@scottalanmiller any pointers? guides? lol been a while since i've done anything HTML

scottalanmiller

It would be in the JavaScript to set and determine what is displayed. It would depend if you are going to code it yourself or if you want to use a library for it.

oh Java, time to get the books out lol.

Definitely no Java. Java and JavaScript are totally unrelated and Java has no place in web page design. JavaScript is part of HTML now.

scottalanmiller

JQuery, for example, has a library for this.

Thanks Scott, will have to read up tonight if i can keep eyes open lol

I have asked the question if it can be done in PHP and CCS

Sure, can be done there too. Better to do it there as if you do it in HTML you have to send all of the different languages to the browser and let it decide what to display which will slow down rendering. It would be very silly to do it in HTML, you wouldn't only do that in a situation where you needed to have only a single URL (why) and when you must use static pages and not dynamic ones (no PHP.)

CSS would not be involved no matter what. It's JavaScript that enables it if done in HTML, it's PHP that would do it if done on the server.

jQuery would make this really easy.

Probably still easier than building your own system for this, though.

Problem is i can't upload any extra files, all i can do is edit the source code of the HTML page.

There's a hosted version of jQuery...

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.2.0/jquery.min.js"></script>

You should be able to include that at the top of the html and be done.

That's good, keeps you from uploading things that you shouldn't

hobbit666

OK so not having the best of luck lol. This is what i need to do.
When you go to this site
http://www.somewebserver.com/index.html

you will see:-

If you click on the ENG button or Flag (not decided yet), it will display:-

I can't upload any files or folders to the webserver i can only edit index.html code

scottalanmiller

Yup, we figured that that was what you needed. JQuery is the best way to do this.

<div id='divEnglish' style='display:none'>

<div id='otherLanguage' style='display:none'>

</div>

<a id='cmdEnglish' href='#'>Click Here for English</a><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>
<a id='cmdOther' href='#'>Click Here for Other Language</a><br><br>


<script>
//This is the javascript where the magic happens
$('#cmdEnglish').click(function () {
 $('#divEnglish').show()
 $('#otherLanguage').hide()
})

//This is the javascript where the magic happens
$('#cmdOther').click(function () {
 $('#divEnglish').hide()
 $('#otherLanguage').show()
})

That's what i've been looking for but all the examples i was finding showed extra CSS files and .json files etc, so i got confused lol
