I'm looking for a javascript or a html code which allows my website to sure the most poluar game for the week or month
 
I just get more and more confused every time I read that sentence. What are you trying to do?
 
:confused:

i'm baffled by the question too. could you go into a little more detail about what you're trying to do? Or maybe show us a website that does something similar?

nah, you should have seen his other thread.



Noobkiller, you will not do this with html...you will not do this with javascript (at least the backend)...you will need php/asp.net or something as well as a data source (SQL server if you are gathering your own information).
 
Wow dude, you should work a little harder on the basics before jumping to pulling in content and outputing it with some control. No harm intended honestly, but I am not sure you are ready to think on that level.

That just makes me even more sure it's a joke. This guy is just some troll trying to get a rise out of people. It's impossible to end up with something that looks so hideous by accident. All it needs now is hundreds of animated GIFs.

U know what. This not a f-ing joke. I work hard on the freaking website. I have limited sources, I don't have dreamweaver so shut up about that. second i'm new to web design peroid. so get off about it should look professional.
 
killer, I think you need to sit down and think about your audience. Those that play games from 12 to...say...45 years old. To become a major player in the gaming industry, you need to appeal to that wide of a demographic. What we are seeing is a page designed by a beginner that appears to be directed at the lower end of the spectrum above.

While you may want to develop something as big as this...start out small. make yourself a homepage that is dynamic. practice with the features before you try to go big. it is the only way to go.

your coding software has nothing to do with it. I've coded webpages with TextPad...it wasn't fun, but it was all I had. FrontPage is fine, just don't rely on the WSIWYG.

And as I've said in the previous thread...look at other sites. nothing is obnoxious about them. Hopefully you get a chance to take some usability classes if/and/or/when you go to college.

Well, if you're really serious, then let me give you some constructive help:

1. Your color scheme is hard on the eyes. Choose a darker red (like the maroon they use here) or come up with something new.

2. All of your images are way too large. Your header takes up like a 3rd of the page for no reason. Shrink it and use the space for more content.

3. Don't use so many fonts. I can count 5 different ones on the front page alone.

4. Don't rely on Frontpage's WYSIWYG editor. If you're serious about your website, learn HTML and really code it.

I have some appending ..... actuallly a lot, but here's the kicker ....... once you do all of that, then worry about pulling info from elsewhere using SSI languages like php/perl and potentially RSS feeds.
 
You need to learn to write code not use a WYISWG editor in my opinion. I do all my pages in Textpad. Using div, tables, and CSS is the way to go. You should try learning the basic functions that you can do with javascript before trying to the advanced stuff. Your first problem is getting the data. Are you going to constantly update a database with the current best sellers or pull the information form somewhere else? If you want it to be automatic you will need to learn PERL so you can pull the data from somewhere, write a program that gathers the correct data, and then the rest is easy. Hook up the data to get outputted to a file then read that file with PHP and using the print function to print it back out. HTML cant do that and I have never used javascript for file input/output if it can.
 
in an attempt to be as restrained as possible, for an initial suggestion, get all of your content into a window that doesn't need scrolling. ie: if you maximize your browser on your page, you should see everything on he page.

Start there, with the formatting and then come back :) server-side coding is, right now, the least of your worries
 
Something no one's mentioned yet -

The "most popular game" if you're measuring by # of copies sold, gross sales $, etc is going to be something like The Sims 2 or Rollercoaster Tycoon. :rolleyes: So, if your target audience is "gamers" then you'll need to find some other way of measuring "popularity."
