I want to have it so like, lets say they are in a webpage, and they have to choose A B C D and they choose A, i want to have it so that a variable called A goes up one

and i want to have like a variable, like,
Background="Green"
Text="Blue"

and in the web page, the text is the color of whatever text is set as, and the background is whatever the background is.

mob/var/webpagehtml = ""
mob/verb/MakeWebPage()
var/bgcolor = input("What color should be bg be?") in list("Red","Blue","Green","Black","White")
var/textcolor = input("What color should the text be?") in list("Black","White")
webpagehtml = "<body bgcolor='[bgcolor]' text='[textcolor]'>"

There you go! Expand on that and you'll be running in no time.

That's what that code did, you have to use browse().

I think he means coding in html purely and not DM, which is basically impossible unless you use java or other things like that.

Sure, you can do that. Use javascript:

<html>
<head>
<script>
function PrintBody(bgcolor,textcolor)
{
document.write("<body bgcolor='" + bgcolor + "' text='" + textcolor + "'>)
}
</script>
</head>
<script>
PrintBody("black","white")
</script>


I think that should work.

i want to mix HTML and DM together like they click something, and A=5, and the click a thing and A gets 1 added to it. and when they click another thing, it brings them to a differnt page and that has its own variables, and say they go from one thing to another and then their HP goes up 3 or something

there is a library that does that, its the html form library, you should check it out. The browser, and byond, can talk directly to each other, although im not sure how. You would have to check out the library.

There's a few procs for this, but you can't just use a .html page for it here's an example code:

mob/verb/Browser()
    usr<<browse("Click <a href=?aone>A1</a> to get something")

client/Topic(href)
    if(href == "aone")
        mob<<"Okay, I lied you don't get anything.."
