I am trying to insert PowerPoint slides into HTML preserving links in the PowerPoint slide. I was just wondering if any of you knew a good method to maybe exporting a PowerPoint slide to an HTML and then displaying it in a div on your page, with a link to say do a JavaScript function on that same page.
I've never used it, but PPT2HTML might help. There's also this blog that describes how to save your presentation for the web then modify it.
This isn't exactly what you're after, but there are some html-based presentation tools like S5, DOMSlides you might want to consider as they wouldn't suffer from being translated.
You can use the jQuery plugin called PPTXjs.
This plugin convert pptx to html using javascript only (no server side code needed).
It is based on PPTX2HTML but support a lot more shapes, media (audio, video) and more.
Using:
$("#result").pptxToHtml({
pptxFileUrl: "path/to/slide.pptx"
});
For more details : https://github.com/meshesha/PPTXjs.
1)u can convert it to flash swf
2)convert all slides to an image file and then add 2 buttons(Back,Next) with calling the next and previous images based on an integer variable and this buttons will show u the previous and next slides :)
sorry but u cant embed it without copying all the Powerpoint-exported HTML code in your div tag
Though not quite what you asked, Google Docs or Slideshare both let you embed Powerpoint as flash - perhaps that would be a more elegant way to do this. That is, if embedding is the aim!
I remember there was a function in PowerPoint to export it to an HTML, I would do that and then have it in the page using an <iframe> and then put that inside a <div>

Is there any way to programmatically create (client or server side (PHP)) a image from a specific DIV or a complete (web) page? I'm currently creating a web-site for free coupons and the idea is when the end-user clicks on the "Print" button, the app opens a new tab/window with all the selected coupons as a single image (JPG, PNG or etc..) in A4 format ready for printing. Each coupons has it's own data (Article name, price, description etc..) so I need it to be done programmatically over a coupon-template I designed.
I do not ask you to write code for me, just to suggest a solution I could use/develop. If not already exist, I will upload/publish it for free :)
Update: I did it with the PHP GD library :) Still not satisfied with the idea to use Images instead of PDF, because each printing results with different Coupon sizes (images) on different PC's. That's why PDF may would be a better solution. You can see/test it on demo.svikuponi.ba - Just select a few Coupons and click the PRINTAJ button above.
You cannot create image from div for sure but yes you can create dynamic images in php using its gd library.
Following links will help:
http://php.net/manual/en/function.imagecreate.php
http://phptutorial.info/learn/create_images/
Here is a great way for you to create images on the client side: http://smus.com/screen-capture-for-chrome-os
You can take this and create a web app that will work nicely on webkit (for other browsers - I'll look at JS polyfills).
Did anyone mention html2canvas and/or jsfeedback ?
It create a page screenshot completely in javascript, then you can send to the server via ajax..
Obviously, CSS support lack some things.
In php, there is many image related functions like imagettftext() in GD library
for details, check this out http://php.net/manual/en/book.image.php
if GD is not enough, you can try imagick as well
for the template, you can try creating a true color handle in php from your file(image) and add the text part or something else with all kinds of effects and bar codes etc.
but in your case, i would suggest dynamic PDF creation since it would better with formatting instead of plain image, the pdf lib :
http://www.fpdf.org/
you could easily have a background image of your token/voucher and overlay the text using some php variables.
i believe it is possible to create a unique bar-code with php imaging too.
It is possible to get a screenshot from a webpage, but this is quite a hassle. You need to start a webbrowser to render the page and get a screenshot from that.
You are probably better of by parsing some specification and feeding it to a couple of GD or Imagick functions. This is less versatile, but easier to manage.
I apologize for the basic question but I am new to programming and I cannot find the answer to my question in the tutorials I have. I have developed a HTML/CSS page for a project due in two days. I would like users to click an object on the page to access a presentation (which will play full screen). At the end of the presentation the user should be returned to my HTML page.
Can this be done using Javascript with HTML? If so, how?
Will I need to convert the presentations into mp4s?
Thanks, Amit.
You can do 2 things,
1.- you can convert the pptx to a mp4 an playit in fullscreen or
2.- you can use a presentation js framework to help you with that (you will not use a fullscreen)
http://lab.hakim.se/reveal-js/#/13 here is the link to a presentation js framework =)
(this is the first one i click in google results but i guess you can get anothers, there are few of it)
I can not gess your code, but I think, what you are looking for is here:

What I Want: Very simply I have a C program that generates a variable periodically, I want to be able to display this value on a website.
Restrictions: The webpage is HTML, php does not work, javascript does [I have tried a few javascript solutions but they have all been long, tedious and in the end ineffective] I want it to be able to format the text so that it matches the rest of the webpage. Above all I'd really like to find something simple that works.
Freedoms: I can output the variable from my C program to just about any file type and content that I want, the file is hosted so is available locally to the server or online for the client.
Preferred Solutions: I am currently playing around with the object and iframe tags native to html. They give a nice simple input:
<object height=20 width=75 type='text/plain' border=0 data="URL/filename.txt"></object>
inserts the contents of my file, but it can't be formatted so I am stuck with 12pt Courier font which is not acceptable. Using
<iframe seamless height=20 width=75 scrolling='no' src="URL/filename.htm"></iframe>
and adding my desired font/colour/size etc to the htm file gets me the right text style, but htm has a large amount of white padding around it which I can't seem to get rid of so I have to make my iframe quite large for the text to be displayed, but then it doesn't fit smoothly with other text.
So anyone that can answer one of four questions:
How to remove excess padding from htm
How to format the style of a html object
Is there anything in Java as simple as the php [so apparently it doesn't show php code even when you quote it as code. But basically using echo and get_file_contents to insert the contents of a txt file into a html page]
Propose an alternate solution
Padding and style can be handled by css.
By java I assume you mean javascript - google-ing will help you. Without details of what your server is running and what is dispatching your pages we can't give you an exact answer. You might want something with ajax to keep it updating in the background.
Try googling your question, you'd be surprised how often this helps.
I'm not sure what you're trying to do once you get the variable into your web page, but I think something like the following could be useful.
Create a hidden div on your page
Have your C application write the variable to some file
Use jquery to execute an ajax call to pull that value into the div ( or whatever other container you want to use
using some type of timer, execute the ajax call every X period of time, which will then get your up to date variable
on your main page, have another timer that will then come in to that container, grab your value and then you are free to do what you want with it.
This is all off the top of my head without knowing much about what you're trying to accomplish. If you provide some further details we may be able to help you a little more.
You need AJAX... that's just a fancy buzz-word. It means you can tell JavaScript can get a file from the server without reloading the page and you can insert data from that file into your HTML.
AJAX is made much simpler by using a JavaScript library like jQuery, but it can be done without jQuery. There's a pretty decent Getting Started tutorial at Mozilla Developer Network if you want to do it the hard way, but I really recommend jQuery.
As far as formatting... any formatting... you need to use CSS. Just about everything about the appearance of anything on a web page is controlled by CSS. MDN has a Learn CSS section, too.
load jquery on you main html file
put a div with some id (example id="newvalue")
make you c program to write the output in a file (for example value.html)
on main html page header, after jquery include code add some javascript like
$( document ).ready(function() {
$("#newvalue").load('yoursiteurl/value.html');
});
I have made a basic tabbar view app in xcode but I need it to be a webapp as I will be viewing the data from a server so do not need/ want it on the app store.
I've looked at some other questions with this kind of topic and nothing is relevant. Also I've done plenty of googling and looking into other code plus using things like cubiq.org's slide-in menu.
I really want that tabbar look. I've tried to do this in HTML with images as buttons and using frames but (I think) because I'm using the JS code to stop the UIview from moving (to look more native) it seems that the buttons open the link in a new page, or switch to Safari, rather then open them in the same frame as they would in a regular browser.
Alternatively, does anyone know of a way I can implement a taskbar in a webapp?

Eric.
Have you seen JQuery Mobile !?
It's awesome... but still in Beta.
They have precisely the toolbar you're looking for: JQuery Mobile Navbar
Without code, it's hard to pinpoint your problem exactly, but you should not be doing:
Text of Button
Because the above code will actually load a different page. Rather, you want:
<div class="some_button_type" onclick="doSomeAction()"><!-- ... --></div>
And that "doSomeAction()" function should use DOM manipulation to transform the current page to look like whatever you want it to look like (rather than navigating to some separate page).
P.S. I'm assuming you have some CSS styling based on class type, and you might want content in the DIV (for example, for the text of the button). I've also omitted some attributes (e.g. "role") that you want.
I'm wondering if anyone has ever come across a plug-in for mootools that will show a hidden div (with embedded video in it) as a light box, upon a click on a link.
What I wanted is somehow like how apple trailers site show the embedded quicktime player.
Give Shadowbox.js a try... It supports multiple frameworks (MooTools, jQuery etc.), multiple players (img, iframe, html) and a lot of other options.
You can also check this matrix to see an overview of popular Lightbox clones with their capabilities.
Clientcide has one that might work. You could also try Milkbox.
You could also try moodalbox - not sure how it compares with milkbox, which I haven't used, but moodalbox should be able to do it: http://www.e-magine.ro/web-dev-and-design/36/moodalbox/
