Well the only thing I can suggest is using a different player. Personally I found that having to download another plugin puts off many users. So I started using flash (it's already on 95% of computers or something). Plus flash allows you to edit the player to fit in better with the site.

There are other options however. But you will need to research them. Silverlight for example is now on many machines.

If you do choose to go the flash route there are good tutorials on http://gotoAndLearn.com[^]

When developing a media player always publish for slightly older versions - if you don't want users installing plugins. I.e:

Current Flash version is 10. So publish to 8.
Current silverlight is 2 ( I think). SO publish to 1.

we are going to upgrade our system and we will use silverlight. but for the meantime we are using wmp. the video that we are playing is drm protected. i can't use flash.

You should use Flash or silverlight to show the video. Media player is old concept.

If you still want to use Media player, use embed tag than object. As most of the browsers doesnt support object tags. It is IE specific.

hello there:
Am using accordion with panes inside it, i want to alert the user to get confirmation form him that he is sure that he wants to change pane and then i should validate things and inform the user of the of the changes. But I could not know how to do that since there is no OnSelectedIndexChange Event. I searched a lot but i did not understand the proposed solution could any body tell how this could be solved. I would like to know also how to use it in JS.

not sure if its the same but for the select tag you can use selceted index:

var dropdown = document.getElementById("saved_style");
var index = dropdown.selectedIndex;

if (index == 0){
//do nothing
} else if (index == 1){
}

Well This Might Work on JS and i will check it now but how about server events. There is something written on js let me post the code and you can check it and please if you understood it tell me Big Grin | :-D

function pageLoad(sender, args)
 {
   var accordEx1 = $find('MyAccordion_AccordionExtender');


     accordEx1.add_selectedIndexChanged(onSelectedIndexChanged);
 }

 function onSelectedIndexChanged(sender, args)
 {
       var behavior = $find('MyAccordion_AccordionExtender');

       var i = behavior.get_SelectedIndex();
       var control_clientId='<%= GetControlClientID() %>';
       if(control_clientId != "null")
       {
           var text= $get(control_clientId);
           text.value="i am "+i;

       }
  }

sure some of the code is related to the writers project but in general is this related to a solution for what am searching for???

If you are using PHP you could always parse css as php, then check the users environment (browser) and select the appropriate css:

Parse CSS as PHP[^]

or you can link to different stylesheets depending on browser.

or you can use browser hacks:

Your question itself has the answer.
Put in further details on what type of contect management system are you looking for.

Re: Content management system

Marc Firth27-Jul-09 21:56

Yes it is a system for managing content. Literally. So it covers a whole wide range of software from client relationship management software to wikis to Virtual Learning environments.

Examples of CMS:

Wikipedia, Facebook, Drupal, Moodle, Joomla, Amazon.

basic Dropdown item formating question

I've been looking off and on for a few days now, and have several solutions none of which work in IE. I would love to be able to make a single item's text italic. I can change its fore color, bg color. and i can make it do just about anything in firefox.

ddl.Items[1].Attributes.Add("Style", "font-style:italic;");

ddl.Items[1].Attributes.Add("class", "bold");

yes i'm sure that item 1 exists, I've tried every different way of turning italics on that i can find, but IE just wont render it. FireFox 3.5 will work with either of the above. any help would be appreciated. I havent done anything special in the HTML, just gave it an ID and set runat=server. And i manually add each item in the code behind.

I'm pretty sure that IE simply doesn't support italics within drop down list items.

You might consider using a <div> tag with your options that you could popup upon a click. Something like this[^]?

thats what i was begining to think, i dont understand why they do that kinda crap. I'm looking at the page you sent, seems like a lot of work just for an italic item but i'll probably end up using it.

Thanks for the help.

it's a bit more work but if you havent used it, you'll be suprised what you can do with jquery. And just to confirm: IE doesn't let you use italics in dropdowns.

How To: automatically poll a Web-Database

27-Jul-09 7:02

Hi,

i need to ask every hour a online database if some data has expired.
The database is a Ms Sql Server at the Provider Webspace.
How could this be solved?

Could i use a WebService? But how to start the trigger?
Must there be a Daemon written? But how to install this at the Provider?

Any Suggestion would be greate.

Thanks

I usually solve these kinds of problems by creating a simple console or winforms application and use the Windows Task Scheduler to schedule it for execution.

27-Jul-09 18:08

Thank you for your reply.
But the Server is at the Provider, and i don't have a local machine that is running all the time. Also a WinService is not a Solution cause the Server is also running for foreign Domains and the Provider won't let me customize his System...

You can either develop a WinForm or Console Application and put it on Windows Scheduler or develop a SSIS Package and schedule it in the database task.
