Hi, I have created a div in my xsl file which acts as a popup when a button is clicked. Can somebody please tell me how I can make the faded background around the div? ie the div panel is fine and clear but the rest of the screen faded grey.
Thanks

For that you need to have another div spanning across your page. You can set the opacity of that div as per your need and show and hide it along with the modal pop up.

That's good thanks Abhishek.
The only thing is it appears as a popup as opposed to the modal which isn't so it may get blocked.
Thanks though.

What ???

Have you seen the code...

It is purely created using transparent div. So no popup blocker can block this.. Smile | :)

I just clicked on the link to your example and my browser informed me that a popup was blocked. I tried it in IE and Firefox.

Ha ha .. it is nothing related to the page / code. Actually might be some advertisement pops up which is blocked by your popup blocker. The popup comes because I published the demo page in a free web host provider.

Just check the actual page, it has a button Open popup, which will show the popup. Wink | ;)

Why are you not using the Ajax Modal Popup? That will take away a lot of pains of yours.

Equivalent to Time control in web forms

24-Nov-09 3:22

I don't know how to implement that in an XSL file. I am looking at implementing it in my webpage now, I've been trying to avoid it as it's very complex with lots in inheriting between pages, user controls and xsl files.

Re: Equivalent to Time control in web forms

23-Nov-09 23:39

Hi, I have used the following code successfully on a windows form to create a timed event where a label is displayed to the user, then the event fires for 5 seconds and the label is then updated. Here is the code:

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
label1.Text = "Please wait...";

System.Timers.Timer timer = new System.Timers.Timer();
timer.Interval = 5000;
timer.Elapsed += delegate
{
label1.BeginInvoke((MethodInvoker)delegate
{
label1.Text = "Done";
});
timer.Stop();
};
timer.Start();
}

Is there an equivalent to this in webforms?
Thanks

use JavaScript's window.setTimeout() and window.setInterval()

Use

setTimeout(invokeMember, 5000)

See this :
http://www.w3schools.com/js/js_timing.asp[^]

If you need to update server, make AJAX call from inside invokeMember ( or whatever your function name is).. otherwise just change the value of the member.

var element = document.getElementById('label1');
element.value = 'done';

cheers

You need to provide the Remote Server name in Connection String and UserId and Password ( If Needed )

Use ip to track the remote server.

Data Source=10.1.0.1;uid=xx;pass=yyy

Also make sure, that the Sql server port is exempted from remote server firewall.. Wink | ;)

Hi,

User this :

string filename = "x.dat";
HttpContext.Current.Response.Clear();
HttpContext.Current.Response.AppendHeader("content-disposition", "attachment; filename=" + filename);
HttpContext.Current.Response.ContentType = "application/exe"; //Change it to your mimetype.
HttpContext.Current.Response.BinaryWrite(filebytes);
HttpContext.Current.Response.Flush();
HttpContext.Current.Response.Close();

You can use Response.TransferFile/ or directly Response.Write based on your content. Wink | ;)

That is correct answer. But you also need to mentioned that he can't download one folder (Which he was asked ). He can Zip and download the file in the way the you have specified.
