My opinion IS knowledge. ASP.NET IS a part of Web Development. And these forums DO have rules, one of which is not to cross post, and you did so.

Hey all - new to the site and could really use some help.
My situation: I have a form that needs to post results to a specific URL (which is on a different server and I have no control over). Essentially it is a lead generating form...
But after I post to the URL, I want it then to redirect back to a page on my site, a thank you page.
I believe I need some sort of form processing script, where the form results are processed, sent to the URL and then the script redirects or displays a Thank you message.
I don't know how to write such a script though.
I know that the form action will need to call the script, but I don't know how to pass the results to the processing script nor how to make the script then POST them to the URL.
Any help would be greatly appreciated - Thanks!

So you want to fetch the contents from another domain(cross domain). i used sockets to do that.
if you are using php then use the function fsockopen. this is very simple comparing to win32 function.
if you are using java then use the Socket class...
you can get lots of codes or links regarding this in google.
the php maunal gives you an example program which is working will for me with a little modification.
and after all the basic concept for all lauguages is the same for sockets... or HTTP so ...
if you want more specific reference then ping me again...

Hi,
I want to know if it is best practices to add styling directly to you web page, or should everything be referenced to a stylesheet? I jsut want to add a to a couple of words.

Ideally, you'll keep styles in a stylesheet. So for instance, if you wanted something like this:
As preparations draw to a close for the April release, we need to keep in mind that it is crucial that all developers work to keep QA informed of pending updates.
...you might then use this markup:
As preparations draw to a close for the April release,
<em class="Warning">we need to keep in mind</em>
that it is <em>crucial</em> that all developers work to keep
<abbr title="quality assurance">QA</abbr> informed of pending updates.
...and this stylesheet:
EM { font-style: italic; }
EM.Warning
{
border: 1px solid red;
padding:5px;
margin: 20px;
background-color:#FFE3E0;
}
ABBR { border-bottom: dotted 1px black; }
But who is the king of all of these folks?

Like anything, it's a matter of preference, I suppose. But consider this: if you are styling more than one page (say 10? 100? virutal pages?) the external CSS is most effective since you can make simple changes in the CSS which cascade throughout your entire site. If you do the changes inline, then you need to copy/paste the code to each page you want to benefit from it. The more efficiently you work, the more productive and cost-effective you'll be.

Hi,
i wonder how singleton works on webservices(WS).
In normal(WinForms) application im using singleton for handling database connection - dont wasting time for creating new connection etc. So i wonder how it looks on WS - singleton instance is created one for each client? Or maybe one for whole WS? Any idea? Or maybe i shouldnt use singleton in WS?
Greetings

No maybe about it. Connection pooling[^] is what you want to use on a server.

Hi,
I have the following border width:
border:solid 1px #b7cceb;
1px is too thin, and 2px is too thick, is there something like 1.5px? 
Thanks

Yes. But since most browsers don't do sub-pixel rendering, you might have some issues.

Firefox will... sorta.
Rather, it won't actually draw a border smaller than 1 pixel, but it will draw adjacent .5px borders as 1px, so somewhere it's keeping track.
blah blah
[Edit: and apparently, it doesn't even do that when in Quirks mode, so i can't properly demo this on CP...  ]

That's sort of what IE does in tables with the "collapse" style but you can't actually draw half a pixel. I mean there is no support for that at the device level right? - still mildly confused -

Well, it depends on how you think about it. If you're zooming in on a document, for instance, you might well have "pixels" rendering as multiple device pixels. You could conceivably also render a 1.5px black horizontal line on a white background as a 1px black line, with a 1px gray line above it. That example would probably just end up looking blurry though.

Yeah that's what I thought. I could stand on my head and do a tap dance too but you still can't draw half a pixel.

More along the lines of, "I need this vehicle to travel at 15 Miles Per Day, even when it's on Mars where days are longer". Your reference point can change, and you may not want your results to change with it. This works both ways; for instance: if you print a web page, you almost certainly don't want 1px to equal 1 dot on the page.
And FWIW, on an LCD display you actually can do sub-pixel rendering by taking into account the layout of colors in each pixel - this is how ClearType operates.

From Wikipedia: so the red bold text refers to the "device as defined by the API" that you as a developer have access to through the OS or software layer you are using. It appears that currently we don't have access to the subpixel capabilities but since they are in three colors, even if you do you still can't draw half a pixel. Thanks though for discussing this with me, prompting me to do some reading rather than just typing and running my mouth like I usually do! 
Wikipedia snips
--------------
Like most other types of subpixel rendering, ClearType actually involves a compromise, sacrificing one aspect of image quality (color or chrominance detail) for another (light and dark or luminance detail). The compromise improves text appearance because when viewing black and white text, luminance detail is more important than chrominance. The compromise works because it takes advantage of certain peculiarities of human vision.
and
Normally, the software in a computer treats the computer’s display screen as a rectangular array of square, indivisible pixels, each of which has an intensity and color that are determined by the blending of three primary colors: red, green, and blue. However, actual display hardware usually implements each pixel as a group of three adjacent, independent subpixels, each of which displays a different primary color. Thus, on a real computer display, each pixel is actually composed of separate red, green, and blue subpixels. For example, if a flat-panel display is examined under a magnifying glass, the pixels may appear as follows:

You are correct. A pixel is the smallest rendering point at the device level. You can't technically draw half a pixel. But there are ways to make it look and feel as if you had, but it would look blurry without a high resolution screen.

Hi
In my application i have *.swf and image files for Advertisements.I have to mantain Click Through rate (CTR), For that I have to made this file clickables. In case of Image file i used anchor tag but for swf files i have used object tag but not able to make it clickable.

You can't use anchor tag. The link needs to be embedded in the swf file.

Most frustrating. The format of the website cannot be changed:
I have 5 web pages each with a form. These page forms have content the user can edit & redit.On the top of each page is a menu bar affording the user to toggle back and forth to any of the 5 pages viewing the respective content. Now say the user toggles to page 2, makes changes to the content, via a RadEditor, toggles to page 5, then retoggles to page 2 to see the changes he just made.
Here's the delema: During these edits/redits, the revised content CANNOT be posted as an update to the database. Only AFTER the user is satisfied with all the edits made, does he click button 6 for "Update All My Changes".
I cannot have one page with all the form elements listed via visible/not visible panels. I cannot use session objects, or cookies - there is just too much data. I heard about the cache object / application object but I do not know if it plays a part here. Also note there could be thousands of concurrent users taking this initially identical data content then editing it to each's own unique wants.
So in short, how can I have several editable web pages of form elements that allow the user to see the changes they made, even after clicking off and then back to that form without using a database update or items mentioned above. Remember, They will not let me hit the database until aff the edits on the 5 web page forms are complete. Thanks.
Update:
I have reevaluated the entire process.
I've decided to utilize the file stream object and have them edit their entire page.
Now, I have to figure out how to reiterate thru these modified forms to place the data into the db.

Why not have some tables in the database for inprogress changes. If they cancel then changes are deleted, if they submit the changes are copied to the real tables.

Why are posting this in all forums???
