Hi, maybe someone has some input on this.
I've been puttering around trying to set up a menu on the left side of my webpage that will load pages into the wider right side when the links are clicked.
I've tried frames, but there seems to be a problem with my server.
I've tried using <divs> for this, and downloading some ready made menu-generation programs that create a lot of Javascript, where the code is inaccessible, but evertying is too complex and doesn't give results, when place in my Linux-based hosting account.
Now I'm sort of wallowing in PHP, not making much headway.
Does anyone have experience regarding the simplest way to code this conceptual script, without Frames?:

1. Code for menu button with an anchor to a page on same server, located on left of webpage.
2. Code that when clicked, loads page into right side.

Thanks in advance
Shakhar

Save yourself a lot of hassle and use some existing software like WordPress or Drupal.

Try to ignore anything to do with frames or thinking in terms of you click in a menu and the right side of the page loads. Clicking on a menu can simply load another page with the same menu displayed - this is how the majority of websites work (such as here at CodeProject) and it doesn't have any of the problems associated with frames.

Thanks. Can you give me a few tips, about how this new paradigm works?
I'm now working on a website that I am gradually building up, so the menu gradually expands as I put in more pages, and this will continue indefinitely. In such a dynamically evolving situation, how would you go about setting up a workflow based on having the menu on every page?
Thank in advance

If you're using PHP, I'd recommend placing the code for the menu in a separate file, then including this in each of your pages using the include() function - then you can just change the central menu file and all changes will be reflected in each individual page that contains it.

Retrieve form values - Help

2-Nov-08 3:18

Thanks, I've started looking into PHP. However, its seems I have a sharp learning curve ahead of me, cause I don't know the faintest about PHP. Yet.
However, the question now is, which is the steeper learning curve: learning enough PHP to create this navigation, or taking the above advice and going into a CMS like Wordpress or Drupal?
I've only gone into website building because I wanted to get some content across, and I've been wasting virtually weeks, boning up on HTML, web-design, website hosting and now PHP, just to start off, and its seems the ocean is just getting deeper...
Appreciate any advice...

You can do it in a same way. But it would be better if you can go through the basic of developing web pages in asp.net (for mobile devices).

Which language are you using? .NET? PHP? PERL? ASP? Java? Python? Other?

With a bit more information on what you are actually using, would boost the chances of you receiving a reply. Smile | :)

Try this:

Request.QueryString["objectName"]
or
Request.QueryString("objectName")

Depending on the version of ASP you are making use of. Let me know if you still have any issues.

thanks cyber-drugs,

the form action is set to post not get, so i have used request.form("objectname") and that works for all my textboxes etc but doesnt work for my datepicker controls and also my textarea control.

The code loops through the controls and adds there names and values to a table to be emailed. It recognised all the control names but no values for the controls mentioned above.

thanks for your help again

I really should change my username...

Anyway Dee, unfortunately I took presumption that you were making use of ASP.NET, and not classic ASP (request.querystring retrieves both POST and GET in .NET, just to make things easier).

Would you be able to post your HTML code, so I can try it out quickly, and in return I will give you my findings.

Watir testing: Get type [modified]

I am really hoping someone has good news on this because it will make my life way easier.

i am writing a function in Watir for checking elements on a page to see if they are there. i am wondering if Watir has a way to "get type" on an element. So say I am passing "browser.image(:src,/happy.gif/)" to the def, is there a way to look at it and say "that is an img", or "that isnt a radio"?

Edit:

The answer is "yes" Big Grin | :-D

use .class, so "puts browser.image(:src,/happy.gif/).class"
writes "Watir::Image"

Good stuff Smile | :)

Hi, I have a small application communicating with a server on local host. Lately it appears another application is using same port as mine and I would like to query this server to be able to identify it.
So I would like to know if there is a way to get a server name, or application, with Winsosk ?
Thanks,

*Sorry to bother*
I got the answer another way, so I don't need the answer anymore. Still, I would be interested to do it programmatically. This is the kind of tricks that can be needed again.
