a web server delivers data as fast as it can, in bursts... great for delivering files but not for the constant bitstream that streaming media requires... hence media servers. If the media is Windows Media and is delivered from a web server (HTTP) then it will automatically come down to the client media player as a progressive download. If it is delivered from a Windows Media Server (for instance, check out VitalStream's services and a streaming media host) AND the URL is mms://..../mymediafile.wmv and NOT http://......../mymediafile.wmv is will be streamed at a constant bitrate (the media file stays on the media server... the ongoing bitstream is read and discarded at the client).
hope this helps

Thanks.
I am downloading from a web server, but want progressive downloading in the way that you describe happens via a media server, I think. In sum, I just want the media player to play the first amount of data downloaded while the remainder is downloading, (displaying the buffer contents, if you like.)
Do you know how to do that using the web server technology? I have before downloaded a media file from a standard linux server, and Windows Media Player at the client took care of buffering etc. But you seem to be suggesting that the Windows Server I have will have to be especially configured for streaming?
Thanks again.

If you will be having a lot of "hits" its better to locate the media on a media server for the sake of quality delivery. If you run a small web server, you can use Windows Media Encoder (can be downloaded from MSDN downloads) to handle up to 10 connections for streaming the windows media to the client. If you just want to make the file available for download... all you have to do is put the file on your web server and Windows Media Player will handle the download and the buffering and playback during download. I can't speak for other streaming media types since I work exclusively with WinMedia... but I'm pretty sure they are the same as far a progressive download. The best way to feed a file to the client is to use an playlist file that refers to the actual movie or audio file(s) you wish to make available. Download the Windows Media Player SDK... its very thorough.

From what I can Remember this function if open not allowed in HTML pr JavaScript.
This is for the obvious reason that people don't want websites accessing their files.
You may be able to do this however, through the nightmare that is Java. I think that6 an applet would be able to call a file.
Oh well good luck with this.

I will preface this by saying I am not a programmer. I can usually customize code to suit my needs but that's about it.
I hope I can describe what I am looking for.
I am looking to count how many times a button (just an image with a _blank url) is pressed and show that count on another page.
I've attempted to Google this with no good results.
If you can't help me can you point me in the right direction? I'm doing this for work. Not something I am hired to do but as a freelancer I try to give as much as I can.

function count_click()
{
var btn_hit = document.form_name.hidden_name.value;
counter = btn_hit + 1;
btn_hit = counter;
}
through hidden variable you can pass the counter value to the next page

I have a question about uploading files with PHP that I was hoping someone could help me with. I am able to upload a .txt file to a directory I created called uploads, however when I open the file with my text editor it is blank. When I list the files in this directory with the ls –la command it says the owner of the file is apache and not my username. The permission are –rw-------, so I do not think I have read permission since I am not the owner, however it will not let me change the permissions on the file. It says, changing permissions is not permitted.

That is quite a conundrum.

Does that mean the server is local?
What OS is the server running on?
Can you further explain your problem and provide the code you use?

chmod 755 permission to the folder where you want to store images.

i upload my web site to server http://www.vwdhosting.net/ and i upload to another server
the web site show runtime error
this is the error
An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: TCP Provider, error: 0 - A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond.)
the problem occur when the web site run into the server but
when run into vwd the page work correct
in vwd i used the data base in the server
i use vwd2005
thank you

Is the SQL Server on the same box as the web app? if so try using localhost as the host location.
or else you have to confiore the access rights in your SQL Server to allow connections from the IP of the box you are connecting from. Remember that if it not in your LAN you use your IP, else you use your... LAN IP (im tired).
Hope that helped.

thank you
how ican used the LAN IP
abdullah

Enter the LAN IP of the computer with the SQL Server.
Example:
192.186.0.4
Every network is structured differently. Google the topic to get information. If you are in an office ask the companies Admin for the SQL Server's IP.

Classic ASP is really a HTML template embedded into javascript or vbscript. The Visual Studio editor is expecting HTML or HTML/ASP.NET. You can modify the behavior of the editor by going to the Tools menu and selecting Options/Text Editor/HTML

I found this javascript popup calendar control:
http://www.dynarch.com/projects/calendar/[^]
According to folks in their forum, it should work on a ASP.NEt 2.0 form, but for the life of me, I can't get it to work. Can someone with more asp.net experience than me try to make it work on a sample page?
Many thanks in advance.

Standard question #1:
What do you mean by "not working"?
Standard question #2:
What error message do you get?
