Hi,

I installed AdMentor to make banner administration inside our intranet, configured it to run with the given Access DB, and it worked perfect, up today, when it started to give me the following error:

Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80004005'

[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver]General error Unable to open registry key 'Temporary (volatile) Jet DSN for process 0x30c Thread 0x128 DBC 0x22ef024 Jet'.

/treinare/admentor/include/admentordb.asp, line 44

Could someone point me a solution to this problem? Cry | :((

Thanks in advance

I have installed PWS onto my WINNT Workstation. I am running the internet via the network so I don't have direct access to the internet. Does this explain why when I test PWS with http://127.0.0.1 I get the following error message:

"You are not authorized to view this page
You might not have permission to view this directory or page using the credentials you supplied.

If you believe you should be able to view this directory or page, please try to contact the Web site by using any e-mail address or phone number that may be listed on the http:// home page.

You can click Search to look for information on the Internet.

HTTP Error 403 - Forbidden
Internet Explorer "

I need to be able to test ASP functionality from my workstation is there anyway round this problem?

Any help would be greatly appreciated Smile | :)

First try doing this in the windows command prompt, run this string:

ping 127.0.0.1

If the following comes up then your system is OK:

Pinging 127.0.0.1 with 32 bytes of data:

Reply from 127.0.0.1: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=128
Reply from 127.0.0.1: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=128
Reply from 127.0.0.1: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=128

And the try these for the final touch only if above is OK! Smile | :)

Options One:

1- Run PWS
2- Click Advance icon on left
3- Select the top most icon: the Home icon on top of the tree
4- Click Properties
5- Select/Check the Read and Scripts options

Option Two:

1- Click advance icon
2- Check the AllowDirectoryBrowsing
3- Test the browser

This should fix it.
Cheers.

IHTMLElement and IHTMLElement2 and IHTMLWindow2

Hi All,
My problem is about casting between these types.
the scenario is below.
getdocument -> getactiveelement ->
"it's a frame" I need a way of casting this IHTMLElement to IHTMLElement2 or to IHTMLWindow2
/*
IHTMLElement* pa_el;
...get_activeelement(&pa_el);
CComQIPtr<ihtmlelement2,&iid_ihtmlelement2> pa_el2(pa_el);

I have a dispatch here in pa_el2 but it seems as something is wrong because when I call doScroll, I get errors... if I cast to IHTMLWindow2... it simply returns NULL... (myframe == null)
CComQIPtr<ihtmlwindow2,&iid_ihtmlwindow2> myframe(pa_el);

How can I access to a frame object if I have it as an IHTMLElement?

Please Help...

Is there a mechanism in window.open so that the popup window opens as a full screen in IE? I've noticed Netscape will open full screen if the parent window is full screen

Thanks!

Using JavaScript to Handle ActiveX Events

Martin Hinchy8-Jul-01 18:08

I have an ActiveX grid control on one of my web pages that fires events when cells need updating. Is there a way to specify an event handler in JavaScript for these events?

I've found plenty of examples of how to do it using vbscript but nothing for JavaScript. For example in vbscript if you want to add an event handler for an ActiveX object with an id called 'Grid' and an event called 'UpdateCell' then it seems you just create a subroutine called Grid_UpdateCell() on the page containing the object.

Is there a way to do something similar in JavaScript?

Regards
Martin

Re: Using JavaScript to Handle ActiveX Events

i use something like this for an activex treeviewctrl

function CheckChildren(ParentNode)
{
...
}

// event handler that is called when the check state of a node changes
// the handler propagates the new checkstate down the hierarchy
CheckChildren(theNode);

Vertical Alignment in a DIV

Paul Watson4-Jul-01 21:26

Paul Watson

4-Jul-01 21:26

Well this one has me stumped.

How does one vertically align the contents of a DIV (without using a TABLE inside the DIV Smile | :)

)?

For instance I have a DIV which is 100% wide and 100% high. I then have an IMG tag within the DIV and I want that IMG to center, both horizontally (which is done by using the text-align style attribute) and vertically (which is done... how?)

Using a TABLE to do this seems so inelegant and partly negates the use of a DIV.

Paul,

From a CSS perspective the use of:

<DIV style="text-align: center; vertical-align: middle;">

should give the result you require. However, this appears to be browser dependent as usual. Dreamweaver 4 renders this correctly in it's preview window, but IE 5.5 does not. The image appears at the top of the window Frown | :(

From experience I have found that the cleanest and quickest way to get this result is to use a table with:

<TD align="center" valign="middle">

If I can help any further let me know.

Derek.

thanks for the suggestion Derek.

I also first saw DIV vertical alignment in Dreamweaver but was disapointed when IE did not render it properly.

Well I guess it is back to using the venerable TABLE Dead | X|

XSL Specification Problems

Paul Watson4-Jul-01 21:18

Paul Watson

4-Jul-01 21:18

Having only dabbled in XSL before and now being presented with a real project which requires it I need some help.

I have two XSL files, identical except for the specification declaration on the second line:

<?xml version='1.0'?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-xsl">

<xsl:template match="/">

<xsl:variable name="countryid"><xsl:value-of select="country/@country"/></xsl:variable>

</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

and

<?xml version='1.0'?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">

<xsl:template match="/">

<xsl:variable name="countryid"><xsl:value-of select="country/@country"/></xsl:variable>

</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

As you can see the first one points to the w3.org/TR/WD-xsl specification and the second one points to the w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform specification. When I run the first one against an XML file on the client side Internet Explorer gives me the following error:

Keyword xsl:variable may not be used in namespace http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-xsl. Error processing resource

The second XSL works 100% however (though it does not work if you take out the version="1.0" parameter).

So my question is: Why? Why does it do this and how can I use xsl:variable on the client side while using what I believe to be the better and more recent w3.org/TR/WD-xsl specification.

Obviously I am missing something fundamental to XML and XSL, but it seems a rather illogical fundamental.

thanks!

Re: XSL Specification Problems

6-Aug-01 19:35

I know this is an old post, but I think I finally found the answer. I'm just getting into XSL and found this to be a bit of a problem too.

w3.org/TR/WD-xsl : This is an old working draft (WD) XSL specification. The version of the XSL translator that shipped with Internet Explorer in Win2000 supports this spec.

w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform : This is the standard spec from the W3C XSL Recommendation. It is a newer one than above and will support xsl:variable, xsl:output, etc.

Now here's where I ran into trouble. The second declaration above didn't work with MSXML 2.5 (the parser that shipped with Windows 2000) so I went to microsofts site to upgrade to MSXML 3.1. After the install, my developer tools ran great with the second spec, but IE would still not display the documents correctly. It turned out this was because the upgrade to MSXML 3.1 actually installs in side-by-side mode, which means it does not actually replace the old parser. To get this to work, microsoft has a fix that will run 3.1 in replace mode. You can get more information off the MSDN website. I recommend reading the MSXML Parser 3.0 Release notes.

Hope this helps.

ASP Components

I'm designing a component to be called from an ASP page on Window 2000 IIS 5.

Is it better for the component to be in a DLL or an EXE? The component will be doing data access via ADO and maintaining a look up table of database entries in memory.

You may be decide which architecture use. InProccess (DLL) or OutOfProcess (EXE) (readit on Msdn).
Begin with a DLL, it's more easy for your project. Suspicious | :suss:

active frame IE

Oguzhan ERKAN3-Jul-01 0:54

Oguzhan ERKAN

3-Jul-01 0:54

Hi all,

I'm developping an onscreen keyboard for a touchmatic system. I have buttons
for scrolling the page and I use IHTMLWindow2::ScrollBy methods. It works
for a single windowed documents (one body - one window) but I have problems
with scrolling of frames. I used 2 approach until now.
One is getting the parent window of active element of the current
document... I was hoping that it would be a frame... but it's always
"FRAMESET" and I know there are 3 frames because I saw them when I get the
list of the frames from IHTMLFramesCollection2...
For example... "www.osym.gov.tr" is a framed url. I must scroll down the
right side frame... (Yes I can scroll it by getting IHTMLWindow2 from
IHTMLFrameCollections2 but think there are 2 scroll-needed frames!...)
The other one is getting the parent window of the current document... this
gives me the "FRAMESET", too... the only exception is when no frame - one
body - one window...

I must find a way of getting the active frame... at least determine an
active frame myself and scroll it... (But the problem for this is the nested
frames... How deep I must go down!!!)... Can you give any advise?

Oguzhan...
