Random quote alignment

Okay, if you go here, you'll see that in the Wise Words pane, there is a quote, which is neatly aligned with the rest of the panes.

Now this quote basically stays the same each time you view the page. I wanted different quotes to show up every time.

So I got this:

Code:
<SCRIPT>
/*
Script obtained from Wsabstract.com
For this script and more
Visit Java-Scripts.net or Wsabstract.com
*/

quote0= "Life is like a box of chocolates.";
quote1= "Java-Scripts.net is like a box of coco pops. ";
quote2= "I have no idea what I am saying. ";

var ran_unrounded=Math.random()*2;
var ran_number=Math.round(ran_unrounded);

document.write(eval("quote"+ran_number));
</SCRIPT>
Here's the code for my Wise Words thingy:

Code:
div class="sidebox">
				<h1>Wise Words</h1>
			
				<p>&quot;All one really needs to achieve something is practice, and the right tools.&quot;</p>		
			
				<p class="align-right">- Me, <a href="http://www.novahq.net/">novahq.net</a></p>
		
			</div>
Now the problem is, is that for the random quote code I got, the text is not aligned properly like how it's shown currently on my page.

I've tried several ways to fix this, but no luck.

If someone could help, that would be totally awesome.

Thanks guys.

Chris

if you want every thing centered:

add an align=center to the div opening tag - like so

Code:
div class="sidebox" align="center">
				<h1>Wise Words</h1>
			
				<p>"All one really needs to achieve something is practice, and the right tools."</p>		
			
				<p class="align-right">- Me, <a href="http://www.novahq.net/">novahq.net</a></p>
		
			</div>
for just the quote it self

add align="center" to your opening <p> tag for the quote:

Code:
<p align="center">"All one really needs to achieve something is practice, and the right tools."</p>

I tried doing that to this but it disappeared:

Code:
				<SCRIPT>
				/*
				Script obtained from Wsabstract.com
				For this script and more
				Visit Java-Scripts.net or Wsabstract.com
				*/

				<p class="align-right">quote0= "Life is like a box of chocolates.";</p>
				quote1= "Java-Scripts.net is like a box of coco pops. ";
				quote2= "I have no idea what I am saying. ";

				var ran_unrounded=Math.random()*2;
				var ran_number=Math.round(ran_unrounded);

				document.write(eval("quote"+ran_number));
				</SCRIPT>
Doesn't really matter really, but big thanks for the help.

Also, one more question shall do (I really hate asking lots of questions to someone - as long as you're happy answering it, I'm happy too).

I have this search box code here:

Code:
		<div class="searchform">
			<form action="#">
				<p>
				<input name="search_query" class="textbox" type="text" />
  				<input name="search" class="button" value="Search" type="submit" />
				</p>
			</form>			
		</div>
Unfortunately, it doesn't work (or so I think?). I just get redirected to the same existing page when I use it. I'm assuming it's the <form action="#"> (seeing it's a got a hash meaning it's null?). I put in something like index.htm replacing the hash but no luck.

If you could help getting it to work, that would be awesome.

Chris

Lol I don't mind answering questions - Though to be honest why wait for a responce when a google search could give you the answer quicker?


For your quotes you want to write out the <p align="center"> code with the qoute

So either something like

quote0="<p align='center'>My qoute</p>";

document.write(quote0);

(notice that I used in the align code in text for the variable)

Or

document.write('<p align="center">' + quote0 + '</p>');



For the search engine you need something in the action attribute so it knows what to do with it.

for example: a simple form to display a name using php:

html page form
Code:
<form action="submit.php" method="get">
<input name="p_name" type="text" />
<input type=submit />
</form>
submit.php code:

Code:
<?php
$p_name=$_GET["p_name"];

echo "Hello $p_name";
?>
I don't know if javascript can do a search - would need more info on exactly what your trying to do...


I have only ever used php for form actions - you may want to read up on html forms.

I know javascript can read the arguments passed to the page via the query string.

K thanks man.

Google? Sometimes I use it, sometimes I don't. I don't always get the exact answer I need sometimes anyway with Google.
