Ideas needed for design of web service or web app - Web Development Discussion Boards

First of all, why do you use separate databases? Unless you have a very specific reason, you should put the tables in the same database, or even in the same table of the database if the data is of the same kind.

If you need to use separate databases, you simply specify the file name in the connection string.

Hi all,
Is there any way in which i can find out, using javascript, the width & height of a string when used with a particular font and size.

eg.

<font size=4 face="verdana">Hello</font>

i wish to know what will be the width of "Hello" above as displayed on the web-page.

Thanks in advance.

No. You have to put the text in an element, put the element on the page so that it's rendered, and then get the measurements of the element.

ablaye,

You could have posted this in 'Jobs' section or Work Issues/certification/Resumes, where it would best fit rather than inline with technical discussions.

Hi all,

Hoping for some bright ideas to help me decide how best to design and implement a piece of .Net work I am about to do for a client.

Some background: my client runs many different job sites but they are all hosted by one company (who specialise in hosting job portals) but, unbeleivably, offer no way of uploading batches of jobs.... so each job must be entered on the site by hand.

My client wants to get around this by allowing his clients (ie: companies wanting to place jobs on the various sites) to enter multiple job adverts in a spreadsheet and then (somehow) I need to take that s/sheet, read each job and create a URL which emulates the job entry page on the hoster's site (eg: www.[jobsite].com\newjob\addjob.jsp?title=Engineer&location=london&startdate=01-Jun-06... etc etc). The hosting site uses JSP so I can't do anything much from .Net except create a URL to submit each job... but at least we do know we can emulate the URL to submit a new job. So my task is really to somehow receive the s/sheet, build each URL and submit it.

So my question is, given these requirements, how should I go about it? I was thinking of a web service which the clients placing jobs can call from their own browser but I don't know if a web service could read a s/sheet (I assume not). Failing that, I guess we could have an interim web page on a web server somewhere that allows the clients to upload and process the s/sheet. Other ways I thought of was allowing them to email the s/sheet as an Outlook attachment to an email address which would be monitored by a .Net service which would then do the reading and URL creation/submission.

I guess what I'm trying to write here is almost middleware (I like to call it "squeezeware" as we're squeezing it in where nothing should really be!) so any ideas or comments on what I've suggested so far would be much appreciated. I'm not looking for anyone to do this for me - just after some fresh ideas!

TIA for any help/suggestions...

The other thing I should have mentioned is that I can use .Net 2.0 if I want (my client leaves that sort of thing up to me) so anything that v2.0 can offer me to get this done better/quicker I'd be happy to hear about (I haven't used v2.0 very much at all yet).

Mike

An interim web page with upload would seem to make sense to me if someone will be manually uploading the spreadsheet - then you can display error messages etc.

I don't really see the speed gains though if they still have to enter all the job data into the spreadsheet first... If they have a DB that's going to write out the SS data, then they might be better getting the DB to spit out xml and pass that to a webservice of yours (bit more simple on your part...).

You're right of course - the problem here is that the clients have to enter the jobs *somewhere* and if they've already entered it in their own systems then they don't want to have to do it again for us. Anyway, after another conversation with my client we have agreed that we will forget the Excel thing (way too perilous) and request the users to supply us with an XML or CSV document - that way they can use the data already existing in their system(s) and we will (hopefully) get a properly structured "job" object which the web service or web page can parse and then create the URL to post to the hosted job site.

Mike

I want to disable the statusbar of Explore. Is there any way to disable the client's Explorer's statubar with the help of Javascript.

Abhinav Gour

You can only do that when using window.open to open a new window. Also the status bar can only be removed if the web site is added as a trusted site.

Set the session timeout to the duration you require, then catch the session_end event in global.asax and redirect the user appropriately.

Have you used the latest versions of Yahoo mail and Windows Live Mail.

I am wondering which technologies have been used to develop these applications.

I particularly like the fact that I can use Delete key on my keyboard and it deletes the email on the web page. Also, if I right click on an email, I get a customised menu.

Any ideas on the technologies used, and any tutorials on using those technologies.

regards

I need to create a DDL that is what I would call intelligent. What I mean is that a user could type what they are looking for and the DDL would automatically go to the closest option. It's killing me - I don't know what to call it so I can't find anything online of how to do it. Any help is really appreciated.

What you want is an auto-completing combobox!

You rock - that is exactly what I was looking for. THANK YOU!
