Advanced dropdown box

Edwar10-Jun-02 22:33

10-Jun-02 22:33

I am looking for a way to control the width of a dropdown box (easy enough) - but to have the 'dropdown' element appear wider than the box itself.

I have seen this coded in c++ apps but not specifically for a web page.

Any ideas?

There is nothing in HTML or CSS specs to let you control this aspect of a tag.

If you really really really had to have that level of control you'd have to sell your soul to the ActiveX control.

I want to show some .asp page with some message for user in a few seconds...

I want to show some .asp page with some message for user in a few seconds and then I want to redirect my user on some another .asp page...

Relating to that, my questions is:

How can I specify, for example, time out period of 10 seconds?

Thank you in advance,

Tesic Goran

Add this header (substitute # of seconds you wish it to display for the 10)
<META HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" CONTENT="10; URL=http://yourhost.com/yoursecondasppage.asp">

[edit]
Oh, and i'm sure i don't need to mention it, but in the interest of being consistent i will anyway: http://yourhost.com/yoursecondasppage.asp should actually be the URL of your second page. Smile | :)

Smile | :)

And one other thing: there is almost certainly a way to do this with a call to the Response object, but i'm going from memory & can't remember what it might be ;~/

Required Field Validator & Validator Summary

10-Jun-02 10:56

10-Jun-02 10:56

Hi,

I've got a nice and heavy form that I need to validate before saving data to my database.
So I've decided to add some requierdFieldValidator on my form and one ValidatorSummary to regroup error message.

1st problem : When I leave a textBox, the associate requierdFieldValidator is fired.
2nd problem : the ValidatorSummary isn't used. It's always empty.

I've made a new form from crash and jsut put one TextBox, one requierdFieldValodator, one ValidatorSummary and one button and it's working fine.... only when I push the button.

I've compare all compenents between my form and my dummy form and it's exactly the same value Confused | :confused:

Confused | :confused:

Can someone know what I can do before throwing the computer by the window ?

Thanx
Sybux

on what event do you call the requierdFieldValidator? should it be in the form's OnSubmit?
...
better still, can you show us a snippet of your code?

I just want my validator to be activated like all other exemple I've seen : when I fired a button.

I can't realy give you source code because I don't know where the problem is and the form code is some huge.

I'm using

window.open("http://www.jvf.co.uk", "image", "resizeable=yes");

This opens a new browser window without any toolbar etc. I want it to be resizable.

This code does it all appart from making it resizeable. Anyone got any ideas why please? I'm using IE6 but want it compatable across as many versions etc as possible.. Thanks Smile | :)

Server Side Includes

Gavin_Mannion9-Jun-02 23:47

Hi All,

Does ASP.NET still support SSI's?
If so how do I do it?

My other question is in regard to Controls.
I have a control called 'navigation.ascx' which holds all my navigation buttons for my application.
I place this control below every page.
What I am trying to do is when the client clicks on Button1 I populate the database with all the data from Page1.

But I can't seem to figure out how to pass data to a control dynamically.
Is this possible?

Thanks,
Gavin

what I think you need to do is use the Application or Session object to store and pass information

How would Session Variables work?

Example:

I have a .aspx page with 1 text box on it called textbox1
After this control I have a control called button.ascx

When I load this page I click on the button which is in the control and I want it to redirect me to the URL that I have typed in textbox1 but I can't seem to access textbox1 from button.ascx

How would I do this?

Thanks,
Gavin

SAWilde11-Jun-02 10:51

assuming the textbox and button control are on the same page then (PS - I just worked this out myself [yesterday I discovered the Application/Session objects])

I made the textbox on the page public rather than protected

then in my handler for the button I did this

private void Button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
WebForm1 page = (WebForm1)Page;
Response.Redirect(page.TextBox1.Text,true);

}

I know it could be done better but I am just learning

also how do you position a control - mine seems to anchor itself to the top corner - irritating as I don't want it there

I set mine up by either placing them inside a HTML table or by using the style tag.

thanks - I eventualy placed it a grid layout panel which I think then turns into a div (or is a div)

What limitations exist for an ASP.NET webapplication as ragards a straight C# application.

I am trying to learn C# but I also need to know more about ASP.NET and since I can do the server side stuff in C# I thought I could combine the two tasks.

however I suspect that the c# in webapplications would be limited in someway - maybe not - but I'd like to know before I start racking my head over something I can't do

Help Deploying ASP.Net app

7-Jun-02 19:06

7-Jun-02 19:06

I am trying to deploy an ASP.Net project from my 2000 Pro box to my XP Pro box using the copy feature of VS.Net. I have successfully moved it to a 2000 Advanced server box. The problem is that when I try and move it to the XP box I am getting permission errors.

Now I have tried opening up the anonoymous access, logging on as Admin, etc and every conceivable thing I can think of with no luck. .Net simply refuses to allow me to copy the ASP.net app to this IIS server.

I have also verified that the 2000 Advanced server has the identical IIS settings as the XP box except for those settings that Advanced server provides which are not on the XP Pro version of IIS such as Operators.

Any thoughts as to why this is causing me such grief and how to fix it would be greatly appreciated

Have you tried making a 1 page ASP.NET project and seeing if you still get the same errors?

Actually the test case I am trying is a single ASPX file. It works if I pull the data to the server as opposed to puching it from my development box. Unfortunately I wouln't always have that luxury if I need to push to a third party host.
