I have an intern updating our website, which was tossed together by people who know nothing about websites using Web Expressions. The intern is using Dreamweaver - the latest and greatest just installed today - to do this work, but I expect problems when she starts the project. Heck, I tried updating this same site a year ago using Visual Studio, and it couldn't open the thing. What can I do to make this painless for the lady?

Well that explains a lot.
I'm surprised it couldn't be opened in VS though. I've gone back and forth between Expression and VS for several projects, though they were Silverlight and WPF applications.
There is this little piece I saw that you might want to check into. Otherwise, she's an intern, life is supposed to be difficult for them 
"Support for ASP,NET server behaviors was removed from Dreamweaver in CS4. However, if you need to re-enable that functionality, it's included as an extension in the following folder: C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Dreamweaver CS5\configuration\DisabledFeatures (Windows 64-bit - remove the (x86) for 32-bit). On a Mac it's in /Applications/Adobe Dreamweaver CS5/configuration/DisabledFeatures.
Use the Extension Manager to install the ASPNet_Support.mxp extension."

I’m working on creating a toolbar plugin for Internet Explorer. I can find many examples and tutorials to get me started but nothing on one particular piece of functionality I'd like to implement.
What I’d like is a small pop up window displaying information to appear when I click one of the buttons on my toolbar. I want it to look similar to the "browser action" pop ups that can be displayed by a Chrome extension or the popups that appear when you click "Suggested Sites" and "Web Slice Gallery" in IE9. I envisage creating the popup's contents in HTML but I am prepared to use anything that works.
If anybody can direct me towards a tutorial or an example or offer any other advice then it would be greatly appreciated.

I'm very confused by some strange behaviour I'm having with formatting on the default browser on my Android phone (it's running ICS). I haven't tried it on other smartphones. I'm assuming it's a bug, but I suppose there's the chance that it's not (although it seems unlikely).
If I have something like this:
<div>
Lots of text here
</div>
Then (if the text is long enough) the text doesn't extend the whole div but only around 1/3 or 1/2 of the way (and wraps around the shortened width). However, if I change it to this:
<div style="background-color: #fff;">
Lots of text here
</div>
The text does extend the whole div and wraps around. The only difference is that I set the background-color property. Is there a proper "accepted" way to avoid this behaviour in the first case? Explicitly setting the background-color to transparent does not fix the problem.

Did you test it on IE?
You didn't mention the browser name
there is several more issues:
background-color- i dont know about it
I use background all the time
and hexa value should have to be 6 bytes i.e.
<div style="background:#000fff;">
Lots of text here
</div>
the above one is correct syntax

They are both using correct syntax - "background" is shorthand for all the individual background properties[^] and there are several ways you can specify colours in CSS, including 3 or 6 digit hex RGB: CSS colour reference[^]

I am currently developing my own Google Chrome extension right now. My extension has the functionality to save and retrieve user data(bookmarks, browser preferences) from a local storage in a computer. Right now there are tools and technologies I am considering to use for the development of the said extension. Which brings us to my question:
I know for sure that PHP can be responsible for the file handling which includes storing and retrieving of browser data. My concern is that the security of the written file. Is it possible to put the written text file in a folder which is locked? Is it possible to make that folder account-controlled meaning for the folder to be accessed there should be username and password to be entered? What tool or technology can handle this?

I need to implement sales web site for a small business, with very basic functionality such as home page with news etc., about us, product into, and ordering and payment. While I would ultimately love to re-code this wheel myself, I am sure one of the many capable CMS packages out there will get the job done much quicker and better.
My first two choices are Drupal and Umbraco. I know ASP.NET well, but my PHP is coming along fine, and I think it will be easier to find hosting for my client for Drupal than for Umbraco.
What recommendations can you readers make here?

+1 for Drupal. I've used it, and it's very quick to throw together a simple site. Contributed modules to do almost anthing you want (and many you don't want!  ) You can almost certainly do what you need without cutting a single line of PHP (although knowing PHP helps you understand what's really going on.) Plenty of online tutorials, too.
Never heard of Umbraco, so I can't offer an opinion.

AspxCommerce will probably suit you best. It is a promising open source content management system specifically designed for E-Commerce and developed using ASP.NET technology. I am pretty sure that your needs will be met. Take a look at it at www.aspxcommerce.com .

My favorite is nopCommerce[^] and it is ASP.NET 4.0 based with MS SQL 2005 (or higher).

There are lots of hosting companies that host this and you can administer it yourself. Check out Snowcovered for "modules" that provide shopping cart functionality.
Good luck.

Hi, I have the following script, which is working fine. This is for more-less content. For more content, this is good, but when i click again, text becomes less again, but i want to add one class name for the less button.
This is from where i get the script.
http://shakenandstirredweb.com/playground/jquery-more-less-text/[^]
i just want to add different arrows for more and less. but there is always one class name. Can anyone help me in this to add a class name in the script. Thanks
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function(){
// The height of the content block when it's not expanded
var adjustheight = 170;
// The "more" link text
var moreText = "+ More";
// The "less" link text
var lessText = "- Less";
// Sets the .more-block div to the specified height and hides any content that overflows
$(".more-less .more-block").css('height', adjustheight).css('overflow', 'hidden');
// The section added to the bottom of the "more-less" div
$(".more-less").append('[…] ');
$("a.adjust").text(moreText);
$(".adjust").toggle(function() {
$(this).parents("div:first").find(".more-block").css('height', 'auto').css('overflow', 'visible');
// Hide the [...] when expanded
$(this).parents("div:first").find("p.continued").css('display', 'none');
$(this).text(lessText);
}, function() {
$(this).parents("div:first").find(".more-block").css('height', adjustheight).css('overflow', 'hidden');
$(this).parents("div:first").find("p.continued").css('display', 'block');
$(this).text(moreText);
});
});
</script>

Don't cross-post. You'vr already asked this elsewhere - be patient - we all have other things to do - we're not here just for your convenience.

Hi,
I am basically a desktop app developer, and for last 1 year I'm into mobility domain, working on apps, and multimedia.
I have very good grip on C, C++ and basically know some HTML, I also have good knowledge of Database query languages.
I'm planning to come up with a website, which is basically like a social networking site facebook, but to be meant for different reason ( Sorry, I can't discuss on that ).
I don't have much knowledge in web development. but I'm confident that I can work on, HTML, JavaScript,PHP.
So can please someone help me ,
1) What technologies should I start.
2) How these networking sites are built, with user login etc.
3) Is there any helping documents which I can refer to.
4) What database technologies that I should learn.
I am not really worried about the time. I hope you people help me in this regard.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Vijay.

Take a look at http://www.dotnetnuke.com/[^]
This would allow you to get a website up and running in very short amount of time.
Download the evaluation copy, get yourself some books on DotNetNuke and really give it some consideration. I used it at a previous company (internal project) and was amazed.
There are also many companies out there that host DNN for you if you don't have a web server and a static IP address.
my 2 cents.

Thanks for the info David,I agree I shouldn't be spending much time on reinventing the wheel.
My idea was not to depend on any service provider except hosting.
Thank you.

I follow the lamp stack of Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP
I do this mainly because of cost, resources, a friendly and knowledged community can be easily found to help guide you on your way. This stack is also very wide used and for good reasons.
So to your questions
1) What technologies should I start.
PHP, MySQL, HTML, CSS, JavaScript (and the jQuery library). For local dev I use the abyss x1 http because its free and very easy to setup. If you work on a linux box getting mysql, php and apache is often bundled in a group of packages that is an easier install. But Apache has a lot more bells and whistles to make it more custom, which why I use abyss. The order I would train in is html and css, then javascript and jQuery, and then PHP and MySQL. Once you get to PHP/MySQL you will want to focus on issues of sessions and security.
2) How these networking sites are built, with user login etc.
This is a big question but the short answer is sessions. Sessions store values placed in them by the scripts you write, like a posted form sends username and password to a server. a script on the server scrubs the input, to protect from hackers, and validates the info. If its correct then a session variable(s) is(are) set so you can maintain persistant data between page request. Session related variables can include user name, security level, a saved shopping cart, etc.
3) Is there any helping documents which I can refer to.
To numerous to count. This site, "Code Project" is a truly great resource for code snips and guidance. And I do not get paid to write this...well I do not think I do...maybe I should ask  also: http://www.php.net/ , http://www.mysql.com/ , http://www.w3schools.com/html/ , http://www.w3schools.com/js/ , http://jquery.com/ , and a place to see where online applications are going sites like this http://html5demos.com/ give you a glimps of whats possible
4) What database technologies that I should learn.
MySQL is the most common db engine you will find on the net.

hi
i have install IIS on Windows-XP and my WebService.
i see my WebService and i see my method - but if i try to run any of my method i see blank page.
what can be the problem ?
thank in advance
|

Ok, so you will need to provide us with more information other then 'It aint working'.
Here are some steps that might give you a clue as to what is wrong:
- Look through the IIS access files, to see if the request to the service are giving status code 200 or 204 (if not the service is throwing an error, code 503)
- Look through the webservice logs, if any, to see if it tells you what is wrong
- Make sure you are calling the webservice right, keep in mind SOAP services require POST data in XML format.
