Hi doWhileSomething,

I am in fact already using a master page.

I would like to use a generic piece of html code in certain sections of pages, but not necessarily the SAME areas (else this could prob be done nicely with the master page).

Just a simple piece of html being 'included' (like with php, if I want to conditionally include a piece of code, simply do: if($yesPleaseIncludeAdsenseHere == true){ include "inc/adsense.php"; }) in certain areas, like such:

Page1.aspx:
- -- - - -
table...stuff stuff

INCLUDE section (html / javascript) *

stuff stuff blah blah

- - - - - -

Page2.aspx
- - - - - - -
stuff stuff blah

more stuff stuff

html table or whatever blah blah

INCLUDE section (html / javascript) *

- - - - - - -

* perhaps i can create this section in a seperate html file and simply do Response.WriteFile("includeFile.html") eh?

Cheerio,
Gerry

Creating a user control IMO is certainly the way to go and master pages in most ways will simplify the entire project. With a user control, you could put it where every you want, whenever you want and maintain just the one code stub that resides in the user control (basically a fancy include).

You can add your control to the page at design time or run time wrapped in a conditional statement. I would say loading it at run time is the best method though if your not always going to make it visible on a given page. With this, you can just call a method based off of your criteria.

e.g. record in a db, certain browser restrictions, cookies, etc..

Another option is to place the contents in a panel and just toggle the visibility of the panel (or any control), but this is probably the least desired way of achieving your goal.

Hi there,

I tried using a label and then programmatically setting its content in the Page_Load() method (so i check the contents of the label and then, depending on what it is, set it to some html).

The problem comes in when trying to set the text equal to javascript: since the word "" occurs in the javascript itself, regardless of whether its specified in a string, VS reads it as the end of the asp tag!

but besides this problem, i need to have ONE place which contains the generic code, therefore im just doing Respose.WriteFile("adsense/adOne.html") (which contains the javascript for adsense) and that doesn't seem to have the same file access error that FileStream produces!

weird...

If your hell bent on not creating a control, and want to dynamically add the script, you should take a look at the page.registerstartupscript method. http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.ui.page.registerstartupscript.aspx[^]

Also, get rid of the label control, for stuff like this (raw text/HTML) using a literal control is a much better option. It has no mark up tags once rendered to the browser. The label control renders its text between "span" tags. (FYI).

If your simply not sure how to create a control and want some help with it, just ask. I have no problem taking a few minutes to help you with it.

how to call function exposed by IDispatch in ActiveX control?

hi there doWhileSomething,

yeah i would very much like to learn about a literal control.

I'm not hell-bent on not using a control (in fact i'd prefer to use one!). But just as a reference, here's the code im currently using (which works quite well, but what would be better is if I could load in an html file and populate the contents of a control with it in the Page_Load function, since currently the the label already has text, so if for some reason the html file doesn't write, there will be text on the page Frown | :(

<br />
<br />
<div class="adsense" align="center"><br />
         <asp:Label ID="adsenseLabel" runat="server" Text="gvt">       <br />
                   <br />
      <%<br />
          if(adsenseLabel.Text == "ab")<br />
              Response.WriteFile(ResolveClientUrl("~/adsense/as_articleBottom_ab.html"));<br />
          else<br />
              Response.WriteFile(ResolveClientUrl("~/adsense/as_articleBottom_gvt.html"));                  <br />
      %><br />
      <br />
      </asp:Label><br />
      </div><br />

how does script language to use my function exposed by IDispatch?for Example:there is a function declare as: long add(long n1,long n2),the script how to call this function?

Later buggers harm more.

How do I control the appearance of checkboxes?

I have checkboxes on my website and I want to do the following:

* change the color of the check in the checkbox
* change the border color of the checkbox
* change the size of the checkbox
* left align the edge of the checkbox with the other controls on my page

All of my chages refer to the little square checkbox it's self and not the entire control.

Can you please tell me if it is possible and if not what the alternatives are?

Thank you.

Christian Graus24-Jul-07 12:42

I am pretty sure you cannot change the size. As to the others, the best place to look is to read up on html, at the end of the day, what you're asking doesn't have anything to do with ASP.NET, you need to know if a browser is able to show checkboxes with different colors.

Aligning them is up to you, you can use tables or CSS to position your controls.

Thanks for the reply but it still doesn't answer my question. I have done a bunch of research on this issue and can't seem to be able to find the answer for, checkboxes specifically, any where.

I wouldn't have asked the question if the answer was css. I know enough to read the basic books on HTML and there is no answer in any of them to my question. If you don't have a specific answer to my question please don't insult my intelligance with stupid answers.

Start a table outside the dataset, with the first row. Close it after the repeater.

1 - you need to define 'doesn't work' so people know what your problem is.

2 - There's no data item to evaluate in the header or footer.

3 - I don't see you creating a footer item, or even a main template, is there code missing ?

4 - I assume all of this is inside a repeater, you didn't post that code.

Can't link dropdown menu to gridview with access db back end

24-Jul-07 14:05

OK.

1 - you cannot get data from the dataset in your header. Where do you expect it to come from ( what row ? )
2 - this code is defining a table with two rows. The whole point of a repeater is that you define a template for a single row, and the repeater iterates over the rows of your data source, using the template each time.
3 - Nothing you've done here is likely to do anything much at all. It seems you're hopelessly lost, you should read up on the repeater control, on MSDN perhaps, so you understand the tool you're trying to use.

Hi,
I'm using vb.net 2.0 and attempting to load a gridview with my access database. And then update the gridview and the database with a series of dropdowns (I'm starting with one dropdown until I get that one working). I've been told via many sites it's possible with the aspx page and no actual coding in 2.0 but I've been unsuccessful. PLEASE HELP!

When I remove the last part of the where clause from my select statement in my select command, the gridview will appear on the page (won't appear otherwise) but the dropdown is useless. I have been working on this simple task for WEEKS unsuccessfully and I really need help. Thanks in advance to anyone who is smarter than me Smile | :)
