Modal dialog opacity

hello - I've launched a modal dialog but opacity setting dont seems to work...

<br />
function showConventionalModalDialog()<br />
		{<br />
			var ParmA = retvalA.value;<br />
			var ParmB = retvalB.value;<br />
			var ParmC = retvalC.value;<br />
			var MyArgs = new Array(ParmA, ParmB, ParmC);<br />
			var WinSettings = "center:yes;resizable:no;dialogWidth:750px;dialogHeight:200px;filter:alpha(opacity=25);-moz-opacity:.25;opacity:.25;"<br />
			var MyArgs = window.showModalDialog("conventionalPopup.html?dest=Page1", MyArgs, WinSettings);<br />
<br />
			return;<br />
	}<br />

Now in modal dialog body tag, I've added:

<br />
style="float:left;filter:alpha(opacity=25);-moz-opacity:.25;opacity:.25;"<br />

This seems to have made dialog "transparent" that content on the dialog is greyed out - but the modal dialog itself is 100% opaque.

Thanks!

Http Modules

Hi All,

Im using C# , Visual Studio 2008, to learn a bit more about HTTP Modules and HTTP Handlers.

I understand why it is used for, however in trying to absorb the basics of the code it is a bit difficult.

Im trying to make a http module which recognizes session state management. Ie A user that must login with a password and if they login correctly then they have access to certain pages.

Another thing that springs to my curiousity is how you are able to establish the connection between the user interface(ie textbox values etc to what is specified in the http module), ie how do you make it work.

Can someone give me a rundown of how the above might work.

Regards

I don't think that HTTPModule is really needed for this. You can do this in the page level and I think that would be the appropriate choice than a HttpModule. This can be done by checking for the session in each page load which needs to be secured. More neat approach would be to create separate classes for secured and normal pages and derive your pages from it. You create two classes say NormalPage and SecuredPage both derived from System.Web.UI.Page

SecuredPage will have the session checking code. All the pages which needs to be secured, derive from SecuredPage. It's very easy to implement.

CrimeanTurtle2008 wrote:

You don't access user interface elements from a HttpModule.

HttpModule sits in the request pipeline and allows programmers to examine the requests and take necessary actions if required. It is executed for every request. Most wide used example of HttpModules are URL-rewriting.

HttpHandler is responsible for handling the requests and supplying data. Assume you have to prevent access to all jpg files in your website, you can write a handler and hook the jpg extensions to this handler.

Hope this helps

Hi All,

I have a form that has 2 datepicker controls on my form, like this -

<cc1:DatePicker id="dropoffdate" runat="server" imgDirectory="/images/" DateType="dd mmm yyyy"/>

<cc1:DatePicker id="pickupdate" runat="server" imgDirectory="/images/" DateType="dd mmm yyyy"/>

The forms method is POST and action is Backup.asp.

In Backup.asp this code loops through the forms controls that are in the forms _fieldorder.

<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">

<tr>

<th colspan="2" valign="bottom">Thank you, the following information has been sent:/th>
<tr>

<% for each name in fieldOrder %>
<tr valign="top>
<td><strong><% = name %></strong></td>

<td><%= Request.Form(name) %>/td>
</tr>
<%next %>
</table>

When the code runs this is the result.

Thank you, the following information has been sent:

Hi Everyone,

i finally found the answer on the page where i downloaded the control code.

had to refer to the control like this

request.form("dropoffdate$foo")

and it works then.

Hope this helps anyone that had the same problem.

I've got an ASP .NET webpage with the following structure:

<asp:DataGrid ID="aGrid">
  <Columns>
    <asp:TemplateColumn>
      <ItemTemplate>
        <asp:Repeater ID="aRepeater">
          <HeaderTemplate>
            <asp:Label ID="aLabel" Text='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "SomeColumn") %>'></asp:Label>
          </HeaderTemplate>
          <ItemTemplate>
            <asp:TextBox ID="aTextBox" AutoPostBack="true" OnTextChanged="SomeEvent"></asp:TextBox>
          </ItemTemplate>
        </asp:Repeater>
      </ItemTemplate>
    </asp:TemplateColumn>
  </Columns>
</asp:DataGrid>

The problem I'm having is that I would like to access the data that is stored in the label aLabel in the OnTextChanged event. What I'm doing to achieve this purpose is:

void SomeEvent(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    //Bind aRepeater to a certain data source in the ItemDataBound event of aGrid

    //Get reference to aRepeater
    //Parent gets you the RepeaterItem
    //Parent.Parent gets you the Repeater
    Repeater r = (sender as TextBox).Parent.Parent;
    
    //Assert that r.DataSource != null
}

My assertion, however, fails, and even if I get aLabel.Text, it ends up being an empty string, since r.DataSource is null (despite the fact that in the ItemDataBound event of aGrid, I already bound the repeater to a data source). After some debugging, I noticed that Repeater r is not the same repeater as the one that I bound in the ItemDataBound event of aGrid, but how could that be? In the ItemDataBound event of aGrid, I do the following...

<br />
//e is DataGridItemEventArgs object in ItemDataBound event<br />
e.Item.FindControl("aRepeater") as Repeater;<br />

...which I assume should be equivalent to...

(sender as TextBox).Parent.Parent;

Sorry for the long post.

Sending an email in the page unload seems a bit odd to me. I mean, I am not even sure what the control state would be at this point.

1 - You have a control called ChangedLabel and the text needs to be Yes, in that casing, yes and YES will fail. Is this right ?
2 - you have a debug flag in the program, if it's set to true, then the mail won't send.
3 - I don't see any code that sets up the mail server, so I don't think this code would work.
4 - the email addresses are all hard coded, as is the message, making it harder to change them later, this is an example of the terrible quality of work you get when you pay someone in India peanuts to do a job, especially if you're clueless about development, an Indian team needs a firm and experienced hand to keep them in line and make them deliver a decent product, or at least one that's in line with the spec. This is not because they are Indian, it's because they are remote, and usually under experienced. The same would happen if you were in New York and hired first year students in LA, which is, in essence what you probably ended up doing.

Let me clarify....I was very happy with the stateside coder. I released him from the project, thinking I had found the bugs. The project has been up and running for some time now.

In response to your list:

1. The users must click on a an agree button, so I believe this is the Yes...no option of yes or YES

2. so if I just make the debug to true, I can bypass the email sending until I figure this out?

3. The mail server set up is in my web.config file

4. The email being sent is notifying me when users enter info into my db, hence letting me know when I have accounts to process.

Christian Graus9-Dec-08 11:16

9-Dec-08 11:16

1 - sure seems strange to me, you're checking the text on a control, that seems a round about way to check if a button was checked.
2 - If you make debug true, then the email object is still created ( inefficient, but it won't break anything ) and the email just won't send. Isn't the email not sending your issue ?
3 - you can do that, and it automatically configures the server when you create the object ? OK, I didn't know that
4 - If I were you, I would set up a table in the DB that does this, you could still send an email, but then you can check the DB and it will tell you what users have entered data. I would always have a backup, in case an email is lost.

I am sorry. I was not clear. It is generating emails, actually a LOT of them. It seems one is generated each time a text box updates.I get emails telling me 0 records are changed and one each time a record is changed. My problem is intermittent. About every 10 entries or so, I get the error. Perhaps if I could lesson the amount, it wouldn't error???? Could my mail server be overloading?

1. I could be wrong on what that is doing
2. What happens to the email created if it doesn't send?
3. OK
4. Hmm...will have to hire some help if I go that route.

Thanks

2 - there is no email sent if that setting is true. Only the object used to send mail is created

The place you're doing it is just silly. It is sent whenever the page unloads. The fact you get them when 0 records are changed, means the check if a controls text is Yes is not working. The code is either wrong, or the way it's being tracked, is a hack. The place to do this is an event handler for when the records are changed. If you send an email at all, it should be in the same code that saves a new record. Overall, I think you should be storing records in your DB to say that changes have occured, and perhaps have a windows service that once a day checks for rows that tell it updates occured, and send you one email to tell you a summary of changes for the day.

This shows the person who wrote this code had no idea about how ASP.NET page life cycle works. Page_Unload will be called each time when the page refreshes and if I remember correctly, it is one of the events executed when page rendering completes. BTW, why you need and email from this event?
