I am new to HTML/CSS and in this project intend to create a simple web page in such a way that each page links to three other HTML pages.
<div id="mySidenav" class="sidenav">
Home Page
about
Projects
Contact
</div>
My questions:
Is it possible to link to other pages other than the page itself via
programming (to write if page_name == link.html then exclude it from
the links)? e.g., I want to tell my HTML that if I am in the "about"
page, don't add the link to this page.
If that is possible, how I can fill the self-link button without using JS.
Yes, it possible. First, you have to know about PHP. Then get the current page url by $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'].
IF the current page url is matched with your link like about.html then ignore the link for the same current page.
Otherwise, you can create a separate page with ignoring link. Like when you at about page ignore that link.
The short answer is no. HTML isn't a programming language and has no flow control or logic capabilities. You could achieve this via server-side rendering (express or php or whatever) or via static site generation (gatsby, etc.).
Otherwise you could (of course) modify the nav on each page accordingly, but I understand and agree that that's less than ideal.
This is a bit of a stretch, but you could link to homePage.html#homePage and use the CSS :target pseudo-selector to hide the current item or give it special css treatment, but this is sort of a brittle hack and it will break down if the fragment (#homePage, #projects, etc.) isn't present in the browser's url.

I have made an web page. There are two iframes
In it. First is of index and second one is description page. I want that when I click on the any index hyperlink, then it is displayed on main description page.
How it will be possible? please give me the HTML code
You can use a button and when clicking it, change the url of the iFrame using Javascript like this:
document.getElementById('iframe-id').src = newLink;
You can use the data-attribute to store the wanted link in your html.
In case you want to do that: It is not possible to react to things outside of an iFrame through an iFrame. So you cannot put a link in iFrame1 and have it reload iFrame2, because those are two different websites and don't see each other.
Now, idk what exactly you are planing to do, but I really hope, that you don't want to make your entire site like that. Using iFrames is really only useful for things like inserting widgets (like Codepen etc.), but should never be used to display information from your own site. If you don't want to copy your html for every site then use PHP. If you don't want to reload your entire webpage (which is pretty much never a problem) you can use AJAX-requests to load parts of your website. (Frameworks like React.js, Angular.js and Vue.js do that for you)
i like singlepages with anchors but i have seen, that site:domain.com only show one result on google.
my sections are like
<div id="section">content...</div>
and my links are like:
section link
is there a way to build the singlepage a other way to get a result for each section? i dont like to use any frameworks...
I think the only way now is to pre-render the website on your server, using something like PhantomJS and serve the result to the Google crawler. Creating a sitemap can also help.
With no URL change and all the content in the HTML document - Google will only see one page.
Google indexes complete web pages. It will not separately list anchor links to the same page.
Either split your document into multiple pages or paginate content using different URLs.
I have a personal website, which I have made (to the best of my ability) without a template. I am not very experience in HTML so am not entirely sure if this is bad practice or not, but here is my issue.
My website consists of a frameset, which has 3 frames. Two do not change (banner and nav panel), and the other is content. The way I display my content in the main frame is through an iframe. Here's where the trouble comes. I have suggested my website to the crawler, and it crawls all the pages for content, of course. When I click on one of my links suggested by google (say, a project), the browser loads that individual .html file, without any of the rest of my frames. In other words, it does not link to the page through my index.html which sets up the formatting and page frames, but simply loads the html as a stand-alone page.
Is there a way I can avoid this, so that if a link for my website is clicked from an external link (not from my domain), the page first loads my index.html, and then the page of interest, so that it appears as if it were accessed normally from my index? I am not sure whether I should find a new way of displaying my content in the main frame so that it avoids iframes, or just need a simple script to redirect the user.
Not sure if it's useful but I've attached a photo of my page just to better explain what the frame layout is that I am working with.
Many thanks!!!
iFrames are definitely not the route to take when you are displaying consistent content... Which from what appears to be the Navigation, Header, and of course, the Content. Of course there will be an issue when a "Search Engine Spider" crawls your page... From my understanding, seeing as you are calling "content" from another page, the spider will crawl that page but will not crawl the index.html page we are currently viewing. When a "Spider" crawls a page it looks for STATIC HTML Tags/Content/Keywords/etc, and seeing as you are calling all of your content from other pages the "Spider" will treat that content as being on another page as well.
You want me recommendation? Avoid using an iFrame at all times. The point of an iFrame is to display content from another location (external), and or display static content on a page without having to scroll the current page you are viewing the iFrame on.
It is bad practice to use an iFrame, I would suggest using DIVs. Within these DIVs you may place content, images, links... Virtually anything you want, with all of the benefits of having people view your website, along with Search Engine Spiders.
I hope this helps!
Thanks,

iFrames are a bad choice. AJAX is VERY simple these days. Just replace the big iFrame with a Div, and AJAX a page, putting the contents into that Div.
Replace your anchors with tags, and replace href with name, like so:
<div name='main.html' class='link' />
You need a div with the id 'loadHere':
Then include jQuery (it's pretty easy, google it) and at the end of your HTML put this:
$('.link').click(function(){
$.post(this.name,function(dat){
$('#loadHere').html(dat); }); });
I have a web site that gets a new page every couple weeks, and that means I need to update the menu to have the new page in every single one. I'm wondering if there is a way to have an external text or .htm file that I can basically insert into the web page. That way I can put the menu in the external file and call it wherever I want it. So I only have to edit one thing when I get a new page.
Thanks in advance.
Edit: This is a drop-down menu with ul and li tags with an external style sheet for them. So this needs to work for that too. Thanks
Have a single HTML page like so:
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
HTML OF LINKS HERE
</body>
</html>
Then save it as my_links.html and into the page you want to insert it... do the following. Copy and paste the whole page and it as FILENAME.PHP and then use this code:
<?php include("my_links.html"); ?>
Congratulations, you have just used PHP! Learn more about the including pages here.
This is very easy and common to do on sites that use a server-side language behind them (PHP, ASP.NET, etc.)
If you don't want to use a server side language, than an <iframe> is your only option.
If you want to use HTML, and only html (no server side programming or javascript), you can use Server Side Includes embedded into your html files. Your web server may need to be configured to accept them.
If you are using server side include and you had navigation in a separated file, yes you can just edit things separate.
You can also do this using jQuery.
$('#elementid').load('page.html');
http://api.jquery.com/load/
But this will not be SEO friendly.
Also if someone has scripts turned off in their browser, then this will not work.
I am wondering if there's a way I can embed a webclip into a webpage, as in, I can have a portion of a webpage embedded as a widget into another page. I was thinking it might be possible someway though Mac OS X's Dashboard widgets, one can take a webclip and make a dashboard widget, as I hear that they are HTML based, and thus one could reverse-engineer one into simple HTML code. Kind of the reverse of what google does for gadgets. Any ideas? I'm open to any solutions.
Thanks.
The easy, html-based way is with an iframe. What this does is put an entire webpage within a box on your page. You don't have much flexibility with it.
You can also do it with javascript. JQuery makes it easy with their .load() method. Going this route, you can load a webpage with javascript, load specific tags within that page, or even modify the incoming code before displaying it.
Most basically:
$("#xxxx").load("url.html");
Where xxxx is the id of the html tag where you want the content to be loaded on your page (e.g. if you have <div id="xxxx">content will go here</div> in your HTML). See more details at: http://docs.jquery.com/Ajax/load.
If these don't suffice, the next step would be PHP (I doubt you'd need it, but if you'd like to, you car search for file_get_contents on php.net).
