IE toolbars' positioning problem

9-Oct-05 22:59

First of all, make sure that you have a doctype tag as the first line in the document. You can't put an xml tag in the document, or IE will ignore the doctype tag. If you don't have a doctype, the browser will work in 'Quirks Mode', which will make the browser interpret the html code as browser specific as possible, e.g. like ancient versions of the browser would interpret it.

If you have padding and borders on the elements, their size is added to the specified size, so if you specify a width of 50% and have padding and/or borders, the total width will be more than 50%.

There is a bug in IE where it in some cases will need three extra pixels in the width of the containing element for the elements inside it to fit.

For the customer, put each customer in an element, and each property in an element inside it. Quite similar to how you would do it in xml.

<div class="Customer">
	<div class="FirstName"></div>
	<div class="LastName"></div>
	<div class="Email"></div>
</div>

Now you can format this any way you like, using css. Example:

.Customer { clear: both; height: 20px; }
.Customer div { float: left; }
.Customer .FirstName { width: 100px; }
.Customer .LastName { width: 100px; }
.Customer .Email { width: 150px; }

I'm trying to change the position of the IE toolbars, in order to save some space on the screen. When i'm closing the browser and then reopen it, the toolbars are moving back to their default coordinates. Do you know how should i solve this issue?

I'm running IE 6.0 with SP1, on a Win2K machine.

Javascript problem, please help

Hi,

How can I control mouse over event in the server-side code that send Javascript code to the client as follows:

Chart1.Series[0].MapAreaAttributes = "onmouseout=\"javascript:document.body.style.cursor='default';\" onmouseover=\"javascript: document.body.style.cursor='hand'; window.location='WebForm1.aspx?pointIndex=#INDEX';\"";

I only like to happen something when I move the mouse pointer over specified area, but only for the first time. For example, when I move mouse pointer over some element on the web page, some code should be executed:

onmouseover=\"javascript: document.body.style.cursor='hand'; window.location='WebForm1.aspx?pointIndex=#INDEX';\

and some flag should be set(?). When I do the same (mouse over) later, that code should be blocked by flag.

But, how can I declare some global variable in the situation above?

Or, is there any other method I can use to resolve this?

I need urgent help.

Thank you in advance.

Goran

On the server side, once you get a postback, you can write a javascript to declare a flag variable which will be checked by your onmouseover. Any javascript variables declared outside a function is considered global for that page.

Clearing the Screen

Hi All,
I JUST starting in JS, so pardon my obvious ignorance. I have a little CBM experience, so some of the code structure may look a little funky.
I am trying to clear the screen in a very simple script, but so far all of my research has not found a "native" method.
Is it even possible under JS?
I have tried several methods from various sites, none of which manage to clear the screen ready for the next set of entries.
This IS a problem set by my TAFE tutors, but what I am trying to do is beyond what they have asked for. The program is complete, I just thought it would be nicer to clear the screen if the confirm loop is repeated, instead of scrolling down the page after each operation.

My Code is as follows:

<b><html>
<head>
<title> problem 13 </title>

</head>
<body bgcolor=silver>

<script language=JavaScript>
var mark=0, student=" ", total=0, level=0, avg=0, again=1;

var grade=[[49,"FAIL"],[59,"PASS"],[69,"CREDIT"],[70,"DISTINCTION"],[83,"HIGH DISTINCTION"],[100,"TOP"]];

mess1="Student Name:";
mess2="Marks in Subject ";
mess3="<u>Total Marks</u>: ";
mess4="<u>Average</u>: ";
mess5="<u>Grade</u>: ";

var show0="</b></font>";
var show1="<font color=red><b>";
var show2="<font color=black><b>";
var show3="<font color=purple><b>";
var show4="<font color=blue><b>";
var show5="<font color=green><b>";

while (again>=1) {
var mark=0, student="Student", total=0, level=0, avg=0;

document.write("<font face=times><center><h1>Problem 13</h1><hr size=7 width=50%></hr><font face=arial>") ;

student=prompt(mess1,"Student");
document.write("<table><tr><td width=200>"+mess1+"</td><td>"+student+"</td><tr>")

for ( x=1; x<=6; x++ ) {
mark=prompt(mess2+x,0);
total=parseInt(total)+parseInt(mark)
document.write("<td><b>"+mess2+"</b>"+x+": </td><td>"+mark+"</td><tr>")
}
avg=parseInt((total/6)*100)/100

document.write("<td>"+mess3+"</td><td>"+total+"</td>")
document.write("<tr><td>"+mess4+"</td><td>"+avg+"</td>")
document.write("<tr><td>"+mess5+"</td><td width=200>")

if (avg<=100&&avg>=83) { document.write(show5+grade[4] [1]+show0) }
if (avg<=82&&avg>=71) { document.write(show4+grade[3] [1]+show0) }
if (avg<=70&&avg>=61) { document.write(show3+grade[2] [1]+show0) }
if (avg<=60&&avg>=50) { document.write(show2+grade[1] [1]+show0) }
if (avg<=49&&avg>=0) { document.write(show1+grade[0] [1]+show0) }

document.write("</td></table><br>")

again=confirm("Enter Another Students Details?");
}

</script><p>
THANK YOU!

You are using the web page in a quite peculiar way. You are using it as if it were a console window, not a web page. There is no way to clear the screen, at least not the way you are thinking of.

The normal way for a web page to operate is that the entire page is created, then the user interacts with it. If you want to change the contents of the page as the user interacts with it, you create elements and add them into the document structure of the page. You can also hide or remove objects from the document.

Thanks Guffa,
I had thought as much. That was the method the TAFE lecturer asked us to use. You are right, once the page is written, it has to stay there.
Again, thank you for your time and advice.

In line with what you said, how then would I make the page display a renewable console that opens, displays the results, waits for confirmation of closure or repetition? This is at the moment, beyond my experience.

If it's too much inconvenience, thanks for your time all the same, I do appreciate any help.

Here's a little example. It's a place holder and a form. When you press the button the text is added in an element in the place holder.

<html>
<head>
<title>Demo</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
function Add(text) {
	var placeHolder = document.getElementById('List');
	var obj = document.createElement('div');
	obj.innerHTML = text;
	placeHolder.appendChild(obj);
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="List"></div>
<form>
<input type="text" name="Text">
<input type="button" value="add" onclick="Add(this.form.Text.value);this.form.Text.value='';">
</form>
</body>
</html>

I'm not sure if I understand the problem correctly but here goes my 2c Cool | :cool:

You could put the whole page in a <table> like this:

<body><br />
<table id="some_name"><br />
put your stuff here in tr/td..<br />
</table><br />
</body>

and in JS, just do something like

getElementById('some_name').visible = false;

That should do it..

Hm.. I'm not sure this will work, but you might try it anyway:

<table id="the_table"><br />
-your stuff inside-<br />
</table>

and in JS, maybe you could do something like:

document.getElementById('the_table').innerHtml = "";

and then start writing in it again, with something like:

document.getElementById('the_table').innerHtml += "<tr><td>stuff</td></tr>";

It's just a theory, but do let me know if it works Cool | :cool:

How to Highlight the items in listbox in javascript?

20-Oct-05 1:30

To Guffa, T1TAN, et al:
Many thanks for your interest, attention and VERY helpful hints and directions. I have gained a better understanding of the language, its limitations and capabilities, all due to your splendid help.

In broad answer, the TAFE course involves JavaScript. This will show you just how dumb some guys (pointing at myself here) can be. I had no knowledge that there was even a difference between JavaScript and JScript... yeah, I know, REAL blonde....

Again, thanks,

I shall try not to waste everyones time with such trivial questions in the future

appreciatively yours,

Hi, there,

I would like to know how to Highlight the items in the listbox during onmouseover event. I want it to look the same as the choice list box, in which the mouseover will highlight the item.
when I hold on left mouse button and move cursor over list box, the mouseover will highlight the item. How can I do it without holding the left mouse button?

Is there a way to do this?

Thank you very much.

Error using the Web Site Administration Tool

I am getting the following error message in Security tab of the Web Site Administration tool:

Value cannot be null. Parameter name: virtualPath

I have only noticed this error when I host the web site on my local IIS in a directory that is not under c:\inetpub\wwwroot\. That is, I have created a separate folder that I web shared to use as the web application folder. The web application runs fine, showing that the web shared folder is set up correctly on the local IIS, but I cannot set up the security / users/ roles in the Web Site Admin tool. I do not observe this problem if the web site folder is under c:\inetpub\wwwroot. Has anyone come accross this problem?

Hi,
I'm trying to write something on Session Timeout. I want to display a message box before it redirects the page to the login page. I'm using .ASP net.I have configure the web.config under the sessionstate as timeout 1 min, but the Session_OnEnd event I wrote doesn't fire. Can anyone help me on it?

Thanks in advance,

Thats because the session hasn't ended and just timed out. If you close the browser window you should be able to see the event being fired.
