Yes I checked the cases, just to be sure I changed them to all lowercase in both places. No change in either browser.

The odd thing is that I have another table setup (one for the admins and one for the users) that shows up perfectly in both Opera and Firefox. It's written the exact same way and I can't figure out why it is that the admin one won't work when the regular user one does.

Suggestions on what to try next?

Do you have a doctype, a html element, a head element and a body element, or is that all the code?

There are elements using implicit end tags as in XHTML, but the code is not at all valid XHTML.

There is no end tag for the table, which in itself may very well mess up the page.

Despite everything, the person most likely to be fooling you next is yourself.

That is all the code. Since it's PHP I didn't think about having a doctype and whatnot.

I'll make some changes and just see what happens. Thanks for the suggestion, even if it doesn't fix it at least that's one more step making the code more valid.

That means that what you are sending to the browser isn't even close to be a valid html document, or even an html document at all. The browsers makes their best to try to display it as html anyway, but you can't expect it to work properly.

To be an html document, the page has to have a html, head, title and body tag:

<html>
<head>
<title>Minimal</title>
</head>
<body>
A minimal html document.
</body>
</html>

Yeah I generally write valid XHTML 1.0 Strict, I just didn't think about it since it was inside PHP. I taught myself PHP and am still learning a lot. I have a strong feeling that is what the problem is. Over the weekend I'm going to go through each piece of this site and change it so that it's valid.

Thanks a lot for the suggestion, I never would have thought about the browser being so confused at what I was trying to display.

Role based contorls privileges?

16-Dec-08 6:49

For the record, after adding the proper tags to the HTML generated by the PHP and putting the end tag on the tables it fixed the problem. Now Firefox and Opera are both displaying the page in the same way.

Hi to all!
I've got some stupid question but i just can't figure it out.
I've working with ASP.NET for some time but i never have to make web application with user roles. So i began to work and place login control, create few users and roles but then i stop because i didn't know how to make some components on page to be enable(or invisible) for one role and disable for other role. I search about the problem and only answer i found is that roles in asp.net is based on folder security. So when logged user is with role manager i redirect him to Managers\Sales.aspx but when logged user is with employee role i redirect him to Employee\Sales.aspx. And this two pages are different - some controls are enabled (or invisible).
So my question is - is this the only way to achieve or i can do it "stupid" way - check logged user role and with some "if" enable (or hide) some controls?

Sorry again i know that this is a stupid question but i have to ask Smile | :)

King Regards!

Watch these videos[^] for a start if you have not.

I use a combination of approaches. One is my menu system has role tags so various functions are not visible to some users. This is also supplemented with web.config files in subdirectories that control access to the subdirectory. This works where the whole page is restricted to a set of roles.

When you get down to single pages that need to be different for various roles, there are two approaches.

One is that I have code in Form.Load that hides/shows different panels/controls according to which roles a user is in.

The second is that I wrote a RolePanel control that subclasses the panel control, and hides itself if a user isn't in the specified roles. This makes it easier to do the security declaratively rather than writing code.

I'm using MySql and PHP.
I'm a Persian.
Whenever I wanna store/retrieve data to Mysql In Persian I've created a table with this syntax in MySQL.

 CREATE TABLE `test`.`table1` (
`Field1` VARCHAR( 50 ) CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_polish_ci NOT NULL
     .
     .
     .
) ENGINE = MYISAM CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_persian_ci

I think you should change your fields languages in SQL.
You should change utf8_persian_ci with Hindi.

I don't know , because I've not worked with IIS, I've usually worked with Apache.

You should try it, and see the result.

Event that fires when the value changes

Does anyone know of an event that fires when a value is set on an element from within JavaScript? Example: $get('id1').value = $get('id2').value (copy values between input controls). Is there an event that will fire on control 'id1' when it is modified this way?

Thanks,

I am not a javascript expert but I think the answer is no.

You could instead have a function that updates id1, e.g. setID1(value) and then it could do the work of the event handler you want.

Thanks for your answer. It was what I expected, but I want to know how in a world of security, there is not a way to see when your values have changed by someone other than the user.

Javascript runs on the browser.

You can assume absolutely nothing about the browser or its security.

It would be easy enough with modern debugging tools like FireBug etc to stop a javascript function, change some values and continue.

Keep all sensitive information on the server.
