Hello!

I'm doing some homework for my university and I would like my homework to be accessed remotely as well.

I have already port formwarded and I can access my webpage but when I press submit from a Remote IP my webpage does not work correctly because there's a mistake in the form action code line and I do not know how to correct that.

 

Here's the HTML code

 

 I want to correct the form action line in order for my webpage to work correctly from other clients as well

<!-- A form for selection a of a continent. Selection to be sent by POST -->
<HTML>
<HEAD>
   <TITLE>Cookie will be written in our disc</TITLE> 
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<FORM ACTION="http://localhost:8080/myExamplesDir/firstCookieDemo"
                                                                                                                         METHOD="POST">      
      <STRONG>Select the Continent of your Destination:<br> </STRONG>
      <PRE>
      <INPUT TYPE="radio" NAME="continent" VALUE="Europe">check here for Europe<BR>
      <INPUT TYPE="radio" NAME="continent" VALUE="Asia">check here for Asia<BR>
 <INPUT TYPE="radio" NAME="continent" VALUE="America" CHECKED>check here for America<BR>
      <INPUT TYPE="radio" NAME="continent"  VALUE="Africa">check here for Africa<BR>
      </PRE>
      <INPUT TYPE="submit" VALUE="Submit">
      <INPUT TYPE="reset"> </P>
   </FORM>
</BODY>
 
</HTML>

If you want it online so that it can be accessed by anyone you will need to setup a web server. There are much quicker solutions such as: http://bowery.io which sets up a dev environment in 30 seconds and gives u a web accessible URL... if you are not experienced with servers and web dev stuff you will need to read up on the docs... or better yet a few dollars for a host account and host it online.

If I change my 

<FORM ACTION="http://localhost:8080/myExamplesDir/firstCookieDemo">

to 

< <FORM ACTION="http://myhostname.com:8080/myExamplesDir/firstCookieDemo"

 

It will work but it won't work on my hostname

Setup your router and apache server config to make your localhost a public ip server.

 

So first make sure you're using port 80 instead of 8080 then test if you can connect with another device on the same wifi network to your computer ip"*

Then forward your pc ip to your public ip**

 

 

 

*192.168.1."something" in most cases

**63.233.34.12 looks like this

 

 

If you got a hostname(example.com) make sure to point it to your pc ip address, this can be done with a A record.

<form action="/myExamplesDir/firstCookieDemo"  method="POST">

That should do it. Starting a URL with / makes it relative to the current host root.

 

And please use lowercase HTML elements, it looks much better and is a convention. If you start using developer tools you'll notice everything is lowercase too, even if you write it uppercase in your HTML.

    • Microsoft will finally stop shoving Edge down your throat, on one condition

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Over regulation is bad. That's why the EU is behind the US. But, it's a good thing the EU stepped in, in this case.

      Thanks to the EU, Windows 11 is now a little more tolerable.

      Microsoft will finally stop shoving Edge down your throat, on one condition by David Uzondu Avid Windows users must be familiar with the dirty tactics Microsoft employs to push its Edge browser. It's a song as old as time; remember when Internet Explorer was primarily used as a tool to download Chrome or Firefox because it was the only thing available? Shortly after IE died, Edge inherited that legacy, becoming the browser you often had to use just to get the browser you actually wanted. Even Microsoft knows this: For years, we have endured the relentless pop-ups after updates, third parties being blocked from changing the default browser on Windows 11, banners appearing when you dare visit a competitor's download page, a fake "how to uninstall Edge" guide, and links within Windows apps that just had to open in Edge, regardless of your set preferences. Microsoft has announced it is dialing back some of this aggressive behavior, promising a reprieve from the constant Edge bombardment. But (and it's a pretty big but) this only applies if you're in the EEA. This shift isn't Microsoft suddenly having a profound change of heart and deciding to respect user choice out of the goodness of its heart. No, this is all thanks to the Digital Markets Act, a major EU rule that targets big online platforms, what they call "gatekeepers", because these companies have a huge impact on how the digital market works. So, what is actually changing for users in the EEA? For starters, Microsoft Edge will not prompt you to set it as the default browser unless you actually open it directly, like by clicking its icon on the taskbar. This specific change started rolling out with Edge version 137.0.3296.52. Other Microsoft apps will also stop bugging you to reinstall Edge if you dared to remove it, with updates for this rolling out in June to Windows 10 and 11. And speaking of default browsers, this is where a significant improvement lies. Previously, hitting "Set default" for your browser in Windows was half baked, only grabbing basic web links like http and https and HTML files. Now, if you're in the EEA, setting your default browser will also cover more obscure link types like ftp and "read," plus a wider array of web-related file formats such as .mht, .svg, .xml, and even .pdf files, provided your chosen browser says it can handle them. The Bing app and those Windows Widgets, which previously had a nasty habit of ignoring your browser choice, will also start opening web links in your default browser. Hallelujah. Users in the EEA will also gain the ability to uninstall the Microsoft Store entirely later this year, though apps previously installed from it will still receive updates. Windows Search is also getting an upgrade in the EEA. Right now, searching from the taskbar mostly just sends you to Bing, no matter what browser you use. But for users in the EEA, other apps will be able to plug into Windows Search and show web results too. If an app registers as a web search provider, it'll start working as soon as you install it. You'll also be able to see results from multiple providers in the search interface, not just Bing. The usual scoping tabs will still be there if you want to filter things, but the default view will be more varied. And yes, you'll even be able to reorder the providers in Settings. These changes are already in Windows Insider builds and are expected to roll out to Windows 10 and 11 in early June.

      A few things I am wondering about for S3: A.  What's Pike doo gonna look like this time around....yea I've watched the trailers & it looks poofed up, but still.... B. When will the unintelligible, physco-babbling Pelia go away (or at least learn how to speak English properly, without that crappy, slurred accent that sounds like she's on crack, Mary Jane, & LSD at the same time) ?  Hopefully Scotty's arrival will mean her departure is near.... C.  When do we get to see more of the stunningly gorgeous No. 1, preferably in regular/civilian clothes that show off her physical attributes better ? D. Is Spock EVER gonna get laid properly, human style ?  I feel certain that Christine could make any Vulcan-human horizontal bomp a thing to remember for a LONG time  E.  Can we PLEEEEEEZE get rid of the hatchet-head/buzz cut hair styles on Ortega & anyone else that has it....  But otherwise, as Pike says:  HIT IT !
