You could have broken the query or formatted it to fit the resolution. It breaks my screen alongside crossing a wear-and-tear of my new HP mouse on constant pulling and dragging of it. Mad | :mad:

Haha, sorry for you having to scroll to see the code, first time poster.

oQuery.Query = "$content  "& strQuery & " "&_
"AND NOT #path *_admin* "&_
"AND NOT #path *images* "&_
"AND NOT #filename *.class "&_
"AND NOT #filename *.asa "&_
"AND NOT #filename *.css "&_
"AND NOT #filename *.js "&_
"AND NOT #filename _*.*"

Better?

I changed the @all to only search in the $content and sortBy hitcount achieved exactly what I wanted.

I am calling a method getDirectories() present in an Applet which returns a string value, am
calling this from the javascript. When I run this script from the Internet Explorer, the
getDirectories() returns “C:, D:” but when I am calling this method from the Firefox it
returns [Object Event] but I am expecting “C:, D:”. Can you please help me what should I do
to get the correct string value.

Thanks in Advance

Is this semantically correct? - nevermind, it's not, but is still an issue

Link to the original post here[^]

To use an IMG tag without the src attribute?I mean what kind of assholes did they hire to write Opera? I've been wresting with various Opera idiosyncracies for three days now, and those are enough to drive someone to commit hara-kiri, although this particular issue here applies to Safari as well.

From what i know, a SPAN element is supposed to be nearly equal to a DIV, with the exception of the latter's paragraph breaks, although i realize that in practice it's not exactly the case. I've run into issues before where IE incorrectly applies height and width to spans, making them inadequate for the purpose i intended, but i've been able to use another method to accomplish the same thing, so it worked out okay. But this problem here involves the rendering (or more precisely, lack thereof) of a background image applied to the span via CSS. I've been looking for a fix for perhaps an hour or two, but then stumbled onto the solution by sheer accident, when i made a mistake of assigning the wrong class name to a different element, which was off by one character. With the same idea in mind i was able to use a malformed img tag to correct the problem i was having and it isn't an outrageously ugly hack, but considering that i try to keep my work 100% semantically correct, it's somewhat of an eyesore.

No, that's really not correct at all. Both src and alt are required attributes, and should never be omitted.
Of course, most browsers will let you get away with omitting them, especially alt... but still, you shouldn't.

Why, if i might ask, would you want to do such a thing anyway? IMG elements have some very odd rendering behaviors in most browsers, and to my knowledge can never be used as a container for text or anything else... so what's the point of using one with no src?

I'm asking about a third party control here because it's fairly well known, and its 01:10 here and I still have far to go. I'm trying to extract values from the inForm autogenerated editing controls on a telerik rad Grid. Despite setting a column's type to e.g. Int32 I still get exeptions because the DictionaryEntry's value is always a string. Any advice?

private void grdEmployees_UpdateCommand(object sender, GridCommandEventArgs e)
    GridEditableItem editedItem = e.Item as GridEditableItem;
    Hashtable values = new Hashtable();
    e.Item.OwnerTableView.ExtractValuesFromItem(values, editedItem);

    User usr = new User();

    Type t = typeof(User);
    foreach (DictionaryEntry field in values)
    {
        PropertyInfo prop = t.GetProperty(field.Key.ToString());
        if (prop != null)
                 prop.SetValue(usr, field.Value, null);
    }

URGENT: Cannot access vars from code behind file

Hi there

I've been working on this problem for ages now and it makes no sense. I have a create user wizard and wish to put variable within it, the problem is that i cannot for some reason see these variables from the code behind file. Below is a basic example of the aspx file:

<asp:CreateUserWizard runat="server" ID="CreateUserWizard1" AutoGeneratePassword="False"
ContinueDestinationPageUrl="../GeneralForms/Default.aspx" FinishDestinationPageUrl="../GeneralForms/Default.aspx">
<WizardSteps>
<asp:CreateUserWizardStep ID="CreateUserWizardStep1" runat="server">
<ContentTemplate>
<asp:textbox runat="server" id="txtTest"/>
</ContentTemplate>
</asp:CreateUserWizardStep>
</WizardSteps>
</CreateUserWizard>

Now the bolded text box for some reason cannot be seen by this web pages code behind file. Does anyone know why or have a solution.

Thank you so much in advance for any help. I'm going CrAzY!! Dead | X|

Hey Devin,

I faced the same problem before. Sometimes this happened when The asp Control is placed outside the tag. Check your code and see if that is the case.

Cheers,

Throw something like javascript:alert(unescape("http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Eprintroom%2Ecom%2Fpreview%5Flarge12%2F64249086%5Flt%5F%2Ejpg")) into the address bar and you'll get what you want...

It is in URLEncoded format. Call Javascript unescape("http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Eprintroom%2Ecom%2Fpreview%5Flarge12%2F64249086%5Flt%5F%2Ejpg")

Control Keywords

L Viljoen26-Jun-07 3:30

26-Jun-07 3:30

Hi to all

My web site stores all the page content(HTML Format stored in a database via a wysiwyg-editor) I am busy developing a technique where if someone (like a admin using the backend) puts in certain keywords Eg. @#ContactControl#@ in the html code(that gets stored on the database)the custom control shows up in the frontend if the string gets recogised by the string processing method. odes anyone have some expert knowledge on how to best use this technique ?

I am thinking a counter for every occurance of @# then to daclare a array of HTMLGenericControls that will be added before and after the control keywords(that will become the control) controls itself.

Eg paragraph before @#Mail#@ paragraph after 

Will create 2 HTMLGeneric controls [array] in the codebehind and one mailControl.

then I will add the code to the content panel as follow

panel1.add(genCntr[0]);
panel1.add(mailer);
panel1.add(genCntr[1]);

thanx in advance

My manager asked me "Can we put the web site keywords in the "Super Meta" tags" ?

I did not know how to answer, because i did not hear about something called "Super Meta" tags?

Do anyone know about it ??

Shog⁹26-Jun-07 6:43

26-Jun-07 6:43

Well, as you probably know, meta tags are used to simulate headers and otherwise provide auxiliary information about a page. One type of meta tag, the keywords tag, looks like this:

<meta name="keywords" content="bacon, eggs, spam, spam, spam, spam">

search engines once used these keywords in categorizing pages, but their use by spammers and SEOs quickly made them nearly useless - today's search engines put little or no value on their content, and may ignore them entirely.

This is where Super meta tags come in. Unlike ordinary Meta tags, Super meta tags go in the body of the HTML document, and look like this:

<h1 class="supermeta">Bacon! Eggs! Useful information regarding weightloss pills!</h1>

Obviously, this has a lot more "punch" to it than boring old meta tags, due largely to the use of exclamation points between keywords...

Hello All ,

I red all Google books and i am working in search engines optimization since 3 years, i never heard about the Super meta tags.
The super meta tags depends on what you fill the content of these tags, you can make your meta tags super by filling them in the right way with the right contents, there is nothing called Super Meta Tags in search engines.
what you put here is one of the Google weighting factors, Google gives the text in the bold (headers) more weight than the other normal text.

finally ... meta tags should not be visible to the user, it is just for the crawler and what you put here is visible.

I hope that i am helping programmers
