I've just created the bootstrap navbar on my website and I have the trouble with my url...
For example I have something like this:
<div class="navbar-collapse collapse">
<ul class="nav navbar-nav navbar-right">
<li>
<a data-toggle="collapse" data-target=".navbar-collapse" href="#about">
About
</a>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
And my website url looks like this: "something.html#about"
I would like to remove the #about from the url. I read that I should remove? the href from this li item, and put the #about in data-target but it doesn't work for me. What is the easiest way to fix this? Thanks for any respond.
you can use data-target instead of href. It will help you to get rid of #about from the browser URL.
So instead of
href="#about"
use
data-target="#about"
I assume you are a beginner in HTML and how web pages work.
The href attribute of the HTML element a(nchor) defines the hyperlink. The "#something" points to an ID within a HTML web page. It is accessible by the JavaScript on the specific page.
In this case, your href points to the current page as no other page is referenced (the href has nothing like href="otherPage.html#about").
It might be needed by the bootstrap framework. There is nothing wrong with it. Embrace it, it is part of the internet and how browsers work.

I am having an issue where I believe Angular2 is interfering with how it handles normal anchor tags in HTML. I have several links within the page under "Content2" with attempts in referencing sections of that page.
<div id="navigation">
<a [routerLink]="['#section01']" fragment="section01" style=background:magenta>Section 1</a><br/>
<a [routerLink]="['#section02']" fragment="section02" style=background:cyan>Section 2</a><br/>
<a href="#section03" style=background:yellow>section 3</a><br/>
<a href="#section04" style=background:red>section 4</a><br/>
<a [routerLink]="['/content02']" fragment="section05" style=background:green>Section 5</a><br/>
</div>
My goal is to allow the navigation bar to serve as a navigation tool that sits outside of the HTML I am trying to call, but is still able to directly link sections within the HTML, in this case to Content2.
Here's the Plunker to my predicament:
https://next.plnkr.co/edit/MFtSgY0e57nAG6D5
I have even tried to reference the HTML with a direct routerLink from the navigation bar but it will not comply. I'm sure I am missing something very fundamental to Angular2 routing. Or perhaps I'm missing how the routes should have been structured in the first place.
I am using Twitter Bootstrap for a project.
I have a widget type list-group, which is a list of elements that are used for navigation.
For some reason I can't make those links to work. Although the correct link appears when hovering, they don't take me there.
I created a fiddle to ilustrate the problem.
Can anyone help?
Regards.
When you specify http in the link it will not work in an https site.
Have a look at Bootstrap's documentation for list-group. When I put your links into a UL, things seem to work:
<ul class="list-group">
<li><a
href="http://www.google.com"
class="list-group-item active"
>External link not working</a></li>
<li><a
href="#my_local_anchor"
class="list-group-item active">
Internal link not working
</a> </li>
</ul>
I checked the internal link and it worked when yo use your anchor as an ID
<h1 id="my_local_anchor">
And the external link worked when I added:
<a href="https://www.google.com" target="_blank">
Which opens the link in a new tab which is usually better as your website will keep a presence in the users browser
Never put http protocols in the href for many reasons, one of which the protocol might be the wrong one ! (http vs https).
As for the internal link it is working properly in the JSfiddle once you actually create an element with that id.
Plus the list group should be in a LIST not a bunch of divs
<div id="navbar" class="navbar-collapse collapse">
<ul class="nav navbar-nav">
<li>Tutorial</li>
<li>Blog</li>
<li>About</li>
<li>Contact</li>
</ul>
</div>
I have the above nav bar in my website, which includes couple pages.
The thing is, whenever I create new page, I manually have to enter all nav bar stuff over and over again.
So was wondering, if there are any sort of template I can wrap my nav, and use that template for other pages, so I just need to change the one template file, instead of changing whole stuff in each pages.
I found sth called template tag, but not sure how I'm suppose to use it.
You can do this using jQuery. Create separate page for NAV. Ex: header.html.
Then include your header nav in header.html page. Then create and 'id' in the page you want to get the menu. Here I am using a div that id called main-menu. Then using jQuery you can add your html menu to relevant page.
$("#main-menu").load("header.html");
Here is a code snippet. Use loading script always below the jQuery.
// Get nav to the page
$('#main-menu').load('header.html');
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div id="main-menu"></div>
Quick and easy way would be to save that code as something like header.html and then inlcude it in all the other pages. Which can be done using jQuery or JavaScript, see this SO question for how.
Is there a way to link to a form using only HTML/CSS? I am still a beginner in web dev and have not yet started on JavaScript or JQuery.
So what I want to do is,
<div>
<ul>
<a href="??" target="_parent">
<li class="toggle1">Guest</li>
</a>
<a href="??">
<li class="toggle2">Owner</li>
</a>
</ul>
</div>
...in the tags in the I want to link to a form which has elements like First name, Last name etc, such that when I click on "Guest" the form for the guest should appear and likewise for "Owner"
There is! Make the href tags to #guestform and #ownerform. Then, make each form's id attribute those values (guestform and ownerform). This looks like so:
<div>
<ul>
<a href="#guestform">
<li class="toggle1">Guest</li>
</a>
<a href="#ownerform">
<li class="toggle2">Owner</li>
</a>
</ul>
</div>
<form id="guestform">...</form>
<form id="ownerform">...</form>
Then, in the css, do the following:
form {
display:none;
}
form:target {
display:block;
}
Hope this helped you!
EDIT: As sdcr said, the a tag should be inside the li, and not the other way around for it to be semantically correct. It should be like this instead
<div>
<ul>
<li class="toggle1">
Guest
</li>
<li class="toggle2">
Owner
</li>
</ul>
</div>
I may have misinterpreted your answer based on the lack of information given.
If you don't care who the end user is, and make both forums accessable to them no matter if they're a guest or owner, you'd simply create another HTML document and link to that document (provided that your web server can serves "static" content).
For instance, say you created another file called owner_form.html and somewhere within the body, you had:
<form>
...
</form>
From your index.html you could link to owner_form.html via a <a> tag like this:
... Contents that will redirect you
(old answer)
No, this is not possible in only HTML and CSS. Not even (securely & validly) with JavaScript.
HTML and CSS don't have the ability to differentiate the client using the page on their own. And JavaScript can't securely do this either.
You should look into server-side programming. This is where the magic would happen for you. You can try many different frameworks / scripting languages that have web-server functionality to them, for instance, some of the popular ones are:
Ruby on Rails
PHP
NodeJS
Django
I'm very confused about how linking to an element within a page works. I'm learning the starter template for Twitter Bootstrap, and it contains the following code in the navbar:
<ul class="nav navbar-nav">
<li class="active">Home</li>
<li>About</li>
<li>Contact</li>
</ul>
I understand that within the list elements are anchor tags to #about and #contact, but where is the content defined for this? In the example site, the .starter-template div stays the same whenever I click the navbar buttons. What do I have to do to change the div whenever a navbar button is clicked? I tried doing this, but it just made a giant link as you would expect:
<a name="about">
<div class="container">
<div class="starter-template">
<h1>About.</h1>
<p class="lead">#about</p>
</div>
</div>
</a>
Thank you for any help!

The links are placeholders. If you want to keep them the same, such as #about, you'd want to define an element in your page with that ID. For example, make a longer page, and include the following tag:
<h1 id="about">Here's the About Content</h1>
Clicking the link will jump to that spot in the page.
Wikipedia uses this approach to jump to sections in an article. For example, inspect the <span> tag containing the "See Also" text here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twitter_Bootstrap#See_also
However, since they are placeholders in the Bootstrap template, the idea is that you'll put in your own links as you see fit. For example, if you wanted to add a link to Yahoo, you'd enter your own HREF, like so:
Yahoo
Or target any other link in your site.
They're just placeholders. And if you want those targets to exist, you have to create the pages at the URLs they point to.
Such hash links can behave a little differently if you're developing a Single-page Application (SPA), but I think I've covered the simpler answer to what's confusing you. I.e., hash links attempt to jump to an ID within the page, but an element with that ID needs to exist for anything noticeable to occur.
This behavior is built into HTML; it's not something unique to using Bootstrap.
