I have an eCommerce site where I have limited access to pages via a Site Manager. This gives me access to certain pages and some editable areas of those pages where I can update/modify html code.
I have a payment (https) page that I am trying to modify, (add a couple content statements at the bottom) but I believe the code is being intentionally blocked from displaying on this page.
I have tried to get the software vendor to modify this page for me, but I was told it would change all their customer's pages and they don't want that.
I am wondering if anyone out there would have any ideas or tricks with html code to force show a paragraph and bypass their built-in blocking?
Thanks for your time and help!
I think you won't be able to do it.
At your eCommerce system, you have a certain Role. That role belongs under some Permission. The Permission is set form your vendor.
Do you have any Domain or ID?
If yes, you could use JavaScript to manipulate the HTML but create DOM on Window Load.

Say I have a product website, like Amazon (this is not the case, but it will help me explain my point), and I have a URL for every single product (such as with Amazon)...
Do I need to copy-paste and modify an HTML file for every single individual product page, or is there a way to use a "model" on which I can base all my other pages without recopying the whole code and modifying a few things in each?
I've just started learning HTML and web development, so bare with me if I'm asking a stupid question.
It just seems odd to me that a million-page website should host a million+ individual, nearly identical, HTML files.
Thank you very much in advance.
P.S. I'm using Amazon's brand name as an example here, and am not affiliated with anything related to it. Thank you for understanding.
No, you do not need an HTML file for every single page on your website. While you could do that, it is becomes very infeasible to manage the bigger your site becomes. On most websites you would have the following components:
A front end - consists of HTML code and usually some sort of template engine with placeholders for your data
A backend - consists of your data store (usually a database).
There will also usually be some form of API and/or middleware between your front end and backend.
If you go to https://example.com/myproductid in your browser, your computer will send that request to the web server. The web server will then retrieve your data, load it into the correct template, and serve the page to you.
In traditional HTML and PHP only websites, you would have to reload the entire page each time you went to a new product. However, you can instead use a technique called Ajax to only update certain parts of a web page rather than reloading the entire page. That way you can just update the text, images, and links that are specific to the product, and the rest of the page would stay the same. (Note: Ajax originally used XML, modern implementations usually use JSON).
Ultimately, you will want to learn some JavaScript and then start looking into various web frameworks or libraries such as ReactJS.
Not you Can have only one page for all product, but you have to make it Dynamic.
Yes you need an HTML document for your each webpage, like for Home page, contact us page you need different HTML documents
I'm creating a Shopify store for a client who does not obviously know coding. He will need to update content on the website (and I have coded some pages with certain layouts (in the html part of the content) so when he types his content it often breaks our design)
As an alternative solution, I'm thinking of using the blog feature.
I know Shopify lets us create a page with only a certain blog, but what it does is show up in the URL - as a ...blog/cocktails.
That is not good for the end user, because I merely want it to be a page that calls the blog articles from this blog. I'm unable to find a way to do it.
I tried replacing blog.content with blog['cocktail'].content and etc..
but it didn't do anything.
Alternatively are there any suggestions how you can design a page and let clients add their own content just by typing (for instances where its a list of recipes for example)?
I think it would be best to create a custom page template same as blog page.
It will solve your all problems(i think) because first your url problem will be solved by it user has to just assign a template from backend.
Second one most important user can update its content from backend and it will not disturb your html.
If you still have problems just customise html and css.
I hope it will help you.
I am not a programmer and rely on products such as wix, weebly, and wordpress to "cheat" by drag and dropping what I need. I am trying to build a site which will mostly have informational pages but I also need the ability for clients to be able to login and submit/change forms as well as upload documents. Thanks to sites such as the ones mentioned above I am able to setup the informational site and have a log in - but I need a log in where it will direct each individual to a "personal page" where they can edit their forms and upload more documents. Any ideas? Is there perhaps an html embed code or plugin of some sort that could do this?
Weebly, to my knowledge, can't handle custom login screens. Not familiar with Wix, but I assume it is the same.
Consider looking into Wordpress. It is much more friendly to non-programmers, and is very easy to customize. The default WordPress build comes with a login system.
Customization looks easy enough. Hope that helps.
I'm new to Go. I'm understanding the basics more and more but now I'm trying to learn how to interface the code with HTML.
My simple scenario is that I have a single web page with a list that's created by Go fetching information from a database, then building the html page from a group of templates. All I want is to make a simple list that will allow me to somehow mark it as complete/done when the <div> is clicked or something. Also, to be able to fully delete a "row" in my webpage list, a div basically.
So my list will indicate something is complete (I assume I must use Go to alter the css) and delete an item (completely remove that block of html). And remember, these items are stored in a database, so I must be able to identify the specific item.
Any help, ideas, resources, pseudocode, pointers would be greatly appreciated!
In web development, there are two "ends" where code executes; the browser and the server, aka. the front-end and the back-end.
A "click" happens in the browser and will execute code in the browser. That "browser-code" in turn may or may not contact the server for additional information and then render that information to the browser.
That means; the server has no control over what happens in the browser* and vice versa. That's the basics of web development.
Go is a language good for building servers. Javacript is the language that most browsers understand. What you need is Javascript, not Go.
* this is not entirely true but good enough as a base to start learning.
I have affiliated with expedia and I am using their API system. One of their requirements for launching the site is adding the terms and agreements to my page and they give us this page: http://travel.ian.com/index.jsp?pageName=userAgreement&locale=en_US&cid=xxx. I do not want to go to a different site, and I can not copy and paste the information because of updates. I also prefer not to use an iframe. Does anyone have any ideas on how to do this? Here is a webpage using this on their site with their domain: http://www.helloweekends.com/terms.htm. Does anyone know how they did this? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Since it originates from another domain, it wouldn't be possible to use JavaScript, due to the same origin policy. Also, relying on JavaScript for the update would be trouble for users who has JavaScript disabled, as they wouldn't see the terms. Since you don't want to use an iframe, or copy the content, I guess your best shot would be to scrape their page with a server-side language of your choice, and then display it on your page.
Scraping can be a bit tricky though, if you rely on their markup. If they change their markup, there is a chance that your script will break, thus stop updating the terms.
There are various tutorials available on how to scrape sites. Here are a few PHP examples:

Note Make sure that they allow you to scrape the page prior to implementing it, so that you don't violate their rules.
Do you know if their API serves something with JSON? A JSONP call can get the values to you, but it will make your page rely on javascript for the users to see the updated page.
Another option is to use PHP of any other server side language to get the contents of the url, process it and return the block you require.
I would suggest the load() function offered by jQuery. It makes a simple AJAX call to retrieve a file, and you could even use a selector to only grab part of the page. For example, load the contents of a HTML page into a div:
$('#div_id').load('my_file.html');
Or just load a part of the page:
$('#div_id').load('my_file.html #main_text_id');
