Hello all,
I've inherited a site that has a table-based layout . The center TD in the table is where all the content goes. We can't change the layout from a table-based one just yet, but they still want the content in the center TD to scroll while the rest of the layout remains unmoved. They'd also like to accomplish this without the use of frames and without scrollbars appearing. I think this is likely to be impossible without breaking out of the table-based layout. Just so I have asked people smarter than me though, any ideas on how to make this happen?
Thanks,
Will

Why wouldn't they want scrollbars in the center cell, if they intend it to scroll? 
Regardless, you can probably just set the dimensions of the table such that the whole thing fits on screen at once (100%x100%, assuming there are no margins or padding on the body). Then do the same for the table cells and use the overflow:hidden style on the center TD (overflow:auto would show scrollbars).

100% is broken in IE.
[edit: No, I don't mean "100% of IE is broken"  ]

More 70%....
But since when is it broken, I've used it a couple of times.

The 100% specifier has (in my experience) been less than ideal because it sets the width/height at 100% of the page load size and doesn't resize the object if the window resizes.
Maybe I just expect different things from 100%...

Oh yes, that is true...
But think of it from the perspective of the MS employee....
"I just had the bloody browser render the page and now they want it to do it again just because they want a different window size! Forget it, they can refresh!"

Hey just whilst you're reading Chris, I was wondering if you are trying to channel more Web Dev to CP..
I love CP and it is pretty much the only forum I use.... But my primary Web Language is PHP and JAVA (I call it Pava).
Anyway that is besides the point, are you trying to encourage more Web Developers to go to the forums, or are you just sticking to .NETers?

Always. But we are concentrating solely on Visual Studio and .NET topics simply to ensure discussion and content is focussed.

Slightly contradictory isn't that?;P
I care to remind you that you can also use Visual Studio to create Web Services.

Funny thing 'bout that: it works fine in quirks mode, but screws up in standards mode.
You know, i hate to say it, but i'm starting to suspect that the CSS support in IE6 is just a tad... half-baked.

My chat programm written in ASP.net is not successfully finished . How can i connect the application to the other server or to the local server?
Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
mahi

Most chat programs are not written as web apps. Either way, they all connect to a central server, and it's the server that maintains the connection between users.

If it's an ASP.NET app, it's already connected to the server.

If you need an immediate answer, why not use the right forum ?
mahili wrote: please tell me how to stop it
By turning off autopostback, or using AJAX ( probaby via Atlas )

There isn't one. There are a number of free or commercial ones you can use.

OK - so in summary:

You don't know how to use google
mahili wrote: what do mean by outopostback?
You don't know what a postback is
mahili wrote: i have to submmit my project on wdnesday
But you've taken an ASP.NET project. Rentacoder, right ?
If you want your page to do stuff, it needs to either post back ( that is, refresh ) when people do things like click a button, or use Ajax. If you don't know enough about ASP.NET to know what a postback is, the odds of you learning AJAX in three days are very low indeed.

No, he meant "Outback". He wants to know where to get a really bad steak with onions.

Absolute class man. Chris can we have a 10 vote on this one please?
The whole answer is worthy of a sig.

Immediate answer? You may want to have a meaningful description in the subject.
Postbacks are common in web development. Your other choice is Ajax/Atlas.
