I want to make a website for my band to practice and learn new things. My band already has a site through wix. Is it possible to write a script on the new page to tell it look at the first pages html and load that then use css and js to restyle and add features? that way when the content on the first page changes it will be loaded into the second page.
I do web work and I have got this question a lot from people who use site builders.
All in all, Wix's does not have a way to export or download your source code, as for your website to work, it needs to be on Wix's servers. Wix is advertised as Software-As-A-Service. For Wix, they are a web hosting/building service.
If you were to make a program to see the source code, you would spend more time making the program then getting use out of it. I do not mean to be rude saying that, but there are easier ways of building the site.
For instance, If you want to build the site from scratch and want to have a web builder, you could look at using WordPress. It's free and open source. My website in my bio runs on WordPress and the User interface/editor is very user friendly!
If you did want to play around with it and get it locally set up on your computer, you can download XAMPP to act as a "host" for your "site" on the computer and let you edit your WordPress page.
How can I run WordPress locally on a computer?
Of course, if you do decide to publish your site, I would recommend Namecheap as I use their hosting services too! They have WordPress that comes with their host and is a 1-click install.
I apologize if I got wordy in my answer. I honestly hope this information helps! If you ever need help with your site, my site has my contact info!
P.S: Welcome to Stack overflow! Glad to see another user on here :)

I'm attempting to create my first ever full-blown website. The site will host a form that takes a user's link and scrapes the inputted website. Besides scraping, I'm also looking for click and input functionality (for future projects).
I managed to create a PhantomJS function that scrapes a website depending on the parameters. However, I have absolutely no idea how to implement this into my Xampp server which locally hosts my website...PhantomJS only runs off of a command line as far as I'm aware.
Is it even possible to host a PhantomJS program on a website? Should I be using something else, such as NodeJS or another language? Ultimately, I'll go learn anything in order to make this happen.
Any ideas/suggestions are much appreciated. I apologize if this question seems dumb.
I have a project that required to develop websites which allow admin users (who have no IT background) to edit content of the website (ex: post blog, edit title, update images, add more categories) on the website without coding. Is it possible to do it uses only front-end(html js) because the project is to add to a existing BIG ASP web app which i have no access (old developers left and the remain teams don't know what going on) and i have no experience with this kind of project before and have little times to do the project. Can you give me advice ?
No.
Front-end code runs in the browser.
The browser is under the control of the visitor, not the site owner.
The browser does not have the power to freely edit websites so that other people can see the changes.
If it did, Google.com would be defaced approximately once every half second.
You need to do this on the server.

Hire the old developers back as contractors until they've transferred enough knowledge about the system so you can do any future work. Don't let the skills leave the organisation without a knowledge transfer again.
I want to create a website (using HTML, CSS and JavaScript/Jquery) for a blogger. However, she intends to change the content and color of the page pretty frequently, without asking for my help everytime.
I know how to create Login credentials to allow a specific user to modify the page (background or innerHTML), but I do not know how to upload these changes to the server directly from the website page.
Any help would be great.
It might be worth looking into getting a content management system like Wordpress (PHP) or Umbraco (C#.net), you can code the site design then she can log in and change the content. You will have to code in functionality to change colours and whatever else she needs.
The best way to go about this would probably be to use an existing CMS (Content Management System), like Wordpress or Joomla. You will have to research the options yourself.
Even this might be overkill if all she wants is a blogging tool, it all depends on the requirements (maybe a custom theme for a bogging site would do). In any case, while it is certainly not as much fun as building something new, the existing CMS tools and blogging tools have been around for a long time and has been meeting the needs of bloggers and people who need to update websites without technical skill for a very long time.
So, my recommendation is to find a good tool, get yourself acquainted with it and learn how to customize it to fit your clients' needs, then use that.
I am currently developing a website which it can create an examination and generate the exam result using php and html canvas. I am now puzzled on what my next step will be. I really need a sample website that can be my basis in making my own. How will I download the entire website code and the database?
to get the database out, you will need to export the content of database into a file. Look into myslqdump command, if you are using mysql.
To move whole website, you will need to ftp the root directory (probably compressing it first, maybe with tar) where all your css, javascript and HTML files are. Same applies to PHP scripts.
But to be a cool kid, you will need to store your files in some sort of Source Code Version Control system, such as GIT or SVN. Then its just a matter of checking out your branch on another machine.
You can not download server side code and database of any website until you are a genius hacker who can hack into the desired system and get access to all the things you need.
Breaking into any system is illegal and as per your country law you can be jailed or fined a huge amount.
If any can download my code then world don't need any more programmers and software developer as they could download some ones software and just modify it.
I would suggest you better start coding to complete your project or start hacking to steal it.
You can't - unless you have full access to the server.
I strongly advise to create yourself a github account and search for open source php apps, from which you can learn a lot.
As my understanding after read your question, if you meant to download some online web and its database then it is not ethical but still there are some other ways to accomplish your need.
Here in Github, there are lot of apps availble as you need
Also there are a lot of resources and frameworks available all you have to do is google your need
So first of pardon me for being really noobish at this. I'm trying to build a site from an HTML5 template for a small music company I work with for fun and educational reasons. I have very limited knowledge of Web development, but I am able to edit the template and have done quite a bit of reading to try to understand how everything works. I find that it's much easier to do so than having to build it from scratch, which could take months to do so properly. (Not to say I don't want to learn, but I'd like to get this done quickly if I can).
So let me get right to it, and I'll try to be short. The company is a music promotion company. They need the following pages: about, team, in-house musician bios, blog, contact form and events. I have pretty much everything figured out (the blog and musicians currently need to be properly finished in terms of content and CSS), except for the events page.
Currently its a static album that pulls images link by link from a Google Drive folder instead of the Web server (For ease of access). The issue with this is that every time an event is outdated or new ones need to be added, I have to manually update the index file and change the links, which is time consuming and unnecessary. I want this site to be fairly autonomous, so that I don't have to log into the server every few days and change the index file over and over. I hope you understand where I am coming from.
So, my idea is to use the same Drive folder, but have the site automatically pull the images, properly resize them (if possible) and show them on the page. I haven't found an easy solution to this yet, and with my lack of web experience, I don't think I can write this myself. I know self updating albums that pull form the server exist and can be found online, but those still require FTP access, which is not bad, but can be improved on.
So the process I think is as follows
Fetch images from shared drive folder via Drive API
Fetch individual image link
Insert each link dynamically into an array/table.
Have individual row/column resize the image.
Here is what the site I am working on currently looks like: http://rushone2010.x10host.com/ocml
And here is their current site: http://www.ocmusicleague.com/
The culprit is in the idea of automatically fetching the images every time they get updated/removed from the Drive folder, without server access. Sort of reminds me of this:
