I'm a mech engineer w/ no experience in HTML, doing an odd task for my boss.
I have managed to save the excel sheet (contains hyperlinks) to HTML format. However, I'd like to edit these hyperlinks within the HTML code.
I right-clicked on the test.htm document and viewed the HTML in notepad. I expected to be able to find the hyperlink at this stage.
My question is:
What is the structure of HTML files, in the sense that the hyperlink must be stored somewhere, how do I view it, preferably within notepad?
This has to do with the way excel saves to html. It generates a filename.htm which acts as a viewer, and then places data for each sheet inside a "filename_files" folder. Inside, you'll find sheetxxx.htm files (which actually contain the href you are looking for). When you open filename.htm, scripts inside it load the corresponding sheets into the page.
And this is why you won't find what you want inside the main file. Keep in mind that html is dynamic, which means that, differently from opening a static file in notepad, it can be configured to perform actions, changing what you see in the page and its code behind (Dom Explorer)
Hyperlinks in HTML are designated by the "a href" tag. For instance,
This Link Goes To Google
creates a link that says "This Link Goes To Google"

I'm trying to embed a Google worksheet in a page in my Wordpress website.
Exporting from Google gives me two files, one html an one sheet.css. The html links to the CSS file via href="resources/sheet.css". I have created a resources directory in my theme folder and placed the CSS inside, however, when I post the html in a page, the two files don't seem to be linked and the table is out of style (the cells are huge).
Any thoughts appreciated.
It is hard to know for sure without seeing your html code, but it seems like the url doesn't point to the correct location.
Entering the complete path of the file should solve the problem, if the rest of the link tag is correctly entered.
For my Trac plugin, I have made an export script which converts contents to a different format. The result is an HTML code.
When I click the link, some browsers open the HTML code in a new tab, while others offer to download it as a .print file, depending on their specific settings I think. Opening this .print file shows the same HTML page as opening it directly, but locally instead of from the server.
How can I force it to always open in a new tab?
I think it might be a mimetype issue. If it is, which mimetype can I use to tell the browser to open the HTML code directly? I am currently using text/html as mimetype.
EDIT: some more info
To give some more insight, adapting from a comment of mine below:
I do not create the link myself. The link is provided by Trac, the bug tracking software the plugin is for, and what I do is implement the method that creates the HTML code and let it return the HTML code along with the mimetype. Trac then returns the HTML code either as a file, or as a new tab, when clicking on that content conversion link. What I am searching for is a possibility to specify in the HTML code or mimetype that it gets opened in a new tab directly.
Maybe there is some kind of mimetype specifying the (HTML) text as an HTML web document instead of HTML file (if that distinction even exists).
Or an HTML/XML header or doctype specifying whether it gets downloaded or opened by a browser. I think the browser need to get that information from somewhere.
Or maybe there is an option to set in Trac.
I hope these ideas of mine about what could exist can help those of you who are versed with either or some of these to find a solution. I could not find a solution through my research yet.
If you have a link that "directly" opens (not in a new tab) and you want it to open a new tab, one way of doing it is
This will create a blank page, then paste the link there automagically and thus you will have a new tab with the desired page.
I started working for a marketing company who had their intranet file (.htm) set up so non-tech people could open it in Word and edit the hyperlinks or add a new file.
Of course this led to some CSS issues. So I opened it in Dreamweaver, fixed the CSS saved it and now you cannot view the entire document in word any longer?
Can I reformat it so it is accessible to the rest of the staff in Word again?
An option (sorry if you've tried it). Create a new word document, copy and paste the content from a browser window of the intranetfile.HTM into the word document.
Save the word document as an new-intranetfile.HTM. Rename the intranetfile.HTM to old-intranetfile.HTM and rename new-intranetfile.HTM to intranetfile.HTM.
Now you should be able to open the HTM file in word again.
My guess is that when you saved intranetfile.HTM from DreamWeaver it added dreamweaver code which confuses word. Or the hidden files that word saves when it saves an HTM document no longer linked correctly to the intranetfile.HTM and that was the issue.

I'm trying to create an editable page in Sharepoint. I already have the page in HTML (it's quite large) and it has many images in it. Previously I have just created a new page in sharepoint and pasted the HTML source in, the uploaded/inserted the images manually, one at a time.
Unfortunately, I am not able to do this in a reasonable amount of time since there are many images this HTML file is using.
So, I want an editable Sharepoint page that keeps the images intact from a directory that looks like this:
thepage.html
1.png
2.png
...
...
...
343.png
etc
Any ideas?
EDIT: For more clarity - this is a specifications document in HTML form, so it has a lot of text and header integrated with images. I'd like it to be converted to an actual Sharepoint Page that is editable from Sharepoint's interface.
Seems best here to use a low-tech solution, some HTML editing and use the best way for you to upload multiple files.
Assuming
C:\mypage
-> \page.html
-> \images\1.png
-> \images\2.png
...
-> \images\100.png
Via the UI
Go to a Document or Image library, and use the "Upload Multiple files/images" (this only appears on Internet Explorer)
Lets say you uploaded it to //sharepoint/myimages
Create a new content page (say an Article page, or WebPart Page with a Content Editor WebPart)
Lets say your page resides now at //sharepoint/pages/mypage.aspx
Change your html to point from <img src="images/1.png" /> to <img src="../myimages/1.png" />
Edit the HTML for your newly created page (Ribbon > Edit HTML Source), paste your HTML code
Via SharePoint Designer
Drag and Drop all the images in your desired location
repeat the HTML steps above
To replace text in bulk, SharePoint Designer, your favorite HTML editor or event Notepad can do that well using the CTRL+H menu / Edit > Find & Replace options.
NOTE: the //sharepoint address up there is the http url for your site, SO won't let me use a full fake address as a sample.
From IE or from Word, save the page as a complete webpage so it creates an HTML file plus a folder with the images.
In network places, create web folder (WebDAV) pointing to Sharepoint. This way, you can access it from the file system in Explorer.
Open your new network place, navigate to the library where you want your HTML file to be, and drag-n-drop the file and folder into there.
The file then will be visible in browser, with the pictures, but the folder will be hidden.
If I have understood correctly your question. You can use this post answer to load list of images by javascript and php ->
Load list of image from folder.
Upload files to Share Point server and use that folder.
Or you can dynamically write c# code to read Share Point folder and display images.
I'm developing a function (C#, ASP.NET 4) which creates and downloads a .ics file.
I'm trying to figure out what restrictions there are on the html within the X-ALT-DESC property. For example, if I send this:
X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<html><body><ul><li style="font-weight:bold">#1</li><li>#2</li></ul><table border=1><tr><td>table test</td></tr></table><span style="font-weight:bold">Site Visit Agenda</span><br/><span>8:00 AM</span><br/><span>Check in with management<br/>Facility Inspection<br/>Training and Meeting Setup</span></tr></table></body><html>
When I open the downloaded file, it opens in Outlook 2010, so that seems o.k. While the list stuff renders as I'd expect, the table border doesn't show, nor do either of the font-weight settings get rendered. (On the plus side, the html tags aren't rendered as text, it just doesn't format the alt desc like you'd see in a browser with the same HTML).
Of course, we're trying to figure out what HTML we can and cannot use to format the information we want to show up in the alt description.
Searching around, I can't find anything which talks about what's allowed and what isn't.
Thanks to anyone who has a pointer.
