Re: How do I query for an element's size in Javascript?

Thanks! The clientHeight did the trick and seems to have worked in both IE and FireFox Smile | :)

Adding more text to the element, which caused it to grow, resulted in the larger size being provided in clientHeight.

Interestingly, I have the O'Reilly Javascript book and it says nothing about this property. I'm not complaining of course, as the code is now working Smile | :)

Time zone problem with fat client and web service

We have a winform application which connects to the sql server through webservice. Some of the clients are in different time zone. The problem we run into is when client gets a date from the server, sometime the date is wrong. Since there is no date only data field in SQL, we store the date as 12/05/2007 00:00:00 which almost everybody does. The problem comes when the data was written to the server from a client in east coast and read by a client in west coast. Let say the SQL server is in east coast. The client store 12/05/2007 00:00:00 into the server, when the client in west coast read the data, he got 12/04/2007 21:00:00. That's a day behind!

Does anyone know of a solution to this?

Actually, you should convert all of your date as GMT date before inserting into the database..

running remotely means

1) accessing your webproject that is hosted on my machine from other's machine?

then, it might be because of firewall. Please turn off your firewall.

2) you move your project to server and you can't access your webpage?

then, have you configured to run the ASP.NET on your IIS? In Windows 2003 server, there is one more additional step to enable the ASP.NET.

Window.open Maximise/Minimise

I have coded a page to pop up a new window in the following way:

window.open("testing.htm","now","height=350,width=250,alwaysLowered=0,alwaysRaised=0,channelmode=0,dependent=0,directories=0,fullscreen=0,hotkeys=1,location=0,menubar=0,resizable=0,scrollbars=0,status=0,titlebar=1,toolbar=0,z-lock=0");

Clicking the button that opens the window while the window is currently open will not bring an additional window but, it will overwrite(not sure what action its doing) the values in the controls like text boxes. And not only that the window also goes minimised. Is there a way to bring it back maximised?
Please help. Hmmm | :|

If you want to open a new window, use "_blank" as the name.
If you're ok re-using the existing window but just wish to bring it to the foreground, call the focus() method on the object returned from window.open():

var win = window.open(...);
win.focus();

BTW - generally, you can just avoid referencing options you do not want instead of explicitly setting them to 0.

One more question is it possible to check whether a window with a particular name already exist or not without using the reference to that window?

If you have the right to access the Email server then you can get the list of Email addresses that are host in that server.. Otherwise, you can't... so, you may have to do trial-and-error

You can get the client's IP address by using Javascript. (The fact whether JS can get the correct IP address or not is the different story. Generally, you can get it with JS.) then, In order to know the client's country based on IP address, you should the countries list and IP addresses range for all countries.. OR you can use the free service like GeoDirection[^] to get the country name based on the IP address. then, you can redirect the HTML page that is already localized. (example[^])

Add a unique ID to the element at the bottom of the page. The link at the top can then refer to this using the # anchor and when clicked it will jump to your element.

For example:

<a href="#my_jump">Link at top</a>

blah
blah

<h3 id="my_jump">Thing at bottom</h3>

caching problem with IE

JimmyRopes3-Dec-07 16:23

I have a strange problem that only happens with IE. Other browsers do not exhibit this problem and it seems to be because of caching.

I am displaying a video and it plays just fine when the page is first loaded. If I refresh the page the rendering stops just after the masthead image is rendered and the rest of the page doesn't get rendered.

If I go in to internet options and delete files the page works again for the first time but if I refresh it the rendering stops again after the masthead.

I tried not caching the page, both using meta tags and HTML headers and this doesn't fix the problem.

Below is the code I am using.

<br />
<?php<br />
// Date in the past<br />
header("Expires: Mon, 26 Jul 1997 05:00:00 GMT");<br />
header("Cache-Control: no-cache");<br />
header("Pragma: no-cache");<br />
?><br />
<br />
<meta http-equiv="Pragma" content="no-cache" /><br />
<meta http-equiv="Cache-Control" content="no-cache" /><br />
<meta http-equiv="Expires" content="Mon, 26 Jul 1997 05:00:00 GMT"><br />

I don't know anything else to try. Does anyone have any idea why IE would be caching the page in spite of headers saying not to?

I have an asp file linked to a html file with the following code:

<%
Dim rs, conn
set conn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.connection")
set rs = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
conn.Provider="Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0"
conn.Open(Server.Mappath("obesity.mdb"))

age = request("age")
gender = request("gender")
height = request("height")
weight = request("weight")
waist = request("waist")

sqlstring = "Insert INTO User ([Age], [Gender], [Height], [Weight], [Waist]) Values(" & age & ",'" & gender & "'," & height & "," & weight & "," & waist & ")"

rs.Open sqlstring, conn

sqlstring = "Select * From User Order By age"

rs.Open sqlstring, conn

Response.Write "<TABLE BORDER=0><TR><TD width=100>age</TD><TD width=100>Gender</TD><TD width=100>Height</TD><TD width=100>Weight</TD><TD width=100>Waist</TD></TR><TR>"

while not rs.EOF
Response.Write "<TD width=100>" & rs("age") & "</TD>"
Response.Write "<TD width=100>" & rs("gender") & "</TD>"
Response.Write "<TD width=100>" & rs("height") & "</TD>"
Response.Write "<TD width=100>" & rs("weight") & "</TD>"
Response.Write "<TD width=100>" & rs("waist") & "</TD>"
Response.Write "</TR>"
rs.MoveNext
wend

Response.Write "</TABLE>"
rs.Close
%>

When ever i execute this however it comes up with the following error message:

Microsoft JET Database Engine (0x80040E14)
Syntax error in INSERT INTO statement.

If anyone can spot where I'm going wrong can you let me know. The table in the database looks as follows:

Age - number
Gender - text
Height - number
Weight - number
Waist - number

Thank You

User is a reserved keyword. Either rename the table, or use brackets around the name in the query: [User].
