We have a document library application on the web. Currently if a user wants to edit a document they have to download it, make the edits, then reupload the file. I would like to make the edit process easier for users; I am thinking that if I could create a URL that would launch the document using web folders/webdav then they could just open the file, make changes and save - and the document would automatically be updated on the server.
Does anyone know if this can be done or how to do it? (Or any better ideas on how to make the editing process easier for our users...)
(I was formerly a software developer but have being doing UI design for the last 7 years and am not up to date on all the latest programming techiques.)
Thanks!

It's possible to open a document on remote server using an application on a desktop, by simply clicking the file or a link which points at the files URL the file "should" download to local computer and launch appropriate application.
However, when the document is saved or modified, it can not be automatically uploaded back to the server, without some special desktop software which can:
1) Capture the applicaiton in questions "Save" command
2) Have knowledge of where the file is going to re-uploaded too
It's not possible that way.
There may be a work around depending on the types of files that need editing.
Text files could be edited using a HTML TEXTAREA or if it's HTML you could use WYSIWYG editors...
If you document is PDF or word, etc...thats much more difficult...the only solution I can think of is write a PDF -> HTML converter (Edit contents in WYSIWYG) and convert HTML back to PDF, etc...and save contents back to file...
This is not a trivial task however...I'm not even sure if HTML WYSIWYG contain enough stle information to re-build a PDF exactly as it was

I am not absolutely sure of this but you must allow your application to do this via the Microsoft .NET Framework Configuration tool in the Control Panel of the client's system. However, I won't attempt this!

I am using the CDO.Message object to send mail from an ASP page but the mail does not get delivered, how can I view debug information to see where the problem is occuring?
Thanks in advance!

Have you used Err Object to find Error on the ASP page?
Some of the web server currently not supporting the CDO Component
You can try by using CDONTS.

Hi,
I have a problem with my menu. I have a css menu staying visible on all the application.
Though, I created a page using iframes and whenever I open a pop up from this new window my menu disappear.
With no reason at all. When I look in the code of the page it is equal before and after the opening.
Any idea of what would do that? A javascript bog? A IE bog? A conception to review?
Thanks in advance

If you need Graphical output over webpage you can go for VML (Vector Markup Language)

But VML is only supported by IE 5.0 and over.

Hello,
How do we pass a severside object (e.g a listbox) to a client-side javascript function?
I have an idea that it could be this:
//string variable
string objectID;
//get the object's control identifier
objectID = listbox.ClientID;
//pass the object's control identifier
ctl1.attribute["onClick"] = "returnContextMenu({0},objectID);";
Is it correct?

Hi,
I know this is a simple piece of code, but I'm a little brain dead at the moment.
I have a basic HTML table. If I resize the Internet Explorer window, I want the table to also resize so that it "fits to screen" instead of having to scroll from side to side in order to see the whole table.
What's the code for that again?
Thanks!!
Jane

If your scrolling side to side or horizontal scrolling...
It's likely because you have a PRE tag or html entities causing that...or anything that doesn't allow line breaks.
You could possibly have a DIV or a SPAN tag width set to greater than the TABLE width, which will also causes HScrolling...which is really annoying
Show your code in question and I'll try and show you what I mean...

Thanks! I do have a span tag. I'll remove it.

Thanks for your help, but it's because of a span tag that I have in my table.
|
|
|
|
|
Note: The table tag doesn't have any height property. You have to use css to set the height of a table.
