Hi,

I need to do the following from a web page automatically

1) Create and save a local (eg. on the C drive) text file that will contain data that is on the current page.

2) Open that file up by calling shellexec. Because the file will have a .~la extension, my other program will then be able to open this up and use the data.

I'm in a .Net environment, so any suggestions of of to use Scripting, ASP.Net, C#, VB.Net to accomplish to would be appreciated

Thanks,
- Jim

Check out the .NET Class:

System.IO.File

This can create/delete files.

Theres a directory one too:

System.IO.Directory

If you are on a web platform (i.e ASP.NET) you will need to make sure that you have the relevant priviliges for the ASP.NET user account on the directory.

The System.IO.File class is relevant to all .NET languages.

Hello my friends,

I am trying to make a drop down list on a web page to look excactly like the one that is on MS Word on the toolbar that is used to select a font or font size.
I want, in other words, the blue borders when the user mouse over it.

Is this possible?

Thanx

are you looking for the border attribute?

border: 1px solid #9999CC;
or
border-width: 1px;
border-style: solid;
border-color: purple;
or
border-width: 8px 2px 8px 2px; /* top right bottom left */
border-style: dotted dashed solid groove;
border-color: red yellow blue green;

Yup, I am aware of this style.
But it doesnt have any effect when you apply it on the SELECT tag.

I think that there is no styke that changes the SELECT tag...

Thank you.

There's your first mistake. Don't use the select tag. Check out the office-like menu that has already been written for javascript at this address:

I see,

but I have to use a select tag. I need a drop down menu. I dont want to re invent the weel by making a custom drom down menu.
If I cant reformat it using Style Sheets then I will use it as it is..

image button?

Is there a way to turn off the "clickability" or to make dead an imagebutton?
I use one for a tab. The tab has 2 images, one for on state and one for off state. I need an additional state...a dead state for the selected tab. In other words, the selected tab is on and "not clickable".

Is this possible?

also try

onclick="return false;"

maybe try

Hello~

How do you connect an HTML to a database? I heard that it can be done using Visual Basic... Are there any tutorial out there that might help? I'm currently trying to make an online member registeration website~ I'm clueless right now... Confused | :confused:

Re: Database & HTML

You'll need to include some scripting in your HTML code to communicate with the data store. Google on ASP or PHP for examples, or check out the beginner stuff on this site. CodeProject has several good articles on data access, but you'll need to study quite a few of them to get a solid understanding of the process. A good one to begin with is Chris Maunder's article on accessing MS Access databases using ADO[^]. It's far from complete, but a good start.

i am starting off with my final year project and i wanted to make an online faxing service. good examples are Jfax.com and eFax.com.

can any one guide me how to start off and how to do it. one of the problem i cannot understand that how can i get a new phone number for each and every customer of mine. these companies are surely using a smart trick about that.

so plz help me with this
thanks

Sparks

I think these companies have significant capital and deals with phone companies to do this sort of thing. Unless you have a lot of money and/or want to make a real business venture out of it, I don't think it's probably the best sort of project to work on for purely educational purposes.

Digital Signatures

Does anyone know of a good article, white paper, source of information on digital signatures? Would be much appreciated thanks.

p.s. I am asking after actual signatures as in a person signs an eletronic form with his signature. Not as in XML signatures or encryption etc.

If you are talking about capturing a signature then there is a Microsoft sample for Pocket PC using Compact Framework. The app captures signature on Pocket PC and displays on Desktop.

The sample is here.

Using CryptAPI with ASP

avneeshb18-Sep-03 11:26

Hello!

I am trying to make the following possible:

1. User accesses Page1.asp and enters some credentials.
2. Page1 posts to Page2.asp which after some things uses a COM component (inproc dll) to do encryption (I have written code for RSA encryption usinf Windows Crypto API)
3. The reponse is the encrypted data.

Problem: Everything works fine when client and server are all on the same machine. However when the client accesses Page1 from another machine, the error returned is from the CryptAcquireContext method: Keyset does not exist.

What I have tried to do to solve this problem:
1. Created another component (this time a local server, COM exe) which does the encryption work. The dll merely routes the call to the component. This was done to test Inproc vs Outproc issues.
2. Tried to change access permissions in the RSA directory under localsettings\all users etc
3. Used the following to acquire crypt context:
if(!::CryptAcquireContext(&hProvider, NULL, MS_ENHANCED_PROV, PROV_RSA_FULL, 0)) {

if(!::CryptAcquireContext(&hProvider, NULL, MS_ENHANCED_PROV, PROV_RSA_FULL, CRYPT_NEWKEYSET)){

::CryptAcquireContext(&hProvider, NULL, MS_ENHANCED_PROV, PROV_RSA_FULL, CRYPT_MACHINE_KEYSET);
}
}

None of the approaches have worked, and the problem is always failure to get the Crypto Context handle. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

VBS scripting : How to access a HtmlDocument object ?

Danoo18-Sep-03 3:35

Danoo

18-Sep-03 3:35

In my script I try to open an URL programmatically. This is no problem :

<br />
Set IEApp = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")<br />
IEApp.Navigate "http://www.mydomain.com"<br />
<br />
Do While (IEApp.Busy = true)<br />
	WScript.Sleep 200<br />
Loop<br />

Aftwards I would like to access to a login form and set username and password to specific values. This is where things get complicated:

<br />
Set IEDoc = IEApp.Document<br />

The object I get is from type HtmlDocument, which is read only and contains pure html tags. I cannot use it to access to forms and elements.

Does anybody know how I can access these elements ?

Regards
Daniel

MFC to internet application

18-Sep-03 2:19

Hi,
We have developed a windows based MFC application which, parts of which work with OpenGL. The application itself loads and manipulates a large number of images (not all at the same time). A number of clients are asking if we can develop a stripped down version of the software that could work as a viewer working over an internet/intranet network from within a web browser, probably Internet explorer.
Which technology would be best to get the application going, the application will require one main view (quite large) with a tool bar and a context menu. Can anyone point me towards a good example?

Thanks in advance
