Hi,
in my website logs, I see that a lot of people are going to my online store and don't seem to have cookies enabled. So I was wondering if it was better to use a database to keep track of a shopping cart or most websites rely on cookies?
What's the standard? Cookies or database?
Thanks!

I dn't know what others do, but I'd go for Database (probably because I detest cookies (accept if you can eat them  )), if you do use cookies you should check if the user accepts them...
good luck.

You only really want to store an ID in a cookie, not the whole basket and other details. Cookies are fickle too, users can clear them, they can expire, they only hold so much data etc. etc.

Yeah, I made the switch to a database yesterday. It was a lot less work than I thought it would be!

if the overhead of running your shopping cart through the database server is too high, and you don't mind expiring variables the in-process session state server works really well for this. Just add your basket class as a session variable.

Hello everyone,
I am a complete newbie here so please forgive my ignorance but I am trying to learn a little on how to write script and one small project I want to do is create a web-based Yahtzee game specifically for my website but instead of numbers on the dice I want to add pictures on them.
I know enough about java script to be able to manipulate the image files to make it work but I need a java script for a game like that. Does anyone know where I can find one or have some simple ideas on easy alternatives to making this game.
Thanks for your attention.

There is a javascript dice roller here:
http://javascript.internet.com/games/dice-roller.html
It may help you out.

Actually, I am looking for an actual Yahtzee style clone game that keeps track of scores and such but can allow for the sides on the dice to be changed to pictures. It would kind of like a Yahtzee Jr. game that uses pictures instaed of the numbers 1-6.

I have a C# web application which need to use an ActiveX in it. I can find some article on ActiveX using C++, I am unable to find a sample of C# call ActiveX. I am not sure if ActiveX only comes with C++?
If you have some ideas about this, or some sample code/article, please let me know.
Thanks a lot.

hi all,
lets say that i created a table dynamically on javascript by this command:
var DummyTable = document.createElement ( 'table' ) ;
how can i insert (render) this element into the document object or lets say other objects like DIV?
please write me the command for this.
|
|
|
|
|
sorry for such a silly question, seems that i was in rush for answer without even thinking about it, i forgot all about the document.all, anyway what i need now is to have a deep copy for an existing HTML Table that is rendered so i can perform processing at it then replace it with the HTML Table that i alreadt have in the document, remember what i want is a deep copy not just a reference to the table that i already have... thank alot for being patient.

Inside an html document, what is it that is required to open a file when you clik a link or button?
|
|
|
|
|
a path to it

A link just needs the href filled out to point to the file (e.g. href="http://www.123.com/myfile.doc") but for a button you will need to use some JavaScript to redirect the browser to the URL (e.g. onclick="document.location = 'http://www.123.com/myfile.doc'").

Not that I know of...

Not that I know of, you have to use multiple file inputs.
Unless you want to use an ActiveX or JavaApplet in which case you can upload multiple files with "one" control.

I want to load all the images with the specific name and ended with a digit like image1.jpg, image2.jpg, image3.jpg, etc. The problem is that I wouldn't know in advance how many of them, so I just keep looping until I am told there is no more file.

I recall doing something like this before.
As long as you know the names of the files i believe you can use this technique on both server or client side.
The IMG tag has a fileSize property which is read only. So what I would do ischange the IMG SRC dynamically and capture the onload the IMG fires when it loads any image, etc. In the onload handler check the fileSize property. If it's Zero or negative (I can't remember) the file doesn't exist or didn't load properly.
HTH

That's one good technique but if it's used in a loop, the time it takes to load the image is certainly longer and the size it finds must be 0. How do I get around this?
|

It's the only technique you can use when all you have at your disposal is a javascript. If you can use PHP or ASP, then it's obviously much better to build the array of files and output them as an JScript array.
It doesn't sound like you can do this???

Get around what? The fileSize attribute should return the size in bytes of the file. If it doesn't, then something went wrong (i think)
One thing I do remember, is the IMG tag must NOT have it's dimensions set explicitly and I don't think it can be invisible.
Cheers
