to do this is using PHP. Basically, what you are describing is writing text to an image. This can be done using the PHP imagettftext() function. See http://php.net/manual/en/function.imagettftext.php for more info.

Android: How do I retrieve problematic data from a specific webpage?

I have used .NET and ShDocVw for years to grab data off webpages without any issues I couldn't overcome. This website has me beat though. It seems like such as easy task to grab the titles and other information off a library search page, but I can't see the data to be able to grab it. Usually, I just look in the DOM, but the data wasn't there. I did a view source, but the data wasn't there. I am so confused.
I am learning Android right now and that is how I would like to solve my problem, but if .NET would be easier... Right now I will take any help, in any form.

For this specific website, if you disable javascript in your browser, you will see they give you a link to a plain html search portal

iWebKit/iPhone: Chatbox with MySQL, AJAX, PHP and Javascript

i am busy with a chatbox that contains MySQL, AJAX, PHP and Javascript.
Now i want to have this on my iPod Touch/iPhone, so i am building a website with iWebKit.
The following codes i provided is done now; just asking why it does not display the chatbox itself (so not the senders) after more than 2 lines are entered... What codes should i add or remove... Thanks.
I guess something with CSS or so, but i am not sure where i should apply it and what... Or maybe something else?
Download .zip here with all files
Your zip file is all php. I for one won't run someone else's php code on any of my servers. It would be much safer if you gave us a link to the problem page on your server.
Also, you have included the compressed CSS and not included the necessary Javascript file, so anyone wanting to help you would be facing a serious challenge.
Since it might well be an iWebKit issue, try the iWebKit forum. They are very helpful there.

Scraping hidden HTML (when visible = false) using Hpricot (Ruby on Rails)

I've come across an issue which unfortunately I can't seem to surpass, I'm also just a newborn to Ruby on rails unfortunately hence the number of questions
I am attempting to scrape a webpage such as the following:
http://www.yellowpages.com.mt/Malta/Grocers-Mini-Markets-Retail-In-Malta-Gozo.aspx
I would like to scrape The Addresses, Phones and URL of the next Page which in this case is
http://www.yellowpages.com.mt/Malta/Grocers-Mini-Markets-Retail-In-Malta-Gozo+Ismol.aspx
I've been trying just about anything i could think of but nothing seems to work due to them being set to invisible or so.
The Address is within an h3 tag but it does not appear to be scrap-able. I've been also looking into ScRUBYt from the following url http://www.rubyrailways.com/ajax-scraping-with-scrubyt-linkedin-google-analytics-yahoo-suggestions/, but i really cant seem to find heads or tails of how to apply them in this case.
I would really appreciate any pointers as this is an obstacle which i really need to surpass in order to move forward on my assignment. Thanks in advance for any help.
In the particular example you have given, the elements are not hidden, but loaded via ajax after the page load. So basically what you need is a http client which can run javascript (web browser?) to see those address and other contents.
If you want to really automate the process and scrape the data which is got through ajax or javascript, you can try selenium. Even though it is not developed for that purpose, it serves your needs.
I don't have an answer to your specific question, but I thought I'd point to Ryan Bates' Railscast episode on screen scraping with ruby: http://railscasts.com/episodes/173-screen-scraping-with-scrapi
He uses a library called scrAPI instead of ScRUBYt, since he couldn't get ScRUBYt working. scrAPI seems to be a bit easier maybe?
I hope this helps somewhat, good luck with your assignment! :)

There is a good script posted at the google group. It seems to extract address, etc. You may want to look at the code for the script page.txt.
