    Question:
    I recently had a website designed by a company. I loaded all my products onto the site to sell.

    Now I need a drop-down menu or some means for my customers to choose what size or color of an item they want. I asked the website company about this and they said they do not have any drop-down menus or other means of doing this.

    What should I do? Should I try to get my money back or is there another way of getting some type of menu onto their template?
    Please Help!

    Answer:
    It sounds like they don't have a pre-written script that can allow your visitors to choose from various selections in conjunction with the "shopping cart."

    You'll either need to get them to write that functionality into their script, or find someone else to do it for you. Thanks,
    Thanks

    Question:
    Dear Dr. Website:
    How can I automaticaly change/rotate the link of an url in a refresh meta tag like

    <meta HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="0; URL=http://www.newdomain.com/newhomepage.html">

    I would call it "Start Page Rotater". I have a few web-sites and would like to link from my main web-site to the others equaly. Is their a possibility to manage that, by script, cgi or something else ?

    Many thanks in advance for your prompt reply.
    Best regards

    Answer:
    Instead of using META tags to do it, you can do it like this:

    <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
    <!-- var how_many_ads = 3;
    var now = new Date()
    var sec = now.getSeconds()
    var ad = sec % how_many_ads;
    ad +=1;
    if (ad==1) { window.location="http://www.internet.com/"; }
    if (ad==2) {
    window.location="http://www.wdvl.com/";
    } if (ad==3) {
    window.location="http://www.javascript.com/";
    } // --> </SCRIPT>

    That ought to hook you up! You can use as many URLs as you wish, but you must change the variable "how_many_ads" to the new number.
    Thanks,

    Dear Dr. Website:
    im a trying to learn html 4. I know the tags already however, i would want to know better the table tag.

    I was wondering which website tutorial can help me in learning to build better websites. Most tutorials show only simple tables.

    I was wondering if i could get better tables examples which are use in the website layout.

    In other words, tables like your website. But i would want a simpler site so i can analyze it better. thanks a lot.

    Answer:
    You can find an excellent resource about tables here:
