Yes it is a system for managing content. Literally. So it covers a whole wide range of software from client relationship management software to wikis to Virtual Learning environments.

Examples of CMS:

Wikipedia, Facebook, Drupal, Moodle, Joomla, Amazon.

basic Dropdown item formating question

I've been looking off and on for a few days now, and have several solutions none of which work in IE. I would love to be able to make a single item's text italic. I can change its fore color, bg color. and i can make it do just about anything in firefox.

ddl.Items[1].Attributes.Add("Style", "font-style:italic;");

ddl.Items[1].Attributes.Add("class", "bold");

yes i'm sure that item 1 exists, I've tried every different way of turning italics on that i can find, but IE just wont render it. FireFox 3.5 will work with either of the above. any help would be appreciated. I havent done anything special in the HTML, just gave it an ID and set runat=server. And i manually add each item in the code behind.

I'm pretty sure that IE simply doesn't support italics within drop down list items.

You might consider using a <div> tag with your options that you could popup upon a click. Something like this[^]?

thats what i was begining to think, i dont understand why they do that kinda crap. I'm looking at the page you sent, seems like a lot of work just for an italic item but i'll probably end up using it.

Thanks for the help.

it's a bit more work but if you havent used it, you'll be suprised what you can do with jquery. And just to confirm: IE doesn't let you use italics in dropdowns.

How To: automatically poll a Web-Database

Hi,

i need to ask every hour a online database if some data has expired.
The database is a Ms Sql Server at the Provider Webspace.
How could this be solved?

Could i use a WebService? But how to start the trigger?
Must there be a Daemon written? But how to install this at the Provider?

Any Suggestion would be greate.

Thanks

I usually solve these kinds of problems by creating a simple console or winforms application and use the Windows Task Scheduler to schedule it for execution.

27-Jul-09 19:08

Thank you for your reply.
But the Server is at the Provider, and i don't have a local machine that is running all the time. Also a WinService is not a Solution cause the Server is also running for foreign Domains and the Provider won't let me customize his System...

You can either develop a WinForm or Console Application and put it on Windows Scheduler or develop a SSIS Package and schedule it in the database task.

The SSIS Package sounds good, i will have a look at this. Thumbs Up | :thumbsup:

you could use a webpage that auto refreshes every hour - downside is you have to have a computer on with this page open in a browser. Alternatively, you could create a basic app in java/c++ etc and have it request the page every hour(thus running the polling script).

HELP: How I can refresh a picture without jumping to another page when the selection is changed?

Curious 200926-Jul-09 7:11

I have a selection in my ASP page (please see codes):

1. I would like the fisrt time it will show the defaut selection the picture on the right-side (select of "0"), but when the web-user change any other, then the picture will be refresh accordingly

2. If #1 can't be used (can't recognize seclection changed), can we add a button or tag "REFRESH PICTURE" so that the web-user can select to refresh after changing the selection?

3. If #2 also can't be done ... is there other way to refresh the picture without jumping to another page?

Thanks to any help D'Oh! | :doh:

*) I insert Request("Picture"), just in case I have to use a mean to jump back the same page & get the new selection!

<body>
<%
    Dim str_image, request_select

	request_select = Request("Picture")
	
	If request_select = "0" Then
		str_image = "image/Picture0.jpg"
	ElseIf request_select = "1" Then
		str_image = "image/Picture1.jpg"
	ElseIf request_select = "2" Then
		str_image = "image/Picture2.jpg"
	Else 
		str_image = "image/Picture3.jpg"
	End If
	
%>

<table id='outtertable'>
    <form action="NextPage.asp" method="post" name="myForm" >    
	<tr>
		<td>
		  <table id='datatable'>
		   <tr>
			  <td>Select picture</span></td>
			  <td>
				  <select name="Picture" size="1" id="Picture">

					<option value="1" >Picture 1 </option>
					<option value="2" >Picture 2 </option>
					<option value="3" >Picture 3 </option>
				  </select>

			  </td>

You can use a javascript timer to force your page to refresh itself. Or you can use AJAX to make a call to request a new URL to show in the img tag.

- With the timer: I will have other problems. My example codes are only partial of the web-user entries, if I use the Timer to refresh the page ... means all web-users are typing are lost (or I have to save all present entries before refresh). Also if I want to update as the web-user selecting the new picture, that means the refresh should be within 1 second --> the sreen will keep refreshing constantly, it is not very good!

- I have never used the AJAX, your guide looks close to the:

function poptastic(url)
{
	newwindow=window.open(url,'name','height=500,width=600');
	if (window.focus) {newwindow.focus()}
	return false;
}

If it is true, then I still have the problem that I must know the new web-user picture selection in the same page & refresh the old with the new one at the same spot ... which I don't know how to get it without to jump to the new page to use the Request("Picture")

Any further help?
