I want to add a calendar to my website and mark my events on it, using html5
like the example below.
what I found on the net is this code:
<iframe id='cv_if5' src='http://cdn.instantcal.com/cvir.html?id=cv_nav5&file=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.instantcal.com%2Ftest.ics&theme=XGY&ccolor=%23ffffc0&dims=1>ype=cv_monthgrid&gcloseable=0&gnavigable=1&gperiod=month&itype=cv_simpleevent' allowTransparency=true scrolling='no' frameborder=0 height=600 width=800></iframe>
but how to generate a file contain my events? I have tried to generate an ics file using outlook but it didn't work!
The example:
The best way to do this would be to use an existing API. Something like google calendars. There is a very large amount of code behind what you are trying to do and as a web developer im lazy when it comes to writing code so I just use what is already out there, instead of reinventing the wheel.
I hope this helps!

I want to embed this a-frame project to my portfolio on Squarespace (most basic plan) like what a-frame shows in their embedded page but I'm not even sure if it's possible? I'm also super new to coding so let me know if I should provide more info. If people can also explain things in baby language that would be awesome thanks
embedding remote a-scene?
if you want to link your existing project to a different page then... I don't think it's possible. Look:
the documentation page uses a real a-scene there, with a-boxes and stuff.
It may be possible via iframes but I don't know if it works. There is something like this in the documentation:
For now, if the I-Frame is not on the same origin as the page, the WebVR polyfill for mobile won’t work and there won’t be any tracked rotation of the device. - source
embedded
embedded is used to create a smaller window of a-scene inside a standard HTML page. As far as I know, it just sets or changes some CSS values. Unfortunately, there is nothing like a magical src attribute that would allow you to fetch a different scene from another page
If you can upload a static HTML file onto Squarespace then by all means you can embed it there. But remember that
Only one <a-scene> can exist on a page - same source
You would need to copy your entire project a-scene and paste it into your Squarespace page. Add A-Frame script in header or link a js file and all standard stuff.
link
this may not be what you are looking for but you could potentially create an embeded a-frame scene that would have a link inisde that would "teleport" you (change location) to your project. link - A-Frame
I want to add a stream to my webpage.
It should show a programm from my PC. I know that I can use OBS for streaming but I do not know how to implement the streamed data to my page.
Do you have any advices?
(A tutorial would already help, but I couldn't find anything)
Thank you very much!
Taka
EDIT:
Okay the backend is actually unavailable for me. Because it is using a thirdparty service.
My goal is that the frontend displays a stream of my programm that is running on my pc.
I hope this is giving you a better idea.
The easiest way and the way I would do it is just stream to twitch.tv and and embed the player into your site like so:
<iframe
src="http://player.twitch.tv/?<channel, video, or collection>"
height="<height>"
width="<width>"
frameborder="<frameborder>"
scrolling="<scrolling>"
allowfullscreen="<allowfullscreen>">
</iframe>
(For more info on using this check this out: https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/v5/guides/embed-video)
If you don't want to take this step then as people were saying in the comments you can't do that with just html.
I have created a custom Google map, and follow all instructions like share it to everyone (public) and try to embed on my website via iframe.
Here you can see the iframe:JSFiddle
<iframe src="https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/embed?mid=z76-dWS2uqvM.kbKEneg2wOL0" width="640" height="480"></iframe>
It looks ok, when the user is logged-in into the Google account, but if you try to open it in Firefox (logged-out) it returns an empty iframe.
So, when I embed this on my website, people cannot see it. How to make this working, and how to display this multiple pin map to everyone who enters my website?
Unfortunately, this is an old issue which still shows up sometimes. But, try out the steps mentioned in this link. If that doesn't help either, give this a try. And if you're doing this by using the Maps API, this might help. Hopefully one of these helps.
I simply want to embed a PDF file in a web site.
The best solution I've found is Google Docs Viewer (http://docs.google.com/viewer), but it does not work for IE and obviously that is not going to work for me.
Anyone have a clean, easy solution to this?
Update: I should add that one of the benefits of embedding the PDF file the Google viewer way is that as the PDF file I link to gets updated (and it could without notice to me), my site would automatically be holding the same PDF file (provided the full pathname doesn't change, which it does not). For this reason converting the file to an image is not preferred while.
Well since you obviously don't want to force someone to download the bloated insecure pdf plugin, why not let them use the bloated insecure flash player?
http://flexpaper.devaldi.com/
But really it is just a simple as
<iframe src="path/to/pdf" width="500" height="700">
If you do stick with the pdf embedded option, Byron is right although embedded pdf files don't look so great on a webpage. Anyway, be sure to be strict about the coding. Hence:
<iframe src="path/to/pdf" width=500 height = 700>
Should be
<iframe src="path/to/pdf" width="500" height="700">
Small alteration.
Updated answer for HTML5:
<object data="filename.pdf" type="application/pdf">
Your browser does not support pdfs, <a href="filename.pdf">click here to
download the file.</a>
</object>
You can read about it here:
http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_object.asp
How long is the pdf file? Can't you convert it to a very long image and display that in a div with a scrollbar?
Probably the best approach is to use the PDF.JS library. It's a pure HTML5/JavaScript renderer for PDF documents without any third-party plugins.

You can also use Google PDF viewer for this purpose. As far as I know it's not an official Google feature (am I wrong on this?), but it works for me very nicely and smoothly. You need to upload your PDF somewhere before and just use its URL:
<iframe src="http://docs.google.com/gview?url=http://example.com/mypdf.pdf&embedded=true" style="width:718px; height:700px;" frameborder="0"></iframe>
I just ftp mine, I do not use Google or any other s/w
you must have some need other than a PDF file sitting in a directory, what is it?
Also, why would you convert the image (and reduce PDF resolution and clarity) ?
Response to Comments
That is the ugliest thing I have seen since my last trip to Africa. You are not seriously thinking of posting that much information on a single page, are you. No one can read it, and I tried every magnification.
For that amount of info, you need to take an architectural approach.
Put a few controls on the front page, and feed the user a small amount of manageable info, about the area that they chose. Only.
Get the info from the source website/database and feed it into your website/database. Only needs to change when the source data changes. The whole linkage can be automated.
Then you just create nice clean pages, with a reasonable quantity of info, in a readable form, on each page.
This is a 20th Century Timetable. Note, not a 21st century timetable (look at Berlin or München for one of those). You really can't just scan an intense doc and provide it as an embedded PDF.
Note that you do not need the elaborate controls of CityRail. you can have just a few to allow select of the line and timetable.
then produce a page that is a simple form of the CityRail page.
or (the absolute minimum) one fully viewable, full size PDF per web page.
.
Like this simple viewable PDF. That example could be served up in one PDF for page 1 and 4 separate PDF pages for the rest; PDFs already have basic navigation, so I have used that feature and produced one 5-pager instead. Make sure you find and use the blue glass buttons and follow the navigation hints on the left top and bottom of each page.
Second to demonstrating the PDFs and navigation, look at the folder: the files are all PDFs.
Back to the original question. Now you can embed PDFs, but if you do, please do not mess with them. All the controls you have on the linked page are redundant; any browser facilitiates that even now, and will be doing so better in future. Eg. in simple viewable PDF, use your browser controls to increase/decrease magnification, move around the doc, etc.
Let's assume you finish your Google Maps page, that's the first or index page. Draw all the train lines in; when the user clicks on a train line, it takes them to either (a) a clean page produced from your db as per (1) which will look like (2), or (b) a single clean PDF in readable form as per (3). You could do the whole project just by manipulating files in directories.
A lot less work. No Google docs; no intermediate s/w to constrict you or work around. You can forget about IE and its multiple incarnations and strangulations; any other browser and its limitations. Concentrate on the data, and getting it out there in presentable form, not on the pitiful s/w and its fits and starts.
Cheers

Google Docs offers an undocumented feature that lets you embed PDF files and PowerPoint presentations in a web page. The files don't have to be uploaded to Google Docs, but they need to be available online.
Here's the code I used to embed the PDF file:
but you should replace the bold URL with your own address. As I mentioned, the document viewer works for PDF and PPT files.

Gmail just released an update to their interface allowing the user to select more than one file for upload by using the CTRL-button. How do they do that? You can read about the new feature and see a screen shot here:
http://gmailblog.blogspot.com/2009/02/updates-to-attachments-multi-select-and.html
You will need to find flash-based sollution, like Google did with Gmail. You can try this jQuery plugin that offers exactly that: jQuery File Upload Plugin
Adobe Flash Player.
Here's a good library that I used: SWFUpload
Of course this is a JavaScript library, and not a jQuery plug-in, making it much more portable.
Take a look at RFC 1867 It defines how to upload files over HTTP using the multipart/mixed encoding. You can use the Apache Commons FileUpload library to do this in Java. I don't know how Google does it, but you can manage the multiple selects with JavaScript processing in your page.
Not the method Gmail uses, but the following link, combined with some jquery you can allow an unlimited number of files to be uploaded at the same time: Link
Google isn't using Flash, but actually some clever javascript (well, that IS what they're all about it seems :-) ). Using javascript and css, you can create a file chooser that lets the user select the file to upload. Then, you use a hidden iframe. The act of posting the form with your upload file targets the hidden iframe so that the result returned from the server on success goes into that hidden iframe. Using javascript, monitor the document body of that iframe to know when the file is uploaded.
This link appears to be a quick example of the basic concept: http://www.seemysites.net/projFolder/uploader/
