Parser error: could'nt load .global file

You're probably picking up a THEAD and a TBODY, which get thrown in just to confuse you! Wink | ;)

This should help you find out what the structure is:
NB: I've only tested this on IE6, but it should work!

<html>
<head>
<title>Test Child Nodes</title>
<script language="javascript">
<!--
function Test() {
   var lst = document.getElementById("lstControls");
   var ctrl = document.getElementById("RadioButtonList1");
   if (!ctrl.type && typeof(ctrl.firstChild)!='undefined') {
      IterateControl(ctrl, '', lst);
   }
}

function IterateControl(oParent, sParent, lst) {
   for(var i=0; i<oParent.childNodes.length; i++) {
      var item = oParent.childNodes[i];
      if (item.tagName) {
         var opt = document.createElement("OPTION");
         opt.text = sParent + item.tagName;
         opt.value = item.outerHTML;
         lst.add(opt);
         IterateControl(item, sParent + '   ', lst);
      }
   }
}

function showControl(lst) {
   var lbl = document.getElementById("lblControl");
   lbl.innerText = lst.options[lst.selectedIndex].value;
}
//-->
</script>
</head>

.NET page templates and the form element

MS le Roux30-Aug-02 3:32

Is it possible to create a page template that contains a server-side <form> element? I would like to create a template that contains a few server-side controls.
I've played around with creating a template with a <form>, but it seems the only <form> element I can create on the template is an HTMLForm.
When I run a page that inherits from this template, the page has no VIEWSTATE, and cannot do postbacks. If the <form> is on the page instead of on the template, the page does have VIEWSTATE and postbacks work correctly.

.NET Richtextbox control

Has anyone used the RichTextBox ASP.NET control in a project yet?

So far it looks very good and exactly what we need for our CMS, but I do not want to get my hopes up all over again and then have them dashed Smile | :)

Any opinions appreciated, ta.

I haven't used it, but it's easy enough (and cheaper Big Grin | :-D

) to roll your own.

I've got a version wrapped up as an HTML behaviour and a few supporting pages. It doesn't have the design-time support and toolbar customization, but the basics are there:

Yeah we tried to roll our own for a project once (I had three days in which to do it though which bites.)

The basics are all pretty easy to do using IE. It is when you get to more complex features, such as applying CSS classes, that things start to unravel (and which the RichTextBox seems to do well.)

Also we need to output XHTML compliant code, though I recently figured out I can pipe-line HTML Tidy into the solution to get this done.

There were lots of niggly issues we ran into when doing our own, which RichTextBox seems to get around.

Looks great. How can we make use of it in a commercial project? (not for re-sell but a bespoke CMS system for our clients)

i.e. What are your licensing terms?

I can't guarantee that it would be 100% XHTML compliant, but it does have a good go. The tags and attribute names will be in lower case, attribute values will be quoted, all tags will be closed, and all tags will be properly nested.

<div class='HTML_INSERT' style='display:none;' text='[CAPTION OF INSERT]'<
    [HTML to insert]
</div>

function test() {
    alert(document.getElementById("test").value);
}
function testLink() {
    event.showDialog = false;
    event.Url = "http://www.codeproject.com/";
}
//-->
</script>
</head>
<body>

<div 
    style="width:100%; behavior:url(htmleditor.htc);" 
    id="testHTML" formname="test" 
    includeSymbol="1" 
        includeAccentSymbol="0" includeArrowSymbol="0" 
        includeMathSymbol="0" includeFmtSymbol="0" 
    usebr="1" oninsertlink="testLink()"
>

<!--The form element. The editor will take it's value from this.-->
<textarea name="test" id="test" rows="5" cols="50">
<p><em>Test</em> of HTML HTC</p>
</textarea>

<!--The easiest way to check whether the editor was run from the server:-->
<input type="hidden" name="test_IsHTML" value="0" />

<!--A custom insert.-->
<div class="HTML_Insert" style="display:none;" text="Disclaimer">
<hr size="1" color="#eeeeee" noshade />
<span>Well, this works then!</span>
</div>

</div>

<button onclick="test();">Test</button>
</body>
</html>

IE5+ users will get the editor, everyone else will get the standard text-box.

Serial Port

Todd Marshall29-Aug-02 3:09

Todd Marshall

Is it possible for a web browser to access the users serial port to receive data from a peripheral to be used in a website? Such as having a small barcode scanner with barcodes scanned in it, the user then goes to a website to order the items scanned, and the webite reads the data from the scanner and compares the scanned items with a central database. If so, what technology?

Re: Serial Port

Maciej Pirog29-Aug-02 4:26

Do not use just a web browser. Create a separate app that will scan barcodes, and then send the data using eg HTTP protocol.

You can also put a web browser control in your app, or create a plug-in for IE!

If your clients get barcodes scanners, barcodes, they can also get an additional app! Smile | :)

Hello,

i can get the date of the last modify of a document using document.lastModified. But is it possible to get the last modify date of any file using a function plus a pointer to the file?
The point is, i want show the user the upload time of a downloadable file.

Thanks,
Dominik

Use "Scripting.FileSystemObject" ActiveX scripting,

MSDN reference

function ShowFileAccessInfo(filespec)
{
   var fso, f, s;
   fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
   f = fso.GetFile(filespec);
   s = filespec.toUpperCase() + "<br>";
   s += "Created: " + f.DateCreated + "<br>";
   s += "Last Accessed: " + f.DateLastAccessed + "<br>";
   s += "Last Modified: " + f.DateLastModified;
   return(s);
}

And I swallow a small raisin.

Is it possible to do this without ActiveX, in pure JavaScript?

Wouldn't there be some problems if Javascript itself was able to access the FileSystem ? This would be a security flaw.

If you can use document.lastModified for the current web page, there is no magics behind, that's because the web server puts these info in the HTTP headers.

As a matter of fact, you may use Web-DAV (an extension of HTTP) for what you need, but that brings us very far. See MS SharePoint.
