HTML

[laceew45]

I am kinda a newbie at HTML but I know some. I want to know about Neopets and HTML.

 

Questions:

1) Can I put a form on a pet lookup?

2) Even if I can't put a form, I still want to know how do I get the info that people put in the form, to be sent to my email? (I have searched all of google for this and I am just super confused!)

3) I have problems with my background. I tried to create a pet lookup and everything was correct except when I used Dreamweaver to check my code, it showed the background, but when you viewed my pet lookup, the background had disappeared. How does that just happen?

1) Nope.

2) You can't on Neo. They are very strict when it comes to share a way to reach someone off site too. Words like email, msn, skype, and in some context facebook and twitter would earn you a warning if a moderator sees it.

3) Did you upload the background online? Was the URL blocked (see your code after submitting, if it says -blocked- then you probably need to upload it somewhere else, or with a different name.)

Ahh, I understand lol.

I used photo bucket lol

Also, I thought of another question for an HTML genius, like yourself, is there anyway that I can add a logo or copyright to my html pages so that no one can steal my pages, and if they do, it either gives them an ERROR or they get a big fat logo in their way? lol or if not that, they get a logo with my name in their layout?

Sometimes Neopets blocks photobucket, depending on your account name, folder name, image name etc. If you're having issues with photobucket, you can try imageshack. The links from imageshack are usually a bit shorter then those from photobucket, saving you precious characters on your pages. :)

I'm not sure how to make one image appear for a source url on your page and a different image to appear for the same url on another page, if that's what your asking. Another way you can do it though is to add your name somewhere on the images. When I make a lookup or a design that doesn't feature my name prominently, I usually try to add "Lookup by Lamppost" or something similar on the background image. Then if someone steals my image, at least I'll get credit.

No you wouldn't be able to prevent people form hotlinking your stuff on Neopets. It's not something the community has a tendency to do as a whole anyway.

 

In addition to placing a "Layout by Xepha" or "Lookup by Xepha" on images I make for Neopets, I put that text in the footer of my petpages:

<p align="center">Layout by <a href="http://neopets.com/userlookup.phtml?user=xepha'>http://neopets.com/userlookup.phtml?user=xepha">Xepha</a> | Artwork by <a href="http://neopets.com">Neopets</a><br>Thieves will gladly be reported because <a href="http://neopets.com/userlookup.phtml?user=nonstickglue">Nonstickglue</a> convinced me of the importance of copyrights ;p</p>

It's important to note that you cannot copyright Neopets artwork to yourself. They are allow us to use them without a credit notice on Neopets.com. The only thing you can own the rights are the code and any other images or photos you created from scratch. If you are borrowing from another user, always check what are their licences and terms and conditions.

 

Even though I have a very long and detailed FAQ on my premade user lookup page, some people still try to steal the code and replace the images with their own. And then they ask me if it's okay. It usually infuriates me and I report them.
