How To Replace A Code With A Word In HTML.

**ashwinsinha** · 02-12-2009 03:23 AM

My Problem Is Quite Simple & i Believe There Must Be A Way To Solve It !
What I Want To Do Is That I Actually Want To Replace A Code In My Page With A word Or Another Code.
For Example,
In My Template,
I want to give the link to a page as

HTML Code:

Play (game) <a href="http://www.mydomain.com/(game).html">

Where In Maybe The Head Tag,
If I Give The Value

HTML Code:

<head><meta name=(game) value=hawx>

The Code In My Page Is Converted To :

HTML Code:

Play hawx <a href="http://www.mydomain.com/hawx.html">

& (game) in the whole page is converted to (hawx) while the page is displayed & also in the back end when the link is clicked.

Thanking You,
- Ashwin

This is not possible using pure HTML. You need to use a programming language to do this. A quick to implement change would be to add a simple JavaScript function that will change all instances of (game) to hawx (or anything else you want it to). But this means that it will only work on browsers that have JS, and have it enabled.

A better way would be to use server side scripting such as PHP. You could specify a value for a variable, and just include that wherever you want the dynamic link or text to be. This will mean that not only will it work for all browsers, but it will do it more seamlessly as well.

try

<?php $new_variable = str_replace("<<<what you want changing>>>", "to whatever you want it changed to", $previous_variable);?>
