Pros and cons of JScript vs VBScript David Fleming7-Oct-01 16:10 David Fleming 7-Oct-01 16:10  I consider myself a novice at this stuff, but I know VBScript semi-well. I am just beginning to learn JScript. I am wondering what are some important things that one language can do that the other can't. For one thing, I know that it is quite easy to open a new browser window (and set various properties of that window) with JScript but not VBScript. What are some of the things that one language does better, more easily, etc than the other? I appreciate your comments. Re: Pros and cons of JScript vs VBScript Ravish7-Oct-01 20:45 Ravish 7-Oct-01 20:45  Good exception handling in JScript.you can use try, catch blocks. In VB scripts you have only on error resume next statement. It is easier to use VBscript to access COM objects . When we use JScript special care has to be taken for handling datatypes .for ex arrays.

Then, from a newbie to other, get this on your mind: Don't get tied to only one of those! Use as many languages as you know, while they can co-exist. Don't forget to debug properly any work you do... It will take you away many sleeping hours, but in the end it will be worth! IE Browser to HTML source maping. sobh7-Oct-01 8:52 sobh 7-Oct-01 8:52  IE Browser to HTML source maping. Dear Sir, In Microsoft browser ,I want to know how to get the char offset in the HTML source when cliking by mouse in the control?

Why don't you explain what you want to accomplish instead. I may be able to find other ways to accomplish your task. Troy Stopping access to an images directory jerry0davis4-Oct-01 23:20 jerry0davis 4-Oct-01 23:20  Anyone know how I can stop browsing of my images directory. I know I can place an index.html in it to redirect somewhere else, but is there a way to redirect people if they type in direct image URL, rather than a html page requesting in. I just want to stop people viewing individual images, I'd just like to display the relevant html page that displays it. Thanks for any help Re: Stopping access to an images directory Troy Marchand10-Oct-01 6:14 Troy Marchand 10-Oct-01 6:14  If you can browse your images directory, that must mean you have directory browsing enabled!!! This is generally a bad thing!!! To disable directory browsing bring up your IIS manager, bring up the property sheets for your web site,go to the Home Directory tab then find the directory browing allowed check box .... uncheck. Once unchecked directory browsing is not allowed Troy <a href= ....> 4-Oct-01 2:37 4-Oct-01 2:37  I want to link to a install file (install.exe) but I don't want the download popup.

For Ex : 1) Use Cookies 2) Use Session variables 3) Use hidden form variables Others ?... & How does ASP Session variable work ? Does it send some cookie to the browser ? Re: State management 7-Oct-01 17:47 7-Oct-01 17:47  If you have cookies disable you will get a different session ID for each page requested. If you need persistance under this condition you may have to use hidden fields. Problem with Handling arrays 3-Oct-01 20:42 3-Oct-01 20:42  Hai Friends, I have a table having 4(DropDownBoxes)columns that grows dynamically. In the first column I want a Combo Box to populate all National Regions from the database. Upon changing a National Region, I want to populate all States pertaining to the selected National Region in another Combo Box beside the first one from the database. Like wise, Upon changing a State, I want to populate all Counties pertaining to the selected State in another Combo Box beside the Second one from the database. The Last column will have a hyperlink to the same page with "Delete" as text display. I have a Command button (Add New Location) upon clicking should grow the table by adding a new row with another set of the elements (one combo box each for National Regions, States, Counties) and a Delete hyperlink. I want to delete a particular set (row) of elements by clicking the Delete hyperlink. The functionality should be such that only that particular set of elements (their values) should disappear and the total number of rows should get reduced by one and all the other elements should have their values intact. How can I achieve this functionality? Using Arrays and with JavaScript or ASP voding Anybody Pl. help me comeout of this problem. Re: Problem with Handling arrays Chris Maunder3-Oct-01 20:58 Chris Maunder 3-Oct-01 20:58  To add/delete rows use javascript to modify the innerHTML value of the table (this will only work for IE). To update the comboboxes you can include an invisible (0 x 0) IFRAME and use javascript to open an ASP page in the IFRAME. This ASP page should query a DB on the server, then create some Javascript that, when the page is done redering and the javascript is executed, will dynamically modify the contents of the combo box. To get started, try using Javascript to dynamically add/delete rows, and dynamically set the contents of a combobox. Once you have that, the IFRAME thing should be relatively simple. cheers, Chris Maunder (CodeProject) Alien on Favourites David Salter3-Oct-01 11:04 David Salter 3-Oct-01 11:04  I've just added CP to my favourites in IE and its added a little picture of the Alien next to it.

How would I go about finding the text cursor position in a text box in internet explorer or any other web browser?? For example if the text box had this sentence The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. And the blicking text cursor was between m and p in the word jumped it would return the value 23. Please help Re: Cursor Position ( Please help ) Andrew Quinn AUS15-Oct-01 6:56 Andrew Quinn AUS 15-Oct-01 6:56  No can do I'm afraid. Your only option is to create a text-box-like DHTML element to keep track of things. Is your ultimate goal to control the format of text entered in? Cheers, Andy
