ASP.NET

24-Jun-07 21:54

Hi,

I am having a big problem with the interface and getting quite irritated about it.

This is what I encountered:

I have a table and I inserted two list box into one column which sits side by side of each other like this.

[ListBox1] [ListBox2]

Unfortunately when I open it in the web browser, the listboxes were in stack form like this.

[Listbox1]
[Listbox2]

And when I try to adjust the size of the table column width, it just would not move/change.

Did I miss out some settings or it's just how ASP.net works? Btw, I view it in IE7.

Hi,

Why dont u put them in differennt column?

and if u insist them to be diplayed to in single cell then u can further create a table with two columns inside the cell and put listboxex in those columns.

I hope this will help you.

Thanks and Regards,
Chetan Ranpariya

Well, the simple answer is not to use tables for layout, in case you hadn't heard there a bit antiquated - check out CSS (although I won't lie about its learning curve). However, select elements aren't block level elements so I don't see why they would force a new line. There is obviously something else going on that you're not aware of, have a look at the generated markup to see whats there, and if the width you set for the column is getting set correctly.

Use vertical align in the columns of the table cells.
It solved many a problems for me.
Hope it does for you too.

You might be able to solve this problem via CSS. Try creating a custom CSS class for the list views, with the property { display: inline }.

Would Char.Parse[^] be enough? Or what more detail do you need?

thanks friend, but i need to encrypt a password and for that i heard that char.parse() is used. Is it true or we have anyother methods for encrypting a password?

That's what happens when you believe what you hear in the schoolyard.

There's a whole System.Crypography namespace full of stuff for encrypting and decrypting stuff.
