Invoking a modal popup from the codebehind

bgriffin_tpa4-Apr-07 7:05

I'm using VisStudio 2005 Pro and wanted to be able to invoke
a modal popup from the code, instead of a button click.

Anyone here know how to do that? Was suggested that the
.SHOW method would do it, but it hasn't worked for me
in VB.NET Frown | :(

Any suggestions?

Please review your knowledge of HTTP and the web - ie the codebehind runs on the server, a modal dialogue is on the client.....

that's true, but they aren't totally separate, they work together.
how do I execute a javascript from the code behind? If I can do that,
I can create a script that will popup the window.

Ideas? Confused | :confused:

Thx in advance. Cool | :cool:

Hi all
I am using Scripting.FileSystemObject activeX control, I am writing vbscript to print values on a paper. But when it is printing, its loaded only once, when I click any other button or the same button also, its not working and the activeX control is loaded only once in the browser.
Can anybody pls. tell me the reason why is it happening. And whats the remedy for this.
Is it a browser settings problem or any coding(vbscript) problem. Thank you.

Any cgi/perl/ssi programmers here?

benjymous4-Apr-07 1:24

I'm being driven mad trying to find a solution that something that should be deceptively simple

I have a small cgi script /cgi-bin/time.cgi that takes an optional "start" argument

The functionality should be like this

* When the script is called with the start param, it sets a variable to the current time
* Every subsequent call should display the difference from that time (and thus let me profile different SSI includes to work out which bits are slow and need optimising)

example profile test page:

<--#include virtual="/cgi-bin/time.cgi?start=1" -->
<--#set var="SOMEVAR" value="some value" -->
<--#include virtual="/header.shtml" -->
<--#exec cmd="/cgi-bin/time.cgi" -->
<--#include virtual="/cgi-bin/maincontent.cgi?$QUERY_STRING" -->
<--#include virtual="/cgi-bin/time.cgi" -->
<--#include virtual="/footer.shtml" -->
<--#include virtual="/cgi-bin/time.cgi" -->

My big problem comes with the "start" functionality - for the life of me I'm unable to set an ENV variable from within a cgi script and have it visible to the next script (vars set in SSI, such as SOMEVAR in the example can be seen within the cgi)

Any ideas?

Here's the perl code in time.cgi

#! /usr/bin/perl

use Time::HiRes;
use CGI;

my($cgiquery) = new CGI;

print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";

if( $cgiquery->param('start') )
{
  print "<-- start -->\n";
  $ENV{'PROFILE_TIME'} = Time::HiRes::time;
}
else
{
  print "<-- continue -->\n";
}

my ($starttime) = $ENV{'PROFILE_TIME'};

print "<-- PROFILE: ";
print Time::HiRes::time - $starttime;
print " --> \n";
print "<-- starttime = $starttime -->\n";

Full Tooltip not working with Firefox

I noticed how the tooltips in my page are cut off in Firefox. This means you can't read the full text.

The same is working fine with IE, but not working in Firefox.
Is there any solution to show whole Tooltip with Firefox ?

Thanks,
Nilesh Thakkar

It's a bug in Firefox. Currently the only real solution is to use "fake" tooltips (of which there are scores of libraries written, do a search for javascript tooltip). Or use something other than tooltips to convey such information.

Yeah, it's a serious annoyance.

Hi all,

I am developing one web page called Whiteboard where i need to assign jobs to the employees by dragging and dropping employees to the particular job using AJAX. Everything(Jobs and Employees) will be fetched from the database.

So i need to fetch each and every employee from the database and make it draggable and droppable so that i could drag and drop particular employee to the particular job.

So please reply to this post and let me know how could i achieve this in ASP.NET with the use of AJAX?

Thanks in advance.

Use the window.setTimeout method to call the function:

onclick="window.setTimeout('demo(0);', 3000);"

You can use a JS library such as Prototype or jQuery to take care of a lot of the plumbing for you. Of course, if you're only dealing with a handful of options, you could just store them all in JS arrays and skip the whole AJAX thing completely - just associate each array with an option in the first combo, and load the appropriate one when the selection changes.

CSS Underlining

I have an issue where some hyperlinks the underline appears 1px closer to the text than normal. This causes problems if there is a hanging character such as (p,q,g,y etc). I can't seem to find a reason for it to happen, as it only happens on some of the links on the page I am working on. Any ideas on where to look?

Matt Newman

Use Ctrl+Left/Right to switch messages, Ctrl+Up/Down to switch threads, Ctrl+Shift+Left/Right to switch pages.
