to the header of your page.
Upload your ico ... do a chmod +rx to the file icon(it needs "execute" to be displayed).

If you still have problems add to httpd.config or .htaccess

AddType image/x-icon .ico

Datalist Control alternative layout...

hey all,

Don't know whether this is possible or not so thought I'd put it out there as I can't seem to find an answer through google...

I need to create an online advent calendar, this is easy enough in itself, I'm filling up a Datalist in a grid, enough said..... Except...

The MD of the company (not a technical person) wants the layout to be less grid like.

She wants it to flow more, for example, top row would contain 3 windows, next would be 4, then 3, then 4 etc.

Can this be done in one datalist? The cells would need to be staggered (like brickwork). I thought about using flow mode but it always ends up as a grid at the moment.

Do I need to use multiple datalists/repeaters (1 per row)?

I'm happy to have it as a grid, but then I also want to deliver the best I can.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, even if its just pointers in a vaguely right direction.

Cheers in advance...

Mark

Oh you'll have fun with that! I suggest the approach to take may be to keep flow layout and capture the ItemDataBound event, inserting
tags after every third (on odd rows) or every fourth (on even rows) item... probably need a couple of static counters to track row and item counts... then centre the whole thing in a div... be a bit tricky, but should be possible...

markymark824-Nov-08 3:43

4-Nov-08 3:43

hmmm...

Thought it might be something like that, was just hoping Smile | :)

for something a bit more simple I suppose.

The annoying thing is that there's no RowDataBound Event for a datalist or repeater. How hard would it be to create a custome Datalist control with a rowdatabound event? that way I could change the number of columns based on alternating rows? (at least, that's how it looks in my head, I'm sure it would probably never work like that...)

Cheers for the response I'll look into it.

As time is tight then I guess they'll just get what I can fit in.

Thanks again

Mark

Write it, let us know and write an article about it! Smile | :)

Of course, being an Advent Calendar, I presume the numbner of items is fixed.... in which case you could just use a sort of brute force approach and dispense with teh datalist altogether and just bind your data directly to 25 (or whatever) labels (oe whatever)... at least then you could have total control over the layout... or, as you suggested, separate datalists for each row. Bit inelegant, but as longa sit woreks. Your real problems only arise if the number of items isn't fixed...

Ask a stupid question I suppose...

Well maybe I will, but first... How do you create Custom Server Controls Smile | :)

Unless of course someone has pitty after reading this and decides that they could do a better job than I ever could and writes an article in time for me to use it by christmas!

Will probably go down the brute force route as time is short and my list of work is long.

Thanks for all the pointers, I'll be sure to make good use of them.

php sprintf

Hi all,

When writing an email in response to a button, I compose the content of the mail from php, using (amongst others) the sprinf instruction in order to create columns with fixed widths:

$msg .= sprintf ("%-10s", $item['number']);
$msg .= sprintf ("%-30s", $item['product']);
$msg .= sprintf ("%-5s", $item['size']);
$msg .= sprintf ("%-12s", $item['color']);
$msg .= sprintf ("%9d" , $item['quantity]);
$msg .= sprintf ("%11.2f", $total);
$msg .= "\n";

etc. However, these widths are not always the same in the different rows, resulting in extremely messy emails! I have tried replacing the spaces with periods (sprintf ("%'.-10s",.....) which still gives different column width over de rows. Does anyone have a solution for this problem please?

Thanks in advance,
William

Is there a way to hide all of your query paramters in the URL so the user cannot change the values? For example, instead of http://localhost:4777/LINQ/DML/Grid%20View%20-%20select/HyperLinkOrderDetails.aspx?aOrderID=10248&CustomerId=VINET, can we change the URL to simply be: http://localhost:4777/LINQ/DML/Grid%20View%20-%20select/HyperLinkOrderDetails.aspx (thus not showing the orderID or Customer ID?)

Thanks!

Yes, you can, you make use of POST method, rather than GET method on the form which is submitting the query. If you are still having some trouble, perhaps posting a code snippet of how you navigate to this page, would be of great benefit for us to help you out.

Sure...I basically have a linqdata source retrieving the Orders table from northwind. I then have a grid displaying the OrderId, Shipped Date and a new column that is a hyperlink. The hyperlink will build a DataNavigateURL to pass the orderID and customerId to a new page (HyperLinkOrderDetails.aspx?aOrderID={0}&CustomerId={1}).

Any way that I can only display http://localhost/HyperLinkOrderDetails.aspx instead of http://localhost/HyperLinkOrderDetails.aspx?aOrderID=ABCD&CustomerId=12345?

  <asp:gridview id="GridView1" runat="server" allowpaging="True" xmlns:asp="#unknown">
      AllowSorting="True" AutoGenerateColumns="False" DataKeyNames="OrderID"
      DataSourceID="dsOrders" onrowcreated="GridView1_RowCreated"
      onrowdatabound="GridView1_RowDataBound"
      onrowcommand="GridView1_RowCommand">
      <columns>
          <asp:commandfield showselectbutton="True" />
          <asp:boundfield datafield="OrderID" headertext="OrderID" insertvisible="False">
              ReadOnly="True" SortExpression="OrderID" >
          <asp:boundfield datafield="ShippedDate" headertext="ShippedDate">
              SortExpression="ShippedDate" >
          <asp:hyperlinkfield>
              DataNavigateUrlFields="OrderId, CustomerId"
              DataNavigateUrlFormatString="HyperLinkOrderDetails.aspx?aOrderID={0}&CustomerId={1}"
              HeaderText = "Order Details"
              Text="View order details" />
</asp:hyperlinkfield></asp:boundfield></asp:boundfield></columns>
  </asp:gridview>
  <asp:linqdatasource id="dsOrders" runat="server" xmlns:asp="#unknown">
      ContextTypeName="NorthwindDataContext" TableName="Orders">
  </asp:linqdatasource>

URL Encode - general understanding

Hello,

I'm trying to understand more about when and why we should use URLEncode for asp.net. Currently I don't use it anywhere in my DetailView. Basically, anytime I request information from the users, I have a DetailView control where they input the information, along with validation controls to verify content/busines rules. Once they submit it, the row is inserted into the db.

1) Should URLEncode be used anytime you gather data from a user?

2) When should it (or should not) be used?

3) Is the general idea behind URLEncode to allow your application to accept special characters ' & / <>, but in a safe way b/c we're encoding them.

4) Is the actual string stored with the hexadecimal charactes in the db...thus you have to decode if you're displaying the data from the db?

Thanks!

Hi,

I have an activeX object on my page and the script below to interact with it. I'd like to move this script into a .js file and reference it using standard hash include at the top of the html. (right now the script works when it sits at the bottom of my index.html file.

With my limited javascript experience it seems that I can't put tag into a .js file. Is there another way to accomplish this?

<pre>
<html>
...
ATL ActiveX object
...
</html>

<script for="CMyWebPlugin" event="genericJavaScriptEvent(methodName, parameters)">
if (methodName == "LaunchApp")
{
LaunchApp();
}
if (methodName == "login")
{
MyLogin(LoginDiv, parameters);
}
if (methodName == "logout")
{
MyLogout(LogoutDiv, parameters);
}
</script></pre>

Why hash-include, in particular? If you just want it to be in an external file, can't you use something like:

<script src="myjsfile.js" for="CMyWebPlugin" event="genericJavaScriptEvent(methodName, parameters)"></script>

and save everyhing between your script tags in myjsfile.js ?

Hi everybody,

I am writing a website that is based on an iframe (i know, not everybody likes iframes, but my client wants music playing on the background that will not be interrupted by pages changes) I want the new pages to be called-in by a little piece of javascript, for which I use the following line:

"<td><a href="javascript:selectPage(0)" target="content">home</a></td>"

However, I keep getting the errormessage that the function "selectPage" is not defined. When I change the code to:

<td><a href="#" onclick="javascript:selectPage(0)" target="content">home</a></td>

Then everything works. The only problem here is that it loads the entire page in the "content" frame, and the part that I want only every other time.

Does anyone have an idea why the "selectPage" function is not recognised in the href, although it is found when placed in an "onclick"?

Thanks in advance,
William

Re: How Can I save Web Page?

2-Nov-08 23:16

Hint: tich the "Ignore HTML tags in this message (good for code snippets)" box bext time you post code...

The href property expects to see a URL (absolute or relative), so unless your selectPage function returns this you will get an error. Take the target="_blank" out of your second example, and do everything in your JS function.
