Yes. On a Unix box running Apache, you may see something like www, public_html, etc. where the actual document root is. It's rarely the same as your home directory for a virtual domain.

Because it's not publicly accessible to everyone - which has to be done in order for web pages to show up in the browser.
If you can admin the system on your own, I would suggest keeping everything related to your webpage in the document root, however, to make it easier to move around. Create a "passwd" subdirectory and chmod that sucker to 750 and put the include file in there and chmod it to 640.
Note that the user Apache/PHP runs as will affect its access. Apache may be ran as the user nobody, or something similar. Which means there's a chance it might not have access to that folder you just created. So, either chgrp the "passwd" directory you created or change the user/group combo that Apache/PHP runs in - if it doesn't match.
If you can't admin the system, then just keep it outside of the document root as a quick fix. This still will stop anyone from the web from seeing it.

hey all,
I've been writing some ASP.NET with VB.NET recently. So far I have *not* been able to publish things by copy/paste to my ISP, brinkster. So what I've ended up doing is modifying the VS.NET generated page, taking out the code behind and inherit directives and writing everything in one single page with embedded ASP.NET (a at the top).
This seems to do the trick.
When I'm running things locally though I've also noticed that a "View in Browser" doesn't work with the codebehind etc... and istead I have to use the "set start page" and let VS.NET compile everything first.
Am I just not deploying things correctly to my ISP? How can I compile things locally and then just copy them over to the server?
Thanks much,

Is there any way to detect when a form is submitted using the form.submit() method?  Thanks.
|
|
|
|
|
From the client side...???
I've never tried it myself but
<br />
<input type="submit" onSubmit="alert('onSubmit detected');"><br />
should do the trick

and if you return false from the function you call in the onclick() event handler it wont do the submit

Hi All
Im using a DSN To connect to my SQL Database.And i thought when u use a DSN we dont have to give out the username and password in the connection string and that the DSN name would do..
But on the contray my application is working when i give the dsn name but also the username and password that i sued to create the DSN.
Now this is confusing me..
Dim Connection
Set Connection = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
Connection.Open "DSN=myDSN"
this does not work..
But
Dim Connection
Set Connection = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
Connection.Open "DSN=myDSN;UserID=john;pwd=joker;"
now this works.
Any Suggestions..
Regards

Well, yes you need, lol 
Database drivers are not using username and password stored in DSN. Actually password is not stored in DSN, only the last used username.

I'm currently using PHP but I imagine ASP wouldn't be much different.
Everytime I call a script to process some form data...that script always either chnages the current windows HTML or opens a new window and generates HTML there...the problem I have with this is if you send 150 forms a day...it's really annoying having to click back or close the Thank you for responding window each time you send data to the server.
So I have come to the conclusion I have 2 options, but would like to know if another exists...
1) I could use the META tag to redirect the PHP back to the original HTML page after so many seconds.
2) I could program some trivial JScript to reload the HTML page after the onLoad event has been fired.
My question is this...CO in it's URL's often has the filename of another ASP script in it's URL encoded paramters...what are the scripts doing with this filename paramter..??? Anything like the above..? or is there a way for your server scripts to redirect browsers using a function call...?? I'm thinking this can't happen, but I could be wrong...
[modify] - Actually...what I would like to know is acn PHP act like Perl so that nothing changes and scripts are just exectued on the server side of things..???
Thanx
Cheers!
Cool we finally have HLEing for html...;P

One solution would be to have just a single php page. When it's opened normally it displays your form. If it's given post information it processes the information, displays some kind of thankyou message, and re-displays a new form

I thought of that also, but I was hoping I could somehow avoid this. Looks like thats not gonna happen using PHP...ah well.
Thanx again.

I'm not sure that I can help you directly if this has anything to do with Oracle because I use MS SQL Server professionally, however because Oracle is a relational database you will need to create a SQL statement that is valid. Does Oracle support stored procedure like MS SQL Server? I guess I am not really sure of what you are doing here, could you explain?

I have a form that when the user presses <enter> the form is submitted. I don't want to stop this.
What I would also like to do is in particular edit/input boxes, I'd like to trap the <enter> keypress and run a javascript function.
Anyone know how to do this please?

I assume you mean you do want to stop this. If so then just put onsubmit="return false;" in your FORM element.
Jeremy Davis wrote:

Use the onkeypress event. e.g. <input type="text" onkeypress="return dojavascriptfunction()" />
Then whenever a key is pressed in that edit box, it will call the JavaScript function called dojavascriptfunction.

Sorry! If you write <ENTER without <code> tags, it obviously disappears in the message. In particular I want to trap the <ENTER> key and no others. How could I use the onkeypress method to do this?

LOL relax.
So you want to check if the user pressed the ENTER key. No problemo.
In the previously mentioned function put this code:
if (window.event.keyCode==65) alert ('A pressed !')
That will trap for the A key. Not sure what the ASCII/ANSI keycode is for enter, you need to look that up.

Sorry about the last two emails with missing words. I really should use "preview" first! If you write without tags, it obviously disappears in the message.
Anyway I want to trap the key and no others. How could I use the onkeypress method to do this?

I'd like to validate as XHTML strict, I really, really would. But...
I can't get around a few things.
The first is that it doesn't like my language="JavaScript" attributes. Can I get away with just they type="text/javascript" part? That is, will the browser assume JavaScript unless tolds otherwise? I'm targeting IE/NS 4+ or so. I've heard about a <meta> tag somewhere for setting the default scripting type, but can't remember the syntax (or indeed if it's even useful at all).
The worst (IMO), is the lack of support for the target attribute of the <a> tag. Can I open links in new windows without resorting to JavaScript foolery? Surely the W3C hasn't gone that far...
Other than that, I'm completely XHTML Strict compliant!!!
Now if someone would tell me about this XHTML 1.1 stuff...

Using XHTML Strict is not easy and I wouldn't count on that old browsers accept type="text/javascript", but it's the only valid way. The meta command defines the same and only saves the type declaration in the script tags:
<meta http-equiv="content-script-type" type="text/javascript"/>
The target attribute is defined in the 'Target Module' of XHTML. I'm not sure how to import these modules to the XHTML DTD but I think this violation is really acceptable!
Have fun!
P.S.: What really sux is the deprecation of the style attribute!

You shouldn't need to open a new window from an <a> element. If you ever do need to open a new window then yes using JavaScript is ok, but it shouldn't originate from an <a> element, it is not expected behavouir for a link.
HTML is meant to structure a document. The W3C is moving HTML back to doing that, veering away from the application path that Netscape and IE sent it on.
Other technologies will then be used for the application side (e.g. XSL:FO.)
p.s. Saying all that, being XHTML Strict compliant is not worth it. Transitional is a good target to head for, especially in the real world.

Didn't know about that, but on checking yes XHTML 1.0 Strict does not allow the language attribute. Weird.
Guess text/javascript will have to be the indicator. Though this sucks when it comes to IDEs which pop-up intellisense based on the language attribute.

I guess so. It just made more sense for external links not to take the user away from my site, but I suppose it is important to keep the document structured.
Hehe, you should see how structured I have my documents: they're XML files containing a mix of my own custom elements and XHTML, like so:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Page xmlns="/PageWriter/TemplateSchema.xsd" xmlns:XHTML="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<Head>
<Title>Home Page</Title>
<Image Width="225">/Images/PageTitles/HomePage.gif</Image>
</Head>
<Body>
<XHTML:p>
Blah Blah Blah <XHTML:em>Blah!</XHTML:em>
</XHTML:p>
<XHTML:p>
Hers's a link: <Link Href="/Creations/" Status="The Creations"
Comment="Go to the home page for my Creations, random C++ and C# programs I make in my
free time which you quite probably will find useful.">random C++ and C#

</XHTML:p>

Which gets transformed into a combo of XHTML and ASP.NET code. What do you think? I'm pretty proud of it myself...

Don't get me started on IDEs... they hate XHTML. I wonder if I could write an addin for VS.NET to make it like XHML and output valid XHTML everywhere? Hmm...

Well there is a lot of thinking on that matter and it is split 50/50 on whether new windows make sites stickier or not. I personally feel they don't.

Looks pretty sweet. You going to publish your system so that other people can use it sometime?

Well from what I know of at least the ASP.NET web controls is that you can sub-class them and write the valid XHTML code for them.
So then you have two versions of the web control. One, your sub-classed one, outputs valid XHTML while the other, the MS default one, outputs crap.
Various people have said they are going to do this, but nobody has yet done it. Will be cool when they do (it seems a bit of a job though, something you need stacks of time for.)

That's the plan; once I complete at least a first draft of my website with it. I'll make sure to write an article for CP on it when I do.
