I am quite new. I'm a desktop and systems developer of 8 or more years but web stuff is *very* new. I'll go read before I hurt myself. Thanks for the link. If you have any others for ingorant newbie web developers let me know. I've written thousands upon thousans of socket level lines of code but UI stuff in web browsers is all greek.
Thanks a bunch and I'll take any other good reads you might be sitting on.

Sure. Basicaly everything from http://msdn.microsoft.com/asp.net/[^].  I wish I had time to read it all! Maybe start with Quick Start or "Get started" or whatnot... For HTML,XML and other markup related things, W3C[^] is something like Bible . Also check out Trenton Moss' articles[^] (mainly about web usability). Actualy there is way much more good articles about web dev.. And my favourite mr. know-all-fix-all is Google.  I am sure I failed to mention something important, but nobody is perfect.
Hope it helps.

Hi there,
For the menu on my site I have a simple table with a couple of td's which contain text (the menu items). I would like to change the background and text color when the mouse hovers over the the td (not over the text!). Besides that, the complete td should be a link, not only the text. How can this be done?
Thanks in advance!

Set display:block on the links and specify the size so that they fill up all the area you want. Now you can use the hover effect on the links. (Internet Explorer only supports hover on links.) As the links are blocks, you don't even need the table any more.
Example:
css:
.Menu { width: 150px; }<br />
.Menu a { display: block; width: 100%; height: 25px; line-height: 25px; }<br />
.Menu a:hover { background: #666; color: #fff; }
html:
<div class="Menu"><br />
<a href="asdf">asdf</a><br />
<a href="asdf">asdf</a><br />
<a href="asdf">asdf</a><br />
</div>
---
b { font-weight: normal; }

Hi Guffa,
thanks for your reply. I didn't know about the display css property. Unfortunately, my menu should be a horizontal one. But display:block; adds a linefeed before and after the item. Besides that, I wanted the text within each block vertically bottom aligned. So I guess I have to use a table. Any more ideas? Besides, here is a site[^] which has done quite what I want, but I don't seem to understand the sources, at which I had a look (they are using ul and li elements!).
Thanks again.

display:block does not add any linefeeds. Maybe you have some problems with extra spaces that does not fit anywhere else. Also, sometimes Internet Explorer has some strange ideas about how much space an element needs.
To make a horisontal menu, just put an absolute width on the items and use float:left to make them line up beside each other in the div. You can use padding to move the text down.
.Menu { height: 30px; }<br />
.Menu a { display: block; float: left; width: 100px; height: 15px; padding-top: 15px; }<br />
.Menu a:hover { background: #666; color: #fff; }
CSS good. Tables baaaaaad. Table tags should only be used to create tables, and avoided in all other cases. Mainly for the reason that using tables for layout makes you build web pages in oldfashioned ways.

Hello,
We have a product with n tier architecture, which is working properly in Windows 2000. And in windows 2003 it's giving some problem. When we investigated the event viewer, it looks like problem in IIS.
So, Is there a problem in IIS in win-2003 environment. If so, how do we debug the problem.
Restarting the IIS will give the temporary solution.
thanks,
Zxczc

Your question is very vague. You haven't even said what kind of problem it is, what it is that happens or not happens, if you get any error message...
There is of course quite a few differences between IIS 5 and IIS 6, one thing for an example is that the security is quite tighter by default.
You have to supply some more information about the problem, though. Otherwise one could only guess what it is, and give random pointers to common problems.

Hi:
Your description does not seem to carry any of the error messages that you may have encountered on screen or as logged in System EventLogs.
If you could get on with these, some of us might be able to investigate into the issue and arrive at a solution for the same.

Hi all,
I think firefox browser ignores attachEvent(). I used it "onLoad" of window but nothing happened.If anyone can please suggest some alternate way of attachEvent()?
Regards,
Sankar

I think attachEvent is IE only. I think firefox uses the standards based method attachEventListener() which has 3 parameters rather than 2.

I want to use activex for communication with the server.

Im using this script in my global.asa file:
<script language="vbscript" runat="server">
Sub Application_OnStart
Application("visitors")=0
End Sub
Sub Session_OnStart
Application.Lock
Application("visitors")=Application("visitors")+1
Application.UnLock
End Sub
Sub Session_OnEnd
Application.Lock
Application("visitors")=Application("visitors")-1
Application.UnLock
End Sub
</script>
Im having a problem on Session_OnEnd event. It doesn't sh0w accurate number of visitors online every time a user logs out. Is there any settings I need to do in my IIS or somewhere else to make my count updated/real time?
I believe that a session ends if session.abandon is executed, but why my system does not subtract visitors every time Session_OnEnd triggered?
Thanks!

Hi,
The problem with Session_OnEnd is that system doesn't exactly know when user left your page, so there is some timeout between last users request and Sesssion_OnEnd. So you can't show accurate number of online visitors...
But if you have 'logout' in your app you can use Session variable to store information if this user allready left your system and decreese number of visitors when he clicks 'logout'. If he just close browser window, Session_OnEnd will be called after some time.
hope it helps

Thanks for the information. =)
Yes, I have logout in my app and Im using Session.Abandon. How will I implement a session variable? Currently im using Application("visitors") for storing number of online users in global.asa. Should I used session("visitors") instead and implement session("visitors") - 1 in logout page?
|
|
|
|

I mean that you could call same function (RemoveVisitor) from logout code and from session_end code. This RemoveVisitor function removes current user from count of visitors, but since it may be called twice it needs to check if it was already called:
Don't know what language do you use... but it should look like this:
<br />
void RemoveVisitros()<br />
{<br />
if (Session('removed')==true) return;<br />
<br />
Application('visitors')=Application('visitors')-1;<br />
Session('removed')=true;<br />
}<br />

i was trying to add a web custom control to my web pag and it gave me this message can somebody tell me what is wrong.
"test.dll cannot be added to toolbox is was not recongized as a com server"

Hi there,
If the test.dll assembly is managed code, then you need to use the Browse button in the .Net framework components tab, not in the COM components tab, to select the assembly.

I'm so new to HTML that I'm unsure of the terminology and how to accomplish what I think is something simple.
I would like to arange various elements on a page (images, links to mpegs, links to pdf's, etc) and expose the ability for a user to click a well defined region and then open that region in a new window where the user can then edit it.
For example there might be a page with 1 image and then a paragraph of formatted text under it. If the user clicks it I would like to open a new page, pass it the HTML of the current page. The new page will allow the user to edit the previous page and then saving returns the HTML changes from current back to previous where they get written.
I know this is GET and POST but that's all I know. Is there a short sweet example of how to do this somewhere? I am able to find definitions of GET and POST but nothing that completely shows how to approach this problem.
The summary of what I'm trying to do is allow an end user the ability to edit templates for their website. So if someone gets hired they can easily add that persons picture and resume to the proper place in the site as an example. Once I understand this process I'll stuff all the objects into a database and make it dynamic. This is a simplified question so that I can understand the basic nature of interaction between web pages and how you properly pass data back and forth.
{Steps}
1. Open resume template.
2. Click template edit region.
3. The template opens in a new window that has editing features.
4. All changes are made in the new window.
5. The new window passes those changes back to the old window.
6. The changes are written/flushed.
7. Editing session is over.
I hope this makes sense.
Thanks in advance for any help. I'm brand new to HTML but have been coding for a while in C/C++/C#/Java.

Did you ever find out how to do this? If you do, can you let me know? Thank you.

No I haven't. I think I might just stuff it into a database. Trouble is that doesn't help me short term. I need to be able to demonstrate the concept and when I do I won't have a database near by at all.

anyone know how to make a postback to an aspx page from javascript without calling any web control?
can i call __doPostBack() without passing any params ? i tried it but it didn't work
any ideas ?
Thanx.
|
|
|
|
|
Hi there,
In fact, the __doPostBack() function generated by the ASP.NET is a wrapper of the submit method of the form element. So you simply get reference to the form element, then invoke the submit method to cause the page to post back.
