Most of your decisions will be based on where you intend to HOST[^] your site? Many web hosts provide api s to display photos in gallery and slideshow form.

Yeah but it's a project you know - sort of a training exercise!

Then you please start with php which exposes behind the scenes completely were as in .net you will never or probably will not know how the request and response are taking place or you will not understand the client server concept. Because in php every concept and functions are straight forward and that will sure make you understand the concept behind. and with respect to .net or c# all are wrappers so you will not know the real true concept behind HTTP, requests and responses and client server. Besides these you will easily gt exposed to other protocols like FTP, IMAP, SMTP and you can implement then just like your normal c program functions. Hope you can understand what i am talking about. since you said that you are basically from c and c++, php is totally like c and all the core functionality can be handled the same way like in c but if it is c# you need to wrap and wrap and wrap for a single silly socket connection or any client server request. PHP make things very very simple and it trails you to lot of basic stuff you need to know as a beginner web programmer. for this in the client side use firefox with firebug to debug/trace css, javascript and the client server requests and responses. enjoy.
So finally for your point ... it should be php. it is really like child's play. all you need to do is wind the key and see the result.

No Contract Instructor Regurgitating Someone Else's Materials! Learn from the Expert!
Bangalore, March 31, 2010: The best of India's Java and RIA programmers have learnt the subject from Marty's seminal books Core Servlets and JavaServer Pages (first and second editions), More Servlets and JavaServer Pages, and Core Web Programming (first and second editions) from Prentice Hall and Sun Microsystems Press. Now is the opportunity to meet him and learn from him first-hand. From 26-28 April in Bangalore, India, attend a practical, hands-on training on Ajax and RIAs personally developed and taught by leading Java EE and Ajax developer, speaker, and author Marty Hall
"Ajax" designates the set of techniques that enable Web applications to asynchronously update small portions of the pages based on server-side data. First popularized by Google, these techniques are now being widely applied in Web applications, and increase the performance, flexibility, richness, and interactivity of Web sites and Web-based applications. However, Ajax programming is complex and poorly understood. In the course, for client-side code, the class uses jQuery, the single-most widely used JavaScript library. For server-side code, the class uses Java. The class also covers foundational topics like JavaScript programming, core Ajax approaches, XML and JSON data handling, and Ajax development and debugging tools.
Marty has taught Ajax, GWT, and Java EE courses onsite for dozens of organizations in the US, Canada, Mexico, Australia, Japan, Puerto Rico, India, and the Philippines, all to rave reviews. The course consists of an approximately equal mixture of lecture and hands-on lab time and assumes that all students have moderate-to-strong Java skills and at least a little bit of experience with Web apps in Java (servlets and/or JSP). The course does not assume any previous exposure to Ajax, nor does it presume JavaScript knowledge.

Hi there community!
I'm having a little problem with two scripts that seem to be conflicting with each other inside a web page. whicever one I load first will work but the second wont - I skimmed through then to see if there were any conflicting var or function names but couldn't find anything... any suggestions?
This is an analog clock script inside an absolute positioned div:
<script type="text/javascript">

any ideas/suggestions?
(sorry about the long message, I hope it won't be too much of a nuisance)

These two scripts each define window.onload so
because of that they cant be in the same web page
together.One solution would be to combine the two functions so
that each have the same code.

I have a linkbutton and while ctrl+click that link i need to do something.So i added keyup and keydown events for document and set a variable true or false according to the Ctrl+click and after checking it in onclick event of linkbutton.everything working fine and behave as expected.But this logic will fail in one scenario. ie, a user Ctrl+click a page in one tab of browser and releasing the ctrl key in another tab which is selected with the mouse without releasing the ctrl key. I guess its difficult to handle that. any hacks?

I uploaded a website to the host and now only get This[^].
There is a Default.aspx, so why doesn't it go straight in to the web page?

Go to the IIS-configuration, find the website, click Properties and go to the Documents tab. Can you verify whether "Default.aspx" is in that list?

My apologies - You can find the IIS configuration in the "Administrative Tools" section of your Control Panel. It contains a list of startup-documents, probably set to "index.htm" and "default.asp".
Did you install IIS before or after the .NET framework?

|
|

I do not have that. All I have in Administrative Tools is "Component Services", "Computer Manager", "Data Sources", "Desktop", Event Viewer", "Local Security Policy" , "Performance" and "Services".
Also, I uploded from a different machine, and the page you see above is what is seen when others connect, so I cannot really go around to every computer on the planet and set their IIS's.

Not only hosting a webserver, but also running ASPX-scripts. That means security-settings for the ASP.NET principal and a lot of configuration. It's that, or hosting your own webserver (not that hard using .NET) - where you could opt to use a differnt port than port 80, to ensure that your server doesn't collide with a webserver of the customer.

Weird, I downloaded IIS but it wants things like convlog.exe in order to configure.

IIS should be on the Windows-CD, where did you download it from? Do you have an new applet in the "Administrative Tools" section of the Configuration Panel?

No CD, OEM XP.

Looks like IIS is up and running on your system now, but the ASP.NET part hasn't been installed (yet?)
At the time that you installed .NET, IIS wasn't there yet - so the .NET installer didn't have a chance to configure IIS. Perhaps running the .NET Framework setup again fixes this, but I'm not sure.
Perhaps the section "Configuring ASP.NET applications" from MSDN[^] might help. But you're right - you don't want to go through this for every customer

If I enter this: http://www.fosbern.co.uk/Default.aspx[^]
I can see your page but only as markup/code. Have you compiled and created a bin folder on the server into which you have placed the dll?
Is there a valid Web.config file in the root?
Is the site capable of hosting asp.net web sites?
Note that default.aspx is not the same as Default.aspx.

There is a Web.config, no Bin, I am told that ASP.NET is available on this host, and here is an oddity...
When I veiw it on my computer I click the link to enter site and I get a page of the markup code, but a colleague's machine shows the page proper, but without the asp bells and whistles.
