sometimes I see a table column in html on webpage and I would like to copy it, is there such tool/extension that allow me to do this?
for example, I need a table with 2 columns and I would to copy just the first column.
Simple answer, yes, your mouse is the tool to use.
1) Highlight it (with your handy mouse) and either type Control + C or try right clicking and select copy.
2) paste it into excel / your spreadsheet program
3) remove the column you don't want.
you can use a firefox add-ons OutWit Hub It allows you to extract any web page information and export it to Excel Sheet.
there are many more softwares available on the internet for this purpose from which you can extract information (images, tables, data etc) from a web page.

Like here on Stack Overflow, when one asks a question, that question is now a tag of some page, is a new page created inside the the server with the name of the a tag so that search engines can find it, how does this work?
If no pages are created, where is this data of all the tags kept?
I see for this very page, Stack overflow haas this facebook tag.
<meta name="og:description" content="Like here on stack over flow, when one asks a question, that question is ">
The data is stored in a database.
The pages are generated by having the HTTP server invoke a piece of software which examines the URL, fetches the appropriate data from the database, and outputs some HTML.
There are numerous ways to do this including psgi, FastCGI, CGI, and wsgi.
that information used when you post a link to this page to facebook. just try it and you will see the result.

Let's say I log into facebook but I don't want the "likes" to appear when the page is rendering.
Again: I open a photo from my friend. Under the pic there's a element that says "Somefriend, someotherfriend and 123123 persons like this".
I don't want that to appear.
I think it can be achieved by writing some script (plugin, addon) for my browser, maybe in Firefox with firebug or in Chrome with it's built in code inspector...
Any suggestions?
Cheers
Yes, you can easily implement such functionality using browsers' extensions (add-ons). In order to do so, read their official tutorials. We can't give you exact solution because it differs among browsers. One thing will be similar though - they all use Javascript for page manipulation
Every browser comes with a built-in CSS style sheet. Simply goto the Developer Tools or press Ctrl-Shift-I on most browsers and check out the user agent stylesheet. The trick is to find this stylesheet in your installation folder and add whatever elements you want to hide and adding !important so it overrides everything.

I'm trying to figure out how to "store" simple text into a .txt file with html.
A Html form page, that you'd input "data/text" into, and it would post the text into the .txt file.
then later you can "get" the data you posted.
Im trying to do this without a server, all local. (No PHP).
Thanks
You can't. You can store data into a Cookie or the browser LocalStorage, but arbitrary filesystem writing isn't possible with just HTML.

So I have a file that's already constantly being update on my server, but the directory currently isn't in my wwwroot folder until I can actually meddle around in there to get the directory to change.
So question #1 is if it's possible for my site to actually access this file away from the wwwroot? If not, it's okay. I'll find some way to get it in there.
This is however the more important part of this question. The file in question is currently in .data extension and contains a field such as {"cpu":30,"ram":300000}. It's been updated in real time with an application in the background, but how would I get my web page to pull those data and display it? I only started learning HTML and CSS several days ago, so my knowledge is still pretty limited here.
I cannot understand your first question. :S Please, could you be more clear?
For the second one, to read the text file you need a javascript code. You can do that as follow:
1º Open the file: file = fopen(getScriptPath("myFile.txt"), 0);
2º Get the content of the file in a string: file_length = flength(file); content = fread(file, file_length);
3º Finally, you can get the part of the string you want by a regex.
Pulling data from external sources and displaying it in HTML is a very common practice the purpose of programming languages like PHP. You aren't going to be able to do it with just HTML/CSS. Stick to static (unchanging) pages until you've got HTML/CSS down, and then you can learn a scripting language to make dynamic pages.

I'm really not sure if that's the right place to ask it , but I'm so used to this site so i'll just give it a try.
I'm interviewing many people for a certion mission, and i'm looking for a an easy way to organize the people according to some properties (age, origin , hobbies, education etc'...).
I need a website which will allow me to insert new people using the properties I want to add, and in addition will allow me to sort or filter on different fields. (for example will show me only people above the age of 24).
It would be great if I'd be able to add a combo box, In addition to regular fields with a bunch of options lilke failed/passed/undecided and then filter based on that either.
I need a web based solution , cause I'm not the only person who will look throught the data and add/delete content.
Is there anything similar to that I can use ?
Thanks alot !!
Would Highrise suit your needs? They offer a free plan for up to 250 contacts. I'm not too familiar with it, but the API might do what you need.
