I'm making a website, and I'm sorta new to it (haven't published anything yet), and I can't seem to figure out how not to show the "xxx.html/php", so, instead of "domain.com/about.html", it would be "domain.com/about". I see a lot of websites doing this, but I can't seem to figure this out myself, or find a propper way to ask Google. Thank you.

Right now i am building out my first web page for a friend. She told me that she would like to be able to change infos and files like for example pictures or also the availabilty of her house in a calendar.
So my question is once the website is online how would i change things like that.
PS: Sorry for asking such a question on this platform since it seems most of the questions are purely reagrding coding, but I am new to the development world and I couldn't really find a good answer to that through google.
Hiyah!
I'm sorry for this strange post, just need help articulating my thoughts into something practical. I really could use an extension to basically select any part of the browser window and use it as a floating window (always on top of other windows).
It'd be awesome if something like this existed and I'd love a name in that case! If not, maybe any of you know of similar open source projects that I could take a look at? I'd try to write my own extension if there's nothing like that, so basically could use any keywords to simplify my research. I've been learning full stack web dev for a few months now, so I think it's in realm of possibilities for me.
Thanks for your time!
One of my clients has been encountering this issue when she goes onto the app. I was wondering if anyone had any idea how to get it to show normally? Im not sure if this is a code issue or her computer.
Everything is getting bunched together
Edit: I did not provide the code because it is very lengthy and I feel like there could be another answer that isn't linked to my code since it is only happening to that computer.
There really isn't a lot to go off of this. It could be as simple as changing the width of the input tag which would take almost no time to fix. If you're using bootstrap or some other framework maybe a class name is messed up somewhere in the html. It would be a lot easier to pinpoint what exactly the problem is if there were code to go along with it. Also there could be no problem with the code and could just simply be her machine, but there is still no way to figure that out without looking over it.
So I've started a web design course about 4 months ago, it's going smoothly and I'm really enjoying it. I'm trying to learn more in my own time and found tag while searching for something similair.
I don't fully understand it, but I think I get the grasp of it, so basically I'm asking if what I think the cords do is correct.
coords="x1,y1, x2,y2"
Does that create a box, which I can then use a so when it's pressed linked to another page?
I think you're a bit confused.
This function won't perform any doing. In fact, all that is a 'string'. Meaning, if you refer to cords, you will just find 'x1,y1, x2,y2' as the value.
If you're interested in linking content, use 'a' tags. Also, if you'd like to create a nice box, you're going to need some styling knowledge. Remember, as a web designer you create content for the web developer to put together. If you're looking into making the sites, look for a course in 'Web Development'.
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.
