Why should you use file includes? If you have a common button bar and you make a change to it, you have to change it on all the pages that have that button bar. If you have the button bar in one file and include it on several pages, then changes made to the the included file are reflected on all pages that include that file.
Forms To Email
To have the information of a form emailed to a specific email address, all you have to do is set three hidden fields on your form and have the action of the form point to a file of type .htm with a special line of code at the top of the page. It's really as simple as that.
Forms To Text Files
This utility enables you to save information filled out on forms to a text file rather than saving it in a database. This utility works great if you don't have a need for a database but you need to save some information on your users. The text file created is a {TAB} seperated list of all the fields in your form in the order they appear on the form.
NOTE: The text file created is not searchable, meaning queries cannot be performed on it. If you'd like to have searchable information, you need to setup a database. For more information on this, please contact us at info@other-world.com.
Image Maps
Image maps allow you to have a single image with 'hot spots' that link to different pages. What do you need to do this? You need an Image Map Editor (You can find one here: Other-World's Authoring Tools) to create a .map file and the appropriate code for image maps.
IP Address - Display IP Address On Page
Show the IP Address (38.103.63.56) of the users machine making the request to your page.
Random Banners
This utility makes it great to offer others advertising on your page. You can offer a random display of their banner on your site. It's great for trying to create extra income on your site or creating a ring of sites. Best of all, there's no programming required, just three lines of code. If you'd like to have a banner system customized more for your needs, please contact us at info@other-world.com.
Random Text
This utility gives you the ability to display random text to your users. It's great for creating dynamic greetings on your homepage or any other page. It's really simple, and like most of our utilities, there's no programming required. All it takes is two lines of code and you have dynamic text on your page.
Referring Document
To have access to the referring document on your page makes it great to create a 'true' back button or be able to log where people hit your site from.
Search Engine Spoofing
We have developed a program for spoofing Search Engine Spiders that come out and scan your webpage. By using this utility, you can pad words on your page that will only be shown to the search engine spiders. Add this utility to the very top of your page, after the body tag but before anything else. This is one of the most prominent places for search engines to scan for content.
Secure Form - Always hit a secure form
If you have a secure form on your site, there's still the possibility that your users can get to the form via a non-secure URL. With this utility and a couple lines of code, you can ensure that the user always hits your form(s) securely.
Time - Display time on page
Putting the current time on your web page is easy thanks to our programmers here at Other World Internet Solutions. All you have to do is put two simple lines of code on your page where you want the time to be displayed. We have several options for displaying the time in a format that you find suitable for your site.
