There's no guarantee that a given browser will render text to a specific pixel width. If i load up your site on my phone, or using a text-only browser, or with CSS turned off, or on a system without the font you specified... then things will look different to some extent. YMMV - add all the fluff you want, but make sure there's a fallback for critical information.

Hi, thanks for your answer, actually I'm not really worried about getting this working with every single browser, I'm only concerned about getting it working in the majority of browsers, besides if things go wrong and the browser doesn't render the text the way I intend it to be, it won't be a problem, all what will happen is that the text could possibly get *wrapped*, not a big deal! it's only a cosmetic thing ...
By the way, many major websites do this on the server side (truncate long text and add ellipsis), you may check yahoo answers for an example (they truncate the nicknames if they are too long) ...

No worries, then.

In my Index page, i have created 3 frames.
1. Top for banner
2. left for navigation
3. right for opening the page in this frame.
i want to fix my web page which is going to open in frame 3.
I want vscroll but not hscroll.

Firstly, I suggest that you don't use frames for the simple reason: they're very outdated, and were a bad concept from the start. If you want to load content in a frame-like manner, I'd advise loading the data into the page dynamically using some form of server-client interaction (JavaScript and PHP for example).
However, if you do want to go the frames route, then you can set the frame scrolling property to auto; then scrollbars will be used when there is vertical overflow. If you don't want horizontal scrollbars then just make sure your framed page doesn't have horizontal overflow (put it in a <table> with a width of 95%, for example).

i thing you should use table or div tags for your problem and you can show your values in iframe using vscroll.
I will do my best?

Just created some Web Slices for a Site getting ready for IE8. Using IE8 Beta 2 and a Vista Bus 32 SP1 client. All is well except cannot get the Page favicon to appear in the Favorites Bar link created by subscription. If I use the properties sheet later I can change it. So I assume it is supported. Other slices I have tried seem to work OK. Is there a property that I am missing?
Another quirk is that the Address Bar and Tab ICONs are reset to default when the slice link is added. A refresh sets them back.
Any ideas would be appreciated. No Winders Flames please.

To perspx: Thanks for your thought. IE8 is the Browser they will be deploying and Web Slices is one feature they want to leverage. All else seems OK except the ICON. I realize the idea of page subscriptions can be done in a lot of other ways and maybe better with other browsers.
Thanks.

Yeah I realised that there kinda weren't any other "stable" versions of IE8 until they bring it out of beta

When you enable script debugging in IE you're prone to the modal script error dialog from hell which can get stuck on some bug and infinite loop. You can't browse to another page, you can't tell it to go away, you've essentially become it's slave.
Is there a way to close this annoying dialog without having to go to task manager and kill the entire process?

Use a better script debugger? I'm sure Shog would swear by FireBug, and I've also found Opera's developer tools to be very handy, which should solve your problem, unless it's an IE-only script error.

Sometimes you can click really really fast on some other part of the UI (such as the Home or Refresh buttons) and force the script to unload. Good luck... i usually end up just killing the process.

Hi, I wonder if you can help me, I am working with an SQL Server 2005 database with web front end. Which consist of ASP pages, JavaScript. I have a Conn. asp file already set up so that all the relevant pages can connect to the database. My problem isn’t the SQL Server queries but it’s actually the scripting languages.
I would like to construct various list boxes. For example,
Search the criteria below based on the unique reference number: *Requestors Email
*Assigned to
*Category
*Status
I would like the drop down lists to populate based on what is selected in the previous list box. For example if Requesters email is selected then on those assigned to that email will show up. This will then populate the category accordingly.
HOWEVER this is the tricky part, I might just want to search Status based on the unique reference number. So how I would I construct this? Would I need different submit buttons? Ideally I want to search the database with just one click.
ps: i have to use frontpage 2003
hope you can help..
regards
WBVA
oh and below is a rough guide of what i have done so far..

hello,
I want to include one page as a header for all my web pages.For which I have written the following code
<title>Untitled Document;
;

The above code works fine with the page seen in the Preview in Browser but fails in the Internet Explorer browser.
Regards,

The browser has nothing to do with the file being included or not, I think you have to leave a space between
(did you notice the space after

|

Hello,
Thanks for your answers.
But with the space it doesn't work.I can see the include file in the preview but cannot see it in Internet Explorer. How can I make sure server side includes are enabled?
Thanks

what preview? and what web server are you using?

Hello,
Thanks for your reply
I am using Dreamweaver to make the web page and I can see the included file when checked in the 'Preview in Browser'.but when I open the page in Internet Explorer I cannot see the include page.
I don't know about the web server.

Hi Prithaa,
I don't use Dreamweaver very often so I don't know much about its features, it seems that it automatically includes the file for you in the page preview. I'll try to make this as simple as possible, basically you need to run your website on a web server in order to be able to include files, if you plan to have your website hosted on a shared web host then you shouldn't worry about this, it will be taken care of by the web server of the shared host. I don't know what operating system you are using but I will assume it's either Windows XP or Windows Vista, in either Windows XP or Visa you have a web server called IIS, you have to run your website on IIS in order to be able to view it in Internet Explorer.
Hope this helps ...
